20140351840 | FILTERING AND TAILORING MULTIMEDIA CONTENT BASED ON OBSERVED USER BEHAVIOR - A user is given the ability to control the display of content items such as advertisements, by for example skipping over content items that are not of interest. Metadata tags associated with non-skipped viewings of content are stored and tracked. Subsequently, candidate content items are scored according to their metadata tags, giving higher scores to candidate content items associated with higher occurrences of non-skipped viewings. The higher-scoring candidate content items can then be favored over other candidate content items. Thus, based on the choices the user makes with respect to skipping or not skipping particular content items, inferences are made as to the user's level of interest in various subjects, and subsequent content items are delivered in a personalized manner to the user. | 11-27-2014 |

20150027281 | MOHAWK HAIR CUTTING GUIDE/APPARATUS - A hair cutting guide/apparatus and method for aiding in creating/trimming a humans hair into a mohawk type hairstyle. The mohawk guide consists of two side pieces, two adjustable spacers/connectors, and two clips. The bottom edges of the two side pieces are contoured to follow the shape of the human head from the start of the hairline to the nape of the neck. The mohawk guide is slid into position with the two clips held open with the front of the guide by the start of the user's hairline. The clips are then released which causes the clips to close via spring tension and thereby grip the hair in between the bottom edges of the clips and the inner surfaces of the two side pieces. With the mohawk guide now securely attached to the user's head, the hair on both sides of the guide is cut. Then the mohawk guide clips are opened and the guide is slid back through the user's hair until the front of the guide is where the end of the the guide was during the previous step. The clips are again released/closed securing the guide to the user's head and then the hair on both sides is cut. This process is repeated until the entire mohawk is completed. At the end of the process the user has a completed mohawk that is uniformly wide and straight. | 01-29-2015 |
