Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical socket extender to provide an electrical socket remote from a surface/wall-mounted electrical socket. In particular, the present invention relates to an electrical socket extender to provide an electrical socket remote from a surface/wall-mounted electrical socket, the socket extender comprising: a socket engaging portion connectable to the wall-mounted electrical socket; an appliance socket section providing one or more electrical appliance socket; and a linkage which connects the appliance socket section to the socket engaging portion.

Abstract: A method of adding a multi-application insect repellent additive (hereafter, “the additive”) includes the steps of: providing the additive, immersing a textile in a fluid medium including the additive within a laundry-cleaning apparatus, disseminating the additive throughout the fluid medium and the textile, partially removing the fluid medium from the textile and drying the textile. After completing these steps, the additive is retained by the textile. In the disclosed embodiment, the additive may be formed of permethrin, encapsulated natural extracts, and or other disclosed formulations.

Abstract: Compounds that stimulate fibroblast growth factor production, and thus cell growth are provided. Also provided are compositions comprising the compounds and methods of using the compounds. The compounds can be used to treat wounds, to expand cell populations, such as hematopoietic cells, or to grow tissue in vitro, among other uses.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for inferring user context and delivering advertisements, such as coupons, using natural language and/or sentiment analysis is disclosed. The facility may infer context information based on a user's emotional state, attitude, needs, or intent from the user's interaction with or through a mobile device. The facility may then determine whether it is appropriate to deliver an advertisement to the user and select an advertisement for delivery. The facility may also determine an appropriate expiration time and/or discount amount for the advertisement.

Abstract: The present technique provides a combined file space for files from multiple partner computing devices. An individual cache policy associated with each partner computing device determines the manner in which the files in the combined file space are filtered for the respective partner computing device. Files data that do not have content stored locally have metadata associated with the files stored locally in the combined file space.

Abstract: A virtual driver is enabled and a class driver is bypassed to provide at least one functionality different than that of the bypassed class driver. A filter driver is initialized in the stack of a class driver in order to bypass the class driver. The filter driver receives inputs associated with the input device and/or application emulating an input device and passes the input data to a virtual driver. The virtual driver provides data to an operating system for functionality that is at least partially different than that of the bypassed class driver.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for managing online advertisement bidding processes is described. The facility selects advertisements for delivery to mobile device users based on advertiser bids. The advertisers may bid for presentation of their advertisements to users having certain spatio-temporal, user segment, and/or other characteristics. The facility may also select advertisements for delivery based on an estimated likelihood of a mobile device user's positive response to the advertisement. Advertiser and user feedback may also be employed to refine the process of selecting advertisements for delivery.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for providing a mobile device enhanced shopping experience is disclosed. The facility may determine a user characteristic of a mobile device user and deliver information in response to a product query. The information may include product information, competitive pricing information, competitive product information, related product information, a product advertisement, and/or the like. Also, the product query may be based on barcode information, a barcode image, product information, a product image, and/or the like.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for filtering advertisements based on variable contexts is described. The facility may ascertain whether incoming messages are advertisements and filter messages containing advertisements. Advertisements may be filtered for deletion, storage, and/or user alerts with or without storage. The user may be alerted to incoming advertisements either upon receipt or at a later time. Filtering and notification may be based on real-time context (e.g., mood, location, time, environment, device status, etc.). In addition, filtering may also be based on message context and other contexts. User feedback may also be employed to refine filtering algorithms.

Abstract: A software and/or hardware facility for managing the referral of electronic advertisements is described. The facility may be configured to provide advertisements, including coupons, to a referrer and to enable the referrer to forward the advertisements to recipients. The facility also tracks recipient responses to the forwarded advertisements (e.g., redemption of coupons, interactions with the advertisement, rejections of advertisements, etc.). The facility may also be configured to provide incentives and/or disincentives to referrers based on recipient responses to advertisements.
