Patent number: 10813072Abstract: Method, systems, and computer-readable media for receiving, from an application instance operating on a client device, information that indicates a client device identifier, a wireless proximity beacon identifier, and a proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon. From the received information, a determination is made whether the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies a threshold proximity. Based at least on the determination, an action is determined that the application instance operating on the identified client device is permitted to perform while the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies the threshold proximity. Information is transmitted to the identified client device that enables the application instance operating on the identified client device to perform the action.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: MicroStrategy IncorporatedInventors: Benjamin Reyes, Hugh Owen, Jose Nocedal de la Garza

Patent number: 10264394Abstract: In some implementations, data specifying (i) identification information, (ii) a beacon identifier associated with a wireless proximity beacon, and (iii) a proximity of a client device to the wireless proximity beacon is received. A path of movement is determined based on the received data. Data specifying a pattern of movement that is associated with an action is accessed. The path of movement of the client device is determined to satisfy a particular pattern of movement associated with a particular action. An application instance operating on the client device is authorized to perform the particular action based at least on determining that the path of movement of the client device satisfies the particular pattern of movement associated with the particular action. Data enabling the application instance operating on the client device to perform the particular action is transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: MicroStrategy IncorporatedInventors: Benjamin Reyes, Hugh Owen, Jose Nocedal de la Garza

Patent number: 10171935Abstract: Method, systems, and computer-readable media for receiving, from an application instance operating on a client device, healthcare information that indicates a client device identifier, a wireless proximity beacon identifier, and a proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon. From the received healthcare information, a determination is made whether the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies a threshold proximity. Based at least on the determination, an action is determined that the application instance operating on the identified client device is permitted to perform while the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies the threshold proximity. Healthcare information is transmitted to the identified client device that enables the application instance operating on the identified client device to perform the action.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: MicroStrategy IncorporatedInventors: Benjamin Reyes, Hugh Owen, Jose Nocedal de la Garza

Publication number: 20020066801Abstract: The present invention provides a fluid atomizing device 1 suitable for use in a fluid dispersing system. The atomizing device 1 comprises a turbine rotor 6 having a plurality of blade portions 22, and at least two nozzles for directing a fluid supplied to the nozzles, onto the turbine rotor in at least two fluid jets 24. The nozzles 14 are formed and arranged so that each fluid jet 24 impinges substantially fully upon one or more of the blade portions 22 of the rotor 6 so that the rotor is rotated under the force of the impinging water, thereby causing the blade portions 22 of the rotor 6 to intercept the fluid jets 24.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2001Publication date: June 6, 2002Inventors: Edward Hugh Owens, George Henry Smith, Mark Thomas Leonard
