20100033682 | High dynamic range scenographic image projection - A high dynamic range scenographic image and video projection system and method involving the projection of an image of an object or collection of objects onto the object, 2D or 3D, in such a manner than projected image elements are positioned substantially on the actual image of the object. The projection enhances or otherwise alters the hue, contrast, brightness, saturation, luminance, and/or other visible features of the object. Visual and not-visual features may be projected onto the object or the area around the object to enhance or disguise the object as well as the surroundings of the object. | 02-11-2010 |
20120154695 | High Dynamic range scenographic image projection - A high dynamic range scenographic image and video projection system and method involving the projection of an image of an object or collection of objects onto the object, 2D or 3D, in such a manner than projected image elements are positioned substantially on the actual image of the object. The projection enhances or otherwise alters the hue, contrast, brightness, saturation, luminance, and/or other visible features of the object. Visual and not-visual features may be projected onto the object or the area around the object to enhance or disguise the object as well as the surroundings of the object. | 06-21-2012 |

20130185355 | Recommendations Based On Geolocation - In one embodiment, a method includes accessing data indicating the geolocation of the mobile computing device of a user of a social-networking system, identifying one or more nodes of the social graph associated with a location within a pre-determined threshold distance of the user's location, determining one or more recommendations for the user based at least in part on the nodes, and providing the recommendations to the mobile computing device of the user. | 07-18-2013 |
20140172995 | Suggesting Opt-out of Notifications to Users of a Social Networking System - A social networking system notifies its users of different events and actions taking place inside the social networking system. To present notifications that are most likely to be of interest to the user, the social networking system observes the interactions of the user with notifications presented to the user and suggests an option to opt-out of notifications associated with a source based on the observed interactions. The option to opt-out of notifications associated with the source may be presented if the users interactions with the notifications presented are below a threshold. Notifications associated with a social group are presented to the user based on factors describing the group and the relation between the user and other users of the social group, for example, seniority of the user, size of the group, and the rate at which user actions associated with the group are received. | 06-19-2014 |
20140289384 | Filtering notifications from a third party application to a user of a social networking system based on an action of the user - A method for filtering a notification being provided from an application to a user of a social networking system based on an action of the user is described. The method starts by receiving the notification from the application to the user. If the notification is a first notification sent from the application to the user, the notification is displayed to the user with (i) a prompting message that includes a selectable opt in image, and (ii) a selectable opt out image. The prompting message includes a request to opt in to receiving notifications from the application. If the notification is not the first notification sent from the application to the user, the method determines whether to display the notification to the user by determining whether the user previously opted in to notifications from the application and whether click-through rate (CTR) of notifications from the application is greater than CTR threshold. | 09-25-2014 |

20080303642 | Apparatus and Method for Remotely Obtaining and Evaluating Vehicular and Other Information - An apparatus and method for remotely obtaining and evaluating vehicular and other information is disclosed, where a field device can be used to wirelessly transmit information to a processor. The processor can compare the information against other information in a database. Based upon the results of the comparison, the results are evaluating by the processor using predetermined criteria and one or more of a plurality of different predetermined instructions are wirelessly transmitted to the field device. | 12-11-2008 |
20090211011 | Panel Systems for Spas - Panel systems are provided where the panels are constrained relative to a spa, but can be readily removed from the spa to permit replacement of the panels. The panels can be constrained prior to removal, such as using flanges which are attachable relative to the frame of the spa. | 08-27-2009 |
20090211012 | Panels for Spas - Panels are provided that are usable in a skirt surrounding a frame of a spa. The panels can have a multi-tone appearance and can be made from durable, low maintenance synthetic materials. | 08-27-2009 |
20090324838 | Methods of Manufacturing Structural Reinforcement Materials - Methods of manufacturing sport and other boards and devices are disclosed that include providing a foam core, such as expanded polystyrene or polyurethane. The foam core may be pre-shaped into the desired shape for the user or group of users. The method further includes the step of spraying a polyurethane reinforcing skin around the core to substantially encapsulate the core in the skin, and thus provide a board having a rigid outer skin. The methods may also include adjusting the thickness in at least one predetermined area in order to modify the flexibility of the board in the at least one predetermined area as compared to adjacent portions of the board. | 12-31-2009 |
20100219957 | LIGHTED SURROUND - Lighted surrounds for door handles are provided where the lighted surround can help identification of the door handle, such as when the lights in the room are off or dimmed. The lighted surrounds may be made at least partially of a translucent, flexible elastomeric material and may include one or more light sources and a power source. | 09-02-2010 |
