20120215865 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTERCONNECTING SOCIAL NETWORKS - An online community bridges two or more different client social networks and includes users of the client social networks and, optionally, one or more users who are not included in the client social networks. The online community provides an area for micro-blogging to be shared between its users while enforcing a separation between it and the client social networks and maintaining the original separation between the client social networks. | 08-23-2012 |
20130024513 | METHOD OF VIRALLY EXPANDING SOCIAL NETWORKS - Membership in a social network is virally expanded by suggesting to a user to invite contacts from the user's address book and, in addition, eligible contacts from other address books. Eligible contacts from other address books include those contacts that have e-mail addresses with the same e-mail domain as the user's e-mail address. | 01-24-2013 |
20130024526 | METHOD OF MANAGING FEEDS BASED ON CLASSIFICATIONS - Primary and secondary messages are included in a feed according to a “full thread” mode or a “stream” mode. The “full thread” mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include both primary and secondary messages. In contrast, the “stream” mode causes a feed, when viewed, to include only primary messages. In this way, a feed viewed in “full thread” mode provides to users a comprehensive view of messages included in the feed. Alternatively, a feed viewed in “stream” mode provides to users a concise view messages included in the feed. | 01-24-2013 |
20130055070 | METHOD OF GENERATING WEB PAGES USING SERVER-SIDE JAVASCRIPT - A web page including one or more web applications is generated using third-party scripts, in a manner that protects private content that may be included in the web page. According to this technique, third-party scripts that are to be executed within a browser environment are instead executed by a web server that is generating the web page, so that the web server can protect against any programmatic attempts to improperly access private content included in the web page. | 02-28-2013 |
20140067933 | METHOD FOR GENERATING SOCIAL NETWORK ACTIVITY STREAMS - A method for notifying users of an online social network of an activity performed within a web site that is external to the online social network by an individual who is a registered user of the online social network and the web site. The method comprises the steps of receiving a notification package from the external web site, the notification package including a notification message that describes the activity performed, parsing the notification package to extract a list of recipients, each of whom is to receive the notification message, and issuing the notification message to each of the recipients. | 03-06-2014 |

20100302056 | LOCATION DISCOVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems and methods for location discovery are presented. One or more applications are run on the mobile device. At least one of the applications receives, from a server computer via the wireless communications network, location-based content based on a context determined by the server computer, the location-based content including an a location-based application associated with a location of the mobile device, the context being based on the location of the mobile device and a profile of a user of the mobile device. The application accesses the location-based content to execute the location-based application to generate a function that is personalized for the user of the mobile device based on the context, and executes the function based an input from the user of the mobile device. | 12-02-2010 |
20100305855 | LOCATION RELEVANCE PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method for determining a relevance of content for delivery to a mobile device is presented. Location information about a location of the mobile device is received. A set of location-based content related to the location is determined based on the location information and a user affinity of a user associated with the mobile device. The set of location-based content describes one or more places of interest to the user. A distance between each of the one or more places of interest and the mobile device is computed according to the location of the mobile device. A final relevance value for each item of content in the set of location-based content is determined, and the content from the set of location-based content is displayed according to the content's final relevance value. | 12-02-2010 |
20100331016 | LOCATION-BASED PROMOTION FOR A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Methods and systems for location-based promotions are presented. A location of a mobile device is determined and transmitted to a server computer via a wireless communications network, along with user identification information. One or more location-based applications are run on the mobile device. At least one of the applications receives location-based content based on a context determined by the server computer. The location-based content including a promotion for a location associated with the location-based content. The application further executes a promotional function based on the promotion. | 12-30-2010 |

20090038385 | PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM - A pressure monitoring system for a combustion engine includes, but is not limited to of combustion chambers and pressure sensors associated to at least some of the combustion chambers. A multiplexer has inputs connected to at least a first one and a second one of the pressure sensors. A non-zero phase shift exists between the operating cycles of first and second ones of the combustion chambers associated to the first and second pressure sensors. A controller controls the multiplexer to output data from the first pressure sensor while the first combustion chamber is in a predetermined portion of its operating cycle and pressure data from the second pressure sensor while the second combustion chamber is in the predetermined portion of its operating cycle. | 02-12-2009 |
20090222195 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TWO CONSECUTIVE INJECTION PULSES IN AN ELECTRICALLY-ACTUATED FUEL INJECTOR SYSTEM FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, PARTICULARLY A DIESEL ENGINE - At each engine cycle, nearby the TDCC, an injector is driven so as to perform a fuel injection sequence according to a predetermined pattern (A-Z), including a plurality of successive, separate fuel injection pulses (pulse | 09-03-2009 |
20110106407 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING FUEL PRESSURE - Methods, a fuel supply system, and a computer readable medium embodying a computer program product are provided for controlling rail pressure in a fuel supply system comprising a fuel pump, an injector and a rail connecting the injector to the pump. At least one of the methods includes, but is not limited to establishing a relationship between said rail pressure and a leak rate of the injector, estimating a fuel drain rate from said rail based on a fuel injection rate, the rail pressure and said rail pressure/leak rate relationship, estimating a desired intake flow rate of said pump based on said fuel drain rate, and controlling the pump to operate at said desired intake flow rate. | 05-05-2011 |
