| 20150242927 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF AN ONLINE TRAVEL WEBSITE - In one exemplary aspect, a method of an online travel website includes obtaining a list of hierarchal user travel preferences from a first user. Each of the first user's travel preference is weighted based on an order of the first user's travel preference in the list. A first user's query for a list of travel results is received. The list of travel results related to the first user's query is obtained. The list of travel results to identify a travel result attribute related to each of the first user's travel preferences is parsed. Each travel result is scored based on the weight of each related first user's travel preference. The list of travel results is sorted based on a score of each travel result. | 08-27-2015 |

| 20150358309 | DATA PROTECTION BACKUP AGENT MANAGEMENT - A system correlates application information from within a virtual guest to an entity managing off-host data protection. During a data protection operation, the system exploits the virtual hierarchy to centralize the configuration and management of operating system credentials of numerous virtual guests. For each virtual guest, the system uses the credential to collect a single Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) previously generated and stored in-guest by any data protection agent. The system stores the collected GUID as a custom property in the context of the virtual hierarchy. The system also exploits the virtual hierarchy custom properties to determine if GUIDs are copies due to virtual guest replication. The system ensures GUID's uniqueness by requesting regeneration of the GUID by in-guest data protection agents. Using GUIDs that are unique across the virtual hierarchy, from the entity managing off-host data protection, the system can correlate application data of multiple in-guest data protection agents. | 12-10-2015 |

| 20160078675 | STYLING OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS HAIR THROUGH VOLUMETRIC FLOW DYNAMICS - Methods are disclosed for the computer generation of data for images that include hair, fur, or other strand-like material. A volume for the hair is specified, having a plurality of surfaces. A fluid flow simulation is performed within the volume, with a first surface of the volume being a source area through which fluid is simulated to enter the volume, and a second surface being an exit surface through which fluid is simulated as exiting the volume. The fluid flow simulation may be used to produce fluid flow lines, such as from a velocity vector field for the fluid. Fluid flow lines are selected, and image data of hairs that follow the fluid flow lines are generated. Other embodiments include generating animation sequences by generating images wherein the volume and surfaces vary between frames. | 03-17-2016 |

| 20160050763 | ENCAPSULATION PROCESS ENABLING HOTBAR SOLDERING WITHOUT DIRECT PCB SUPPORT - A method for connecting or terminating wires to a printed circuit is disclosed. The method includes applying layers, such as a first layer and a second layer, to the printed circuit. The first layer is applied over several active components on the printed circuit, and provides a sealant against ingress of contaminants in the active components. The second layer is a rigid layer applied over the first layer. When the printed circuit is placed in a fixture, a metallic element, such as a thermode or hot bar, presses against the wires to hold the wires against several terminals on the printed circuit. The metallic element is heated to melt solder between the wires and the terminals. The second layer is configured to resist compressive forces from the metallic element and the fixture, such that the printed circuit and the active components are not damaged during the connection process. | 02-18-2016 |
