Publication number: 20200151242Abstract: Methods of generating websites using any combination of remotely and locally stored content are contemplated. Content is procured by a user on a client computer, and a request to add that content to a source folder is sent to a server. The server adds the content to the source folder, where it is made available for website creation. When a client requests creation of a website using the contents of a source folder, the server then generates that website. In some embodiments, the website can be generated according to a user-selected theme or a default theme.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2019Publication date: May 14, 2020Inventors: Alain J. Cohen, Marc A. Cohen, Alberto Morales, Carolyne LaSala, Yevgeny Gurevich, Konstantinos Papagiannopoulos, Herculano José de Paiva Lemos de Campos

Publication number: 20190354876Abstract: A computer-implemented content suggestion engine provides content suggestions to a requesting user based on information about content items that other users may have independently categorized or organized into folders within a content repository. Embodiments of the method comprise a content repository having a plurality of content items, where each content item is associated with one or more user-created folders. Embodiments further comprise receiving, via a network, a suggestion request for suggested content, where the suggestion request identifies a first content item for which suggestions are sought. Other content items in the content repository are then identified as potential suggestions based on the application of a formal relationship between the first content item and the potential suggested content items. One or more of the potential suggested content items may then be provided in response to the suggestion request via the network.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2019Publication date: November 21, 2019Inventors: Alain J. Cohen, Marc A. Cohen, Ryan McKeown, Stefan Znam, Alberto Morales

Publication number: 20190310976Abstract: When a user conducts a search for content using one or more of the many search engines known in the art, embodiments of the present invention may receive results returned to the user's browser by the search engine, and may then proceed to filter, organize, modify, or enhance those results and/or their presentation by performing various editing and/or presentation operations on the search results, based on information relating to the user's prior interactions with the search results and the user's interests and preferences. Search results may also be modulated based on information about the way other users have responded to or interacted with each of the search results in the past.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2019Publication date: October 10, 2019Inventors: Alain J.

Patent number: 10423682Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention provide a novel way of searching and interacting with content available via a network, such as the Internet, and the World Wide Web. In some embodiments, systems and methods provide a semantically-oriented structure for organizing and accessing content items. The semantic organization can be derived by leveraging user interactions with the content items. The systems and methods leverage the semantics of the content items and to help the user find content items that are consistent with the purpose of the user's search. In addition, the embodiments provide a novel navigation paradigm of search results and content items so that the user can more intuitively and more efficiently get information form an information space.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Bublup, Inc.Inventors: Alain J.

Publication number: 20190134483Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, systems, and methods for implementing drills and providing coaching instructions to users. Embodiments may load a drill, measure values obtained from one or more sensors installed on a player's tennis racket and/or worn on the player's body, and use those values to detect various parameters, such as the physical impact of a ball at the player's racket. Embodiments may then output a coaching instruction to the user. Embodiments may also include adding customized coaching instructions to a drill.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2018Publication date: May 9, 2019Inventors: Marc A Cohen, Alain J. Cohen

Patent number: 10075509Abstract: A first capture system that captures network communication events related to an application, and a second capture system that captures internal processing events related to the application. A visualization system analyzes the data captured by each of the capture systems, synchronizes and correlates the data, and presents an integrated display of these communication and processing events. In a preferred embodiment, the communicated messages include an identifier of the application, and the processing components also associate an identifier of the application to each recorded processing event. To facilitate the integrated display of the events, the visualization system synchronizes the recorded communication and processing events to a common time base.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Riverbed Technology, Inc.Inventors: Steven Baron, Patrick J. Malloy, Alain J. Cohen, Marc I. Schneider, Cheryl Stocks

Publication number: 20180207507Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, systems, and methods for measuring values obtained from one or more sensors installed on a player's tennis racket and/or worn on the player's body, and using those values to calculate various parameters, such as the physical position and motion of the tennis racket. Embodiments may translate the parameters and derive one or more occurrences corresponding to phases of a tennis point or drill and then generate real-time audible, visual, and/or haptic coaching prompts and other related commands and signals, for the purpose of improving a player's motor skills. Embodiments may also send and receive messages to/from other embodiments, thereby permitting a player to interact with other players, coaches, or devices, such as ball machines and cameras.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Marc A. Cohen, Alain J. Cohen

Patent number: 10003509Abstract: To evaluate a network's performance in processing communications related to a target transaction, a set of “reference” communications corresponding to the target transaction are compared to a larger set of communications in the network in a “production” environment, to identify the occurrence of the target transaction in the production environment. Preferably, the reference communications are recorded in a laboratory environment that models the production environment, or recorded from the production environment during a period of minimal other activities. A variety of filters are used to eliminate communications in the production environment that are apparently unrelated to the target transaction, including filters based on the time-order of communications among the nodes, the size of the packets being communicated, and the content of the communications.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2005Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: RIVERBED TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Patrick J.

Publication number: 20160171567Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for facilitating user entry and review of text-based rating descriptions about products, services, and business practices associated with Internet web pages. Embodiments of the invention comprise a rating module that interfaces with a web browser to receive feedback from a user regarding a web page that is currently being displayed by the web browser. The rating module may store the user feedback on a server. When another user visits the web page at a later time, the rating module can retrieve and display information that incorporates the feedback. In other embodiments, the feedback may be in the form of a rating. A rating may be a textual declaration from a user pertaining to anything associated with a web page. For example, a user may input a declaration concerning an aspect of a web page itself, or an item, entity, or service associated with the web page.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2015Publication date: June 16, 2016Applicant: bublup technologies, inc.Inventors: Alain J.
