Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method may allow primary account holders (e.g., parents) to select merchants along specific routes where a secondary account holder (e.g., child) would be able to use a payment device. Each of these merchants may be categorized to further allow a parent to approve or reject purchases with a particular merchant. Any attempt to consummate a financial transaction with such a device at a disallowed merchant or at a merchant outside the defined geo-zone would not go through and may trigger an alert message to the parent/primary account holder (e.g., an email, SMS, phone call, etc.). Furthermore, setting a threshold may enable a trigger to ask the parent for approval in case the child makes a transaction of an amount exceeding the threshold value.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of online advertising. More specifically, the present invention provides a method and system for monitoring and collecting user responses to advertisements when multiple advertisements are aggregated as slides in a single banner space rendered on user's display device. The method and system according to the present invention determines a valid impression score (VIS) by analyzing user active time on webpage, which further enables the advertisers to monitor whether the advertisements are viewed by the users or not. Also, the determined VIS enables removal/insertion/repositioning of one or multiple advertisements/slides in a banner advertisement. Generating accurate insights and results of effectiveness of advertisement for advertiser.

Abstract: A system comprising an air intake structure, a tunnel structure, and an energy generation device is described. The air intake structure may include a first entrance and a first exit. The air intake structure may receive air directed towards the first entrance. A size difference between the first entrance and the first exit may cause a compression of the received air into first compressed air. The tunnel structure may include a second entrance and a second exit. The tunnel structure may receive the first compressed air. A size difference between the second entrance and the second exit may cause a compression of the first compressed air into second compressed air. The energy generation device may receive the second compressed air, and may transform a portion of the second compressed air into energy. The system may further include elements effective to facilitate cooling of components of a vehicle.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a nasal aspirator has a suction device having an input port, a nasal aspirator tip having a first body portion and a second body portion that is releasably coupled to the first body portion. The second body portion has an input port that is in fluid communication with an output port that is formed on the first body portion. A hollow tube has a first end that is coupled to the suction device input port and a second end that is coupled to the first body output port. In some embodiments, the suction device is configured to be releasably attached to the body of a user via a strap and the nasal aspirator tip is configured to be grasped between two adjacent fingers on the user's hand while leaving at least two other fingers on the user's hand free to manipulate the head of a child on which the nasal aspirator is being used.

Abstract: In a multi-subscription wireless communication device with a shared radio frequency (RF) resource, when there is an active data communication associated with the first SIM, a tune-away may be performed to support a subscription on a second SIM. After tuning to the second network to receive data during an assigned time slot in a frame capable of carrying a common control channel the wireless communication device may determine whether a message granting or denying the requested channel access can be recovered or excluded, and skip receiving remaining frames for the message and stop tune-aways when a message granting the requested channel access can be excluded. In some embodiments determining whether the message can be excluded may include determining whether a signal-to-noise ratio for the received data burst is greater than 10 dB, and if so, determining whether the decoded data can be identified as part of a paging message.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of preparing a membrane by dispersing carbon nanotubes in a solvent, and preparing a slurry from the dispersion by removing at least a portion of the solvent. The method includes applying the slurry to a first surface, and forming a carbon nanotube membrane by compressing the slurry between the first surface and at least a second surface. Some embodiments forming a composite assembly by sandwiching the carbon nanotube membrane between two or more bleeder cloth layers to form an uncured assembly, and applying a curable resin to a first side of the uncured assembly, and applying a curable resin to a second side of the uncured assembly, and curing the uncured assembly.

Abstract: A method for managing radio access technology services includes: reacquiring control of a radio frequency (RF) chain of a mobile communication device by a first subscription; performing a search for a base station serving a cell in which the mobile communication device is currently located; decoding only a Frequency Control Channel (FCCH) and a Synchronization Channel (SCH) transmitted by the base station; comparing a decoded Base Station Identity Code (BSIC) with a stored BSIC of a last serving cell on which a packet switched (PS) context for a data call on the first subscription was suspended or on which idle mode operations were last performed on the first subscription; and if the decoded BSIC matches the stored BSIC, resuming the data call on the first subscription on the last serving cell.

Abstract: A method for performing cell reselection by a wireless communication device is described. The method includes monitoring one or more neighbor cells of a same radio access technology as a serving cell while camped on the serving cell. The method also includes determining that reselection criteria is met for a target cell. The method further includes starting a reselection timer for the target cell. The method additionally includes determining whether to perform reselection to the target cell based on a target cell signal to noise ratio (SNR) and a serving cell SNR.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and apparatus to improve public land mobile network search time. A user equipment (UE) may determine a subset of channels within a frequency band based on a stored identifier of a channel used by a previously acquired cell, each channel in the subset being spaced from the channel used by the previously acquired cell by a different multiple of a set spacing, the set spacing being greater than a spacing between adjacent channels. The subset of channels may be scanned to determine a signal strength of each channel in the subset. The UE may rank each channel in the subset according to the determined signal strength of the channel and attempt to acquire a cell using a channel in the subset based on the ranking.
