20120259866 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY EVALUATING CONTRIBUTOR PERFORMANCE - A computer system automatically evaluates the performance of a content generator using content created by the content generator and user and content generator interactions with the content. Specifically, the system analyzes data regarding the content, e.g., a peer-review quality score, and analyzes data regarding user and/or content generator interactions with the content, e.g., website comments regarding the content. In addition, the system considers user and content generator interactions with the content on third-party websites, e.g., the number of Facebook® “likes” or other social media actions. The system applies rules to assign values to various data points (e.g., a value of 0.3 may be assigned for each Facebook® “like” by a user). The rules may also define weighing components to incentivize particular actions. Weighed values are summed to evaluate each content generator. The scores for each content generator may be compared to create a content generator ranking. | 10-11-2012 |

20110035431 | Dissemination of Information In an Intermittent Network Connectivity - The present invention provides a system and method for dissemination of information to a device in an environment in which network connectivity is intermittent. This is particularly useful in dissemination of information to PDA devices via a wireless connection, which may be unreliable and/or intermittent. Further, the method is particularly useful in dissemination of information to most PDA devices, which have operating environments that are particularly weak with respect to error recovery and exception handling capabilities, resulting in application crashes when there is a lack of network connectivity, even if temporary. The method involves receiving externally-stored network content via a wireless connection, converting references to externally-stored network content to references to locally-stored content, and storing the converted content as locally-stored content. The method may further include monitoring the externally-stored network content for updates, and updating the locally-stored content accordingly. | 02-10-2011 |
