  • Patent number: 11711436
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein can relate to a web browser-based application programming interface (API) that can control the authorization of data transmissions within a networked environment. The system enables content items displayed in a web page to make a call to the browser to request that the browser register the content item with the browser. The web browser can control the network transmissions to content items approved or authorized by the web browser. The system can reduce the number of transmissions that do not result in content for the client device—saving bandwidth and computational resources for the client device.

  • Publication number: 20220391947
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for content quasi-personalization or anonymized content retrieval via aggregated browsing history of a large plurality of devices, such as millions or billions of devices. A sparse matrix may be constructed from the aggregated browsing history, and dimensionally reduced, reducing entropy and providing anonymity for individual devices. Relevant content may be selected via quasi-personalized clusters representing similar browsing histories, without exposing individual device details to content providers.

  • Patent number: 8209794
    Abstract: An automatic pool level controller that maintains a water level water in a swimming pool to protect the pool both from a low water level and from overflow conditions that disable pool equipment from operating. The controller monitors water level with a plurality of adjustable conducting sensors that connect to a plurality of relays that control a plurality of switches and a solenoid valve to automatically add water to the pool when the water level falls below the desired level, and halt addition of water when the desired level is achieved, automatically turning on a pump to expel water to reduce the water level, and automatically turning a pump off to halt the discharge of water when the water is reduced to the desired level, maintaining the water level sufficient for operating pool equipment. The controller has an immersible sensor board, a submersible pump and runs on household current.

  • Publication number: 20070110552
    Abstract: An apparatus for loading the main landing gear (“MLG”) of a large aircraft includes a support frame having symmetrical side portions disposed on opposite sides of a sagittal plane of the MLG. A pair of opposing slide mechanisms are coupled to opposite sides of the MLG and supported on a corresponding side of the support frame for translation of the MLG in the sagittal plane. Two pairs of laterally opposing vertical jacks are mounted on opposite sides of the support frame, and respective opposite ends of the slide mechanisms are rotatably coupled to corresponding output ends of the jacks, such that raising or lowering the output ends of the jacks in one opposing pair relative to the output ends of the other pair results in rotation of the MLG in the sagittal plane. A drive mechanism on the support frame enables translation and rotation of the MLG in a horizontal plane.

  • Publication number: 20070028935
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to a screening method for identifying compositions suitable for use in an oral composition (e.g., a confection or chewing gum product) effective for the treatment of oral cavity malodor associated with smoking a tobacco product. In particular, this invention relates to a screening method for determining the ability of a composition to reduce the concentration of a pyridine or pyrazine compound present in a model sample or solution which is representative of the oral cavity of a subject after smoking a tobacco product, as an indicator of the effectiveness of that composition in the treatment of oral malodor associated with smoking a tobacco product.

  • Publication number: 20070031350
    Abstract: This invention generally relates to a screening method for identifying compositions suitable for use in an oral composition (e.g., a confection or chewing gum product) effective for the treatment of oral cavity malodor associated with the consumption of garlic. In particular, this invention relates to a screening method for determining the ability of a composition to reduce the concentration of a sulfide or disulfide compound (e.g., diallyl disulfide) present in a model sample or solution which is representative of the oral cavity of a subject after consuming garlic, as an indicator of the effectiveness of that composition in the treatment of oral cavity malodor associated with the consumption of garlic.

  • Publication number: 20060252830
    Abstract: A method for the treatment of depleted intracellular and serum magnesium levels by administration of a highly bioavailable magnesium salt is disclosed. A prescription dispensing system is also disclosed. The highly bioavailable magnesium salt can be administered alone or as adjunctive therapy in conjunction with various medications that cause or exacerbate depleted intracellular magnesium levels, such as renal magnesium wasting medications, including diuretics, immunosuppressants, chemotherapeutic agents, and antibiotics. The highly bioavailable magnesium salt can also be used as adjunctive therapy in conjunction with Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs to attenuate the QTc interval and reduce the risk of fatal arrhythmias, which are a common risk associated with Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs.

  • Publication number: 20060007411
    Abstract: A system for supporting a projector on a support structure relative to a projection surface includes a plurality of base members connectable with the support structure and having a position adjustable relative to the projection surface. The system also includes a base member calibration system for calibrating the base members to a predetermined position relative to the projection surface. The system also includes a plurality of foot members for supporting the projector. Each foot member has a position adjustable relative to the projector. The system further includes a projector calibration system for calibrating the projector to a predetermined position relative to the foot members. The projector calibrated to the predetermined position relative to the foot members is calibrated to the predetermined position relative to the projection surface when the foot members rest on the base members.

  • Patent number: 5813364
    Abstract: An automatic pet door, enclosed within a housing, having a pet door located in between two sensors. The two sensors are positioned on arms that extending perpendicular to the housing. An infrared beam extends between the two sensors. When the beam is interrupted, a signal is sent to a motor located on top of the pet door. The motor is in constant connection with a power supply. A rack and pinion device works in conjunction with the motor. When a pet walks in between the two arms and the beam is broken, the motor causes the rack and pinion device to engage with teeth found on the top portion of the pet door, thus causing the door to open. Once the pet walks through the open door and the beam is once again continuous, the door closes.
