  • Patent number: 9613008
    Abstract: A web-based system scans content for specific terms, and transforms occurrences of the terms into hypertext links. Each hypertext link provides access to a dynamically generated web page which contains aggregated content related to the respective term. The aggregated content may be gathered through a distributed keyword search of various content sources, including web sites and other sources on a wide area network. The results of the keyword search are aggregated into a single page or document, preferably with filtering to remove page elements not well suited for display on a mobile device. Occurrences of specific terms on this dynamically generated page may similarly be transformed into links, such that the user can browse content from various sources within a confined environment.

  • Publication number: 20140337123
    Abstract: A method is provided for ascertaining the proximity of a mobile technology platform to a location. The method includes comparing the percent overlap of a first geofence associated with the mobile technology platform with a second geofence associated with the location; if the percent overlap is greater than a predetermined threshold value T1, wherein T1<100%, then marking the mobile technology platform as having entered the second geofence, and otherwise marking the mobile technology platform as not having entered the second geofence.

  • Patent number: 7698245
    Abstract: A system and method for validating data for a machine arrangement includes a controller, such as a programmable logic controller, connected to a processor, which is configured to execute an algorithm using the data collected by the controller. The algorithm includes one or more rules that are applicable to the collected data. Each rule is applied to the data to determine if any of the data entries violate one or more of the rules. An output is generated indicating whether the data violates any of the rules, thereby providing information regarding the validity of the data being captured.

  • Patent number: 7433801
    Abstract: Textual fault messages in PLC-based manufacturing systems are supplemented by automatically displayed sets of information that allow an operator to quickly identify, recognize and visualize components responsible for producing faults. Visual display of stored computer generated images showing system components and tooling allow the operator to visually pinpoint the exact component responsible for the fault, and its location within the manufacturing system. Stored information associated with the component producing the fault, such as installation date, vendor sources, replacement part inventory, programming logic and editing software, is also automatically recalled and displayed along with the fault message to aid fault diagnosis and correction.

  • Publication number: 20080160956
    Abstract: A method and system for delivering and displaying content on a mobile handheld device with voice telephony capability. Content is received from or on behalf of a content provider. For each individual one of a plurality of mobile handheld devices, content appropriate for each device is determined. The content determined to be appropriate for each mobile handheld device is delivered individually to that mobile handheld device. It is then determined whether the mobile handheld device is in an internal and/or external predetermined status, wherein the internal predetermined status is a function of the mobile handheld device unrelated to the content. If the mobile handheld device is in the internal and/or external predetermined status, the content is displayed as a foreground to a top-level user interface of the mobile handheld device.

  • Patent number: 5916551
    Abstract: A method of processing big game scent, such as deer lures, comprising the steps of filtering a mixture of urine and feces through a series of successively finer filters in order to remove contaminants and pathogenic bacteria from the scent without destroying or denaturing the aromatic attractants. In a second embodiment, the mixture is heated to a temperature to destroy pathogens. A third embodiment is a combination of filtering followed by heating.
