| 20110060776 | DIGITAL ASSET VALIDATION PRIOR TO SUBMISSION FOR NETWORK-BASED DISTRIBUTION - A system and method for submission of digital assets to a digital asset submission system are disclosed. The digital asset submission system can manage submissions of digital assets to a network-based distribution system. Submission of digital assets to the digital asset submission system can be performed over a network in a controlled manner such that the digital assets can be validated prior to transmission of the digital assets to the digital asset submission system. Advantageously, digital assets to be submitted for distribution can be substantially validated before the digital assets are transmitted to the digital asset submission system. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110249079 | TRANSITIONING BETWEEN CIRCUIT SWITCHED CALLS AND VIDEO CALLS - Transitioning between an audio only circuit switched call and a video call. A client device, which is currently connected to one or more other client devices through an established audio only circuit switched call, receives input from a user to transition from the audio only circuit switched call to the video call. A video call invitation message is transmitted to the other client devices. The client device receives a video call accept message from the other client devices and begins transmitting video captured by its front facing camera to the other client devices. Responsive to receiving at least a video frame from each of the one or more other client devices, the client device transitions from the audio only circuit switched call to the video call. After transitioning to the video call, the circuit switched call is dropped. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110250909 | REGISTERING CLIENT COMPUTING DEVICES FOR ONLINE COMMUNICATION SESSIONS - Registering a client computing device for online communication sessions. A registration server receives a message that has a push token that is unique to the client computing device and a phone number of the client computing device from an SMS (Short Message Service) transit device, which received an SMS message having the push token from the client computing device and determined the phone number of the client computing device from that SMS message. The registration server associates the push token and the phone number and stores it in a registration data store, which is used for inviting users for online communication sessions. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20090243882 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A MANUALLY OPERATED VEHICULAR HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM - A road hazard warning system provides a remote control and/or a turn signal-like on-steering wheel activation and engagement device, connected through an electronic interface, to cause a remote device to display a user-selected road hazard message. The device employs a CANCEL or OFF button on the remote control, or neutral position in an on-steering column stalk implementation, and/or an automatic cancellation feature after a given default time period, which provides for the cancellation of the currently-selected hazard and returns the display to a default state. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20110214985 | Clean water and clean air project (fresh water): method of energy storage and production of chemicals for water treatment - An energy transport and storage system in combination with a method of water treatment, which includes: a fresh water or effluent water interconnection, an electricity interconnection with an electric grid, a water filtration and de-mineralization system, a fresh or effluent water electrolyser, a heat recovery system connected to the electrolyser, an electrolyte recovery system connected to the electrolyser, an interconnection to an alternative hydrogen gas supply, a high pressure underground hydrogen gas storage system, a safety valve connected to the underground hydrogen gas storage system, an electric generation system powered by compressed hydrogen gas turning a turbine during decompression which can recycle electricity within the system or send electricity to an electric grid, a hydrogen gas outlet for distribution of hydrogen, an oxygen gas transport system which sends oxygen gas to a water treatment facility to be used for water disinfection. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110214986 | Clean water and clean air project (brine): method of water treatment, chemical production, and underground energy storage - An energy transport and storage system in combination with a method of water treatment which includes: a brine (including ocean, sea, or estuary water) interconnection, an electricity interconnection with an electric grid, a filtration and demineralization system, a brine water electrolyser, a gas separation or filtration system, a heat recovery system connected to the electrolyser, a sodium hydroxide recovery system, an interconnection to an alternative hydrogen gas supply, a high pressure underground hydrogen gas storage system, a safety valve connected to the underground hydrogen gas storage system, an electric generation system powered by compressed hydrogen gas turning a turbine during decompression, which can recycle electricity within the system or send electricity to an electric grid, a hydrogen gas outlet for distribution of hydrogen gas, a system to collect other gases, and a chlorine gas production system. This invention will produce clean water and clean air. This invention will provide clean water by using brine water to produce energy in the form of hydrogen, which is eventually converted back into fresh water, which can be used. Hydrogen gas produced from renewable energy can be combined with atmospheric oxygen to produce electricity, heat, and water. This energy creation and use process in the form of hydrogen creates virtually no pollution. This hydrogen energy use process is thus cleaner than the use of petroleum combustion technologies, which pollute air and water. | 09-08-2011 |
