Publication number: 20120150662Abstract: Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for centralized deployment of advertising code. Advertising code is stored for use by a web page, the advertising code comprising at least one of vendor advertising code or vendor reporting code. An application programming interface is provided for the web page to access the advertising code, the application programming interface allowing the advertising code to be updated such that updated advertising code is automatically provided to the web page without changing source code that the web page uses to accesses the advertising code. A request for advertising code is received from the web page using the application programming interface. The advertising code is determined to be a most recently updated version of advertising code stored by the computing device. A response to the request can be generated using the advertising code.

Publication number: 20120034990Abstract: A golf putter has a head and a shaft affixed to the head, the head having a front face for striking a ball and a rear face and is constructed and designed to assist the golfer in aligning the putter for propelling the ball to be putted in the desired direction. The head comprises a central section with a front face, the central section extending from proximate the head's front face towards the head's rear face and tapering rearward outwardly in width in plan, and a pair of side sections flanking sides of the central section, the side sections each having a front face adjacent the front face of the central section and being of a tapering configuration along the sides of the central section. The central sections and the side sections are oppositely transparent or opaque, allowing them to be visually distinguished from each other and providing visual cues for aligning the putter.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2011Publication date: February 9, 2012Inventors: Mark COHEN, Robert FARNAN

Publication number: 20120029222Abstract: Silica nanoparticles that have been subjected to surface treatment with novel silane compositions exhibit improved dispersion in polyester nanocomposites. The novel silane compositions are prepared by reacting a 3-isocyanatopropyl trialkoxysilane with an alcohol or diol having a divalent alkylene or alkylene-ether group, where the alcohol or diol has a formula weight less than about 5000. The surface treatment of the nanoparticles leads to improvements in mechanical properties and haze reduction in polyester nanocomposites containing them.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2010Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: E.

Publication number: 20110310115Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improved filtering and correcting of glyphs on a GPU. The computational intensity required for filtering and/or rendering can be reduced by pre-calculating some or all of the calculations needed for converting coverage data into corrected pixel values. Additional efficiencies may be realized in some embodiments by transferring data from a CPU to a GPU in an improved format. The improvements can be realized in a variety of graphics formats.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: MICOSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Blaise Pascal Fonkou Tine, Christopher Nathaniel Raubacher, Anthony John Rolls Hodsdon, Miles Mark Cohen

Patent number: 7853036Abstract: A method for use in a computer system is provided that links a patient with patient-related data that is displayed on a graphical user interface. The method includes first determining if a digital watermark is required. If a digital watermark is required, the current background color for the display of patient-related data is obtained, along with an intensity value. The subject matter for the watermark is also obtained. The color of the digital watermark is calculated, based upon the obtained background color and intensity value. The digital watermark is then rendered on the display.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Cemer Innovation, Inc.Inventors: Stuart Mark Cohen, Douglas Michael Saus, Carrie Jeanne Vanzant, Russell William Webb, Kevin John Winkel

Patent number: 7627334Abstract: A wireless information device provides a user with context relevant information. The precise location of the wireless device is monitored by a tracking system. Using the location of the wireless device and the identity of the user, context relevant information is transmitted to the device, where the context relevant information is pre-defined, at least in part, by the user. Context relevant information served to the device depends on the identity of the user, the location of the device, and the proximity of the device to persons or objects. The wireless information device may be used by healthcare workers, such as physicians, in hospitals, although other environments are contemplated, such as hotels, airports, zoos, theme parks, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2004Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Contextual Information, Inc.Inventors: Mark Cohen, Jane Cohen
