US Patent:

7950879, May 31, 2011

Filed:

Jun 13, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/138686

Inventors:

Kenneth Michael Hoganson - Aurora CO, US
Daniel R. Gross - Highlands Ranch CO, US

Assignee:

Translogic Corporation - Denver CO

International Classification:

B65G 53/66

US Classification:

406 12, 406 10

Abstract:

Provided herein are systems and methods for use in controlling a translocation process of a pneumatic tube system in order to reduce the amount of energy transferred from the tube system to a pneumatic carrier and, hence, its contents. Generally, these utilities entail identifying and/or reducing forces applied to a pneumatic carrier traveling through a travel path within a pneumatic tube system. The systems and method disposed herein allow for varying the velocity of a pneumatic carrier as it passes through a travel path of the pneumatic system. Such varying of the velocity allows for reducing the total forces applied to the pneumatic carrier during passage through the system. In one arrangement, the power output of a power source connected to a compressor device is altered to vary the velocity of pneumatic carries in the system.

Hyo Jeong Shin - Santa Clara CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/10

Abstract:

In an example method, a mobile device receives a first calendar item associated with a first event. The first calendar item includes a first text string. The mobile device determines a correlation between the first text string and one or more locations associated with one or more second events. The mobile device determines a suggested location for the first event based on the correlation.

Inventors:

- Cupertino CA, US
Daniel C. Gross - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/0488

Abstract:

Systems and methods for generating and providing intelligent time to leave reminders on an electronic device are disclosed herein. In one aspect, the method includes: automatically, without human intervention, identifying a calendar entry including a first identifier (e.g., text in the title of a calendar entry that relates to a location, such as “go to dental checkup”), the first identifier corresponding to a geographic location that is unknown. The method further includes: automatically, without human intervention, retrieving a previously-visited address (e.g., a street address or GPS coordinates for the street address) associated with the first identifier. The method also includes: automatically, without human intervention, determining a departure time for the calendar entry based on the previously-visited address (e.g., based on a route from the current location of the device to the previously-visited address). The method additionally includes: automatically, without human intervention, associating the determined departure time with the calendar entry.

G06F 17/27

Abstract:

Systems and processes for detecting an event within natural language are provided. In one example of a process, unstructured natural language information may be received from at least one user. The presence of event information in the unstructured natural language information may be determined. In accordance with a determination that event information is present within the unstructured natural language information, a pseudo-event entry associated with that event information may be generated.
