| 20110178960 | SMART QUEUING METHOD AND SYSTEM - The present disclosure presents a novel approach to customer queuing, customer relationship tracking, and/or directed advertising. Customers may be notified by text message or by cell phone call when they reach the head of the line, and they may respond to the automated notification. The venue collects key contact information from its patrons that can be used to connect with them at a later time. The present disclosure eliminates reliance on expensive pager systems, allows customers to roam more freely, and gives hosts and hostesses more freedom in acquiring and disposing of customers. The system is also configurable to the venue's attributes some examples of which include smoking/non-smoking, inside/outside, number of tables, and wait time algorithms for customer wait time prediction. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20090213083 | SIMULATION OF MULTI-POINT GESTURES WITH A SINGLE POINTING DEVICE - This relates to allowing a computer system using a single pointing device to simulate multi-point gesture inputs. Simulating software can receive single pointing inputs (such as, for example, input from a mouse) and convert them to simulated multi-point gesture inputs such as finger pinches, reverse pinches, translations, rotation, and the like. The simulating software can also allow the user to use keyboard keys to give the user additional control when generating the multi-point gesture inputs. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20080292975 | Device manufacturing method, method of making a mask, and mask - In a lithographic device manufacturing method, sub-resolution assist features are provided to equalize the intensities of the diffraction orders that form the image of the pattern on the substrate. In the case of bright lines against a dark field used with a positive tone resist for forming trenches at or near resolution, the assist features may comprise narrow lines equidistantly between the feature lines. In this way an improvement of exposure latitude may be obtained without reduction of DOF. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20110109043 | Wagering Game Based on Bayes' Theorem - A method to implement a casino card game. After the player places an ante wager, the dealer can deal three cards and the player selects a player selected card and the dealer randomly selects a dealer selected card. The goal for both the player and the dealer is to pick the highest (or strongest) card. The dealer will then reveal the lowest (or weakest) of the two remaining cards that are not the dealer selected card. The player can then place an optional raise wager, and the dealer may randomly switch the dealer selected card. All three cards are then revealed, and if the player picked the highest (strongest) card and the dealer did not pick the highest (strongest) card, then the player wins a payout on the ante wager and any raise wager placed. If the dealer picked the highest (strongest) card and the player did not pick the highest (strongest) card, then the player loses his or her ante wager and any raise wager placed. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110315571 | COMBINATION TOOTHPICK AND MINT DISPENSER - A combination toothpick and mint dispenser. On a bottom end of the dispenser is a toothpick. On a top end (opposite the bottom end) is a chamber which is used to hold solid mints or liquid refreshment (such as mouthwash). In an embodiment, a shaft connecting the chamber to the toothpick can be hollow, thereby allowing liquid refreshment to pass from the chamber through a bottom of the shaft and out of the dispenser. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20100191582 | USER INTERFACE AND METHODS FOR RECOMMENDING ITEMS TO USERS - An improved user interfaces and methods are provided for presenting item recommendations to a user when the user selects an item to add to a shopping cart. In response to the user's selection, a page generation process generates and returns a page that includes a plurality of recommendations sections, each of which displays item recommendations generated using a different respective recommendation or selection algorithm (e.g., recommendations based on shopping cart contents, recommendations based on purchase history, etc.). These recommendation algorithms may be selected based on collected information regarding the user. The page may also include a shopping cart section which displays contents of the shopping cart. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100191619 | USER INTERFACE AND METHODS FOR RECOMMENDING ITEMS TO USERS - Improved user interfaces and methods are provided for presenting item recommendations to a user when the user selects an item to add to an electronic shopping cart. In response to the user's selection, a page generation process generates and returns a page that includes a condensed shopping cart portion and a recommendations portion. The condensed shopping cart portion displays the contents of the shopping cart, but omits some of the item information and/or controls provided on a shopping cart page, thereby preserving more screen real estate for the display of item recommendations. The condensed shopping cart portion also includes a link to the shopping cart page. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20110288930 | SERVICE FOR ACCEPTING AND SELECTIVELY EXPOSING USER-GENERATED LISTS - An interactive system enables users to generate and submit lists of items (e.g., products) for viewing by other users. The user-generated lists are selectively suggested to users of the system based on their respective behaviors, such as their item viewing activities, searches, and/or item purchases. The system may monitor the behaviors of users who access particular user-generated lists, and based on the monitored behaviors, generate measures of the effectiveness of particular lists (e.g., effectiveness at driving item purchases). The measures of effectiveness may be considered in selecting particular lists to suggest. | 11-24-2011 |
