  • Publication number: 20150379554
    Abstract: Provided is a of dynamically adjusting an online coupon, or other offer, redemption work flow presented to a consumer to mitigate effects from more limited user-interface constraints of mobile computing devices, the process including: obtaining a plurality of mobile-suitability values; receiving from a remote mobile computing device of a user, a request for offer content; ascertaining a selected merchant website at which the offer is redeemable; retrieving a selected mobile-suitability value for the selected merchant website; obtaining, from the mobile computing device, data indicative of user-interface constraints of the mobile computing device; determining to send instructions to present content on the mobile computing device, the determination being based on the user-interface constraints of the mobile computing device and the selected mobile-suitability value for the selected merchant website, and the content being suitable for the mobile computing device; and sending the instructions to present the conte

  • Patent number: 6439728
    Abstract: A retroreflector is provided with a substrate over which a moveable micromirror is formed. The moveable micromirror is adapted to be tilted into at least two distinct positions. A multimirror stack is also positioned on the substrate. The multimirror stack includes multiple fixed structures bonded together. Each of the fixed structures has a reflective surface, and the multimirror stack is configured with respect to the moveable micromirror to provide retroreflection paths. An optical ray incident at a predetermined angle with respect to the substrate is subjected to retroreflection for at least two distinct positions of the moveable micromirror. Each retroreflection includes a reflection off the moveable micromirror and a reflection off one of the fixed structures.
