Abstract: A reusable, pneumatic paint grenade that includes a dashpot timing mechanism for sudden release of compressed air that ruptures a frangible housing to disperse a dyed liquid or airsoft pellets after the paint grenade is thrown. The dashpot further comprises a plunger located in a cylindrical body. A lever in contact with the plunger of the dashpot forces the plunger downward to puncture a cartridge of compressed air with a sharp structure disposed between the plunger and the cartridge. The compressed air is prevented from escaping while the sharp structure remains in the cartridge. Once the lever is released, the plunger is forced into substantially its original position by a biasing mechanism and the force exerted by the air pressure within the cartridge. The cylindrical body can be filled with a viscous liquid to further slow movement of the plunger.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for updating information for an identified location on a mobile device are provided. A broadcast advertising message is provided to a mobile device. The advertising message identifies a location and includes a dynamic field configured to provide updated information about the identified location. When the advertising message is activated by the mobile device, a current position of the mobile device is determined. The dynamic field of the advertising message is automatically populated based on the current position of the mobile device to provide updated information about the identified location.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for an infringer finder to search public information sources for possible patent infringers. Some embodiments provide for analyzing an issued patent, associated patent support data, such as Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) information, and other reference materials, along with user input to create a patent search profile. Using the patent search profile, a search is made of public information sources and a report is generated summarizing possible patent infringement targets.

Abstract: A turbocharger having a cleaning port communicating between an external surface of the turbocharger housing and an internal cavity which communicates with a component of a gas flow control mechanism.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for technology asset management. In an embodiment, the technology asset management system includes a web interface for technology asset management customers and a server back end database to store technology asset management information. The technology asset management system can also include one or more of a plurality of intercoupled technology asset management modules, wherein the technology asset management modules include one or more of an invention submission module, an innovation awards module, a portfolio management module, a patent strategy module, and an intellectual property licensing management module. The one or more technology asset management modules can be coupled to the web interface and the server back end database.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present is a method of using location information to transmit alerting information to a communications device. Such a method comprises receiving location information regarding a communications device; selecting alerting information based on the location of the communications device; and transmitting to the communications device information pertaining to the alerting information. Other methods and systems are also provided.

Abstract: A method of processing a received communication at a recipient communication device includes receiving the communication and determining if the communication is designated urgent. If the communication is urgent, at least one parameter of the recipient communication device is altered in response to urgent information accompanying the urgent communication. Receipt of the urgent communication is signaled at the recipient communication device.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present is a method of using location history to optimize communications with perspective customers. Such a method comprises analyzing a user's location history over a period of time; detecting an indication of user interest in sellable items based on at least the location history; and sending a message to the user about a sellable item that is determined to be of interest to the user. Other methods and systems are also provided.
