20130236181 | MULTI-DEGREE RECONFIGURABLE OPTICAL ADD-DROP MULTIPLEXING - Various architectures of a multi-degree reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer with reduced contention are provided. These architectures allow the degree of contention reduction to be managed in a flexible and modular way. The degree of the node and the amount of add/drop at the node can also be managed in a flexible and modular way. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 09-12-2013 |

20140156773 | MESSAGING SYSTEM FEATURING CONTROLLED DISTRIBUTION AND ACCESS TO SETS OF MESSAGES - A communication system comprises a plurality of electronic devices and a server in data communication with the plurality of electronic devices having at least one processor. The processor is configured for generating a message that is accessible only by authorized receivers having associated user identifiers, generating a notice indicative of the message, communicating the notice to the first receiver having an associated first user identifier, and automatically granting the first receiver access to the message. | 06-05-2014 |
20140157139 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING AND PRESENTING GEOLOCATION DATA - A system for managing and presenting geolocation data. The system includes a plurality of electronic devices and a server in data communication with a plurality of electronic devices. The server has a processor that is configured to receive requests from an electronic device for a map including a feature of interest and the feature having associated location information therewith. The location information is indicative of a geographic location of the feature and comprises information indicative of a precision of the geographic location. The processor provides a precise icon and an imprecise icon for representing a feature on a map, each having a constant size. The processor is also configured to determine whether to use the precise icon or the imprecise icon to represent the feature on the map based upon information indicative of a scale of the map and the precision of the location information associated with the feature. The processor generates the map including the feature being represented by the precise icon or the imprecise icon. | 06-05-2014 |
20140169217 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING NETWORK DATA - Described herein is a system and computer implemented method for displaying network data having a plurality of linked nodes. The method determines a set of linked nodes from downstream branches that emanate from a reference node and/or a parent reference node, and displays at least one of the linked nodes from the set of linked nodes to the user. The system may incorporate a processor, a memory, and a display for carrying out the method. | 06-19-2014 |
20140172917 | PRIVACY AND PERMISSION SYSTEM FOR A SOCIAL NETWORK - Systems and methods for managing and regulating communications over a social network are disclosed. A first member of the social network may have profile information comprising various information types each having an associated privacy level. A particular information type may be accessed by a recipient if they are assigned a direct permission level satisfying the privacy level of the particular information type. According to one method, the system determines whether a communication has been sent from the first member to the recipient, and automatically assigns the direct permission level to the recipient for accessing the first member's profile information. | 06-19-2014 |
