  • Patent number: 8473372
    Abstract: A method of presenting real estate data is provided. A plurality of property listings can be presented, and a selection of one of the presented property listings may be received from a user. The user may be associated with a financial profile, which may be specified via user input. In response to receiving the selection by the user, at least one loan offer corresponding to the property listing may be automatically presented, for example, together with the property listing. The loan offer may be at least partially based on the financial profile, and may also be based on a property corresponding to the selected property listing. For example, the property listing and the financial profile may be automatically transmitted to one or more loan providers in response to receiving the selection by the user of the property listing, and in response loan offers may be received from some of the loan providers.

  • Patent number: 8428861
    Abstract: The Wrong Way Detection System includes detection stations deployed at each egress point along a tollway in addition to various locations along the tollway's mainline. The detection hardware communicates preferably via fiber optic network to a customized software platform housed at a centrally located Incident Management Center (IMC) of the system, where each site is monitored 24/7 in real time for wrong way vehicles. Once a vehicle is detected, operators at the IMC are able to immediately dispatch law enforcement officers and monitor the vehicle's whereabouts via CCTV cameras.

  • Patent number: 8317926
    Abstract: The specification discloses a method and apparatus enabling the formation of a diffusion surface layer on a surface of a metal substrate, typically a ferrous based metal substrate, wherein in a first stage in a first fluidized bed furnace, a diffusion zone is formed extending inwardly from the surface of the metal substrate in which nitrogen has been diffused to form a nitride or carbo nitride inner zone and an outer white layer that is substantially free of porosity, treating the substrate formed in the first stage to prevent formation of or remove any surface oxide on the surface of the substrate, and in a second stage separate from the first stage, holding the thus treated substrate in a fluidized bed furnace operated under an inert atmosphere and fluidized by a flow of inert gas or gases, the substrate in the fluidized bed furnace being treated in the presence of a halide gas and a particulate metal or metal alloy.

  • Patent number: 8315911
    Abstract: A method of presenting real estate data is provided. A plurality of property listings can be presented, and a selection of one of the presented property listings may be received from a user. The user may be associated with a financial profile, which may be specified via user input. In response to receiving the selection by the user, at least one loan offer corresponding to the property listing may be automatically presented, for example, together with the property listing. The loan offer may be at least partially based on the financial profile, and may also be based on a property corresponding to the selected property listing. For example, the property listing and the financial profile may be automatically transmitted to one or more loan providers in response to receiving the selection by the user of the property listing, and in response loan offers may be received from some of the loan providers.

  • Patent number: 7748272
    Abstract: The MEMS Sensor Suite on a Chip provides the capability, monolithically integrated onto one MEMS chip, to sense temperature, humidity, and two axes of acceleration. The device incorporates a MEMS accelerometer, a MEMS humidity sensor, and a MEMS temperature sensor on one chip. These individual devices incorporate proof masses, suspensions, humidity sensitive capacitors, and temperature sensitive resistors (thermistors) all fabricated in a common fabrication process that allows them to be integrated onto one micromachined chip. The device can be fabricated in a simple micromachining process that allows its size to be miniaturized for embedded and portable applications. During operation, the sensor suite chip monitors temperature levels, humidity levels, and acceleration levels in two axes. External circuitry allows sensor readout, range selection, and signal processing.
