20090206564Snow Glider With Elevated Chatter-Absorbing Rider Deck - A snow glider comprises a longitudinally-extending runner for supporting a rider on ridden snow and having a generally central, longitudinally-extending slot. The glider further comprises an elevated rider-supporting deck and chatter-absorbing means straddling the slot for supporting the deck above the runner. Preferably, the bottom surface of the runner is preferably generally convex across its width, with curved outer edges that provide directional control to the rider when turning, and at least one longitudinally-extending, generally straight longitudinally-extending inner edge adjacent the periphery of the slot for greater directional control when the rider is going straight. To enhance controllability, the deck of the preferred embodiment is preferably coupled to the runner near the runner's outer periphery so that the force exerted by the rider is transmitted from his/her feet directly to the outer edges of the runner. To further reduce frictional contact with the snow, the bottom surface of the runner is preferably dimpled.08-20-2009

20130030887CUSTOMER REWARD AND LOYALTY SYSTEM - Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for implementing a customer loyalty rewards program by assigning point values to a customer's completion of certain activities, monitoring the customer's activities to determine when the customer has completed an activity, crediting the customer the assigned value of points for the completed activities, correlating points to one or more rewards and facilitating the exchange of rewards.01-31-2013
20130030888SYSTEM FOR ALLOWING CUSTOMERS TO CHOOSE REWARDS - Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products for allowing a customer to choose rewards as part of a customer incentive program by receiving a first customer input, wherein the first customer input is a characteristic of the customer, receiving a second customer input, wherein the second customer input is a category of reward in which the customer is interested, correlating the first customer input to a plurality of activities to be completed by the customer, correlating the second customer input to rewards to be provided to the customer for completing an activity, monitoring the customer's activities to determine when the customer has completed an activity and providing a reward to the customer corresponding to the completed activity.01-31-2013
20130030925CONTEXT-AWARE MOBILE BANKING SOLUTION - A context-aware mobile banking system determines a location of a user of the mobile device, identifies at least one product of interest to the user based at least in part on the determined location of the user, determines based on the determined product of interest, information corresponding to the product of interest, and presents the information corresponding to the product of interest to the user. In some embodiments, the system retrieves user budgeting information including a plurality of budget categories each having an associated budget amount and an associated remaining amount indicating an amount remaining in from the budget amount, determines a budget category from the plurality of budget categories associated with the product of interest, and determines the budget amount and remaining amount associated with the determined budget category. The system then may present information corresponding to the remaining amount and the budget amount to the user.01-31-2013
20130030994BUDGET MONITOR, ALERT, AND BILL PAYMENT FACILITATION SYSTEM - A budget monitoring, alerting and bill payment facilitation system retrieves macro-budgeting information associated with a user, where the macro-budgeting information includes a plurality of budget categories each having an associated budget amount corresponding to a macro time period, divides the budget amount corresponding to the macro time period into a plurality of micro budget amounts corresponding to a plurality of micro time periods, and presents, to the user by a mobile device, micro-budgeting information corresponding to at least one of the plurality of micro budget amounts or its corresponding micro time period. In some embodiments, the system retrieves user data, determines the user may be experiencing a life event based on the user data, where the micro-budgeting information is based on the determination that the user may be experiencing a life event, and confirms that the user is experiencing a life event.01-31-2013

20120091336SEM ACTUATED LEVITATION DEVICES - A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device is configured to be actuated directly by an energy field through Coulombic interactions to have a translational motion. The MEMS device can be untethered, and actuated by irradiating an actuator with the energy field thereby building up electrical charges on the actuator. The MEMS device can thus be actuated with Coulomb forces from the built up electrical charges to suspend a movable portion over a rail. In one example, the energy field includes an electron beam from a scanning electron microscope (SEM).04-19-2012

20100284605Methodology to Optimize and Provide Streaming Object Rotation Using Composite Images - Optimizing and presenting various sequences of images and/or photographs for viewing with a Web browser, is accomplished without the necessity of loading the entire image set, for example in connection with the 3D display of a product of interest. To represent an object that is rotating, a set of images must be taken. These images are taken at various angles, typically using either using a fixed camera or a turntable. The illusion of an object being rotated is created when the captured images based on the angle being viewed are displayed. To ensure a seamless rotation of an object, a technique is taught that significantly concentrates on reducing the loading time of the captured images by prioritizing which images should be transferred first according to their size, and their number of object views or view angles. A seamless rotation is thus achieved while less than the total number of images is loaded. In fact, an embodiment of the invention teaches that, by selectively loading certain images with specific angular values, it is possible to achieve an object rotation, i.e. using horizontal and vertical adjacent images positioning.11-11-2010
