20090185966 | PREPARATION AND MANUFACTURE OF AN OVERLAYER FOR DEACTIVATION RESISTANT PHOTOCATALYSTS - A photocatalyst system for volatile organic compounds with two parts that include a photocatalyst layer on a substrate and a porous overlayer. The photocatalyst layer is reactive with volatile organic compounds when UV light is projected on it. The overlayer is situated on the photocatalyst layer. The overlayer is UV transparent and has an interconnected pore network that allows contaminated air to pass through the overlayer. The size and the shape of the interconnected pores acts to selectively exclude certain contaminants that can deactivate the photocatalyst. | 07-23-2009 |
20110027138 | Photocatalytic Device With Mixed Photocatalyst/Silica Structure - A catalytic device comprises a mixed structure of photocatalyst and silica. The mixed structure may be comprised of alternating layers of photocatalyst and silica, a layer having a uniform mixture of photocatalyst particles and silica particles, or a layer having a graded mixture of photocatalyst particles and silica particles. | 02-03-2011 |

20100046729 | Delivery of Call Features to a User Device Via a Multimedia Terminal Adapter - Described herein are systems and methods for providing call features of a telephone service to a user device, such as a television set top box or a personal computer, by using a multimedia terminal adapter to establish a first network connection with a call management server (CMS) and a second network connection with an application server associated with the user device so as to receive and forward call features and requests for such call features between the CMS and the user device without the need for an interface between the CMS and the application server. | 02-25-2010 |
20130191874 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION RESOURCE INFORMATION - A system for communicating resource information may include a resource reservation proxy module to receive a first signal including resource request information. The resource reservation proxy module may be associated with a first environment associated with a requesting application. The resource reservation proxy module may process the received resource request information into a resource request packet, and communicate the resource request packet utilizing an environmentally independent communication protocol. A resource reservation handler module may receive the communicated resource request packet. The resource reservation handler module may be associated with a second environment associated with a resource management application. The resource reservation handler module may process the received resource request packet into a second signal including the resource request information. | 07-25-2013 |

20120221551 | AUGMENTING SEARCH RESULTS - Results of a search on one body of data may be enhanced by performing the same search, or a related search, on another body of data. In one example, the first body of data is pages (or other content) on a web site, and the second body of data is pages (or other content) on another web site. When a user enters a query to perform a site-specific search on the first web site, that web site may then perform a related search on the second web site. When results are obtained from the second web site, it may be determined whether the first web site has any pages that correspond to the received results. The first web site may then use its corresponding pages in the results that it provides to the user. | 08-30-2012 |
20120330948 | MULTI-PART SEARCH RESULT RANKING - Search results responsive to a query are generated by a search engine. If the query is “location relevant”, the results are provided to a ranker component. If the query is an entity search, then entities matching the query are ranked by distance from the user. If the query is not, and if it is not semantically charged, the entities are ranked either according to distance from the user or by search relevance. If the query is semantically charged, a semantic score is calculated for each entity. One or more threshold semantic scores are determined that divide the search results into multiple parts. The results within each part can then be ranked independently. The results within a first part are ranked according to their distance from the user, while the results in a subsequent part are ranked according to their semantical relationship to the query. The re-ranked parts are concatenated together. | 12-27-2012 |
20130036137 | CREATING AND EDITING USER SEARCH QUERIES - Systems and methods are provided for creating and modifying search queries. A query can be constructed by allowing a user to select from categories, facets, and/or facet values for addition to a query. A user can optionally supplement the categories, facets, and/or facet values with additional search terms entered by the user. The constructed query can then be submitted to a search engine to identify documents that match the search query. The systems and methods can allow a user to construct a search query using a reduced number of user input actions while still providing a user with the flexibility to enter any search terms desired by the user. | 02-07-2013 |

20110296349 | RECENT CONTACTS AND ITEMS - The present invention provides a method and system of displaying items that gives the user the ability to easily access recently accessed items. The recent items list includes both incoming and outgoing correspondences that are attempted to be matched to the corresponding contact stored in the device. The user can access the recent contact list and reply using any communication method available. For instance, the user could reply by phone, email, send an instant messenger message, send an SMS message, and the like. The recent items list may also include items such as communications, contacts, folder, files, messages, applications, and the like. A coalesced list of the recently used items is shown so that an item is only shown once in the recent list. Any matched item in the recent list may also be shown in the alphabetical list that appears below the recent list. | 12-01-2011 |
