  • Patent number: 10078703
    Abstract: Various embodiments relating to searching, identifying, and sharing music being played at entities is disclosed. In one embodiment, audio samples are received from a client computing system, and one or more songs are identified as corresponding to the audio samples. For one or more identified songs, song metadata is sent to the client computing system, and a geolocation of the client computing system is identified based on the location data. Further, a list of one or more candidate entities is sent to the client computing system, wherein the one or more candidate entities are located within a selected distance from the geolocation of the client computing system. A confirmation that the one or more songs are being played at an entity selected from the plurality of candidate entities is received from the client computing system, and the one or more songs are associated with the entity in a database.

  • Publication number: 20100307382
    Abstract: Computerized school desk for education and many other applications comprising a rigid structure to support a transparent tabletop (1) that has the functionality of a touch-operated screen under which is placed a computer flat panel display (3) attached to said screen, said apparatus being provided with a mechanism for tilting the tabletop from a position substantially horizontal and a position approximately vertical or any intermediate position. The referred mechanism consists of a pair of couplings that slide along two guides substantially horizontal and at least one connecting rod rotationally coupled to an intermediate point of the said tabletop between the front and rear borders of said tabletop and to other point fixed in the structure of the table, substantially coplanar with side guides.

  • Publication number: 20070289499
    Abstract: An improvement in high performance kaolin pigment, paper coating paint comprised of high performance kaolin pigment and a method for producing high performance kaolin pigment, wherein only coarse kaolin is used, said pigment exhibiting an ISO whiteness preferably higher than 88.5; a grain size distribution of at least 96% lower than 2 ?m and at most 15% lower than 0.2 ?m; a Hercules viscosity at 18 dines of at least 200 RPM in pulps with a concentration of solids of 70-71%, thus producing a coating paint that has an ISO whiteness higher than 88.5 and lower than 91.0; a grain size distribution of at least 96% lower than 2 ?m and at most 15% lower than 0.2 ?m and a Hercvules viscosity at 18 dines of at least 200 RPM in pulps with a solids concentration of 70-71%, said manufacturing process providing an overall recovery of 49%.

  • Publication number: 20070186817
    Abstract: “Production Process Improvement Resulting in a High Brightness and Low Viscosity Coarse Kaolin Clay For Use as a Coating”, where a raw material consisting of the coarse fraction of the coarse kaolin clay discarded in the high performance pigment production method is subject to: A) delamination of the coarse waste; followed by B) centrifuging of the delaminated kaolin clay; followed by C) magnetic separation and then by the stages of D) chemical bleaching E) filtering and F) drying, thereby producing a high brightness and low viscosity paper coating pigment.
