20160092944 | PROXIMITY ALERTS FOR SERVICE RESOURCE AVAILABILITY - Provided are a system and method of electronic notification of an availability of a service resource. A signal is received from a sensor indicating that a customer has entered a region proximate to a store. The customer is determined to be a candidate for a service. A service resource is determined to be available at or near the store for performing the service. A notification is sent to a display of the availability of the service resource. | 03-31-2016 |

20090265186 | System and Method for Communicating Environmentally-Based Medical Advice - A method and system for delivering advice to patients suffering from respiratory conditions based on changes in environment, such as weather or air quality changes. This system includes a patient specific model which uses input environmental data to predict changes in the patient's condition. The model is developed from an analysis of patient's responses to a variety of environmental triggers, and can be refined with time. The model can include only those specific triggers appropriate to a patient, can include the delay between the change in environment and change in condition of the patient, and can be run with data which is geographically localized to the patient's location. Conveniently the models can be run on personal devices held by the patients, such as mobile telephones, which are in communication with a server and/or a provider of environmental data. | 10-22-2009 |

20100130262 | WIRELESS USER INTERFACE APPARATUS FOR USE WITH PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES - Apparatus for interfacing with a personal communication device having at least one device transceiver. The apparatus includes a first portion having a first wireless transceiver configured to communicate with the device transceiver using a first wireless connection to facilitate transmitting incoming communication data from the communication device to a user through the first portion. The apparatus also includes a second portion having a second wireless transceiver configured to communicate with the device transceiver using a second wireless connection maintained simultaneously to the first wireless connection to facilitate transmitting outgoing communication data from the user to the communication device through the second portion. | 05-27-2010 |
20100217680 | ONLINE EXCHANGE SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH REVERSE AUCTION - A method of operating an online dynamic-bidding exchange for use in a reverse auction. The exchange includes a server system that includes a database, and a client system coupled to the server system via a communications network. The method includes determining a lowest credible price of a product, and receiving one or more offers to sell the product from a seller and storing the offers to sell in the database, wherein the offers to sell is embodied as a reserve price. The method also includes determining a sales price of the product based on a comparison of the lowest credible price and the competing reserve prices, transmitting the sales price from the server system to the client system, and displaying the sales price to a buyer via the client system. | 08-26-2010 |

20100067114 | Direct Beam Solar Light System - A direct beam solar lighting system for collecting and distributing sunlight into a room. The system includes a rotatable solar collector head to receive sunlight and to reflect the sunlight downward into a transition tube having a reflective interior surface. The light-concentrating transition tube reflects sunlight into a reflective light tube which directs the reflected sunlight through a plenum space into the room. The system includes a drive mechanism for rotating the rotatable solar collector, and a light fixture at end of the light tube to disburse said reflected sunlight onto a ceiling and a wall in the room. In an embodiment the system includes one or more homogenizing reflectors within the solar collector for collecting the sunlight and directing the sunlight more uniformly over the aperture of the transition tube. In an alternative embodiment, the solar collector includes a rotatable tiltable mirror for providing two-axis tracking. | 03-18-2010 |

20140318600 | CONCENTRATING PHOTOVOLTAIC COLLECTOR - A combined solar daylighting system and photovoltaic electric generation system operates when daylighting both is and is not required. A photovoltaic (PV) array is mounted on the back side of a secondary reflector of the daylighting system with the secondary reflector hinged in such a way that, when sunlight is not needed, the PV array can be positioned to collect the concentrated solar radiation from the primary reflector and convert it into electrical energy. When sunlight is needed for daylighting, the PV array on the back of the secondary reflector receives unconcentrated solar radiation, thereby converting it to electrical energy, though not in as large a quantity as when receiving concentrated solar radiation from the primary concentrating reflector in solar-only mode. | 10-30-2014 |
