Publication number: 20160065722Abstract: Embodiments are provided for distinguishing certain transportation modes for an electronic device based on connection signal data. According to certain aspects, the electronic device may determine (458) that it is being transported by a vehicle. The electronic device searches or detects (460) nearby WLAN and/or WPAN signals and identifies (464), based on the detected signals, how many devices are nearby the electronic device. The electronic device compares (468) the number of nearby devices to a threshold amount and, based on the comparison, either initiates (472) a public transportation mode or initiates (470) a driving mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2014Publication date: March 3, 2016Inventors: Mark A. Rose, Simon Azriel, Eva Bills Lacivita, Akila Varadarajan

Publication number: 20160036574Abstract: A system and method for wirelessly communicating into a shielded area are described. In one particular example, a bi-directional amplifier that allows two-way communication into a tunnel is mounted at a tunnel portal and thereby allows RF signals to be exchanged therefrom using a single switched pathway. Ultrafast switching of the amplifier circuit is enabled by a pilot activation signal that serves to remotely switch the operational state of the amplifier from a default first operating mode when no pilot signal is detected to a second operating mode upon detection of the pilot signal, whereby the system is configured for simplex and semi-duplex communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2015Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventor: Mark Rose

Publication number: 20140316893Abstract: The usefulness, and consequently the performance, of advertisements are improved by allowing businesses to better target their ads to a responsive audience. Location information is determined (or simply accepted) and used. For example, location information may be used in a relevancy determination of an ad. As another example, location information may be used in an attribute (e.g., position) arbitration. Such location information may be associated with price information, such as a maximum price bid. Such location information may be associated with ad performance information. Ad performance information may be tracked on the basis of location information. The content of an ad creative, and/or of a landing page may be selected and/or modified using location information. Tools, such as user interfaces, may be provided to allow a business to enter and/or modify location information. The location information used to target and/or score ads may be, include, or define an area.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Inventors: Leslie YEH, Sridhar RAMASWAMY, Zhe QIAN, Mark ROSE

Publication number: 20140261199Abstract: Devices and systems for limiting feed volume dispensed into a plurality of tandem feed boot unloaders into one or more feed paths and related methods are disclosed. A core system is provided that are disposed in the feed path through each of the tandem feed boot unloaders in a center portion of an auger supported by a bearing assembly. Feed housings are configured to direct feed into the boot unloaders and into the auger. The feed is moved by the auger as a result of rotation of the auger about the bearing assembly. The core system provided herein limits and regulates the amount of feed that can enter each boot unloader by occupying space within a center portion of the auger that passes through each boot unloader, thus making it less likely that the auger will become clogged and be constrained from moving feed in the feed path.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Hog Slat, Inc.Inventors: Joe Mark Rose, Tyler Clay Marion

Patent number: 8412575Abstract: Offers, such as bids in an advertising network, may be determined and/or managed by accepting an ad budget and at least one ad serving constraint, and then generating offer information using the ad budget and the serving constraint(s). The offer may be generated by obtaining, for each of the ad serving constraint(s), a plurality of points, wherein each point includes a cost per event value and an event quantity value. These points collectively define a landscape. A convex landscape for each of the ad serving constraint(s) is then determined from the landscape(s). One or more points from at least one of the convex landscapes is then used to generate the offer information.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Wilburt Labio, Sridhar Ramaswamy, Mark Rose

Patent number: 8321179Abstract: A three dimensional radiation measurement scanning system includes a circular drive operable with horizontal and vertical drives for moving a radiation detector through first, second and third orthogonal axes in a three dimensional scanning of the detector in a water tank. Motor are coupled to the drives and activated by a controller for providing the movement of the radiation detector which providing radiation field sensing signals for locations of the detector throughout the tank. A reference detector is fixed for comparing its radiation field measurements with those of the scanned radiation detector. An offset mount carries the radiation detector allowing it to be extended beyond the circular ring gear during horizontal movement of the radiation detector and thus position the radiation detector at wall surfaces of the water tank.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Sun Nuclear CorporationInventors: William E.

Publication number: 20120209735Abstract: The FEDERATED THIRD-PARTY AUTHENTICATION APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“FPT”) transform user identity information inputs associated with transactions at a merchant server into a user-profile output that is transferred to other merchant websites for facilitating one or more other transactions without the requisite need for full user re-entry of information. In one embodiment, the method includes establishing a first trust indication associated with a first merchant and receiving first user-transaction-related information from a server of the first merchant. A first user-profile is generated for the user based on the first user-transaction-related information. A second trust indication associated with a second merchant is established.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2011Publication date: August 16, 2012Inventors: Peruvemba Subramanian, Mark Rose, Lex N.

Publication number: 20120123924Abstract: The VIRTUAL CURRENCY CONFIGURATION APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“VCC”) transform requests for on-demand and flexible monetization and related services via VCC components into currency transfers, purchase receipt notifications, social networking communications and transaction analytics reports. In some embodiments, the VCC obtains a request to convert a sale price provided in a real currency into a sale price in a virtual currency. The VCC accesses a database to obtain at least one virtual currency management rule provided by a merchant. The VCC identifies one among the at least one obtained virtual currency management rule to apply for converting the sale price provided in the real currency into the sale price in the virtual currency, and calculates the sale price in the virtual currency from the sale price provided in the real currency using the identified virtual currency management rule. The VCC provides the calculated sale price in the virtual currency in response to the request.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2011Publication date: May 17, 2012Inventors: Mark Rose, Rajiv Dutta, Lex N.
