| 20090307003 | SOCIAL ADVERTISEMENT NETWORK - Activity systems and methods for social networks are provided in which user activities are gathered and matched with advertisers and/or publishers and displayed by publishers. Paid links or units can also be attached to these displayed user activities to provide revenue to the user, advertiser and/or publisher. The gathering and matching may be enhanced by a message classifier and an optimizer. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100293170 | SOCIAL NETWORK MESSAGE CATEGORIZATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods of identifying and categorizing social network messages that are relevant to selected categories and text terms are provided. The frequency of text terms appearing in social network messages are calculated for multiple categories. Based on the calculated text term frequency, social network messages can be identified and/or categorized that match a provided set of text terms. Selecting and/or associating text terms and categories are determined by repeatedly analyzing social network messages. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110093455 | SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF SHORT MESSAGES UTILIZING MESSAGING CONTEXT AND KEYWORD FREQUENCY - Systems and methods of identifying and retrieving messages that satisfy a search query using the context of the message and term frequencies are provided. One embodiment includes identifying at least one category relevant to the search query, wherein a plurality of scored keywords are associated with each category, selecting at least one of the scored keywords that is relevant to an identified category, performing a plurality of searches of messages from a social networking messaging service to retrieve messages, where at least one search includes retrieving messages based on the original search query and one of the selected scored keywords, scoring the retrieved messages with respect to each of the at least one identified categories using at least the scored keywords relevant to each category, and returning at least the message with the highest score as the search result. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20090097800 | Multi-Fiber Ferrules for Making Physical Contact and Method of Determining Same - A multi-fiber ferrule and optical fibers therein make easier contact with other multi-fiber ferrules and connectors with a small fiber tip radius and a modulus of elasticity. A method for qualifying multi-fiber ferrules (and connectors) is also disclosed. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090191738 | Connector Assembly Having A Movable Plug - A connector assembly configured to connect a plug body into a receiving module of an electrical device is provided. The connector assembly has a cable end and a plug end and a cable channel extending therethrough. The connector assembly includes an inner body having and an outer housing that is coupled to and surrounds at least a portion of the inner body. The outer housing is configured to attach to the electrical device. The connector assembly further includes a plug having the plug body and at least one cable conductor extending through the cable channel and connecting to the plug body. The plug body is held near or within the inner body and is movable from a first position near or within the inner body to a second position engaged with the receiving module. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090191750 | Connector Assembly Having A Slider Element - A connector assembly is provided that has a plug end and a cable end and is configured to insert a plug that is coupled to a cable into a receiving module of an electrical device. The connector assembly includes an inner body that has a cable channel extending in an axial direction between the plug end and the cable end. The connector assembly also includes a slider element that is configured to hold a plug proximate to the plug end. The slider element is held by and movable along the inner body in an axial direction. The connector assembly further includes an outer housing that surrounds the inner body and the slider element. The outer housing is movable in the axial direction with respect to the inner body and the slider element, and the outer housing is also configured to attach to the electrical device. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20100080002 | COLOR HOMOGENIZING OPTICAL ASSEMBLY - An optical assembly includes a light source and an optical element. The light source generates light where the color of the light varies based on the direction the light is emitted from the light source. The optical element is positioned transverse to the optical axis and is configured to mix the light. The color of the light mixed by the optical element is substantially independent of the direction at which the light emanates from the optical element. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100189395 | EXPANDED BEAM CONNECTOR - An optical connector comprising: (a) a lens; (b) a ferrule assembly comprising a ferrule with an endface and at least one fiber in the ferrule having a fiber end presented at the endface; (c) a housing for holding the ferrule assembly and the lens in a certain axial and radial relationship; and (d) a glass element having a first and second surface, the first surface affixed to the endface such that it is in physical contact with the fiber end, the second surface having an AR coating and defining a space between it and the lens. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20110096404 | EXPANDED BEAM INTERFACE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING SAME - An optoelectronic device comprising a gradient index lens having an optical length, L, wherein L=P/4+NP/2, where N is an integer equal to or greater than 0 and P is the pitch of the gradient index lens. If the desired focus spot is spaced from the end face of the gradient index lens, the optical length L can be adjusted accordingly as a function of that distance and the index of refraction of the medium occupying that distance. | 04-28-2011 |
