Patent number: 9247278Abstract: A content hosting system allows content providers to create channels of video content and make them available to users in a marketplace. Users can search or browse for channels of interest, and selectively subscribe to channels. Users can also pay for the right to view premium videos in each channel. The system ranks channels according to the value provided. Generally, users will seek out and subscribe to the highest ranked channels that provide the greatest value. The ranking function allows different providers to compete for the subscriptions of users. Providers can observe their channel's reception in the market by analyzing rankings and usage statistics to adjust channels to maximize channel performance. The system operator can also create bundled channels containing videos from multiple providers, and the resulting subscription revenue can be distributed to the various providers of the videos in the channel.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jim Patterson, Hunter Walk, Kuan Yong

Publication number: 20160012559Abstract: Implementations described herein include gathering through a website, data from posters/experts in particular careers through computing devices. The data is presented to a number of users looking at different careers and jobs. In one implementation, if information in a user's profile matches one or more attributes associated with a career, the career is recommended to the user. In another possible implementation, results of a third party personality test can be used to augment the user's profile. In yet another possible implementation, various webpages and/or services can be examined for user activity, and this activity can be used to augment or further quantify the user's profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2014Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventors: Jim PATTERSON, Jack PATTERSON, Gan Chia HUEY, Julian Thierry Claude Lucien GRIMAULT, Emmanuel RIVERA

Patent number: 8878072Abstract: A method for forming a frame attachment interconnect between a substrate and a frame is disclosed. The method can include applying a composite material (e.g., epoxy-glass prepreg) to a surface of a substrate. The composite material can have one or more holes disposed to substantially align with a corresponding pad on the surface of the substrate. A metal disc is placed in each hole of the composite material on top of the corresponding pad. A frame member can be placed on top of the composite material and the metal discs. The frame member can have one or more pads disposed to substantially align with the metal discs. The substrate, composite material, metal discs and frame combination can be cured in a controlled atmosphere that can include a vacuum and a predetermined temperature to create discrete electrical connections between adjacent pads but with each encapsulated and electrically isolated.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Stephen Gonya, Jim Patterson, Kenn Twigg
