| 20110087526 | Social Network Economy Using Gift Credits - In a social networking system environment, users can give another user credits, a scarce commodity, as part of commenting on content posted by the other user. These credits can be used as a peer-to-peer recommendation signal, and they can also be used as input to a decision engine that determines what content to display in a highlights section that will be viewed by a wider audience and increasing the likelihood of further engagement with the content. Credits in a social networking system environment have scarcity value. In various embodiments, in order to increase the number of credits in the system, users buy them or an administrator distributes them. In some implementations, the total amount of credits in the system can decrease if a user cashes out the credits for real money. In some implementations, credits can be used to buy virtual or real-world gifts. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20120022981 | CREATION, REDEMPTION, AND ACCOUNTING IN A VIRTUAL CURRENCY SYSTEM - A virtual currency system keeps track of virtual credits, which can be owned, transferred, purchased, and sold by participants in a virtual economy. Each virtual credit has an internal value and an external value, which define, respectively, the exchange rates for creating and redeeming the virtual credits. Upon creation of new virtual credits, the internal value for those credits is the rate for which real currency was paid per credit. The external value sets the rate at which the virtual credits can be redeemed for real currency. Each virtual credit may further have a face value, which is an apparent value of the virtual credit within the virtual economy, giving users a baseline impression for valuing the virtual currency. These features of the virtual currency enable a number of useful actions within the virtual economy, including currency seeding, couponing, and chargebacks. | 01-26-2012 |

| 20110106630 | USER FEEDBACK-BASED SELECTION AND PRIORITIZING OF ONLINE ADVERTISEMENTS - Advertisements to be presented to a user are selected based on feedback responses received from other users where the feedback responses represent the level of interest to the advertisements expressed by the other users. In selecting which advertisements to be presented to a user, the online service takes into account feedback responses previously collected from a group of users and revenue expected for presenting certain advertisements to the user. An online service computing device computes a total value of an advertisement based on an estimated revenue value for presenting an advertisement and a modifier representing the user's estimated interest in the advertisements. The online service then selects or prioritizes the advertisements based on the total values. Advertisements with more positive feedback responses and/or less negative feedback responses tend to have higher total values, and therefore, such advertisements are more likely to be selected for presentation to the users. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20110074194 | Car Seat Installation and Recline Mechanism - A car seat has a base for placement on a vehicle seat and a seat shell attachable to and detachable from the base. A latch mechanism is biased to a latched arrangement attaching the shell to the base. A release actuator is connected to the latch mechanism and can move the latch mechanism to a released arrangement, detaching the shell from the base permitting its removal from the base. The shell can be optionally adjustable on the base between at least two different recline positions. The latch mechanism in the latched arrangement can then also retain the shell in one of the recline positions. A recline actuator can be connected to the latch mechanism and can move the latch mechanism allowing adjustment of the shell recline position but not permitting removal from the base. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20090067159 | SAFETY HARNESS - A novel safety harness is disclosed. The safety harness has straps for securing upon a subject. Arranged around the straps are several light emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs are driven by pulses of current that exceed the power rating of the LED, but the current is driven for a very short period of time, such that the LEDs are not destroyed. These LEDs blink when turned on and emit substantially more light than is typically found in LEDs, such that the subject is visible from a distance of up to two thousand feet. Multiple safety harnesses may be strapped together, allowing the safety device to be used in a variety of settings, both for human and non-human subjects. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100070097 | REMOTELY CONTROLLED FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM - Method and apparatus for remotely controlling a fire protection system for buildings. This method of fire protection uses a wireless or wired control system to remotely activate a fire protection system by sending it an activation signal or activation message wherein one or more commands can configure the system with specified operation instructions. The system utilizes roof top sprinklers and may additionally utilize existing irrigation systems or additional zones only used during the prevention of wildfires to wet down area in advance of fires. The system can be controlled by various municipal fire authorities that are given the authority to control fires. Immediate control of the system is always available to the transmitting authority. When activated, the central processor communicates to the authority that activated the fire protection system. The central processor transmits information back to the transmitting authority such as but not limited to water flow confirmation, water pressure, air temperature, roof temperature, wind direction, humidity and still or live images of the protected property. | 03-18-2010 |
