If you are able to view this, it is a "United States Patent Application Publication" that is found by following the `view pdf` button on the above link:

https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=patentimages.st...

Searching on the USPTO website returns no related patents:

http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

The indication, to me, is that the patent has not made it past the application process.

USPTO's PAIR website indicates that the application was rejected for non-patentability. I'd link it but PAIR doesn't do permanent links. Go to the main page at [1] and type in the application or publication number.
