| 20100160039 | OBJECT MODEL AND API FOR GAME CREATION - A game creator provides a set of abstractions (objects) that make game creation simpler. The abstractions provided in the game creation component include Game, Scene, and Actor. A Game abstraction comprises global settings for the game and includes one or more Scenes. Each Scene abstraction within the game includes one or more Actors. By setting properties and behaviors on these three abstractions, Game creators with little or no skill in programming can create games. Filtering can be performed declaratively through selection of appropriate options. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20090082111 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING USERS BASED ON COMMON INTERESTS, SUCH AS SHARED INTERESTS OF REPRESENTATIONS OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES - A system and method for connecting users based on common participation, ownership, or interest in a commodity or market, such as common ownership of a player associated with fantasy sports, is described. In some cases, the system presents a page associated with the commonly-interesting player to a user. In some cases, the provided content includes comments provided by other users or content provided by sources other than a source hosting a fantasy sports league associated with the player. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20090017033 | Methods for interfering with RANKL signaling - Disclosed herein are kits for detecting RANKL protein or nucleic acids, the kits comprising isolated human RANKL polypeptides, RANKL nucleic acids and/or antibodies specific for RANKL. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090018316 | Interleukin-15 receptors - There are disclosed Interleukin-15 Receptor (IL-15R) proteins, DNAs and expression vectors encoding IL-15R, and processes for producing IL-15R as products of recombinant cell cultures. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20100080801 | LIR-9, a novel leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor - A new family of immunoreceptor molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily, (LIR) polypeptides is described. Disclosed are sequences encoding LIR family members and their deduced amino acid sequences, polypeptides encoded by DNA that hybridizes to defined nucleotide sequences, processes for producing polypeptides of the LIR family, and specific antibodies directed against LIR polypeptides. LIR family members can be used to treat autoimmune diseases and disease states associated with suppressed immune function. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20100138793 | DISCRETE OBJECTS FOR BUILDING VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS - Described is a virtual environment built by drawing stacks of three-dimensional objects (e.g., discrete blocks) as manipulated by a user. A user manipulates one or more objects, resulting in stack heights being changed, e.g., by adding, removing or moving objects to/from stacks. The stack heights are maintained as sample points, e.g., each point indexed by its associated horizontal location. A graphics processor expands height-related information into visible objects or stacks of objects by computing the vertices for each stack to draw that stack's top surface, front surface and/or side surface based upon the height-related information for that stack. Height information for neighboring stacks may be associated with the sample point, whereby a stack is only drawn to where it is occluded by a neighboring stack, that is, by computing the lower vertices for a surface according to the height of a neighboring stack where appropriate. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20080213458 | METHOD FOR USING INGREDIENTS TO ENRICH THE NUTRITIONAL CONTENT OF A FOOD PRODUCT WITHOUT ALTERING ITS SENSORY PROFILE - A food development method to enrich a target food product recipe by the addition of ingredients made into purees that when incorporated into a target food recipe replicate the taste, color, and texture of the target food product. The purees are designed to minimize impact on color, taste, and texture when added to a target food product recipe. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20100184654 | ANTI-MICROBIAL TARGETING CHIMERIC PHARMACEUTICAL - The present invention is based on the discovery of a composition that provides targeted anti-microbial effect. Specifically the composition contains a targeting moiety which recognizes a target microbial organism and an anti-microbial peptide moiety which has anti-microbial activity. In addition, the present invention provides methods of treating a microbial infection, e.g., on mucosal surfaces by using the compositions provided by the present invention. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20100324979 | COMPUTER-BASED ANALYSIS OF AFFILIATE SITE PERFORMANCE - A performance analysis system analyzes the performance of affiliate sites that provide links to specific items in an electronic catalog, and identifies catalog items that can be listed by such affiliate web sites to improve performance. An association mining component analyzes transaction data attributable to specific categories or types of affiliate web sites to identify items that are frequently purchased in combination by users of such sites. The detected item associations are used to evaluate, for a given affiliate site, whether significant disparities exist between the expected and actual sales quantities of specific items. The results of the analysis are incorporated into affiliate-specific performance reports, which may include specific recommendations for improving performance. The disclosed methods may also be used to analyze the performance of, and provide recommendations to, online sellers within an online mall, online marketplace, or online auction system. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20090112989 | TRUST-BASED RECOMMENDATION SYSTEMS - Systems and methods that analyze aggregated item evaluation behavior of users, to suggest a recommendation for the item. An analysis component forms a collective opinion by taking as input votes of users and trusted relationships established therebetween, to output an evaluation and/or recommendation for the item. Accordingly, within a linked structure of nodes, personalized recommendations to users (e.g., agents) are supplied about an item(s) based upon the opinions/reviews of other users, and in conjunction with the declared trust between the users. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20110016353 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM SCANNING - Systems and methods are provided for scanning files and directories in a distributed file system on a network of nodes. The nodes include metadata with attribute information corresponding to files and directories distributed on the nodes. In one embodiment, the files and directories are scanned by commanding the nodes to search their respective metadata for a selected attribute. At least two of the nodes are capable of searching their respective metadata in parallel. In one embodiment, the distributed file system commands the nodes to search for metadata data structures having location information corresponding to a failed device on the network. The metadata data structures identified in the search may then be used to reconstruct lost data that was stored on the failed device. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110145195 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCESSING AND UPDATING DISTRIBUTED DATA - Systems and methods are disclosed that provide an indexing data structure. In one embodiment, the indexing data structure is mirrored index tree where the copies of the nodes of the tree are stored across devices in a distributed system. In one embodiment, nodes that are stored on an offline device are restored, and an offline device that comes back online is merged into the distributed system and given access to the current indexing data structure. In one embodiment, the indexing data structure is traversed to locate and restore nodes that are stored on offline devices of the distributed system. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20100153285 | INTEGRATION OF NEWS INTO DIRECT SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS AND INTERACTIONS - The integration of news about members of a group into symmetrical group communications is described. Group members are delivered news items and information regarding members of the group, and are able to communicate with other members of the group in response to the news items. One embodiment dynamically generates aggregated RSS news feeds for a group of people or entities and correlates that aggregated data with biographical information, audio, and video media to provide rich information about the relevant parties to the news story. The embodiment also provides the capability of transmitting email or other electronic messages to the parties in the news story to facilitate two-way communication while maintaining the group members' privacy and anonymity. | 06-17-2010 |
