Filed:

Oct 15, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/967114

Inventors:

Ramachandran Narayanamurthy - Loveland CO, US
Robert K. Kerrigan - Berthoud CO, US
Christopher A. Kay - Fort Collins CO, US

Assignee:

Ice Energy, LLC - Windsor CO

International Classification:

F25D 3/00

US Classification:

62 59, 62434

Abstract:

Disclosed is an efficient refrigeration apparatus that provides refrigerant based energy storage and cooling. When connected to a condensing unit, the system has the ability to store energy capacity during one time period and provide cooling from the stored energy during a second time period. The system requires minimal energy to operate during either time period, and only a fraction of the energy required to operate the system during the first time period is required to operate the system during the second time period using an optional refrigerant pump.

International Classification:

F25B 41/04
F25B 41/06

US Classification:

62222, 62224, 236 92 B

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method and device to efficiently regulate flow of refrigerant while maintaining a sealed chamber in systems providing stored thermal energy for use during peak electrical demand. A mixed-phase regulator replaces the thermostatic expansion valve used in conventional air-conditioning systems that, along with capillary tubes and orifices, regulates the refrigerant fed from the compressor to the heat load.

Appl. No.:

13/082612

Inventors:

Christopher E. KAY - Palo Alto CA, US
Sam LISING - San Francisco CA, US
Tim KOBE - Honolulu HI, US

International Classification:

H04N 7/14
H04M 3/00

US Classification:

348 1403, 37926512, 348E07077

Abstract:

Embodiments described can more effectively complete complicated service transactions in a more efficient manner by having a team of well-trained professionals who are instantly “streamed” into any location as necessary. A two-way communication system can provide instant or quick access to the right expert at the right point in time, thereby converting what might otherwise be a negative customer experience into a positive sales and service opportunity. A computer implemented method for providing customer support comprises receiving, by a touchpoint device, identification information from a user of the touchpoint device; receiving the identification information; providing an electronic document to the user; receiving an input from the user requesting a session with a representative; selecting a representative based at least in part on the electronic document; providing information about the electronic document to the representative; and establishing a connection between the representative and the touchpoint device.

Sopnendu MOHANTY - Singapore, SG

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 39

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for customizing a user interface comprises receiving, from a touchpoint device, identification information entered by a user; accessing a record of the user from a database using the received identification information; determining whether the record has any application windows configured for the user interface on the touchpoint device; transmitting, by a server to the touchpoint device, at least a first financial application window and a second financial application window identified by the record of the user for display of the first financial application window and the second financial application window simultaneously on the user interface of the touchpoint device; receiving instructions from the user via the first financial application window to perform a financial transaction; and performing, by a server, the financial transaction while the touchpoint device displays at least the first financial application window and the second financial application window, wherein the first financial application window and the second financial application window are updated with real-time information.

International Classification:

G06F 17/20

US Classification:

715255

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for accessing an electronic document is provided comprising providing, by a server, an electronic document to a user of a first touchpoint device; receiving, by the first touchpoint device, an input from the user requesting a bookmark; creating a bookmark and a bookmark identifier; storing information about the electronic document in the bookmark; providing to the user, by the first touchpoint device, a bookmark identifier; entering, by the user, the bookmark identifier into a second touchpoint device; and displaying the electronic document on the second touchpoint device, wherein the electronic document displayed on the second touchpoint device has all information previously entered into the electronic document by the user using the first touchpoint device.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/02

US Classification:

705 43

Abstract:

The systems and methods described herein allow greater access to a banking platform via a mobile device. The customer can initiate a financial transaction using a mobile device, a bank can inform the customer of the nearest financial transaction terminal to perform that service, and the customer can complete that financial transaction at the financial transaction terminal using the mobile device as a user interface. While conventional systems may use a mobile device to transmit payment information at a point of sale terminal of a brick-and-mortar merchant, the embodiments described herein can allow a customer to conduct a transaction at a financial transaction terminal using the mobile device to initiate a transaction at a location away from a financial transaction terminal, to locate the nearest financial transaction terminal providing the required services, and as a user interface while communicating with the financial transaction terminal.
