Publication number: 20150202109Abstract: A system for penis enlargement that uses stackable weights inside enclosed plastic cylinder that slides into the device and contains the entire penis shaft of the user. The custom stackable weights create sufficient weight to collapse the neck of the device around the base of the penis, and achieved by securely connecting the flange of the device behind a custom waist strap with multiple adjustment straps to keep the device tightly pressed against user's body in groin region. This creates the oppositional forces required to facilitate the process of stretching of the inner ligaments and inner penis tissues while keeping the entire penis shaft contact and clamps free.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2014Publication date: July 23, 2015Inventors: Victor Levin, Daniel Marc Levin

Patent number: 9032321Abstract: A computing device is described that, while presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a first application, transitions from a first operational state to a second operational state. While in the second operational state, the computing device stops presenting the GUI associated with the first application, determines a context of the computing device, and receives a notification associated with a second application. The computing device determines, based on the context and the notification, a degree of likelihood that a user associated would access the second application, prior to the first application, after the computing device has transitioned from operating in the second operational state to operating in the first operational state. After transitioning from the second operational state to the first operational state, and responsive to determining that the degree of likelihood satisfies a likelihood threshold, the computing device presents a GUI associated with the second application.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Gabriel Aaron Cohen, Daniel Marc Gatan Shiplacoff

Patent number: 9015185Abstract: A search technology generates recommendations with minimal user data and participation, and provides better interpretation of user data, such as popularity, thus obtaining breadth and quality in recommendations. It is sensitive to the semantic content of natural language terms and lets users briefly describe the intended recipient (i.e., interests, eccentricities, previously successful gifts). Based on that input, the recommendation software system and method determines the meaning of the entered terms and creatively discover connections to gift recommendations from the vast array of possibilities. The user may then make a selection from these recommendations. The search/recommendation engine allows the user to find gifts through connections that are not limited to previously available information on the Internet. Thus, interests can be connected to buying behavior by relating terms to respective items.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Piksel, Inc.Inventors: Issar Amit Kanigsberg, Daniel Marc Veidlinger, Myer Joshua Mozersky

Publication number: 20140282233Abstract: A computing device (CD) outputs a graphical user interface (GUI) for display at a display device (DD). The GUI includes a grouping of elements that includes an expandable element (EE) having a first size. While the DD displays a first or a last element of the grouping, the CD receives an indication of a gesture including a linear movement of an input point away from the first or last element, e.g., in a direction in which the EE is expandable, and outputs a modified GUI that includes the EE having a second size. Alternatively, the GUI includes multiple EEs having respective sizes. The CD receives an indication of a gesture including a linear movement of multiple input points across the DD, and, while the input points are located within a region of the DD that displays an EE, outputs a modified GUI that includes the EE having a different size.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Daniel Robert Sandler, Michael Andrew Cleron, Gabriel Aaron Cohen, Daniel Marc Gatan Shiplacoff, Christopher Richard Wren, Lee Brandon Keely
