20090094175 | INTRUSIVE SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT - Intrusion features of a landing page associated with sponsored content are identified. A feature score for the landing page based on the identified intrusion features is generated, and if the feature score for the landing page exceeds a feature threshold, the landing page is classified as a candidate landing page. A sponsor account associated with the candidate landing page can be suspended, or sponsored content associated with the candidate landing page can be suspended. | 04-09-2009 |
20090094697 | INTRUSIVE SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT - Landing pages associated with advertisements are partitioned into training landing pages and testing landing pages. Iterative training and testing of a classification mode on intrusion features of the partitioned landing pages is conducted until the occurrence of a cessation event. Feature weights are derived from the iterative training and testing, and are associated with the intrusion features. The associated feature weights and intrusion features can be used to classify other landing pages. | 04-09-2009 |
20100304640 | Distributed System of Autonomously Controlled Toy Vehicles - A toy system includes a drivable surface that includes location encoding markings. A toy vehicle or mobile agent is provided that includes a drive motor, an imaging system for taking images of the markings, a vehicle wireless transceiver, and a microcontroller operatively coupled to the motor, the imaging system, and the vehicle wireless transceiver. A basestation is provided that includes a controller operatively coupled to a basestation wireless transceiver. Via wireless communication between the wireless transceivers of the toy vehicle and the basestation, an action to be implemented by the toy vehicle can be determined by the basestation and communicated to the toy vehicle, whereupon the microcontroller of the toy vehicle controls detailed movement of the toy vehicle on the drivable surface based on images taken of the markings of the drivable surface by the imaging system to cause the toy vehicle to implement the action on the drivable surface. | 12-02-2010 |

20140017974 | DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM OF AUTONOMOUSLY CONTROLLED MOBILE AGENTS - A system includes a drivable surface that includes location encoding markings. A mobile agent is provided that is capable of assuming a plurality of different lateral positions while traveling along the surface. The mobile agent includes a drive motor, an imaging system, a vehicle wireless transceiver, and a microcontroller. The mobile agent is adapted to detect the markings as the mobile agent travels along the surface, to ascertain a current lateral position of the mobile agent with respect to the surface, and to maintain a substantially consistent lateral position of the mobile agent with respect to the surface (for example to follow a lane). A basestation may be provided that includes a controller operatively coupled to a basestation wireless transceiver. An action to be implemented by the mobile agent can be determined by the basestation and wirelessly communicated to the mobile agent. | 01-16-2014 |

20130324250 | INTEGRATION OF A ROBOTIC SYSTEM WITH ONE OR MORE MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICES - A robotic system is integrated with one or more mobile computing devices. Physical configurations of individual components of the system in physical space, or agents, under control of a user or users, are duplicated in a representation in virtual space. Some degree of real-time parity is maintained between the physical and virtual spaces, so as to implement a virtual environment that mirrors the physical one. Events occurring within one environment can directly influence and bear consequence on the course of events occurring within the other environment. Elements of virtual space thereby become truly interdependent and unified on a peer footing with elements in physical space. In at least one embodiment, the system of the present invention is implemented as an application in entertainment, such as the manifestation of a video game in physical space. | 12-05-2013 |
