20120064341 | CARBON NANOTUBE/METAL CARBIDE COMPOSITES WITH ENHANCED PROPERTIES - Composite structures of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and metal carbides include a helical nanotube/carbide composite fiber, and a film. The composite fiber was prepared by pulling/twisting carbon nanotubes from an array of nanotubes to form an as-spun fiber and soaking it a metal precursor solution, and then heating it under a reducing atmosphere with a carbon source. The composite fiber had a higher tensile strength, a higher conductivity, and a higher tensile modulus than the as-spun fiber. A composite structure in the form of parallel ribbons of aligned carbon nanotubes embedded in a film of NbC showed an enhanced conductivity along the CNT axial direction, and improved superconducting properties. The enhanced upper critical field of NbC/CNT suggested that the inclusion of CNTs in the NbC matrix reduced the coherence length of the NbC. Nanomechanical testing also demonstrated the potential for enhanced fracture toughness of NbC/CNT composites. | 03-15-2012 |

20130090888 | System and method for proximity based thermal management of mobile device - Various embodiments of methods and systems for leveraging a user proximity measurement to determine thermal management policies in a portable computing device (“PCD”) are disclosed. By leveraging the proximity measurement to set temperature thresholds, the quality of service (“QoS”) provided by the PCD can be optimized when touch temperature of the PCD is not a significant factor for user experience. One such method involves monitoring a proximity signal to determine relative physical proximity of the PCD to a user. Based on the user proximity, a temperature threshold associated with a temperature sensor may be set and compared with an actual temperature measurement received from the temperature sensor. Based on the comparison, thermal management policies in the PCD can be evaluated. For instance, if the temperature threshold is higher than the actual measurement, PCD components may be allowed to increase power consumption, even though PCD temperature may rise, thereby optimizing QoS. | 04-11-2013 |

20140275870 | CONTINUOUS NONINVASIVE MEASUREMENT OF ANALYTE CONCENTRATION USING AN OPTICAL BRIDGE - A method may include directing a radiation beam at a sample, the beam including two periods of radiation having different wavelengths, an analyte in a fluid within the sample having different absorption coefficients for the two different wavelengths, detecting the beam with a detector when the sample is in a first fluid state, the detector configured to generate an output signal proportional to an intensity of the beam at each of the two different wavelengths, detecting the beam with the detector when the sample is in a second fluid state, the sample transitioning from the first fluid state to the second fluid state by a pulsation of the sample, obtaining estimates of an amount of fluid at the first and second fluid states, and determining an analyte concentration estimate based on the output signal and the estimate of the amount of fluid at the first and second fluid states. | 09-18-2014 |

20130090130 | System And Method For Matching Using Location Information - In one embodiment, a method executed by at least one processor includes receiving first historical location information identifying a first location area at which a first user was present at a first time and receiving second location information identifying a second location area at which a second user was present at a second time. The method includes determining that the first historical location information and the second location information each correspond to a particular location area and determining that a characteristic related to the first user corresponds to a preference related to the second user. In response to these determinations, the method includes causing information related to the first user to be presented to the second user. The information related to the first user includes the first location area of the first user relative to the second location area of the second user. | 04-11-2013 |

20150079930 | Method, System, and Computer Program Product for Tracking and Accounting for Roaming of Mobile Devices - Roaming of mobile devices is tracked and accounted for automatically and accurately. Revenue records are received for at least one service provider due to roaming of mobile devices within a geographical area served by the at least one service provider for mobile devices that do not have a subscription for service with the service provider for the geographic area. Expense records are received for the service provider due to roaming of mobile devices within other geographical areas served by at least one other service provider and not served by the at least one service provider. Each of the revenue and expense records is associated with a mobile device and includes a code identifying a service and a geographical area. If the codes are valid, the revenue records and expense records received over a period of time are compiled and summarized. | 03-19-2015 |

20140351129 | CENTRALIZED VERSATILE TRANSACTION VERIFICATION - Example embodiments relate to centralized transaction verification. In example embodiments, a system may maintain a set of tracked attributes and a set of conditions, each condition to provide an indication of whether generally a transaction should be allowed based on at least one of the tracked attributes and an associated value. The system may receive transaction data packets from multiple heterogeneous transaction placement systems, each transaction data packet to relate to a particular transaction and to include any number attributes of any type and any formatting. The system may normalize each of the transaction data packets. The system may verify each of the transaction data packets by analyzing a subset of conditions where the conditions in the subset are related to the attributes associated with the particular transaction data packet. | 11-27-2014 |

20110294098 | Times Table - Teaching accessories that will help children learn and love arithmetic. Using a table with chips and sectional slots on the table, the child will solve problems by themselves or with others. Starting at a young age will help boost mathematical skills in school, just like learning reading at a young age has helped boost reading skills for children. The parent will select the type of problem the child will solve. The problem is then given and the child will use the chips provided in the corner of the table to solve the problem. The table has ten slots that can hold up to 100 chips on their side alone. The child will move up in skill level and feel accomplishment that will make them want to learn more and do more problems. | 12-01-2011 |
