Appl. No.:

13/104840

Inventors:

Anantha Pradeep - Berkeley CA, US
Robert T. Knight - Berkeley CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705319

Abstract:

Users in a social networking environment are matched with subjects of advocacy, such as products, services, offers, candidates, etc., by evaluating user profile characteristic information. The user may provide advocacy materials and an advocacy system may also generate advocacy materials that may be incorporated with the user's own testimonials. The advocacy materials are distributed using social network channels. A remuneration tracking system monitors distribution of the advocacy materials and analyzes metrics to determine the effectiveness of the distribution. In some examples, the renumeration tracking system monitors redistribution of the advocacy materials, purchase or selection of an offer upon viewing the advocacy materials, and/or commenting or positively valuing the advocacy materials.

US Classification:

705 1466, 709204

Abstract:

Entities seeking to promote goods, services, offers, candidates, etc., may elect to use advocates in a social networking environments instead of advertising. Social networking user profile characteristics are analyzed to identify advocates for subjects of advocacy such as brands, products, services, offers, political candidates, etc. Profile characteristics may include the advocate's own profile information as well as profile information of those in the advocate's social network. An advocate may select a subject of advocacy and generate advocacy materials or customized advocacy materials may be created and/or combined with user materials. The advocacy materials may be analyzed using neuro-response data to generate effective and targeted materials for distribution using social networking channels.

International Classification:

B30B 1526
G06F 1900

US Classification:

36455102

Abstract:

A process controller disposed to monitor and control a press. The controller monitors an appropriate variable at the press representative of the force produced at the workpiece upon which the press is operating, and compares this force to historical force data associated with the position at which the force was sampled. The historical data is stored in the form of control arrays, where the control arrays are calculated based upon one or more signature arrays stored during satisfactory press operations upon a similar workpiece. The calculation of the control arrays takes into account the deviations in the variables monitored at the press, which may include force and position. While monitoring the press based upon the HIGH and LOW control arrays, each force value is compared to the values in the HIGH and LOW control arrays at the time of sampling. The press controller is configured to monitor and control a high speed press and provides control functions during the particular press cycle in which unacceptable sample is taken.

International Classification:

A01K 29/00
A01K 27/00

Abstract:

Provided are mechanisms and processes for more effectively monitoring pets to enhance caregiving and pet development. In one example, a system includes a pet monitoring device having a plurality of sensors that gather measurement data, such as motion and arousal, from a pet. The system also includes a monitoring hub that receives the measurement data from the pet monitoring device and analyzes the measurement data in relation to a learning receptivity model obtained from a remote platform. The measurement data is analyzed to predict a time and duration when a pet associated with the pet monitoring device will be receptive to learning.

International Classification:

G09B 5/02

Abstract:

Provided are mechanisms and processes for more effectively monitoring infants to enhance caregiving and infant development. A system may include a wearable infant monitoring device, transmission interface, and monitoring hub. The wearable infant monitoring device includes sensors that detect activity and position of an infant. The transmission interface transmits measurement data associated with the activity and position of the infant. The monitoring hub receives the measurement data and includes a processor configured to determine the infant's receptivity to learning. Learning materials are then provided to a caregiver through a display interface based on the infant's receptivity to learning.

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

Abstract:

Provided are mechanisms and processes for a more effectively monitoring infants to enhance caregiving and infant development. A system may include a wearable infant monitoring device having multiple sensors, a transmission interface, and a wearable casing. The multiple sensors gather measurement data associated with activity of an infant. The transmission interface transmits the measurement data detected by the multiple of sensors to a remote monitoring hub. A wearable casing is configured to house the plurality of sensors and transmission interface. The wearable casing and the multiple sensors include mechanisms to determine whether the infant is prone or supine.

Abstract:

Provided are mechanisms and processes for an infant caregiver system. The system includes a platform interface, platform storage, and a platform processor. The platform interface is configured to receive measurement data transmitted from an infant monitoring system. The infant monitoring system includes an infant monitoring device having a plurality of sensors that gather the measurement data corresponding to activity associated with a first infant. Platform storage is configured to store learning content and infant de-identified data. An infant profile is associated with the first infant and infant de-identified data is associated with a plurality of infants. The platform processor is configured to provide a platform portal. The platform portal serves as a user interface through which a caregiver associated with the first infant can access information from platform storage.
