  • Publication number: 20130097765
    Abstract: Moisture diverters attachable to a region above the eye and below the eyebrow that prevents sweat, liquid, moisture, or the like from entering the eyes of a wearer is described. A moisture diverter may include a substrate having an inner surface facing the wearer and an outer surface facing away from the wearer. The inner surface and upper surfaces include a lower section and an upper section, the lower section of the inner surface having an attachment structure for releasably attaching the diverting apparatus to a wearer in a region above the eye and below the eyebrow of the wearer, the upper section shaped or shapeable to abut or protrude from the eyebrow region of the wearer to divert sweat, liquid, moisture, or the like away from the eye.

  • Publication number: 20120131609
    Abstract: A method of selecting targeted advertising content. According to one implementation the method includes receiving in a social network site from a computing device of a member of the social network site identifying data of the member and also broadcast data related to broadcast content being played in the computing device. Upon accessing in the social network site member information, the social network site by use of the broadcast data and member information selects targeted advertising content for the purpose of facilitating a transmission of the targeted advertising content to the computing device for it to be played in conjunction with the broadcast content. In one implementation the method further involves the social network site accessing and sending the targeted advertising content to the computing device.
