Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110055817PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT TOOL HAVING UNIFIED ANALYSIS REPORT - An improved method is provided for identifying a cause of a performance problem experienced by an application in a computing environment. To help a user find and isolate the problem quicker, the method proposes a unified performance analysis report that presents the most likely indicators of the source of the performance problem. The report presents performance metrics for the software services used by the application and charts the metric values over time since it is often the change in a metric that indicates a problem. Each metric chart should also include an indicator for the state of service for the application. This will help the user correlate metrics from multiple sources to the time period in which the application experienced a problem.03-03-2011

20100277321RFID Detection System and Methods for Enhanced Marketing - Systems and methods are disclosed for interactively marketing product information to an end user by monitoring the three-dimensional position of a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag associated with an object within and around a merchandising display. The system includes a detector/reader incorporating circuitry for detecting changes in the three-dimensional position of an RFID tag from the detector/reader and for triggering the display of information relative to the product if a detected change in the three-dimensional “read zone” position is detected. The systems as described herein may be used to interactively display marketing material relative to a chosen object, or cross-sell related objects.11-04-2010

20110112787SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING LOCATIONS OF BURIED OBJECTS - A method is provided for reporting location of a buried object detected by a utility locator device. The method includes: determining location of a buried object using electromagnetic field emissions emitted from a utility locator device, determining global coordinates for the location of the buried object using a global positioning system (GPS), determining an accuracy measure for the global coordinates using the accuracy of the location determined by the locator and the accuracy of the GPS; and reporting the global coordinates for the buried object, along with the accuracy measure, to an operator of the utility locator device. An operator of the locator may be notified when the accuracy measure for the global coordinates exceeds a tolerance for reporting the location of the buried object.05-12-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090260914ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ROTATION ISOLATOR - A steering column assembly includes a column jacket extending along a longitudinal axis and a steering shaft rotatably supported by the column jacket. A power assist module includes a housing coupled to the column jacket and a motor. The motor applies a torque to the steering shaft. An isolator connection interconnects the housing and the column jacket to permit rotational flexure of the power assist module relative to the column jacket, i.e., the power assist module may rotate relative to the column jacket, thereby preventing undesirable rotation of a lever mounted to the column jacket in response to the motor applying the torque to the steering shaft.10-22-2009

20080320139SOCIAL MOBILIZED CONTENT SHARING - A mobile device, system, and method are directed towards identifying and employing social agents within a social network for distribution of multimedia content virally over mobile devices. The social agent may identify one or more multimedia content items for distribution. The social agent may also identify recipients of the viral distributions, or the recipients may be automatically identified based on the social network. The recipients may receive a message that enables them to access a playlist of the social agent's multimedia content. The playlist may be associated with a card display that displays information about the social agent on one side. The recipient may then ‘flip’ the card to display the playlist. Playing of a selection in the playlist may then enable the social agent to receive a reward. The recipient may also distribute the social agent's playlist to another recipient, thus virally distributing multimedia content within the social network.12-25-2008
20090055857VIDEO CHANNEL CURATION - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a schedule of videos is received from a curator, wherein the curator is involved in displaying videos on a web page and the schedule is a list of videos to be displayed on the web page. One or more advertisements are matched to the schedule of videos, wherein the matching is based at least partially upon the content of videos within the schedule of videos or information about the schedule of videos. Then a video stream containing videos from the schedule of videos is integrated into the web page, along with the one or more advertisements.02-26-2009
20090113022FACILITATING MUSIC COLLABORATIONS AMONG REMOTE MUSICIANS - Disclosed are apparatus and methods for facilitating music collaboration between remote musicians (or the like) are provided. In general, mechanisms for facilitating live music collaborations or “jam sessions” over a computer network. These mechanisms allow musicians to perform from remote locations via one or more computer networks. Each musician is able to receive live video feeds from each of the other musicians during such jam session. Other computer users may form members of an audience who also receive such live video feeds from the musicians participating in the live jam session. The audience members may also receive a mixed audio feed of the audio streams from all of the participating musicians. Various features for enhancing such live jam session are described further herein.04-30-2009
