20110035458 | System and Method for Targeting Advertisements or Other Information Using User Geographical Information - A request for information items may include content information associated with one or more electronic messages and geographical information associated with the requesting user. A set of information items is identified based on the user geographical information and the message content of the one or more electronic messages. In some embodiments, at least one of the information items is identified based on both the user geographical information and the message content. In some embodiments, if the user geographical information is different from the user's default geographical information, at least one of the information items is identified based on the user geographical information, but not the message content. A subset of the identified information items may be selected in accordance with a scoring or ranking function. The selected information items are transferred to the requesting client and displayed concurrently with (e.g., next to) the electronic messages. | 02-10-2011 |

20130239120 | CONCURRENT ASSERTION - A concurrency assertions system disclosed herein provides for atomic evaluation of an assertion expression by locking an assertion lock upon initiating an assertion and thereby protecting the assertion evaluation from concurrent modifications to the variables in the assertion expressions. When a violation of an assertion is detected, the concurrency assertions system ensures that the exception statistics at the time of the assertion violation represents a program state where the assertion is violated, thus improving analysis of assertion violations. Furthermore, the concurrency assertions system continuously evaluates an expression for an assertion for a time period while other threads in the program are being executed. | 09-12-2013 |

20140074612 | System and Method for Targeting Information Items Based on Popularities of the Information Items - Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media are provided for selecting information items in connection with electronic messages. A request is obtained for a conversation from a user. The conversation including a plurality of electronic messages. A response to the request for the conversation is made. The request includes selecting an electronic message from the plurality of electronic messages in the conversation. Also, a plurality of information items is selected for a group of users including the user based on information identifying a communication channel, through which the group of users communicate with the computing system. The plurality of information items is associated with a keyword included in the electronic message. The plurality of information items and the conversation are then formatted for provision to the user. | 03-13-2014 |

20110196258 | NESTING ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND GUIDED BIOPSY DEVICE - A biopsy device for insertion to a target site within a living body comprises a first longitudinal element including a first longitudinal element extending from a first element proximal end to a tissue piercing first element distal end and, the first longitudinal element defining a first lumen extending therethrough from a proximal opening at the first element proximal end to a distal opening at the first element distal end. The first longitudinal element is sufficiently flexible to be inserted to a target site along a tortuous path within a natural body lumen and a second longitudinal element extending from a proximal end to a tissue piercing second element distal end. The second longitudinal element is sized to be slidably received in the first lumen and defining a second lumen extending therewithin to a tissue receiving opening at the second element distal end. The second longitudinal element is sufficiently flexible to be inserted to a target site along a tortuous path within a natural body lumen. | 08-11-2011 |
20120197157 | Distal Tip Configurations for Biopsy with EUS FNA - A biopsy device includes a needle extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough and a stylet extending through the channel of the needle and including a coil at a distal end thereof such that rotation of the stylet relative to the needle moves the coil from a closed configuration in the channel to a tissue collecting configuration in which the coil extends distally past the distal end of the needle to be inserted into a target tissue. | 08-02-2012 |
