| 20120023214 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STATE TRANSITION OF A LOAD CONTROLLER DEVICE - A method of facilitating wireless communications between a load controller device and a network component is described. The method can include the step of transitioning the load controller device from a peer-to-peer state in which the load controller device can receive initialization information to a provisioned state in which the load controller device connects to the network component using the initialization information. If there is a disruption in the connection between the load controller device and the network component in the provisioned state, the load controller device can be forced back to the peer-to-peer state from the provisioned state to enable the load controller device to receive new initialization information for reestablishment of the connection between the load controller device and the network component or for establishment of another connection between the load controller device and a different network component. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120024733 | PROTECTIVE ELEMENT AND SUPPORT STRUCTURE - A protective apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a protective element for positioning over at least a portion of a device to protect the device in a first configuration. A support structure integral with the protective element also forms part of the apparatus. The support structure is configured to support the device in a second configuration. In one arrangement, the protective element includes a first surface and a second surface in which the first surface is configured to be at least partially positioned over and to face the device in the first configuration. The second surface is positioned opposite to the first surface and is configured to be exposed to the environment external to the device in the first configuration. In another arrangement, the support structure includes a slot that runs along the second surface in which the slot is configured to receive the device in the second configuration. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20110213255 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR NON-INVASIVELY MEASURING HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS - Improved apparatus and methods for non-invasively assessing one or more hemodynamic parameters associated with the circulatory system of a living organism. In one aspect, the invention comprises apparatus adapted to accurately place and maintain a sensor (e.g., tonometric pressure sensor) with respect to the anatomy of the subject, including an alignment apparatus which is separable from an adjustable fixture. The apparatus moveably captures the sensor to, inter alia, facilitate-coupling thereof to an actuator used to position the sensor during measurements. In a second aspect, improved sensor apparatus is disclosed adapted to minimize the effects of shear during sensor movement and monitoring as well as maximize the lateral and proximal search area available to the sensor within the apparatus. Methods for positioning the alignment apparatus and sensor are also disclosed. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20100006639 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING LOYALTY PROGRAM INFORMATION ON A PHONE - A system for managing token image replacement is provided. The system includes a remote server, a token acceptance device, such as a personal computer (PC), connected to the remote server, a token, such as a phone, that can be read by the PC, and a token image server. Using application logic and rules, the remote server is able to read the token image on the token and determine if the image on the phone needs to be updated. The remote server forwards a backup token image to the PC which, in turn, writes the backup token image including transaction information to the phone. Once the backup token image is written onto the phone, subsequent interactions with the system would not initiate an update. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20090299671 | INTELLIGENT SATURATION CONTROL FOR COMPOUND SPECIFIC OPTIMIZATION OF MRM - Mass spectrometer parameters used to tune a mass spectrometer for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) are determined from a single injection of a sample. Two or more precursor ion scans and a plurality of product ion scans for each precursor ion scan are performed from the injection. Each precursor ion scan is produced with different mass spectrometer parameters that create a different level of ion current. The mass spectra of the precursor ion scans are analyzed to determine if saturation has occurred in any of the precursor ion scans. A precursor ion scan that produces the highest ion current with the least amount of saturation is selected. The mass spectrometer parameters used to tune the mass spectrometer for MRM are determined from (1) the mass spectrometer parameters of the selected precursor ion scan and (2) the mass spectrometer parameters of product ion scans from fragments of the selected precursor ion scan. | 12-03-2009 |

| 20120066275 | CREATING A DATABASE THAT STORES INFORMATION ABOUT INDIVIDUAL HABITABLE UNITS - Techniques for creating and searching a database that stores information about a plurality of individual habitable units (IHUs) are provided. An example of an IHU is a hotel room. Image data that depicts where a plurality of IHUs reside relative to each other is placed on a base image, such as a satellite/map image. The base image is associated with a mapping that maps points on the base image to spatial (e.g., geographical) coordinates. The coordinates of the IHU may be used to generate a computer-rendered view from a window of an IHU. Also, label input is received that labels each IHU reflected in the image data with certain information. Each label indicates a value of an attribute of an IHU, such as its size, price, distance from elevators, etc. A query that targets information about each IHU may be processed and results returned that are ranked based on criteria associated with the query. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20090171784 | Method and apparatus for splitting advertising opportunities - A dynamic advertising insertion system automatically inserts advertisements in response to opportunities that arise in the course of content playback. For example, when a user hits a pause button, an advertising opportunity may be created and an appropriate advertisement may be inserted. One basis for determining which advertisement to insert is to enforce a predetermined agreement between a content provider and one or more distributors that sets forth a percentage of advertising opportunities that each entity will be afforded. Thus, the decision of what advertisement to insert may be based on a number of factors, including the type of content, the particular user's equipment, information about the user, and the need to adjust the playback of advertisements to enforce the percentage split between the advertising entities. | 07-02-2009 |
