Abstract: Internet searches sometimes provide search results referencing webpages that don't contain all search term elements submitted by a user. The user may then click on such Internet search results where referenced webpages, and/or their descendants, do not contain important search term elements. Also, advertisements are sometimes placed on search results webpages that relate to the user's search term elements, even though some of those search terms are missing in referenced and/or descendant webpages. Systems and processes are directed to: annotating Internet search results to indicate missing search term elements on referenced and descendant webpages; optionally filtering out search results referencing webpages with missing terms; and showing advertisements co-visible with annotated search results.

Abstract: A multi-mode and/or multi-ammunition type weapon is described, whereupon being removed from a stored position is always initially in a default mode that fires one form of ammunition type, and can be quickly placed by a user into a different mode that fires a second, and different, form of ammunition type. When returned to the stored position, an integral ammunition type selector is automatically placed into an initial position enabling the weapon to fire one of the multiple ammunition types as selected by an integral ammunition sequence selector. The ammunition sequence selector enables selection of either the first or second form of ammunition type as the default ammunition type when the weapon is placed into the stored position. A shot sequence recorder is optionally included for recording sequences of ammunition types fired, providing an un-alterable record of firing events.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described to block texting for a driver of a moving vehicle while allowing passengers to text. For one embodiment, the GPS position and/or speed of Texting-Capable Devices (TCDs) are compared via local communication (WiFi or Bluetooth) with those of local TCDs. If the position and/or speed track with one or more neighboring TCDs, those TCDs are assumed to be in the same vehicle. Further and via local communication, a TCD can query local TCDs to determine, using Known Acquaintance validation, if a TCD user is known to another TCD user. If so, they are assumed to be in the same vehicle. If one TCD in a vehicle is a registered Driver/Master TCD, then other TCDs in the vehicle (Passenger TCDs) are allowed to text. A TCD submitting a query need only reveal its GPS and/or Known Acquaintance data locally within its immediate vicinity.

Abstract: Electro-mechanical and electronically controlled access devices are described for automatically controlling passage between two areas, and where a plurality of such access control devices may be ganged or clustered to provided additional throughput and directional control, including stacking a plurality of access control devices side by side within a cluster. Each access control device contains multiple rotatable and moveable door panels. The door panels are controlled by various drive mechanisms to enable passage through the device, while ensuring by the use of sensors that door panels avoid touching subjects as they traverse the device. The direction of flow through a device according to these embodiments is electronically controlled and may be changed from time to time. At any instant in time while being traversed, the flow through each device is unidirectional. Multiple devices within a cluster can be directionally controlled according to traffic, demand, time of day, or other factors.

Abstract: A secure passageway is described where a subject is required to pass through two or more chambers in order to travel between two areas, typically where one area is secure and the other is not. For a passageway including first and second chambers, three electronically controlled doorways are included: one between the two chambers; one between a first chamber and a first area; and one between the second chamber and a second area. Sensors are included to determine how many subjects have entered a chamber. Sensors are also included to determine if a subject represents a threat. Subjects determined to represent a threat may be detained or encouraged to reverse direction and exit the passageway through the door where they entered. When a subject is determined to represent a threat, an alarm is optionally sounded.

Abstract: A portal apparatus for securely controlling passage is described. The apparatus uses a passageway which includes at least two moveable door panels that operate in conjunction with at least two sidewalls including at least one linear sidewall. The apparatus includes position sensors for tracking a position of a subject passing through the passageway and determining a rate of movement of the subject. While the subject is walking through the passageway, each door panels is controlled to move at the determined rate of movement of the subject.

Abstract: Internet search engines sometimes provide Internet search results referencing webpages that do not contain all search term elements submitted by a user. The user may then click on such Internet search results where the referenced webpages do not contain an important search term element. The present invention is directed to annotating Internet search results to indicate missing search term elements. This facilitates the user to avoid clicking on an Internet search result where the user's search term elements are not present on the referenced webpage, and thereby prevents wasting the user's time. Furthermore, frequently, search term elements are missing on a webpage referenced by an Internet search result but are found on a descendant webpage thereof. Accordingly, the present invention is further directed to annotating an Internet search result consistent with the presence or absence of search term elements on both a referenced webpage and one or more descendant webpages.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically analyzing and characterizing Internet search results, and removing search results from a search results page according to specific characteristics of operational function type information displayed on each webpage located at a URL corresponding to a search result. Operational function types include one or more of: a composition of information displayed on the webpage; a behavior of the webpage; a style of the webpage; an organization of the webpage; and a purpose of the webpage.
