Abstract: A portable electronic device may be configured for play of a video game, with user controlled game characters operated based on inputs received on first user inputs of the device and a virtual game world modified based on information from motion-related sensors of the device. The modification of the virtual game world may be rotation and/or translation of the virtual game world in a gravitational reference frame. The portable electronic device may also allow for user configuration of the virtual game world.

Abstract: A method of controlling rats and the like by magnetically attaching a pest control device to a dumpster.

Abstract: An improved pest control device having a bottom, two side walls, two end walls with holes therethrough to permit an animal to enter, and a lid, with a bait holder inside the trap, which may optionally be raised off of the floor of the trap and magnets positioned near the top edge of at least two of the walls to secure the trap to a dumpster, thereby holding the lid in the closed position when the trap is secured to the dumpster to prevent access to the bait other than through the holes in the end walls.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for context based searching. A participating website may be provided with an interface which allows users to perform searches by indicating keywords to be searched. A search services provider performs a search based on the keywords as well as the context of the participating website. In a further development, the context of the participating website may be determined by deriving one or more context words from the text of the participating website. In a second aspect, a system and method are provided which allow a user to move results in a list of results provided in response to search request. These actions of the user are recorded and saved. The rankings of subsequent searches are based on these recorded actions.
