20080289041TARGET DATA DETECTION IN A STREAMING ENVIRONMENT - In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a data stream scanner. The present invention may provide for a first data portion received in association with a data stream, and the first data portion may be analyzed to make an assessment. An identity pool may then be selected from a universe of identities based on the assessment, and identities from the identity pool may be selected in a scanning process to analyze a second data portion from the data stream. In addition, the identity pool may be altered based on information obtained during the analysis of the second data portion, wherein the information obtained during the second data portion analysis may indicate the data stream is different from that projected when making the assessment based on the analysis of the first data portion.11-20-2008
20090249484METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING RESTRICTED CONTENT ASSOCIATED WITH RETRIEVED CONTENT - In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for detecting restricted content associated with retrieved content. The method and system may include receiving a client request for content, saving contextual information from the client request, presenting retrieved content in response to the client request, and presenting the contextual information from the client request, and retrieved content, to a scanning facility. The scanning facility may utilize the contextual information from the client request to aid in the detection of restricted content associated with retrieved content.10-01-2009

20120000038JEWELRY CLASP AND METHODS THEREOF - A jewelry clasp including at least a first jewelry interfacer and a second jewelry interfacer capable of magnetically coupling together. The magnetic coupling of the first and second jewelry interfacers can be substantially easy to decouple by applying force substantially in a first direction, but substantially difficult to decouple by applying force that is not substantially in the first direction. Accordingly, the jewelry clasp can be capable of being decoupled by a user with substantial ease while remaining substantially difficult to decouple when not desired.01-05-2012

20090192874SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TARGETED ADVERTISING - A system and method for providing advertising media to consumers is described. The system comprising image capture means, an image processing unit connected to the image capture means. In use, the image processing unit executing one or more pattern recognition algorithms on an image received from the image capture means to extract information from the image relating to consumers in the image. The system compiling a list of attributes associated with an individual consumer based on the extracted information. The system including an advertising media database, an advertising selection unit connected to the image processing unit and the advertising media database. In use the advertising selection unit selecting advertising media from the advertising media database based on the list of attributes. The system also including an advertising delivery unit connected to the advertising selection unit for delivering advertising media selected by the advertising selection unit.07-30-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090077330MODIFIED BRANCH METRIC CALCULATOR TO REDUCE INTERLEAVER MEMORY AND IMPROVE PERFORMANCE IN A FIXED-POINT TURBO DECODER - A turbo decoder that calculates alpha, beta and gamma (branch metric) values does not normalize the branch metric but instead applies the normalization factor to the newly calculated extrinsic values before writing them to interleaving memory, resulting in use of less memory than in prior turbo decoders. A compensating factor is applied when the extrinsics are read from interleaving memory. The absence of normalization in the gamma calculation not only conserves memory but also enhances decoder sensitivity.03-19-2009
