  • Patent number: 8458034
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes determining a group identity for an audience associated with an event, accessing a plurality of announcements, identifying at least one announcement of the plurality of announcements based on the group identity, and providing the identified announcement to the audience at the event. The group identity is indicative of at least one characteristic of the audience. The plurality of announcements are processed to identify at least one announcement that approximately matches the group identity.

  • Publication number: 20130038444
    Abstract: A system comprising a power supply, an emergency warning light and a speaker, in combination with a control head. One or more processors controls operation of the system in response to received user input and provides system status for display. Storage media encoded with emergency warning light system instructions for execution by one or more of the processors controls the actuation of the emergency warning light system and controls light patterns generated by the emergency warning light system. The storage media is further encoded with siren system instructions for execution by one or more of the processors for controlling the actuation of the siren system and for controlling audible sounds generated by the siren system.

  • Patent number: 8375294
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a method for editing a web page includes identifying a plurality of components that collectively form a programmatic representation of a first web page. At least one of the components has content that dynamically changes in response to data retrieved externally from the content. A second web page is generated. The second web page includes a plurality of parameters. Each parameter of the second web page corresponds to a respective one of the identified plurality of components. One or more modifications made to the plurality of parameters are interpreted. A programmatic representation of a third web page is generated, the generation based at least in part on the interpretation.

  • Patent number: 8245383
    Abstract: A method of assembling a moisture separation system for a gas turbine power system is provided. The gas turbine power system includes a filter housing assembly and a weather hood coupled to the filter housing assembly, and the weather hood defines an inlet for directing airflow into the filter housing assembly. The method includes providing a moisture separator and coupling the moisture separator to the weather hood such that the moisture separator extends at least partially across the inlet, the moisture separator rotatable in response to the airflow to facilitate removing moisture from the airflow.

  • Publication number: 20120049748
    Abstract: A solar light bar includes a battery isolator adapted to be connected between a bus and a vehicle charging system for isolating a vehicle battery from the bus and for selectively connecting the bus to the charging system. A light source switch connects the light source and the bus for selectively electrically connecting the light source to the bus. When the light source switch is closed, the light source is energized by electricity from at least one of the solar panel, the charging system and the auxiliary battery. When the light source switch is open the light source is isolated from the bus. The auxiliary battery is adapted to be selectively charged by electricity from at least one of the solar panel and the charging system.

  • Publication number: 20110022964
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes recording a sequence of online activities of a first user. The online activities include online consumption of online content by the first user. The method includes constructing a path based on the sequence of online activities of the first user. The path includes a sequence of online activity points that each correspond to one of the online activities in the sequence of online activities of the first user, and the path enables a second user to experience personally for themselves at least an approximation of the sequence of online activities of the first user. The method includes communicating the path for traversal of a portion of the path by the second user.

  • Publication number: 20100252229
    Abstract: A geothermal energy system with reverse thermodynamic flow scheme that employs a pump or a compressor in series with a ground heat rejection or a ground heat absorber. The pumped geothermal energy system evaporates and condenses the working fluid at substantially the same pressure in the ground loop. The working fluid could be carbon dioxide, Freon, water or any other suitable refrigerant. The compressive geothermal system condenses the working from a vapor to a liquid above, below, and substantially equal to critical pressure using carbon dioxide as the working fluid.

  • Publication number: 20020107718
    Abstract: A vendor hosts a search interface and method for managing multiple networked vendors accepts a search query and performs a meta-search for matching content. The search results are indexed and displayed. When the consumer makes a preferred selection, the preference is tracked and the consumer is redirected to the URL for the selected content, regardless of whether the content is provide by the host vendor, thereby maintaining consumer loyalty despite their selection from a competing vendor. Specifically, the consumers search request is formatted into a specific format and posted to an array of search engines. The search results are parsed and information is extracted, indexed and displayed as a custom HTML formatted list, A sub-selection of information is identified for obtaining real-time market preferences.
