Patent number: 9324046Abstract: A method includes identifying a plurality of content hubs associated with an enterprise. Each content hub represents a type of content associated with an enterprise. The method also includes identifying primary nodes dependent on each content hub. The primary nodes represent subgroups of the content associated with the content hub. The method includes identifying secondary nodes associated with each primary node. The secondary nodes represent content items from the subgroups of content associated with the primary nodes. The method further includes arranging the content hubs in a visual representation of an enterprise ecosystem. The enterprise ecosystem displays a relationship between the content hubs. The method also includes displaying dependent nodes within a relationship context of the enterprise ecosystem based on user selection.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2012Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Gagan Puranik, Michael R. Flynn

Patent number: 9229727Abstract: A device is configured to receive information that identifies entity representations, receive first entity information associated with a first entity representation, and receive second entity information associated with a second entity representation. The device is configured to generate a first tag associated with the first entity representation, and generate a second tag associated with the second entity representation. The device is configured to receive user input information including information regarding user selections of entity representations, determine a relationship between the first tag and the second tag, and store an association between the first and second entity representations. The device is configured to detect an interaction associated with the first entity representation, and to provide the second entity representation based on the interaction and based on the association between the first and the second entity representations.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Michael R. Flynn, Gagan Puranik

Patent number: 8584174Abstract: Systems and methods according to preferred embodiments enable a subscriber to participate in fantasy league competitions with other subscribers of the service, and to view other broadcasts simultaneously with fantasy league data on one or more televisions. A service provider enables the creation of a fantasy league related to real activities. One or more teams are associated with the fantasy league and players are then assigned to each of the created teams. In one embodiment, the teams are configured via a television interface and a remote control. Fantasy league data is tracked for each team based on participation of the team's assigned players in the real activities. Television broadcasts are then displayed simultaneously with fantasy league data on the television, a service that is not possible or practical in conventional television systems.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2006Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignees: Verizon Services Corp., Verizon Laboratories Inc., Verizon Services Organization Inc.Inventors: Christina Lynn Fyock, Joel S.

Patent number: 5399878Abstract: Apparatus for receiving and reading a cassette of light-sensitive material, wherein the cassette is a) of varying width and b) free of a pallet used to fit a standard maximum width slot. To prevent light-leaks created when a cassette of a width less than the maximum is used, shutters equal to one less than the number of cassette widths to be used, are hinged to one of the upper and lower jaws used to clamp the cassette in the light-tight chamber of the reading apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1994Date of Patent: March 21, 1995Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventor: Michael R. Flynn

Patent number: 5315632Abstract: An apparatus for clamping a cassette containing a photosensitive element. The apparatus includes a frame and a stop bar movably mounted to the frame for movement between an operative position and a non operative position. The stop bar has a registration surface for registering the forward end of cassette. A first jaw member is secured to the frame and has a second registration surface for engagement with a first side of the cassette. A second movable jaw member is provided movable between a clamping position and a non clamping position. The second jaw member having a clamping surface for engaging a second side of the cassette opposite the first side of the cassette so as to clamp the cassette between the first and second jaw members when the second jaw member is in the clamping position. A mechanism is provided for moving the second jaw member between the clamping and non clamping positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1992Date of Patent: May 24, 1994Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Michael R.
