  • Methods, Systems, and Products for Recalling and Retrieving Documentary Evidence
    Publication number: 20170132254
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products help users recall memories and search for content of those memories. When a user cannot recall a memory, the user is prompted with questions to help recall the memory. As the user answers the questions, a virtual recollection of the memory is synthesized from the answers to the questions. When the user is satisfied with the virtual recollection of the memory, a database of content may be searched for the virtual recollection of the memory. Video data, for example, may be retrieved that matches the virtual recollection of the memory. The video data is thus historical data documenting past events.

  • Methods, Systems, and Products for Authentication of Users
    Publication number: 20170132403
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products authenticate users for access to devices, applications, and services. Skills of a user are learned over time, such that an electronic model of random subject matter may be generated. The user is prompted to interpret the random subject matter, such as with an electronic drawing. The user's interpretation is then compared to the electronic model of the random subject matter. If the user's interpretation matches the electronic model, the user may be authenticated.

  • Dynamically Served Content
    Publication number: 20170099342
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products determine a best version of webpage. A webpage may have many different versions, with each different version tailored to parameters associated with a client device. A database of content associates the different versions to different combinations and/or ranges of the parameters. When the client device requests the webpage, the parameters are retrieved and the corresponding version is selected and sent.

  • Clustering Search Results
    Publication number: 20160321346
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products cluster search results according to a common clustering parameter. A database of content associates different website links to different classifications of subject matter. The database of content, however, also associates each website link to one or more clustering parameters. When the database of content is queried for the subject matter, search results may be arranged into different clusters according to different clustering parameters.

  • Methods, Systems, and Products for Image Displays
    Publication number: 20160274290
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products illuminate display devices. An image is injected into a waveguide. The image propagates at total internal reflectance within the waveguide. A frustrator withdraws a frustrated image from the waveguide, and the frustrated image may be displayed to a viewer.

  • Historical Presentation of Search Results
    Publication number: 20160259830
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products historically arrange search results according to subject matter. A database of content associates different website links to different classifications of subject matter. The database of content, however, also associates each website link as an event in a timeline of events related to the subject matter. When the database of content is queried for the subject matter, search results are historically arranged.

  • Three dimensional building blocks
    Patent number: 9400569
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products describe physical structures for interactive computer displays. A tangible, three-dimensional structure has an interior and an exterior surface. A bundle of optical fibers propagates light through the interior to the exterior surface of the three-dimensional structure. A magnet in the three-dimensional structure produces an attractive force, and a marker on the exterior surface identifies the three-dimensional structure and the magnet.

  • Methods, systems, and products for monitoring health
    Patent number: 9333048
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and products monitor a person's regimen for medicinal and dietary restrictions. When the person's regimen requires a liquid medication or supplement, an oral instrument is commanded to dispense a dosage of fluid. The oral instrument stores a reservoir of the fluid. If the oral instrument is a spoon, for example, the spoon may automatically dispense cough syrup or other medicine. A toothbrush, likewise, may automatically dispense mouthwash. A sensor may confirm presence of the oral instrument in the person's mouth, thus ensuring the dosage of fluid is ingested.

  • Methods and apparatus for antenna tuning
    Patent number: 9236930
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for management of an antenna tuning frequency range. Frequency coverage needed for an antenna used in a portable communications device in a wireless communication network is determined based on communication protocols being used, with an active tuner being connected to a passively tuned antenna when a different frequency range is called for and with the active tuner being effectively isolated when only the range provided by the passively tuned antenna is needed to reduce the risk of RF mixing or intermodulation.
