| 20100191616 | Software method and system to enable automatic, real-time extraction of item price and availability from a supplier catalog during a buyer's electronic procurement shopping process - The present invention, termed the Interactive Organic Agent (IOA), augments electronic procurement shopping software with functionality that enables the purchasing organization to capture, in real-time, any changes in supplier item price and availability, as the buyer (user) is shopping or browsing the buyer-side remote catalog index. In particular, as the buyer is viewing remote-catalog pages of items that have been selected as the result of a search, or simply via browsing, the IOA automatically, without any required user action, makes a direct connection to the live supplier online site(s) that correspond to the items being viewed, and then retrieves the latest price & availability data. Via the use of knowledge-capture and artificial intelligence (including an Organic Profile Language) to trigger an operation termed “Organic Punch-out”, the IOA generates a background connection to a live vendor site only when, and only long enough as, necessary to retrieve updated item information, without any direct action by the buyer. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20110004566 | Virtual Supercomputer - The virtual supercomputer is an apparatus, system and method for generating information processing solutions to complex and/or high-demand/high-performance computing problems, without the need for costly, dedicated hardware supercomputers, and in a manner far more efficient than simple grid or multiprocessor network approaches. The virtual supercomputer consists of a reconfigurable virtual hardware processor, an associated operating system, and a set of operations and procedures that allow the architecture of the system to be easily tailored and adapted to specific problems or classes of problems in a way that such tailored solutions will perform on a variety of hardware architectures, while retaining the benefits of a tailored solution that is designed to exploit the specific and often changing information processing features and demands of the problem at hand. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20120265744 | Knowledge-based e-catalog procurement system and method - A flexible, intelligent electronic procurement method and system that emulates and learns from the adaptive behavior of a user trying to find a product in an electronic catalog. The invention allows for searching heterogeneous catalogs in virtually any format, and does not require pre-defined hierarchies, nor the pre-loading of vendor catalog contents, nor the scrubbing of vendor data. It does not impose fixed structures on the user, and it does not force the user to think like someone else. Instead, the invention allows the user to choose their own way to navigate a catalog of items, and then by recording successful search scenarios and storing that knowledge in a dynamic collection of search paths, the invention organically evolves. As the collection of search paths can be accessed by other users, the utility of the invention increases over time once implemented in a given environment. | 10-18-2012 |

| 20080221915 | Softwate method and system to enable compliance with audit requirements for electronic procurement pricing - The present invention, named PriceAudit, is an electronic procurement tool that enables the buyer, or purchasing organization, to precisely audit, and therefore validate, on a near real-time basis, their purchasing patterns and prices across all of their (or any other) internet-based suppliers. It allows the comparison of punchout (live supplier internet catalog) price information with prior or negotiated prices, offering the ability to audit and analyze price changes. This enables the user to compare and track price changes from punchout suppliers, compile information for Sarbanes-Oxley reporting requirements, and ensure compliance with supplier contracts, via comparison of prices paid with prices negotiated with a supplier. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090094227 | Adaptive e-procurement find assistant using algorithmic intelligence and organic knowledge capture - The present invention is a real-time intelligent find-assistant that suggests useful search terms to a buyer shopping an electronic catalog, as they progress in their online journey to find a particular item for potential purchase. In contrast to current approaches, the present invention uses an adaptive algorithm to extract and rank-order possible search terms from candidate vendor catalog pages, based upon a measure of relevance, or utility, derived from the proximity of possible non-generic terms in the vendor catalog to the terms already selected by the user in their current search. Also in contrast to current approaches, the invention captures and stores buyers' entire history of choices over time (even years), and uses this knowledge to make increasingly useful suggestions to a buyer as to what item descriptions to look for, as they progress through their search, thus allowing an organization to leverage expert purchasing behaviors for use by novice buyers. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20100170496 | LIGHTING EFFECTS IN A HEATING APPLIANCE - A fireplace includes a first enclosure defining a combustion chamber and having a front that allows viewing within the combustion chamber, one or more back panels opposite the front, a plurality of side panels, a top panel, and a bottom panel. At least one of the one or more back panels and plurality of side panels includes a plurality of optically transmissive regions. A second enclosure includes a plurality of panels that are secured together to surround the plurality of side panels. A flame-generating element is disposed within the combustion chamber adjacent the bottom panel and is adapted to generate a flame. A lighting assembly between the first enclosure and the second enclosure is operable to project light onto portions of the second enclosure facing the first enclosure to passively illuminate an interior of the combustion chamber through the plurality of optically transmissive regions. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20100011403 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING FILES FROM A SENDER TO A RECEIVER IN A TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION NETWORK - A system and method for transmitting files from a sender to a receiver in a television distribution system, for example, a cable television distribution network, is provided. The files are transmitted without the need for transmitting a directory over an out of band communications link. In an exemplary embodiment, a filename corresponding to a file to be transmitted is provided to a transform. The transform calculates a PID based on the filename. The calculated PID is incorporated into the MPEG2 data stream carrying the corresponding file contents. When an application program running in the receiver requests a file, the filename of the requested file is provided to a transform operating in the receiver. The transmitter and receiver transforms are identical. The transform provides a corresponding PID at its output. The PID is used to tune a PID filter on the receiver end such that the requested file is selected from the incoming MPEG bit stream for processing by the processor. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20100119076 | Hearing Protection Device Ear Seal With Acoustic Barrier - A hearing protection device such as a headset or headphone having ear cups is provided with ear seals that incorporate an acoustic barrier for attenuating external noise levels in the interior of the ear cups. The ear seals completely encircle the wearer's ear and use cushioning material into which the acoustic barrier is embedded or otherwise associated. The acoustic barrier comprises a strip or flange of material that is denser than the cushioning material and provides enhanced cross sectional attenuation. The acoustic barrier blocks external noise to reduce the level of noise within the internal cell of the ear cup. | 05-13-2010 |

Other exemplary features include a headset power supply, a microphone, a microphone preamplifier, and a device-detection circuit. The device-detection circuit selectively couples the power supply to the microphone preamplifier, enabling it to provide audio signals to the microphone input of the auxiliary device. | 05-26-2011 |
