20140172585 | Advertising system to solve the problem of click fraud - A process for an advertising system that transfers advertisements and commissions between merchants and advertisement presenters in a no-risk “payment on purchase” way, avoiding click fraud, is disclosed. The disclosed process allows merchants to set an amount of their profit margin for a product to be paid to the presenter of one of their advertisements only upon a consequent successful sale. Further, it allows advertisement presenters, content site owners, to directly select advertisements from a compiled list of advertisements ordered by margin. This allows content site owners to use their knowledge of their reader's purchase interests. The merchant pays the advertising system intermediary the decided margin upon a successful sale, and the advertising system pays the advertisement presenter. The advertising system's payment to the advertisement presenter is subject to a payment transfer function, which obscures the profit margin of the merchant to protect this information from competitors. | 06-19-2014 |
20140173698 | Software publisher and device authentication using customizable multimedia - A process for authentication that gives users a warning against malicious web applications is disclosed. The disclosed process gives the user an audiovisual when viewing the correct web application. The audiovisual is known as a “totem” in this document. The totem can be an image that is shown to the user, audio that is played to the user, or a video or animation (with or without audio) that is played to the user. The user selects their totem as part of the disclosed process. The totem is stored locally using web storage in the user's browser. The totem can only be accessed by the correct web application, and thus cannot be presented to the user by a malicious web application seeking to impersonate the correct web application. The disclosed process thus gives the user, even one not “computer savvy”, a strong warning indication about a malicious web applications. | 06-19-2014 |

20140108964 | Measuring Page Viewership in a Social Network - A social networking system includes pages created by users for providing content related to topics of interest. An interaction engine captures data and maintains analytical information about how users interact with pages and posts. When a user takes an action such as liking a page or a post, the interaction engine updates the page's activity history to reflect the activity and information about the user who took the action. The interaction engine also measures the reach of pages and posts, by determining how and from where each user viewed the page and its contents. The interaction engine further tracks the community's interest in pages and posts by determining how many unique users create stories that include a page or its content. An insights module uses the data obtained by the interaction engine to synthesize graphical reports about page interactions and present the reports to page administrators. | 04-17-2014 |

20090105652 | INTRODUCER INCLUDING SHAPED DISTAL REGION - An introducer for providing intravascular access to a patient is disclosed, and includes a dilator and sheath that are configured to prevent peelback, or “fishmouthing,” of the sheath during introducer advancement. In one embodiment, the introducer comprises a dilator including a distal tapered region, and a sheath including an inner bore that receives the dilator such that a portion of the tapered region of the dilator extends from the sheath distal end. A distal outer surface of the sheath includes a first curved portion defined by a first radius and extending proximally from the distal end of the sheath to a first end point, and a second curved portion defined by a second radius and extending proximally from the first end point to a second end point. Additionally, an interference fit is established between the dilator tapered region and the sheath distal end to further prevent sheath end deformation. | 04-23-2009 |
20090177163 | REDUCED FRICTION CATHETER INTRODUCER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AND USING THE SAME - Tear-away sheath introducers for catheters, methods for making such introducers, and methods for using such introducers are described. The sheath introducers contain movable valves that are encapsulated in a movable housing that allows the valve to move along the axis of the introducer. As the movable valve and housing travel along the axis, a portion of the hub protrudes past the valve and is exposed. As well, the sheath introducers can also contain a stationary valve and housing that can be opened to expose a portion of the hub when a conduit penetrates the stationary valve. The conduit can include a one-way valve actuator that can penetrate and open the valve, yet remain attached to a portion of the introducer when the introducer is split for removal from a patient. In both instances, the protruding portion of the hub contains a friction-free pathway for a catheter into the sheath introducer. | 07-09-2009 |

20110196899 | PARALLEL FILE SYSTEM PROCESSING - A treewalk for splitting a file directory is disclosed for parallel execution of work items over a filesystem. The given work item is assigned to a worker. Thereafter, a request is sent to split the file directory to share a portion of the file directory with another worker. The worker examines the file directory for a next splittable directory entry key after a current in-progress location within a key space for the file directory. If no key is detected, the file directory is identified as unsplittable. If an entry is detected, the key space is progressively searched for a next entry between a next available directory entry key and an upper boundary. The worker identifies the file directory as splittable if the next available entry is found, providing a range of entries within the file directory for which parallel execution of the work item. | 08-11-2011 |
