Patent number: 11687976Abstract: Targeted Content solutions can be provided using a variety of techniques. Targeted Content can be provided in place of generic advertisements on a first device or on personal computing devices. Targeted Content can be presented during, or in place of, generic advertisements in Content (e.g., television content, streaming content, etc.). Targeted Content can include customized video content to improve a user's viewing experience and thereby provide increased revenue opportunities for advertisers and content providers. The video content and/or customized content that is provided to a user can be paused or substituted to permit customized content to be delivered to the user. The video content and/or customized content can be of sporting events, and can facilitate and improve participation in a Fantasy Sports league.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Inventors: Mark W.

Patent number: 11294665Abstract: A software development system maps the organization and storage of software or code of a project in a structured database instead of in a series of discrete files and directories in a traditional file system. The code is analyzed and parsed to create parse trees for storage in the structured database. Individual software developers may be presented with the code taking the appearance of a traditional file-based representation with each developer being able to have their own customized representation or view of the code to best suit their needs, preferences and current task. To facilitate migration to such a system, tools are provided to export a snapshot of the structured database into discrete files in order that existing file-based tools may continue to be used.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Inventors: William Knight Foster, Mark W. Publicover, Robert M. Mather

Patent number: 10964209Abstract: A traffic and parking management system is in signal communication with vehicles to direct them to park in specific locations that are under the systems authority. The system tracks and determines the availability of parking spaces via a digital camera network, and then allocates spaces based on need, predicted availability, and predicted arrival time at a preferred destination or vicinity. The vehicles are directed to the space so allocated, and in the case of a pay for parking system, billed by the system. The traffic and parking management system operates in conjunction with a smart traffic control device which transmits information to approaching vehicles regarding its current and future state enabling vehicles to control their speed to avoid arriving at the traffic control device until it permits the passage of traffic, thus avoiding stopping, idling and reaccelerating when reaching the traffic control device.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Inventors: Mark W.
