20130328779 | REMOTE SESSION CONTROL USING MULTI-TOUCH INPUTS - Accessing and controlling a remote desktop of a remote computing system using a multi-touch display of a local computing system. The remote desktop is displayed on the multi-touch display. Upon detecting a user contact with the multi-touch display when the display is not engaged as a trackpad, the multi-touch display is engaged as a trackpad; and the user contact is assigned as a cursor pointer for controlling the multi-touch display as a trackpad. In accordance with some embodiments described herein, left and right pointer controls (e.g., left mouse button and right mouse button) controls may be emulated also. This remote desktop technique allows multi-touch displays to be used to manipulate remote desktops, even for those that do not support multi-touch semantics, interaction techniques, or metaphors. | 12-12-2013 |
20140372506 | MANAGING AND USING REMOTE APPLICATIONS ON A MOBILE DEVICE - Embodiments are directed to implementing remote applications, switching between remote applications provided by different remote application servers and to presenting application notifications across remote application servers. In one scenario, a client computer system sends, to a remote application server, an indication that a remote desktop application is to be launched. It then receives, from the remote application server, window state information for various remote applications provided by the remote desktop application. The client computer system filters the received window state information to determine which remote application windows are to be displayed on the client computer system, and aggregates window state information from the filtered remote application windows that are to be displayed on the client computer system to determine which category each remote application window is to be placed in. The client computer system then displays the determined remote application windows. | 12-18-2014 |

20160055140 | PEER TO PEER SPREADSHEET PROCESSING - A distributed system and process for sharing a spreadsheet model. A spreadsheet to be shared is configured by defining input fields, processing parameters for the input fields, and output fields, and a template including the input and output fields is created. The template is shared with a remote user, who enters data into the input fields of the template. The input data is transferred for processing, after which results are provided to the remote user in the defined output fields of the template. | 02-25-2016 |

20150254754 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CONSUMER EVALUATION OF INSURANCE OPTIONS - Methods, systems and apparatus are provided for recommending health insurance plans. Data inputs are received from a graphical user interface. These inputs may include data about location, gender, age, health conditions, prescription drugs and smoking habits. A subset of available health insurance plans is determined. A second database is queried for information about health care events and/or costs of people that match a subset of the user data inputs. Care costs are calculated for each health insurance plan by simulating the health events of the similar people returned from the second database under each health care plan. A total cost of ownership for each health insurance plan is calculated by adding monthly premiums for each health insurance plan to the care costs for that plan. A health insurance plan recommendation is made based at least in part and sometimes exclusively on the total cost of ownership. | 09-10-2015 |

20100154305 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CATALYTIC HYDROTHERMAL GASIFICATION OF BIOMASS - Continuous processing of wet biomass feedstock by catalytic hydrothermal gasification must address catalyst fouling and poisoning. One solution can involve heating the wet biomass with a heating unit to a temperature sufficient for organic constituents in the feedstock to decompose, for precipitates of inorganic wastes to form, for preheating the wet feedstock in preparation for subsequent separation of sulfur contaminants, or combinations thereof. Treatment further includes separating the precipitates out of the wet feedstock, removing sulfur contaminants, or both using a solids separation unit and a sulfur separation unit, respectively. Having removed much of the inorganic wastes and the sulfur that can cause poisoning and fouling, the wet biomass feedstock can be exposed to the heterogeneous catalyst for gasification. | 06-24-2010 |

20110276524 | Data Structures and Apparatuses for Representing Knowledge - Data structures and apparatuses to represent knowledge are disclosed. The processes can comprise labeling elements in a knowledge signature according to concepts in an ontology and populating the elements with confidence values. The data structures can comprise knowledge signatures stored on computer-readable media. The knowledge signatures comprise a matrix structure having elements labeled according to concepts in an ontology, wherein the value of the element represents a confidence that the concept is present in an information space. The apparatus can comprise a knowledge representation unit having at least one ontology stored on a computer-readable medium, at least one data-receiving device, and a processor configured to generate knowledge signatures by comparing datasets obtained by the data-receiving devices to the ontologies. | 11-10-2011 |
