Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a computerized system and method for tracking and displaying data identifying the geographic relevance of website listings on Internet search engines, parked web pages, ISP redirect web pages, and other similar web listing services without requiring extra input from Internet users. Each time an Internet user clicks on a website link provided on one of these web services, the software of the present invention tracks that person's decision in selecting the link, along with his or her geographic location. The software automatically collects and stores this information in a database in a format that can be quickly accessed and used in the future when other Internet users perform the same keyword search or visit the parked/redirect page again.

Abstract: The present application for patent provides a belt clutch having a drum with a drum-side friction surface, an open ended belt with a belt-side friction surface, and an externally controlled actuator on one end of the belt. The belt is configured to be coupled to a source of torque on the other end of the belt. The belt-side and drum-side friction surfaces engage frictionally when in use, such that the effective coefficient of friction between the drum-side friction surface and the belt-side friction surface varies across the width or length of the belt.

Abstract: Described are multilayered materials for forming three dimensional objects. The multilayered materials include at least three nonwoven fiber layers with unidirectionally oriented fibers and a matrix material. The multilayered materials have elastic properties that allow the multilayered material to deform by stretching the multilayered material over a three dimensional mold to form a three dimensional object.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for delivering an offer to a mobile device associated with a potential customer. During operation, the system receives data indicating that a potential customer is at or entering a targeted area or is on a vehicle associated with one or more businesses providing offers. The system then determines, with the received data, whether the potential customer has a moment of receptivity, wherein the moment of receptivity is a period of time during which the potential customer is likely to be receptive to receiving an offer. Responsive to determining that the potential customer has a moment of receptivity for receiving an offer, the system selects an offer from one or more available offers, and sends the selected offer to the potential customer.
