  • Patent number: 11964382
    Abstract: Inspection robots with swappable drive modules are described. An example inspect robot may include a first removeable interface plate on the side of a robot chassis. The first removable interface plate may couple a first drive module to an electronic board, within the chassis, where the electronic board includes a drive module interface circuit communicatively coupled to the first drive module. The example inspect robot may also include a second removeable interface plate on a side of a robot chassis. The second removable interface plate may couple a second drive module to an electronic board, within the chassis, where the electronic board includes a drive module interface circuit communicatively coupled to the second drive module.

  • Publication number: 20220233217
    Abstract: Implementations described herein include devices and systems for attenuation of increased spinal flexion loads post-fusion that include a transition member. The transition member may have a tension component coupleable to a fused vertebra of a plurality of fused vertebra of a fusion implant and to an adjacent unfused vertebra. The tension component may be tensionable to a selected value. The tension component may modulate a flexion range of motion of the adjacent unfused vertebra as a function of the selected value of tension of the tension component. The transition member may attenuate spinal flexion loads on adjacent unfused vertebra post-operatively.

  • Publication number: 20160038838
    Abstract: An automated method that provides access to gated content is described. The method is performed by a device comprising a processor. The method includes: receiving content associated with an advertising item; retrieving game content; providing a gaming environment including the advertising item; determining, via the gaming environment, whether a set of engagement criteria has been satisfied; and providing a first set of options when determining that the set of engagement criteria has been satisfied, where the first set of options includes access to a gated content item. The automated method further includes providing a second set of options when determining that the set of engagement criteria has not been satisfied, where the second set of options excludes access to the gated content item.

  • Publication number: 20150170199
    Abstract: A computer-implemented automated method adapted to provide access to gated content is described. The method includes: receiving a selection associated with a gated content item; providing an engagement user interface (UI) based at least partly on the received selection; determining whether a set of engagement criteria has been satisfied; and providing access to the gated content item if the set of engagement criteria has been satisfied. A computer-implemented automated method adapted to provide an engagement advertisement within a web page includes: presenting an engagement UI for a specified length of time; retracting the engagement UI to a specified location within the web page; cycles through a set of ads associated with the engagement advertisement; and determining whether a selection is made from the set of ads. A method receives an ad tag; parses the ad tag and assigns an ad unit to each campaign asset; and generates a code snippet.

  • Publication number: 20100070282
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for improving transaction success rates for voice reminder applications in e-commerce. In one embodiment of the invention, the voice reminder applications in e-commerce utilizes a network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system, which can generate a purchase reminder associated with a recipient's potential purchase. The network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system can also deliver the purchase reminder to a recipient's voicemail and leave a transaction identifier number and a centralized or a recipient-specific call-back phone number to the recipient's voicemail. A recipient can utilize the transaction identifier number, the centralized or the recipient-specific call-back phone number, and optionally a recipient-specific password to make a phone call to retrieve the purchase reminder previously delivered to the recipient's voicemail by the network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system.

  • Publication number: 20100008479
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for generating commissions from e-commerce transaction assistance provided by a network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system. The network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system takes a user's textual and/or multimedia input from a user interface to schedule delivery of text-to-speech-converted information as a reminder call to a user once the user's desired time or an event for the reminder delivery is reached. If the delivered reminder call is associated with a particular e-commerce transaction, then the network-based text-to-speech (TTS) alert system is capable of taking a user feedback for authorization of the particular e-commerce transaction over an IVR interface during the reminder call or an online calendar interface.

  • Publication number: 20060204503
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods of treating, indentifying or diagnosing a hyperproliferative disorder in a patient in need thereof. The methods of the invention include administering to a patient a composition comprising a binding molecule which binds to a cell surface expressed glycoprotein expressed predominantly in tumor or tumor-associated cells. In particular, the therapeutic and diagnostic methods of the present invention include the use of a binding molecule, for example an antibody or immunospecific fragment thereof, which specifically binds to a lung tumor-associated polypeptide, variant polypeptide or fragment thereof.
