Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel tools and systems that provide methods to monitor and police platforms for interfacing designed to facilitate the exchange of communications between two or more users. In particular, the present invention provides anonymous and secure methods to capture, monitor, and score users of an interfacing platform, such as a dating platform, based on inappropriate and indecent behavior on the interfacing platform.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing advertising information on a second user viewing device relating to a media program viewed on a first user viewing device. Upon determining that the media program is being presented via the first user viewing device, an ad programming signal is transmitted to the second user viewing device so as to present on the second user viewing device at least one first advertisement relating to content of the media program.

Abstract: A system and method for interacting with multiple information forms across multiple types of computing devices and platforms is provided. A computer-readable storage media for interacting with multiple information forms across computing devices is also provided and includes computer-readable instructions to cause one or more computer processors to execute operations including authenticating a user; establishing a channel grid framework for the user on a first platform, the channel grid framework providing access to a first computer application displayed on a display device as a channel; deploying the channel from the channel grid framework on the first platform to a second platform in response to a user selecting the channel from the channel grid framework on the first platform and performing a copy operation of the channel to the second platform; and establishing a run time application of the first computer application on the second platform.

Abstract: A vehicle body includes a center pillar structure including an outer reinforcement having an outer wall and two side walls defining a channel. Two reinforcements are located within the channel, each rigidly interconnecting the outer wall with a respective one of the sidewalls. A tension panel preferably interconnects the two sidewalls. The center pillar structure is characterized by continuity of strength along its height and increased resistance to vertical compressive loads.
