20140032208 | Labeling Context Slices To Produce a Storyline from Mobile Device Data - Embodiments create and label context slices from observation data that together define a storyline of a user's movements. A context is a (possibly partial) specification of what a user was doing in the dimensions of time, place, and activity. Contexts can vary in their specificity, their semantic content, and their likelihood. A storyline is composed of a time-ordered sequence of contexts that partition a given span of time. A storyline is created through a process of data collection, slicing and labeling. Raw context data can be collected from a variety of observation sources with various error characteristics. Slicing refines the chaotic collection of contexts produced by data collection into a single consistent storyline composed of a sequence of contexts representing homogeneous time intervals. Labeling adds more specific and semantically meaningful data (e.g., geography, venue, activity) to the storyline produced by slicing. | 01-30-2014 |
20140032358 | Sharing Recommendation Agents - A customized recommendation agent for the user is built using a behavioral model. The customized recommendation agent selects recommendations from a corpus to present to the user, based on the behavioral model and the user's current or predicted future context. The customized recommendation agent can be shared by the user with others, thus allowing others to access recommendations that may appeal to the user, for example, for use in planning joint activities. Because the user's recommendation agent is independent from the user's actual history, preferences can be shared without revealing a user's specific behavior. | 01-30-2014 |
20140032452 | RECOMMENDATION AGENT USING A PERSONALITY MODEL DETERMINED FROM MOBILE DEVICE DATA - A user's context history is analyzed to build a personality model describing the user's personality and interests. The personality model includes a plurality of metrics indicating the user's position on a plurality of personality dimensions, such as desire for novelty, tendency for extravagance, willingness to travel, love of the outdoors, preference for physical activity, and desire for solitude. A customized recommendation agent is then built based on the personality model, which selects a recommendation from a corpus to present to the user based on an affinity between the user's personality and the selected recommendation. | 01-30-2014 |
20140032453 | CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION PROVIDER - A user's context history is used to help select contextual information to provide to the user. Context data describing the user's current context is received and a plurality of information items corresponding to the user's current context are identified from a contextual information corpus. A personalized user behavior model for the user is applied to determine the likelihood that each of the identified information items will be of value to the user. One or more of the information items are selected based on the corresponding likelihoods and the selected information items are provided for presentation to the user. | 01-30-2014 |

20150254313 | Displaying Search Results According to Object Types and Relationships - A user query including one or more references to objects of various types and/or text keywords is received from a user and processed into sub-queries. Information sources execute the sub-queries and returns search results matching text keywords and/or relating to objects referenced in the user queries. The search results are organized based on their object types and relationships, and displayed in a manner exposing their relationships to the user. | 09-10-2015 |

20100057299 | Steering Angle Sensor System and Method for Measuring A Steering Angle - A steering angle sensor system for measuring a steering angle in a motor vehicle. The steering angle sensor system includes a magnetic encoder which is coupled to at least one magnetic field sensor that senses a variation in the steering angle even when the ignition is switched off, and an electronic memory for storing the steering angle variation. The steering angle sensor system also includes at least one magnetic-field-sensitive element which is coupled to the magnetic encoder for detecting the occurrence of steering movements at an early time in order to at least partially activate the steering angle sensor system and/or another system. | 03-04-2010 |

20150107385 | Top Drive Operated Casing Running Tool - A casing running tool is connected to a top drive with a clutch that operates with set down weight against a spring resistive force. Setting down weight with rotation in a first direction raises an actuation member that pushes the slips out radially. The weight of the string then keeps the slips in position so that the string can be picked up and the rig floor slips removed followed by lowering the string while circulating and rotating. With slips set inside the joint and the string hanging free, rotating the top drive rotates the string as the string is lowered. With slips again supporting the string on the rig floor the top drive can be rotated in an opposed direction with weight set down to back off the slips and to remove it from the top joint. | 04-23-2015 |
20150107851 | Top Drive Operated Casing Running Tool - Spring loaded dogs are attached to the housing to engage the casing internally or externally to facilitate extension or retraction of the slips that selectively grab the topmost of a string of casing. When the tool is suspended from the top drive, its components are rotationally locked to facilitate insertion into the casing stand on top of a string being run in the hole. Some set down weight allows top drive rotation to move a multi-ramped mandrel axially because that mandrel is rotationally locked to the housing that is held fast by the spring loaded dogs bearing on the casing. Once the slips are extended with a specified torque applied from the top drive, further setting down weight locks the components and the housing so that applied rotation with setting down weight will turn the casing string but will not torque up the slips beyond their set position. | 04-23-2015 |
