  • Patent number: 8737619
    Abstract: Methods, a user equipment, a server host, a client application, computer program products, and a server computer program. These methods and components can be utilized by a location based service. One method regards triggering of events in the user equipment based on a position of the user equipment, comprising the steps of: —looking up, in a server database at least one network cell-identity associated with a predefined geographical area, —sending the network cell-identity to the user equipment, —storing the network cell-identity in a database in the user equipment, —obtaining a current network cell-identity to which the user equipment currently is connected, —comparing in the user equipment the current network cell-identity with network cell-identities stored in the database, and —retrieving content associated with the current network cell-identity if the current network cell identity is among the network cell-identities in the database.

  • Publication number: 20130210455
    Abstract: A method for aggregating demographic distribution information from a plurality of networks, the method comprising, in each network: monitoring the location of each of a plurality of user devices in each of a plurality of location areas; retrieving demographic information associated with a plurality of user devices; transmitting an indication of the demographic distribution for each location area to a data collector; the method further comprising: receiving the indications at the data collector and collating the information to generate an aggregated demographic distribution map.

  • Publication number: 20130074986
    Abstract: A cable sealing device for sealing a cable passing through a first and second surface is provided. The cable sealing device comprises a first sealing element extending in a first radial direction of the cable and configured to surround at least a portion of the cable and to seal an opening in the first surface, and a second sealing element extending in a second radial direction of the cable and configured to surround at least a portion of the cable and to seal an opening in the second surface. The extension of the first sealing element in the first radial direction is smaller than the extension of the second sealing element in the second radial direction.

  • Patent number: 8224809
    Abstract: Matching systems are provided that are configured to determine if a first entity received from a client device of a first user matches with at least one other entity of a plurality of entities indexed in an index in which each entity is associated with one or more index points. The system includes an application server adapted for communication with a matching engine and the client device. The matching engine is configured to index the first entity by associating the first entity with one or more index points in the index; and search for other entities matching the first entity among the plurality of entities indexed in the index by searching for other entities associated with at least one of the index points with which the first entity is associated.

  • Publication number: 20110208702
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for verifying geographical descriptiveness of a media file, such as a picture. The system comprises storage means adapted to store a media file, communication means adapted to send said media file to a plurality of user terminals, and to receive, from the user terminals, data indicating a guessed geographical position with which the user of each user terminal associates the media file. The system also comprises calculation means adapted to determine whether the media file is indicative of a geographical position based on the guessed geographical positions received from the plurality of user terminal.

  • Publication number: 20110125767
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved recommender system. In some embodiments, the recommender system automatically builds a user profile for a user based solely on the action or actions the user takes with respect to certain documents and the contents of the documents. That is, the profile is based on implicit ratings. In addition to maintaining a user profile for each user, each document in a set of documents will have its own document profile, which is also referred to as a document vector. Advantageously, in some embodiments, the user profile will consist of the same attributes as the document vectors. This advantageous feature enables the recommender system to compare users and documents in order to generate recommendations.

  • Patent number: 4145604
    Abstract: A steam heated cooking pan comprises in combination a double-mantled food preparation vessel arranged above a steam generator which includes an outer vessel and an open bottom inner vessel enclosed in the outer vessel and in which are disposed steam generating electrodes. A steam exhaust opening is provided at the upper end of the inner vessel for supplying steam to the double-mantled vessel. Steam generation is automatically controlled by a movable cover opening and closing the steam exhaust opening in response to steam pressure sensed by a pressure sensitive member arranged below the outer vessel and coupled to the cover by an actuating rod passing through a tube secured to the bottom of the outer vessel and extending upwardly to the opening. The tube communicates the pressure sensitive member with the inner vessel and prevents contact between the water in the steam generator and the pressure sensitive member and actuating rod thereby preventing deposition of time thereon.
