20100108859 | Sensor for eye-safe and body-fixed semi-active laser guidance - A sensor for laser spot trackers. The novel sensor includes a detector array comprised of a predetermined number of subsets, each subset including a plurality of detector elements, and a readout circuit for providing a first output and a second output, the first output including subset signals that represent the total energy received in each subset and the second output including signals representing energy received by each individual detector element. In an illustrative embodiment, the array is divided into four subsets and the first output includes four subset signals that are compatible with four-quadrant guidance systems. A subset signal is generated by thresholding signals received from each individual detector element to remove noise, and then summing the thresholded signals from each detector element in the subset. | 05-06-2010 |
20110228249 | LASER IMAGING SYSTEM WITH UNIFORM LINE ILLUMINATION AND METHOD FOR GENERATING IMAGES - Embodiments of a laser imaging system with uniform line illumination and method for generating images are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the laser imaging system includes a polarizer beam splitter to angularly separate an input laser beam into a pair of overlapping cross-polarized beams having a first angular separation therebetween, and a diffraction optic beamlet generator to generate a plurality of beamlets of alternating polarization states with a second angular separation therebetween. The laser imaging system may also include a focal-plane array (FPA) having a field-of-view (FOV) to be illuminated by the plurality of beamlets. | 09-22-2011 |

20120074295 | Transparent Silicon Detector and Multimode Seeker Using the Detector - A laser energy detector may include at least one photodetector device formed on a semiconductor substrate. The photodetector device may have an active area effective to detect laser energy at a laser wavelength. The active area of the laser energy detector may be substantially transparent for a first wavelength band within an infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. | 03-29-2012 |

20090320399 | Drainage-Promoting Wrap for an Exterior Wall or Roof of a Building - A drainage-promoting wrap includes an elongate web of a weather-resistive membrane and a series of separate, laterally spaced-apart, elongate filament spacers bonded to a face of the membrane. The filaments are preferably extruded polymeric filaments and have depressions formed therein providing transverse drainage paths across the filaments. Preferably, the filaments extend substantially parallel to each other and to a longitudinal axis of the elongate membrane. In addition, preferably the membrane is made of a polymeric material so that the filaments are thermally bonded to the face of the membrane. Wall and roof assemblies utilizing the wrap and methods of making the wrap are provided. | 12-31-2009 |

20120036024 | MIXED AUCTIONS - In general, first bids associated with an ad request are identified, where the first bids have an auction value that is set at a bidding time. Second bids associated with the ad request are identified, where the second bids have an auction value that is unknown at the bidding time. One or more predicted auction values for the second bids are determined, and an auction is run to identify one or more winning bids from the first and second bids for satisfying the ad request. | 02-09-2012 |
20120151359 | CORRELATING USER INTERACTIONS WITH INTERFACES - Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for tracking user interactions with interfaces and determining social data. One example method includes receiving from an entity an indication of interfaces that are used to interact with users, registering the user interfaces, tracking user interaction with the interfaces, and using the tracking information to determine all actions associated with a given user that are to be attributed to the entity. | 06-14-2012 |
20120303462 | MIXING FIRST AND SECOND PRICE BIDS IN AN AUCTION - In one aspect, methods include receiving one or more first bids that have associated fixed prices, receiving one or more second bids that have dynamic prices that are adjusted at a time of auction in consideration of other bids in the auction, conducting an auction including pricing the one or more first bids and the one or more second bids, the one or more first bids being priced at their respective fixed prices and the one or more second bids being priced at respective amounts that maintain each second bid in a position marginally above a next-highest bid in the auction, and serving content based on one or more winning bids from the auction. | 11-29-2012 |
20130132201 | MANAGING REVENUE SHARING BIDS - A bid for a content slot from a content provider is received. The bid includes a revenue-sharing bid. It is determined that the bid is a winning bid and content is presented from the content provider in the content slot. Presentation details are logged that include a time when the content was presented. At a later time, an indication is received of an action, the indication including an indication that the action is responsive to the content having been presented previously. Based on the action, the content provider is charged an appropriate amount based on the revenue sharing bid. | 05-23-2013 |
20130339147 | CUSTOM CONTENT AND ADVERTISING - A device may select an advertisement in response to a search query, where the advertisement is selected based on a custom content search index. The device may further provide the selected advertisement for display with custom content search results generated based on the custom content search index. | 12-19-2013 |
20140337368 | Duplicate Content Search - A system may store information regarding a set of items of content, receive sample content from a user, determine whether the sample content matches content of one or more of the items of content, and notify the user whether the sample content matches one or more of the items of content without identifying the one or more items of content to the user. | 11-13-2014 |
