  • Patent number: 10043200
    Abstract: A system and process provides consumers with product or services virtual recommendations from a list of contacts. In response to the consumer searching for or browsing a product or service, the system searches through stored contacts that have also interacted with the searched/browsed product or service. A virtual recommendation may be provided to the consumer based on the contacts' interaction with the product or service. In some embodiments, the virtual recommendation is displayed as a list of the contacts that had a previous consumer interaction with the product or service.

  • Publication number: 20180089726
    Abstract: A system and process provides online service providers with a platform to list services. The platform provides standardized templates for various business categories and service segments associated within each category. The electronic templates allow providers to conveniently enable/disable service offerings and input price, service tiers, and optional upgrades by toggling settings. The listing data is then received by the host and available to be listed through an online marketplace which may be presented to mobile application users. A search query by a consumer returns service listings that can be compared one to one by price a service offered.

  • Patent number: 9633125
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program are provided for enabling a user to synchronize, manage, and share files and folders across a plurality of client devices and a synchronization server. In a user interface, a first view displays all folders, which a user has synchronized to the synchronization server and a drop-target zone to which the user is able to drag a folder from the local device to synchronize the folder with the synchronization server. A second view displays all files and folders, which the user has shared with other users. A third view displays a list of user contacts, where each contact is a drop-target zone on which a user is able to drag a folder to share the folder with the contact. A fourth view is provided in which a user is able to see activity related to a folder displayed in the first view.

  • Patent number: 9289744
    Abstract: Irradiating assemblies can have a housing with a reflector extending linearly parallel to a lamp. Radiation can be emitted from one opening, for example in a bottom portion of the housing, as well as from another opening, for example a side opening in the housing. Irradiating assemblies can also have first and second reflector portions at angles with respect to each other wherein radiation is reflected out of a housing that does not have an end reflector. Irradiating assemblies can be configured to have cooling flow openings in side walls so that cooling fluid such as air can flow between the side walls and adjacent surfaces of a reflector. Irradiating assemblies can incorporate lamps having first and second electrodes wherein the first and second electrodes are oriented at an angle with respect to each other.

  • Publication number: 20110200667
    Abstract: The technology is a veterinary pharmaceutical formulation of two vaccines, one from an RNA viral vector system constituted by an RNA recombinant particle that codifies for a Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase protein of Brucella abortus, and the other based on naked RNA constituted by a recombinant molecule of naked RNA that carries a sequence for the synthesis of at least one recombinant Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase protein of Brucella abortus and some Semliki Forest virus genes. An expression system based on the Semliki Forest virus and a use of this system, in addition to a method for the preparation of the pharmaceutical formulations.

  • Patent number: 7933808
    Abstract: A system and method of facilitating a rental transaction of a tangible item is provided. Initially, a lessee pickup code is communicated from a borrowing party to an owning party upon exchanging the tangible item between the owning party and the borrowing party. The owning party subsequently transmits the lessee pickup code to a central controller. A rental period for the exchanged tangible item begins upon verifying, by the central controller, that the lessee pickup code sent by the owning party is the lessee pickup code originally provided to the borrowing party. When the tangible item is returned to the owning party, the owning party communicates a return code to the borrowing party. The return code is transmitted by the borrowing party to the central controller. The central controller verifies that the return code is the return code originally provided to the owning party.

  • Publication number: 20060285107
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that is using a high energy point like source illuminator comprising an ultraviolet source, where the source is being energized by a variable power supply that is controlled by a UV sensor and microprocessor. The energy from the illuminator is focused in the proximal end of a fiber optic light guide, a feed back branch coupling reflected light to the UV sensor. The light travels inside the guide and exits through its distal end first exposing a standard substrate. The standard substrate and a working substrate are positioned adjacent to each other and the UV light is first directed toward the standard substrate, the reflected light being incident on the sensor. The sensor output signal is then coupled to the microprocessor, which adjusts the power delivered to the bulb to correspond to the value established for the standard substrate, the microprocessor determining the needed exposure time to affect the cure.
