  • Patent number: 11640408
    Abstract: A user may submit a search query to a search engine, which may process the search query and generate a set of results. Previous actions of the user or of other users may be used to identify recommended search queries. The recommended search queries may be presented to the user along with the search results for the query. The location of the recommended search queries may be fixed, set by the user, or determined on a query-by-query basis. A user interface element operable to cause the presentation of one or more recommended search queries may be presented after a delay. After an additional or independent delay, the recommended search queries may be presented automatically. The delays may be fixed, set by the user, or determined on a query-by-query basis.

  • Publication number: 20220091704
    Abstract: A search engine determines a number of pages to present to a user based on one or more of a variety of factors. The search engine may send the search results to a client machine, which may present a subset of the results along with a pagination control in a scrollable interface. The pagination control may present the number of pages determined by the search engine. The search engine may also determine a number of search results to present prior to the presentation of non-scrollable user interface (UI) elements based on the same or different factors. After the amount of scrolling exceeds a threshold, a non-scrollable UI element may be displayed. Additional thresholds may exist, such that additional non-scrollable UI elements are added as the user continues to scroll.

  • Patent number: 11031131
    Abstract: A system for medicine dosage compliance may comprise a dispensing component that provides for medicine to be dispensed based at least upon authorized identification of a user and a secondary authorizer. The dispensing component may comprise an identity authentication component that automatically authenticates an identity of the user and the secondary authorizer at the time of a dispensing event. The system may further comprise a communication component providing one or more notifications to one or more third parties. The communication component may comprise a wireless personal area networking component that sets up a local networking connection between the dispensing component and a local device to share data between the dispensing component and a local device. The local device may communicatively be coupled to a remote network component. A notification component may generate notification information of the dispensing event for one or more third parties.

  • Patent number: 8954498
    Abstract: A system for enhancing group communication includes a computer server for receiving a first digital from a remote client. The server analyzes the first image to determine one or more first image attributes and communicates the image to one or more recipients. Communication information including image attributes, email addresses, and names of the recipients is stored. When a second image is received the server analyzes it to determine its attributes and forms second image communication information relevant to the second image. The second communication information includes data from the first image communication information, its image attributes, and one or more separate second image recipients.

  • Patent number: 8949318
    Abstract: A server analyzes a received digital image to determine and store one or more first image attributes. The image is transmitted to at least one recipient and pertinent information is recorded, including one or more image attributes and the one or more first image recipients. A second image is received and analyzed in a similar fashion as the first. Second image communication information is generated that is relevant to the second image based on a comparison with the first image communication information and the one or more first image attributes.

  • Patent number: 8882058
    Abstract: A quick-lock-and-quick-release system, using predetermined clamping and releasing methods to be assembled, disassembled, and adjusted for supporting and protecting a recreational-vehicle sewer hose, comprises a first semi-circular sequential-locking end joint, a second semi-circular sequential-locking end joint, semi-circular sequential-locking middle joints, quick-lock-and-quick-release stake-clamping jaw screws, quick-lock-and-quick-release jaw-squeezing chamber nuts, square-cross-section multi-purpose two-way stakes, and semi-circular sequential-locking pipes. The quick-lock-and-quick-release system eliminates permanent frictional forces between the multi-purpose two-way stakes and quick-lock-and-quick-release jaw-squeezing chamber nuts: a) To allow quick and easy assembly of the system, b) To allow quick and easy disassembly of the system, c) To allow the two-way stakes to be used right side up or upside down, and d) To eliminate personal injuries caused by the two-way stakes when they become rusted.
