| 20120072427 | EFFECTIVE PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION USING THE REAL-TIME WEB - A method for generating product recommendations comprises analyzing a database of messages, comprising a set of messages posted by users of a micro-blogging service to generate a user index and a product index. The user index comprises for each of a plurality of users of the system, a ranked set of terms included by the user in their posted messages. The product index comprises for each product which is to be potentially recommended, a ranked set of terms derived from messages posted by users and referencing the product. Responsive to a query identifying a user, the user index for the user is compared to the product indices to return a limited set of product identifiers corresponding to product indices most similar to the user index. The set of product identifiers are provided as recommendations to a service provider. | 03-22-2012 |

| 20110276770 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ANALYSING MOST RECENTLY USED REGISTRY KEYS - A method is disclosed for analysing a computing device including a non-volatile storage medium in which a set of snapshots is stored. Each snapshot comprises at least one most recently used, MRU, key for an application, at least one MRU key having a plurality of elements. The method comprises comparing a first MRU key from a first snapshot for a first time and a corresponding second MRU key for a second snapshot for a second time temporally following said first time. If the second MRU key has a second element identified as less recently used than a first element of the second MRU key and the second element of the first MRU key is identified as not being less recently used than the first element of the first MRU key, the first element is labelled as having been newly modified between the first and second times. | 11-10-2011 |

Accordingly, the invention also relates to methods of modulating learning and memory function, methods of diagnosing learning and memory disorders, and methods of identifying compounds that modulate learning and memory function via manipulations of the nucleic acid molecules and their products. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110137213 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THERAPEUTIC EXERGAMING - A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium for storing or recording instructions in machine readable form. The instructions, when executed in a motion sensor enabled smart phone, record target data associated with a response of the motion sensor to a desired sequence of movements of a user performing a therapeutic exercise while wearing the smart phone, map the target data to run-time target parameters of a software application, receive performance data associated with a response of the motion sensor to a subsequent sequence of movements of the user performing the therapeutic exercise while wearing the smart phone, map the performance data to the target parameters of the software application to determine the operation of the software application and provide information for display on a remote monitor visible to the user indicating the quality of the user's performance of the exercise. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110136738 | Alternatively Transcribed Genes Associated with Schizophrenia - Methods of identifying gene targets associated with schizophrenia or the symptoms thereof, as well as to specific nucleic acid molecules that have been discovered to be associated with schizophrenia are provided. Accordingly, the invention also relates to methods of modulating schizophrenia or the symptoms thereof, methods of diagnosing schizophrenia or the symptoms thereof, methods for predicting the susceptibility to schizophrenia or the symptoms thereof, and methods of identifying compounds that modulate schizophrenia or the symptoms thereof via manipulations of the nucleic acid molecules and their products. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110039039 | WETTING A SURFACE OF A SOLID SUBSTRATE WITH A LIQUID METAL - A method of wetting a surface of a solid substrate with a liquid metal, comprises activating said surface with a high energy beam; and introducing the liquid metal to the surface while in the active state, the temperature of the surface being above the melting point of the liquid metal. | 02-17-2011 |
