20140272826 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TARGETED STRENGTHENING OF BRAIN NETWORKS FOR FLUENT READING ACQUISITION - Systems and methods for targeted strengthening of brain networks for fluent reading acquisition are provided. A task is delivered to assess neuronal connectivity of working-memory-network areas of a brain of a subject. Weaknesses in neuronal connectivity between working-memory-network areas of the brain are identified based on the assessment. Based on the identified weaknesses, a training exercise is delivered to the subject to increase neuronal connectivity between the identified working-memory-network areas of the brain of the subject. | 09-18-2014 |

20110284547 | COLLAPSIBLE CUP - A collapsible cup has a base and a series of cylindrical body segments that together form a rigid cup body. The base includes a cylindrical base segment extending upwardly from the base and having an external thread. The series of cylindrical body segments are of graduated diameters which telescopically engage each other and the cylindrical base segment, and include an externally threaded upper portion, and an internal thread that extends the across all of an internal surface of each of the cylindrical body segments, such that each of the cylindrical body segments is threadedly engaged with and supported by either the external thread of the cylindrical base segment, or the externally threaded upper portion of one of the cylindrical body segments. | 11-24-2011 |
20140032297 | MOBILE DEVICE MEDIATED HANDLING OF REWARD POINTS REDEEMABLE TOWARDS LOCAL TRANSPORTATION - A method and system for generating, collecting and redeeming reward points. The reward points are redeemable for local transportation services such as taxi transportation. Generation comprises providing a reward code in conjunction with a receipt or bill associated with a qualifying transaction. Reward points are collected by entering the reward code into a mobile device application. A remote server tracks the collection of reward points. Reward points are shareable between users via the mobile device application. Reward points are redeemable via the application. | 01-30-2014 |

20140149230 | PROGRAMMATIC BUYING OF ONLINE DISPLAY ADVERTISEMENTS - Systems, media, and methods are provided to select advertisements for available impressions associated with a publisher's impression inventory. The selected advertisements may correspond to advertisement campaigns managed by buyers that seek to promote goods or services on web pages or media. The advertisement campaign is generated via an interface that receives a request for reserved or non-reserved portions of the publisher's impression inventory. The advertisement engine suggests a price for first chair access to the reserved portion or non-reserved portion via the interface. The advertisement engine selects advertisements based on the profiles of the advertisement campaigns. The profiles indicate placement preferences for advertisements and whether a portion of the impression inventory is reserved or non-reserved for the advertisement campaigns. The advertisement engine may provide remnant portions of the impression inventory to an advertisement exchange that receives bids for accessing the impressions of the remnant portions. | 05-29-2014 |
