Abstract: A location-based messaging system and its methods of operation are disclosed, including methods for processing and distributing location-based data. Methods for sending geographic location information for a target address from a computing device to a receiving device that will enable the receiving device to display a map and/or directions from a geographic location of the receiving device to the geographic location of the target address, methods for receiving and responding to location-based data, and methods for virally distributing location-based applications are also disclosed.

Abstract: An interference signal S(t) is provided from interference between two beams directed along different paths. The signal S(t) is indicative of changes in an optical path difference n{tilde over (L)}(t) between the different paths, where n is an average refractive index along the different paths, {tilde over (L)}(t) is a total physical path difference between the different paths, and t is time. An error signal is provided to reduce errors in an estimate of {tilde over (L)}(t). The error signal is derived at least in part based on one or more collective properties of a distribution of multi-dimensional values. At least one of the multi-dimensional values in the distribution is generated from a plurality of samples of the signal S(t) (e.g., samples of the signal captured at different times).

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-layered textile isolating material, such as isolating tissue or isolating woven material. The aim of the invention is to improve said isolating material, in particular with regard to thermal applications, whereby particles of latent heat storage material are arranged between the layers and said latent heat storage material is paraffin with an added thickener such as Kraton G.
