International Classification:

F04B 43/12
F04B 49/06

US Classification:

417 53, 417 31

Abstract:

A method of charging a compressed air storage tank for a vehicle increases the pressure in the storage tank from a first pressure to a second pressure. The method includes determining the first pressure according to a first detected vehicle engine load, and starting the charge cycle when the pressure detected in the storage tank is at least as low as the first pressure. The method further includes determining the second pressure according to a second detected vehicle engine load, and stopping the charge cycle when the pressure detected in the storage tank is at least as high as the second pressure.

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715205, 715234

Abstract:

System(s), method(s), and/or techniques (“tools”) are described that enable electronic document functionality for a limited-capability computing device. The tools may enable a computing device with limited display capabilities to present and enable navigation through nested items or hierarchical view levels of an electronic document. The tools may also build renderable view information by which a device may enable electronic document functionality based on the capabilities of that device.

Appl. No.:

11/227550

Inventors:

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709227000

Abstract:

Systems and/or methods (“tools”) are described that enable application-specific session states in a single session, a network entity to be brought down without data loss, additional privacy for session states, continuity when a session state's version differs from that of the session state's network application, cessation of unnecessary roundtrips attempting to fetch session states, and other techniques. Some of these techniques may be enabled with a data structure having a single binary large object having application-specific identifiers for portions of the binary large object, version identifiers for those portions, a client token indicating the client associated with session states in the binary large object, and a session identifier indicating the session in which these session states exist.

Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715769, 705 14, 705 27

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system, and media for enabling an advertisement to interact with a software application. This can include receiving advertising content that is to be hosted by a software application. The advertising content can include an advertisement to be presented as well as an object that includes product information. The object can be interacted with by the software application. The product information relates to a product offering that is being promoted by the advertisement. The method further includes presenting the advertisement within the software application, and enabling an interaction method with the software application such that the product information is utilized by the software application to present a presentation that becomes part of a work of the software application. The software application can then be used to modify imported product information. Links to the outside world enable dynamic updating of even the imported product information, and also enable transactions to be performed that are associated with the advertisement.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

705 1472, 709203, 705 1467

Abstract:

Systems, computer-implemented methods and computer-storage media are provided for presenting customizable advertisements to a user. Advertising is customized through the use of user-specific or user-relevant data. Items such as keywords, profile data, and application data are received and are then used to retrieve customizations. These customizations are stored by a server or group of servers that the vendor makes available to the advertising provider. Items that could further identify adaptations desirable for advertising, such as a user profile, may be sent to the vendor's server as well. The adaptations take forms that include pictures, text, graphics, links, audio, and video files. Systems that comprise an advertising server, a vendor server, and a client application used for completing the above method, as well as computer-readable media necessary at each device to accomplish the customizations, are also described.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

705 1449, 706 47, 715234

Abstract:

Technology is described for local ad targeting. An engine executing on a client computing device may select ads based on rules that can be modified without modifying the engine. The engine can select from advertisements stored locally based on data discovered at the client computing device, such as by observing the user's actions, stored documents, state of the client computing device and/or its peripherals, etc. The technology can employ plug-ins to extend functionality provided by the engine. The technology can include a plug-in manager that manages plug-ins. The technology can also download and manage rules. Each rule can specify what actions to take, such as when an event occurs. When a component of the operating system observes an event, the engine (or a rule executor component associated with the engine) executes each related rule. The technology can thus select ads based on arbitrary events of the operating system, applications, or other components.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 1443, 705 1473

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer media for dynamically updating online advertisements and providing updated online advertisements are provided. An object-oriented online advertisement is provided that has properties inherited from an advertisement class. The inherited properties include metadata fields and corresponding metadata values. The metadata fields and values determine the content, appearance, behavior, and other characteristics of the online advertisement when it is published on a web page. Changes to or addition or deletion of metadata fields and values in an advertisement class or subclass are communicated to the online advertisements, and the metadata of the advertisements are updated to reflect the changes.
