20150302755 | MEASUREMENT OF EDUCATIONAL CONTENT EFFECTIVENESS - A method and system for evaluating the effectiveness of educational content is disclosed. An indicator of behavior of a user operating a user device is obtained. The indicator of the behavior of the user represents a usage of the user device by the user. An expected educational level of the user is obtained and a current educational skill level of the user is determined based on the indicator of the behavior of the user. The effectiveness of the educational content is evaluated based on a comparison of the current and expected educational skill levels of the user. | 10-22-2015 |

20090276733 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR PRESENTING AN INTERACTIVE HIERARCHY AND INDICATING ENTRY OF INFORMATION THEREIN - A method, computer system, and graphical user interface for presenting an interactive hierarchy and indicating entry of information therein is disclosed. An interactive hierarchy is used to organize information using nodes arranged in multiple levels, where the interactive hierarchy may also be used to select a node to operate on. The interactive hierarchy may provide sense-of-place by depicting the organization of the nodes and indicating which node a user is operating on. An indicator is also provided which indicates whether one or more types of information have been entered for a given node, level of nodes, etc., thereby providing sense-of-task by enabling a user to determine which types of information have already been entered, which types of information have yet to be entered, etc. Further, a task indicator may be provided for stepping users through various information entry and/or management tasks, thereby further improving sense-of-task. | 11-05-2009 |
20100162246 | USE OF ANALYTICS TO SCHEDULE, SUBMIT OR MONITOR PROCESSES OR REPORTS - Embodiments of the invention provide for executing a batch process on a repository of information. According to one embodiment, executing a batch process can comprise presenting one or more aspects of records of the repository and receiving a selection of a criteria for at least one aspect of the records. Records matching the selected criteria can be identified and a summary of the information can be presented. The batch process can comprise one of a plurality of batch processes. In such a case, a selection of the batch process can be received and parameters of the batch process can be populated with the selected criteria. The batch process can then be executed with the parameters. For example, executing the batch process can comprise generating a report based on the parameters and the records of the repository. | 06-24-2010 |

20120265705 | BENEFITS SELF SERVICE PRODUCT - A system and method for selectively conveying information via a benefits self service product. An example method includes determining, with reference to a repository of employee data, characteristics associated with an employee or prospective employee; ascertaining employee benefits options offered by an enterprise; employing the characteristics and the benefits options to select one or more example matches between one or more benefits options and an employee or prospective employee; and displaying an indication of the one or more example matches to an employee of the enterprise. In a more specific embodiment, a user interface enables an administrator to specify information comprising different cards in a set of predetermined cards. The indication of one or more example matches is provided via an electronic card that is selected from among the set of cards. The selected card is adapted to convey information pertaining to an example set of previously made choices by others with characteristics that match the characteristics of the employee or prospective employee. | 10-18-2012 |
20130047107 | REVERSE BENEFITS DESIGNER - In a method, system, and computer-readable medium having instructions for a reverse benefits designer, one or more objects available for creating a plan design framework are displayed in a graphical user interface, an indication of an object from the one or more objects selected for placement in a hierarchy of the plan design framework depicted on the graphical user interface is received, and data is stored in a repository for the plan design framework in accordance with the object placement. | 02-21-2013 |

20140013492 | PROTECTIVE HELMET FOR MITIGATION OF LINEAR AND ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION - Embodiments provide protective helmets configured to protect the head from linear and rotational acceleration in an impact. In various embodiments, the helmets may include an outer layer, an inner layer, and at least one intermediate layer coupled to the outer and inner layers by alternate fixation sites, thereby providing a suspension between the outer and inner layers. In various embodiments, the intermediate layer may be made from a honeycomb material, such as an aluminum honeycomb. In use, in-plane deformation of the honeycomb may allow for translation of the outer layer in a substantially tangential direction relative to the inner layer, thereby mitigating rotational acceleration imparted by the tangential impact component. Additionally, crumpling of the honeycomb in a substantially non-elastic manner may deplete impact energy to minimize the elastic rebound that can contribute to linear and rotational head acceleration, thereby mitigating linear acceleration imparted by the perpendicular impact component. | 01-16-2014 |
20140052405 | CONCUSSION DETECTION AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A concussion detection and communication system is described. In some examples a concussion data module may be worn by one or more subjects. Each concussion data module may include multiple accelerometers and may communicate data signals wirelessly to a base unit. Upon determining that the base unit is not within effective communication range, a concussion data module may relay signals to the base unit through another concussion data module. | 02-20-2014 |
