20100075630 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING CREDIT FOR SUBSCRIBERS OF MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES - A technique for managing credit for subscribers of mobile communications services involves using a mobile credit intermediary to manage the credit in a way that makes the credit more fungible than traditional prepaid mobile subscription plans. In an embodiment, the mobile credit intermediary maintains a credit pool that reflects pooled credit of a group of multiple different mobile subscribers and then incrementally purchases, using the credit pool, prepaid mobile minutes in quantities that reflect anticipated consumption of mobile communications services by the group. The incremental purchases are made in increments that are smaller than the balance of the credit pool such that credit remains in individual credit accounts of the mobile subscribers. The credit that remains in the individual credit accounts can be used as a currency for other transactions, for example, for the purchase of goods and services from entities other than the mobile network operator. | 03-25-2010 |

20110073406 | Acoustic Silencer - A resonator is disclosed which includes: a sleeve insert and an outer duct sealingly coupled to the sleeve insert. The sleeve insert has a wall with a first aperture in the wall at a first axial distance, a second aperture in the wall at a second axial distance, and a rib extending radially outwardly with the rib located between the first and second apertures. The outer duct sealingly couples to the sleeve insert proximate first and second ends of the inner sleeve and at the rib. The sleeve insert and the outer duct are formed of plastic materials which are coupled by welding or via o-rings placed on the sleeve insert. Cavities, in the vicinity of the apertures, are formed in the outer duct. The cavities, which are fluidly coupled to the sleeve insert via the apertures, attenuate noise. | 03-31-2011 |
20110074067 | Manufacture Of An Acoustic Silencer - A method for manufacturing a resonator is disclosed in which a sleeve insert is placed into a fixture within a blow molding apparatus. The sleeve insert has a wall with a first plurality of apertures in the wall at a first axial distance and a second plurality of apertures in the wall at a second axial distance. A parison is slid over the sleeve insert; the mold is clamped over the parison causing the parison to press into the sleeve insert at three locations: near the ends of the sleeve insert and at a location between the pluralities of apertures; and air is blown into the sleeve insert, via a blow pin, to expand the parison into the walls of the mold to form cavities proximate the first and second pluralities of aperatures. After cooling, the mold opens to release the newly formed resonator. | 03-31-2011 |

20140152870 | CAMERA - An example of a camera includes an optical element moving between first and second focus positions upon application of an electrical signal, a sensor capturing first and second images transmitted by the optical element in the respective first and second focus positions, a first storage location recording first images and a second storage location recording second images, and a screen simultaneously displaying a most recent first image from the first storage cation and a most recent second image from the second storage location. Another example of a camera includes the optical element and sensor, as well as a processor to: control timing of application of an electrical signal to the optical element to regulate changing of the optical element between first and second focus positions, synchronize capture by the sensor of first and second images, and control streaming of most recent first and second images for simultaneous viewing. | 06-05-2014 |
20140250125 | IDENTIFYING AN INCIDENT-ADDRESSING STEP - Relationships among incident-addressing steps, applications, and incidents are determined, based on information relating to the applications and the incidents. For addressing a given incident that occurred with respect to a particular application, at least one incident-addressing step is identified using the determined relationships. | 09-04-2014 |

20150256630 | UNUSED LOCATION DISCRIMINATOR - Instrumentalities are effective to at least provide a user interface to a mobile device of the user for finding an unused space, among a plurality of spaces, according to a user-selected criteria, wherein the user interface is transmitted via a wireless protocol agreed during the wireless handshake; and in response, presenting the mobile device with first unused spaces meeting the user-selected criteria. Further, an access point may receive a problem space indication from the user concerning at least one of the unused spaces which associates a problem to the at least one of the unused spaces, thereby forming a problem space, and in response, second presenting a second at least one unused space to the mobile device without the problem space, wherein the second unused spaces are presented in order of nearness to a current user location. | 09-10-2015 |

20080270055 | ANALOG SYSTEM FOR COMPUTING SPARSE CODES - A parallel dynamical system for computing sparse representations of data, i.e., where the data can be fully represented in terms of a small number of non-zero code elements, and for reconstructing compressively sensed images. The system is based on the principles of thresholding and local competition that solves a family of sparse approximation problems corresponding to various sparsity metrics. The system utilizes Locally Competitive Algorithms (LCAs), nodes in a population continually compete with neighboring units using (usually one-way) lateral inhibition to calculate coefficients representing an input in an over complete dictionary. | 10-30-2008 |
