20090150349DYNAMIC GEOGRAPHICAL SPATIAL SEARCH - A method for performing a dynamic spatial search for points of interest proximal to a path of travel of a moving user. As the user moves along a path, a search is regularly conducted to provide updated information about points of interest for the user. The method includes automatically detecting a position of the user. One or more attributes of the user's movement and/or of a vicinity around the position of the user are detected. To provide the updated search information a new search region is determined based on the user's position and the one or more detected attributes. The new search region is compared to the previously determined search region to determine an overlap region that the two have in common. Search results from the overlap region are reused as part of point of interest search results for the current search region. New point of interest search results are calculated only for a portion of the new search region outside of the overlap region. Preferably, search results from the previously determined search region that are outside of the overlap are no longer needed and are discarded.06-11-2009

20080265571ANTI-ROTATION PIPE LOCATOR AND HOLDER - A plumbing strap is fastened to a building. A tubular insert is placed through a hole in a strap with posts on the tubular insert aligning with cut-outs in the strap to restrict rotation of the tubular insert relative to the strap. A flange on one end of the tubular insert abuts the strap to restrict longitudinal motion of the tubular insert.

A collar is placed over the tubular insert and a pipe extends through the tubular insert and collar. The tubular insert has a base adjacent the flange and a skirt distal from the flange. Longitudinal slits in the base and skirt define resilient members in the base and in the skirt that extend in opposing directions, but that can move inward. The collar screws onto the tubular insert causing abutting surfaces on the collar and on the resilient members to force the resilient members inward to grip the pipe and restrain longitudinal and rotational movement of the pipe relative to the tubular insert and strap.10-30-2008
20090026328SHOWER BRACKET - A mounting bracket connects a water pipe fastened to an eared fitting to a support bar in a building. The bracket has an isolator made of a material selected to substantially reduce the transmission of noise and wrapped around the support bar. The bracket has a stiff shell wrapped around a periphery of the support bar and has two opposing ends. The shell is sized to clamp the isolator against the support bar during use as the ends are moved toward each other with sufficient force that there is a tight clamp resulting in little relative movement between the shell and the support during use. The shell has a mounting portion for the eared fitting. The bracket also has a fastening mechanism to hold the ends together and to fasten the eared fitting to the mounting portion during use of the bracket. The fastening mechanism clamps the ends together to restrain relative movement of the shell and support bar. For telescoping support bars an adaptor is interposed between the isolator and the smaller, inner telescoping member of the support bar to make the support bar a uniform size at the location of the bracket.01-29-2009

20110016481Electronic Information Request Card Generation and Transmittal System - An electronic information card generation and transmittal system generates audience member or user initiated electronic information request cards. Such electronic information request cards (EIRCs) enable broadcasters, network operators, advertisers and program producers to capture and take advantage of the impulse purchase urges, as indicated by the generation of an information request, of the audience members for converting those urges into purchases or information sharing. For example, a network provider/broadcaster notifies an audience member of eligibility to participate in the facility of the system. The audience member signs up to participate in the facility by registering the system for that user. Upon viewing or listening to a program or commercial of interest, the audience member initiates an EIRC through a user interface. The system bundles the user identification with program definition and a system time stamp to form the EIRC, which is sent to an appropriate entity to execute follow-up information delivery.01-20-2011
