Patent number: 8725889Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic message management system (EMS) that includes a real-time feedback loop where data is collected from the electronic messages on incoming connection attempts, outgoing delivery attempts, and message content analysis, and written to a centralized data matrix. A separate process accesses the data matrix and analyzes trends in that data. The detected data patterns, trends or behavior is based on configuration parameters for the recipient. Based on these determinations, the process is able to instruct components in the EMS to accept, redirect, refuse, modify, defer, or otherwise dispose of the connection request, the delivery attempt, or the message. Associated methods for managing the transmission of electronic messages are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2007Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Scott M. Petry, Shinya Akamine, Peter Kevin Lund, Fred Cox, Michael John Oswall

Patent number: 8583787Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting unwanted electronic message transmissions on a communications network. These include establishing a database for storing metadata associated with message traffic according to at least the source addresses of the senders of electronic message transmissions. The disclosed principles also include monitoring electronic message transmissions at the certain location on the electronic communications network. Also, included is populating the database with metadata derived from analysis of the monitored electronic messages, where the metadata includes metadata derived by analyzing the contents of the monitored electronic messages.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Scott M. Petry, Shinya Akamine, Peter K. Lund, Fred Cox, Michael J. Oswall

Publication number: 20100139573Abstract: The pet carrier includes a pair of lateral straps attached or attachable to lateral ends of the pet transport device to form loops adapted for extending the vehicle seat belt therethrough to secure the frame of the device to the vehicle seat. The strapping system also has a third strap having one end forming a loop on the exterior of the pet carrier or transport device, and an opposite end extending into the interior of the carrier, pet seat, or other transport device and terminating in a snap hook or the like for attachment to a pet collar. The vehicle seat belt also extends through the third strap's loop so that both the carrier and a pet tether are restrained by the vehicle's seatbelt.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2009Publication date: June 10, 2010Inventors: Randy R.
