  • Publication number: 20140184427
    Abstract: A corner sensor assembly includes a housing having at least one magnet attached thereto, wherein the magnets allow the corner sensor assembly to be readily attached and relocated to corner structures within a building. The assembly includes at least one motion sensor for detecting motion within two opposing fields of monitoring. At least one visual indicator is activated when the motion sensors detect motion within both fields of monitoring and are deactivated when no motion is sensed in at least one of the fields of monitoring. The assembly includes an integrated power supply located within the housing.

  • Publication number: 20140052782
    Abstract: Various social feed filtering procedures are described with respect to a social community platform that includes a web service, a feed module, and a feed filtering engine. Social feed members can establish a relevance ranking for each feed item in a group of candidate feed items. The relevance ranking is based on one or more defined social feed criteria. Feed items determined not to be relevant to the social feed criteria can be filtered from the group of candidate feed items, to enable generation of a custom-filtered social feed. Thereafter, the social feed can be presented at a device interface of a computing device. The social feed criteria used to identify the relevance of various feed items may be associated with any of a social community relationship, a social feed topic, member context information, related member interests, or the like.

  • Publication number: 20140052655
    Abstract: The present application describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for assigning sponsors to a new member of a commerce platform. One or more of a plurality of existing members of the commerce platform with connections to a new member are identified. The social commerce platform is configured to cause display, on a device associated with the new member, a list of the one or more of the plurality of existing members to enable selection of one of the existing members in whose network within the commerce platform the new member will participate. The social commerce platform is configured to select one of the existing members in whose network within the commerce platform the new member will participate based at least on relative strengths of the connections.

  • Publication number: 20140051417
    Abstract: Embodiments describe computing systems and methods for providing directed service activation error resolution to service subscribers. During service activation, a request to port a telephone number from an existing service of a subscriber to a new service of the subscriber is transmitted to a carrier activation service. In response to the request, an error message is received from the carrier activation service that indicates a number port error. Based on the error message, it is determined that the number port error is resolvable, and a user interface is provided to the subscriber that enables the subscriber to cause submission of a corrected request to port the telephone number.

  • Publication number: 20140051464
    Abstract: The present application describes methods, systems, and apparatuses for prequalifying prospective service subscribers for a service, such as a mobile service, an energy service, a cable television service, and so forth. A prequalification engine receives from a client computing device, prequalification information of a potential service subscriber. The prequalification information includes location information of the potential service subscriber, existing equipment or devices of the potential service subscriber, and the like. The prequalification engine determines, based at least on the prequalification information, whether the potential service subscriber qualifies for a service, and transmits, to the client computing device, an indication that the potential service subscriber does or does not qualify for the service.

  • Publication number: 20130244621
    Abstract: Various subscriber acquisition tools for mobile and other services are described. Members' mobile devices include a user interface with a selectable option that causes the display of transaction screens for provision of the new service for a prospective member. The transaction screens are interactive to receive prospective member information for provision of the new service. Member information that is associated with the mobile device is also transmitted to the transaction service. The member information is usable by the transaction service to correlate the provision of the service for the prospective member to an existing member service. Also described are social networking tools for new member acquisition.

  • Patent number: 8123283
    Abstract: A cargo protecting system for a vehicle having a load-carrying bed comprises a support structure and a bed floor fixedly supported by the support structure. The support structure forms at least a portion of a frame of a vehicle. The bed floor includes a support surface having a plurality of longitudinal extending, spaced apart raised ridges for directly supporting cargo. Each ridge has elevated and angled parts and an upper part. The upper part of each ridge has an increased thickness compared to the other parts and a raised section for increased strength and rigidity of the ridge. Each ridge includes a wear resistant surface having a first texture disposed substantially over the entire ridge and a second texture disposed over the upper part of the ridge. The second texture is disposed at least partially over the first texture.
