| 20100321635 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE CONFIGURATION OF AN OPHTHALMIC LENS, OPHTHALMIC LENS PRODUCED ACCORDING TO SAID METHOD, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID LENS - The invention relates to a method for determining the configuration of an ophthalmic lens intended to correct the visual acuity of a user, this method comprising the steps of determining the form of a base optical corrective element according to at least one of the following parameters: the desired power of the ophthalmic lens; the desired resolution or modulation transfer function MTF; the desired extent of the correction of the spherical aberrations (SA) of said ophthalmic lens; the desired extent of the correction of the spherical aberrations (SA) of the cornea of the user; the desired extent of the correction of the chromatic aberrations of said ophthalmic lens; the desired extent of the correction of the chromatic aberrations of the cornea of the user; the desired extent of the correction of high order aberrations (HOA). Furthermore the method comprises a step of determining the profile of a diffractive phase element (DPE) structure, said determination comprising the steps of defining a desired depth of focus of said ophthalmic lens; of calculating the phase distribution to be created at the entrance pupil of the lens, from the desired depth of focus; of finding the phases which minimize the differences between the effective phase distribution and the desired phase distribution and of converting the phase data into geometrical data in order to define the profile of the diffractive phase distribution structure. The method finally comprises juxtaposing the resulting diffractive phase element structure and the base optical corrective element. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20090086020 | PHOTOGRAMMETRIC NETWORKS FOR POSITIONAL ACCURACY - The present invention involves a surveying system and method which determines the postion of a object point using two images. First, at least two reference points appearing on the two images are correlated. Then the position of the object point is determined based on the two images and the two reference points. | 04-02-2009 |

| 20090259537 | ADVERTISEMENT-FUNDED SOFTWARE - Systems and methods are provided to directly compensate an agent that utilizes a software application in exchange for the agent's intent in using the application, and for displaying intent-driven advertisement to the agent. Intent is inferred through information received from the agent, when utilizing the software application, according to an agent's privacy settings. Based on agent's intent, an advertisement is displayed and an associated software-related compensation is provided to the agent. Compensation accumulation profiles can be established based at least in part on privacy settings. Compensation possesses monetary value and can be directed towards (i) increasing software functionality, (ii) providing credits for training and literature related to the utilization of the application, or (iii) servicing a device in which the application is executed. The monetary aspect of the software-related compensation originated in intent-driven advertisement effectively funds the agent's software application. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100036720 | UBIQUITOUS INTENT-BASED CUSTOMER INCENTIVE SCHEME - System(s) and method(s) are provided to compensate an agent in exchange for the agent's intent in transacting with a service platform. Compensation can be effected in online and offline domains, and intent can be conveyed online or offline. Compensation is funded through advertisement spending, and advertisement impressions facilitate compensation delivery. The service platform that compensated the agent extracts intent through explicit or implicit expressions which can be collected online or offline. Offline expressions can be delivered through wearable indicia. Compensation can be delivered wirelessly offline or online to a device operated by the agent. Agent and agent's device(s) registration afford service platform to deliver adaptive compensation customized to the agent, and advertisement(s) with format and content optimized for the agent's device. To drive agent's commercial transactions, offline location services and online location information facilitate delivery of advertisement and associated compensation based in part on agent's intent and location. | 02-11-2010 |
