Publication number: 20200110520Abstract: Technology is described for engaging a user while accessing an electronic page. An event may be received via a user interface control in the electronic page to initiate playback of audio data. The audio data may be played using an audio player associated with an electronic page as initiated by the event. A defined time may be determined as being reached in the audio data. A trigger event associated with the defined time in the audio data may be identified. A pop-up overlay may be displayed in response to the trigger event identified for the defined time in the audio data. The pop-up overlay may include a user interface control to capture a user action in response to the pop-up overlay being presented.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2018Publication date: April 9, 2020Inventors: Eslee Buckley Barlow, Steven Blake Kiger

Publication number: 20120266250Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for protecting a user's identity by automatically replacing all identity-indicating information in messages with aliases. Users may input real name/alias pairs into a web form to be stored in a database. Any content that USER-A posts will appear unmodified to users to which USER-A has granted permission. When a user who has not been granted permission views USER-A's content, the user will see a modified version of the content. In this case, any and all instances of USER-A's stored real names in USER-A's content will be replaced with USER-A's corresponding aliases.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2011Publication date: October 18, 2012Inventor: Steven Blake Uhl

Patent number: 7689396Abstract: In one embodiment the invention comprises a system for planning a seismic survey based on a model of a subsurface formation in which a computer simulation is generated having sources and receivers positioned in selected locations with respect to the model. Ray tracing is performed from the sources to estimate a propagation ray path of seismic signals emanating from the source locations, and emergent points are determined at which ray paths reach the earth's surface following reflection from a subsurface area of interest. A survey may then be designed and performed in which receiver positions are concentrated at the areas where the emergent points are concentrated.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2002Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: PGS Americas, Inc.Inventor: Steven Blake Campbell
