20160104216 | SYSTEM AND METHODS TO FACILITATE IN-SITU EVALUATIONS - Review data associated with a guest experience at an event, such as a vacation rental, for example, is transmitted over a communications network to one or more networked computing devices for processing the review data into a review data file for publication. The review data may be generated by an application executing on a processor of a client device such as a smartphone, tablet or pad. The review data may include access credentials and location data that may be processed to validate that the review data is legitimate. The review data may include media content captured in-situ at the event while the guest is experiencing the event. Prior to publishing a review data file, an owner may receive a notice and/or a copy of the pending review data file and the owner may take action to cure a less than stellar review and/or amend the review prior to publication. | 04-14-2016 |
20160105435 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO AUTHENTICATE IDENTITY FOR SELECTIVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION RELATING TO PROPERTY - Credential and/or location data included in data received by a networked system from a device that communicated the data to the networked system may be processed to determine if the credential data and/or location data validate an identity of a user (e.g., a guest, traveler, patron) and/or a location of the user based on a location of the device when the data is communicated. The data may be review data and the credential and/or location data may be included in review data. The device and/or the networked system may generate a location history database from location data from the device or other system that is periodically logged from multiple locations at different times during an event (e.g., a stay at a vacation rental). Data from the database may be used to determine if a location for a communication is with a threshold of an allowable distance from an allowable location. | 04-14-2016 |

20110308668 | Ferrous Metal Magnetite Coating Processes and Reagents - A process for forming a magnetite coating on a ferrous metal surface and for chemical reagents used to implement the coating process. The process comprises the step of making the ferrous metal surface more reactive by contacting the surface with an activating reagent and then contacting the activated surface with an oxidizing reagent to form the coating at a relatively low temperature range. The surface is activated by contact with an acid solution to form a surface rich in reactive iron. The activated surface is then oxidized by contact with an aqueous reagent of alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal nitrate, alkali metal nitrite, and mixtures thereof. | 12-22-2011 |

20100024012 | SECURE CUSTOMER INTERFACE FOR WEB BASED DATA MANAGEMENT - An integrated series of security protocols is disclosed that protect remote user communications with remote enterprise services, and simultaneously protect the enterprises services from third parties. In the first layer, an implementation of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) version of HTTPS provides communications security, including authentication of the enterprise web server and the security of the transmitted data. The protocols provide for an identification of the user, and an authentication of the user to ensure the user is who he/she claims to be and a determination of entitlements that the user may avail themselves of within the enterprise system. Session security is described, particularly as to the differences between a remote user's copper wire connection to a legacy system and a user's remote connection to the enterprise system over a “stateless” public Internet, where each session is a single transmission, rather than an interval of time between logon and logoff, as is customary in legacy systems. Security for the enterprise network and security for the data maintained by the various enterprise applications is also described. | 01-28-2010 |

20080265699 | PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR WITH AN INTEGRAL COOLING SYSTEM AND INTERGRAL VOLTAGE REGULATION - A cooling system and voltage regulator for a sealed permanent magnet generator is disclosed that has a rotor shaft that is hollow. A magnet is moveably positioned within said hollow rotor shaft. Permanent magnets mount on the exterior of the hollow rotor shaft. The rotor shaft has a pressed aluminum tube in various configuration on the inside bore with an end-mounted fan. The aluminum tube acts as a heat sink to draw the heat generated by the magnets through the rotor shaft and aluminum tube. The fan draws cooling air through the hollow bore of the rotor shaft thus cooling the magnets and forces the heated air through passages on the exterior of the stator housing. Because the airflow is not in contact with the electrical portions of the generator the cooling system will perform in dusty, wet and explosive environments. In another configuration a refrigeration compressor installed in the rotor shaft bore cools the rotor shaft and the fan cools the stator passages. Movement of the magnet within the rotor shaft regulates voltage. | 10-30-2008 |

20120081191 | HIGH POWER MINIATURE RF DIRECTIONAL COUPLER - An RF directional coupler fabricated utilizing a printed circuit structure that includes a plated slot or trough as and electrical conduit. The slot intersects a capture pad at the end of the trace. The plating wraps around to this capture pad making the trough a hollow trace. The hollow trace allows a large surface area to be parallel in the same plane. The smooth surface of the routed slot allows for a smooth copper surface unlike a typical wall of a hole or treated copper. These unique vertical edge plated troughs inside the coupler providing two significant advantages over previous coupling techniques. First, the surface area of the lines is greater which greatly increases its power handling capability. Second, the mainline and coupled lines all lie in the same plane simplifying construction of the coupler into a pick and place circuit. | 04-05-2012 |

These compositions and methods can impart excellent adhesion properties between film layers and the transparent support. The films have improved appearance compared to similar high optical density films. Such improved appearance films are produced without requiring reduced drying process throughput. These films are useful for medical imaging. | 06-14-2012 |
20120231183 | TRANSPARENT INK-JET RECORDING FILMS, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS - Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films do not exhibit excessive ink drying times. These films exhibit high maximum optical densities and have low haze values. These films are useful for medical imaging. | 09-13-2012 |
20120301640 | TRANSPARENT INK-JET RECORDING FILMS, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS - The compositions and methods of the present application can provide transparent ink-jet recording films with increased image-receiving layer thicknesses. Such films can exhibit high maximum optical densities and rapid ink drying. | 11-29-2012 |
20130040077 | TRANSPARENT INK-JET RECORDING FILMS, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS - Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films exhibit superior resistance to ink-transfer when printed to high optical densities, which is desirable for medical imaging applications. | 02-14-2013 |

20100278347 | ACOUSTIC HOSTILE FIRE INDICATOR - A system for detecting of the location of shooters with respect to a moving platform is disclosed and claimed. The system makes use of the ballistic shock of ordnance to find a shooter by one of three methods: using a single small array (that detects ordnance shock) in conjunction with the electro-optic infrared detection of the shot; using a single small array that detects both the muzzle blast (often obscured on an aircraft in flight) and ordnance shock (that is more easily detected above the background noise); and using multiple small arrays, each of which detects ordnance shock, to triangulate the ordnance trajectory. | 11-04-2010 |

20080320286 | DYNAMIC OBJECT-LEVEL CODE TRANSLATION FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF A COMPUTER PROCESSOR - A system and method for improving the efficiency of an object-level instruction stream in a computer processor. Translation logic for generating translated instructions from an object-level instruction stream in a RISC-architected computer processor, and an execution unit which executes the translated instructions, are integrated into the processor. The translation logic combines the functions of a plurality of the object-level instructions into a single translated instruction which can be dispatched to a single execution unit as compared with the untranslated instructions, which would otherwise be serially dispatched to separate execution units. Processor throughput is thereby increased since the number of instructions which can be dispatched per cycle is extended. | 12-25-2008 |
