20080293919 | Fibrous Protein Fusions and Use Thereof in the Formation of Advanced Organic/Inorganic Composite Materials - The claimed invention provides a fusion polypeptide comprising a fibrous protein domain and a mineralization domain. The fusion is used to form an organic-inorganic composite. These organic-inorganic composites can be constructed from the nano- to the macro-scale depending on the size of the fibrous protein fusion domain used. In one embodiment, the composites can also be loaded with other compounds (e.g., dyes, drugs, enzymes) depending on the goal for the materials, to further enhance function. This can be achieved during assembly of the material or during the mineralization step in materials formation. | 11-27-2008 |

20110055156 | METHOD FOR EFFICIENT STORAGE NODE REPLACEMENT - Methods and apparatus are described for a horizontally scalable high performance object storage architecture. Metadata are completely decoupled from object storage. Instead of file names, users are given a locator when the object is uploaded and committed. Users can store the locator along with their own metadata or embed it directly in the static content. Clients can choose which storage nodes to store data on based on dynamic measures of node performance. Since there is no coupling among storage servers, performance can scale horizontally by adding more nodes. The decoupling also allows the front end services and storage to scale independently. High service availability is achieved by object-level synchronous replication and having no single point of failure. Failed nodes are rebuilt using copies of data in other nodes without taking the cluster offline. In addition to the replication, the ability to add or remove nodes on-line reduces maintenance-related service downtime. | 03-03-2011 |

20130091015 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR VIRTUAL VENDOR HAWKING USING DIRECTIONAL ADVERTISING - Techniques are provided for use in targeting potential customers that may be travelling near a vendor. A set of one or more potential customers travelling in a predetermined direction within a predetermined distance from a vendor's geographic location may be detected substantially in real time. The vendor may specify one or more criteria to target the potential customers. The set of potential customers may be reduced based at least in part on the one or more criteria to create a subset of potential customers. One or more advertisements may be transmitted to the subset of potential customers such that the advertisements may be viewed or displayed or played back on the vehicle's sound system and/or on the occupants' smartphones. | 04-11-2013 |
