20110179367 | SIMPLIFYING APPLICATION ACCESS TO SCHEMATIZED CONTACT DATA - The present invention is directed to utilizing contact data controls to simplify access to schematized contact data. Contact data controls abstract the formatting of schematized contact data from applications. In some embodiments, applications that lack the configuration to natively access schematized contact data (e.g., lack the functionality to convert between schematized and non-schematized data or are not authorized) forward requests to access schematized contact data to an external contact data control. In other embodiments, applications that lack the configuration to natively access schematized contact data forward non-schematized data, which is to be used to update schematized contact data, to an external contact data control. External contact data controls appropriately interact with the schematized data and can provide user-interface such that an application designer need not have extensive knowledge of contact schemas associated with the schematized contact data. | 07-21-2011 |

20090307048 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DELIVERING TARGETED ADVERTISEMENTS - A recipient's viewing or listening attentiveness to an advertisement is identified and subsequent advertisements are targeted to the recipient responsive to the recipient's attentiveness. The recipient may be a viewer or a listener of an advertisement, such as a television commercial. While the recipient is viewing or listening to an advertisement, if the recipient fast-forwards through or interrupts the advertisement, then a subsequent advertisement is chosen that has a higher probability of being viewed in its entirety. Thus, the advertisements are targeted toward the recipient based on the recipient's attentiveness to certain types of the advertisements. This increases the probability that the recipient will watch an entire advertisement, making the advertisement more effective. | 12-10-2009 |

20080223291 | VACUUM COATER DEVICE AND MECHANISM FOR SUPPORTING AND MANIPULATING WORKPIECES IN SAME - An apparatus for providing a vacuum coating to a workpiece, including: a coating chamber containing a coating material, with the coating chamber being operable at an elevated temperature and a sub-atmospheric pressure; an electron beam gun projecting an electron beam into the coating chamber and onto the coating material, where the electron beam gun is operable to melt the coating material and to evaporate molten coating material; and, a mechanism for supporting manipulating the workpiece in the coating chamber. The supporting mechanism further includes: a coupling device for retaining the workpiece; a joint connected to the coupling device enabling movement of the workpiece in all directions; an intermediate member connecting the coupling device and the joint; and, a device connected to the intermediate member for moving the workpiece in a designated vertical plane. The supporting mechanism may also include a device connected to the intermediate member for moving the workpiece in a designated horizontal plane. | 09-18-2008 |
20100021289 | Method for applying a NiA1 based coating by an electroplating technique - The present invention provides a coated article made using a plating process, either electroless or electrolytic, whereby nickel is plated on the article using a solution that includes a suspension of powders or containing one or more of the following elements: Ni, Cr, Al, Zr, Hf, Ti, Ta, Si, Ca, Fe, Y and Ga. Optionally, the coating is then heat treated at a temperature above about 1600.degree. F. for an effective amount of time to allow to homogenize the coating by allowing effective interdiffusion between the species. The level of aluminum may be altered to produce a coating of the predominantly beta phase of the NiAl alloy composition. Optionally, a TBC layer is applied over the predominantly beta phase NiAl alloy composition metallic bond coat. | 01-28-2010 |

20090087828 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND TOOL FOR COMPUTER-BASED LEARNING - Systems and methods of providing remote, real-time computer-facilitated instruction, interaction, testing, and assessment to a plurality of users or participants. The system includes a system (e.g., a server) for shaping and directing a learning or decision-making environment. The shaping/directing system selectively provides content to users based on responses from the users to create a user-directed and generated learning or decision-making experience. The users connect to the shaping/directing system through a plurality of respective, user-controlled client devices. Each respective client device includes an input device (e.g., a pointing device) and an output device (e.g., a display). The output device communicates portions of the content, including decision points, to the respective user. The input device receives responses from the respective user. The responses reply to the respective decision points. | 04-02-2009 |
