| 20100037288 | Inherited Access Authorization to a Social Network - A method for access authorization via inheritance to information of a first registered user on a social network comprises defining authorization criteria for the first registered user; receiving first verification data from a requester, wherein the requester comprises one of a second registered user or a non-registered user; determining if the first verification data satisfies the authorization criteria, and in the event the first verification data satisfies the authorization criteria, extending inherited access authorization to the requester in the event the requester is the non-registered user, and extending inherited access authorization to a contact of the requestor in the event the requestor is the second registered user. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100332515 | SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION USING PAGE ANCHORS - A web content search request including a search term is received at a searching/indexing device. A web search is performed based upon the search term. A markup language (ML) document returned via the web search including the search term is parsed. A location of the search term within the ML document is identified. A hypertext link to the identified location of the search term within the ML document is configured. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100332965 | AUTOMATED CONFIGURATION OF LOCATION-SPECIFIC PAGE ANCHORS - A request is received via an input device of a computing device for a hypertext link to an item of web content rendered on a display of the computing device. It is determined whether a markup language (ML) document used to render the web content includes an existing page anchor proximate to an item reference within the ML document. The hypertext link is configured based upon the determination of whether the ML document includes the existing page anchor proximate to the item reference within the ML document. The configured hypertext link is returned in response to the request. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20080235609 | FUNCTION SWITCHING DURING DRAG-AND-DROP - A computer-implementable method, system and computer media are presented for allowing a user to change a first type of Drag-and-Drop (DnD) operation into a second type of DnD operation. In one embodiment, the computer-implementable method includes the steps of: detecting a first type of DnD operation in which a cursor is dragging a copy of an original file icon across a Graphical User Interface (GUI); detecting the cursor dragging the copy of the original file icon across a location, on the GUI, at which the original file icon was positioned when the first type of DnD operation was initiated; and in response to detecting the cursor dragging the copy of the original file icon across the location at which the original file icon was initially positioned, converting the first type of DnD operation into a second type of DnD operation. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20100237994 | Automated RFID Reader Detection - Included are network devices, systems, methods, and computer readable medium. These may employ a microcontroller with access to computer readable memory and computer readable storage wherein the microcontroller operates at a first network component of a local area network. The microcontroller may be configured to spatially locate one or more fiducial network components of a local area network in which the microcontroller is a member. The spatial location may be determined by receiving a unique identifier for a first fiducial network component, receiving a wireless signal from a first fiducial network component, determining a physical distance between the first network component and the first fiducial network component, and updating a registry with the determined physical distance. In certain embodiments, the network component may be an RFID reader and the unique identifier may be an IP or MAC address. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20110038151 | LED OPTICAL SYSTEM - An optical system for lighting fixtures uses light emitting diodes arranged in a 2-D array. In one embodiment, a lighting system comprises a framework carrying a plurality of diodes, where each diode has an associated optic that projects the light with a “high,” “medium” or “low” vertical throw, as provided by prismatic “teeth” that refract and reflect light rays in a predetermined manner so that the combined illumination patterns of each diode can blend to generally uniformly illuminate a target surface without dark spots or regions. Each optic has a common primary portion and a selected secondary portion whose tooth/teeth have a “swept” geometry for better angular (vertical and/or horizontal) control of light rays. Structural variations between different secondary portions reside in various factors, including plurality of teeth, length of the tooth along the longitudinal axis A, curvature(s) in the vertical and/or horizontal directions, and angularity or tightness of curvature of the swept geometry. | 02-17-2011 |
