  • Patent number: 9998552
    Abstract: On various networked mediums such as web pages, blogs and social networking pages, a user presence can be enhanced by automatically creating a medium. An application on a personal computing device of the user can execute to query local and remote user data, such as webpage ads a user has clicked on, internet surfing history, emails, calendar events, etc. The application processes query responses to determine the current interests of a user to suggest a topic of the medium to the user. The application then creates a medium with a topic and populates the medium with content generated from the query responses such as webpage links, photos, etc. Automatic and configurable updates of the medium can also be performed by processing the local and/or remote user data. Notifications to acquaintances about the medium and updates can also be automated.

  • Publication number: 20170342866
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a valvetrain that includes a rocker arm assembly on which is mounted an electronic device and at least a part of a generator. The generator converts some of the mechanical energy that is transmitted through the rocker arm assemblies into electricity. That electricity may be used to power an electric latch, a transmitter, or another type of rocker arm assembly-mounted electrical device. Various generator configurations are described. In some configurations, the generator is piezoelectric. In other configurations, the generator is electromagnetic. In some configurations, the generator is driven by force transmitted by the rocker arm assembly from a cam. In some configurations, the generator is driven by vibrations.
