Once the user's location data is transmitted via a GPS-enabled device it is then catalogued and stored in a GIS database. The user's current travel path is then compared to their path history and statistics and a destination is determined based on related spatial and time properties. A warning is then automatically delivered to the user if there is an accident along their predicted path, without requiring any request or input form the user. | 03-18-2010 |
20110246606 | ARCHITECTURE AND TWO-LAYERED PROTOCOL FOR REAL-TIME LOCATION-AWARE APPLICATIONS - A two-layer communication protocol that supports efficient real-time location-aware application on multiple mobile devices that must communicate with each other and/or a centralized server. The two-layer protocol includes a method of communicating data between a first mobile device and a second mobile device using a server to facilitate the communication of the data. The two-layer communication protocol also includes a method of communicating data between a first mobile device and a second mobile device using a server to facilitate the connection between the two devices. The communication of data occurs directly between the two mobile devices. Each method uses reliable, connection-oriented protocols to exchange application-level information and control signals while utilizing unreliable, connection-less protocols to communicate real-time location data. Also provided are architectures implementing these methods. | 10-06-2011 |
20110275384 | ADAPTIVE LOCATION DATA BUFFERING FOR LOCATION-AWARE APPLICATIONS - A method of buffering location data on a mobile device. The method transmits location data packets via an unreliable protocol to a receiving device and buffers a copy of the location data packet. Periodically, the method also transmits a location data packet via a reliable protocol to the receiving device. When no acknowledgement is received from the receiving device, the location data sent via the reliable protocol is buffered to memory. Once an acknowledgement is received from the receiving device, all of the buffered location data is sent to the receiving device via an unreliable protocol. | 11-10-2011 |

20140216666 | CORDLESS RETRACTABLE ROLLER SHADE FOR WINDOW COVERINGS - A cordless retractable shade including an operating system for the shade that varies a biasing force of a spring to counterbalance the shade. The bottom rail of a retractable shade can be raised or lowered, and due to the operating system remains in any selected position of the covering between fully extended and fully retracted, without the use of operating cords. The system includes a method of negating and reversing the spring bias effect at a strategic position whereby the flexible vanes of the shade can be adjusted between open and closed. | 08-07-2014 |
20140262066 | COVERING FOR AN ARCHITECTURAL OPENING - A covering for an architectural opening is provided. The covering may include an accumulator roller, a shade attached to the accumulator roller, and a shade actuation system. The shade may be wrappable about the roller. The shade may include two laterally-separable sheets interconnected by a plurality of vertically-spaced vanes. The shade actuation system may be selectively engageable with a confronting face of one of the two laterally-separable sheets. Engagement of the shade actuation system and the one of the two laterally-separable sheets may restrict movement of the one of the two laterally-separable sheets relative to the other of the two laterally-separable sheets. | 09-18-2014 |

20130089185 | DENTAL X-RAY RECEPTOR POSITIONING DEVICE - A dental X-ray positioning device includes a bite block for gripping receptor. The bit block may be adjusted to accept receptors of various dimensions. The bite block provides the clinician with greater freedom to accurately position the receptor relative to the X-ray source without having to utilize many different devices. The system thereby improves efficiency during X-ray exams and it also guarantees parallel placement of the receptor relative to the X-ray source and to the dentition being examined. The system also incorporates two soft “jaws” that during use prevent the receptor from drooping or failing to remain in parallel position relative to the bite block, the X-ray source, and/or the dentition. | 04-11-2013 |
