In an illustrative implementation, a data scraping and processing computing environment comprises a data scraping and processing engine operable to process/scrape legacy regulatory compliance data stored on one or more cooperating legacy data stores according to one or more selected data scraping guidelines. The data scraping guidelines can be defined according to one or more data types stored on the one or more cooperating legacy data stores. The one or more data scraping guidelines are defined by the data scraping and processing engine based on one or more characteristics of the identified legacy data stores. The data scraping and processing engine processes the stored data scrape and aggregate selected legacy regulatory compliance data for use in populating one or more selected regulatory compliance data templates.03-05-2009

20120093801TARGETED DELIVERY OF THERAPEUTIC AGENTS WITH LYOPHILIZED MATRICES - Embodiments of surgical grafts, and methods, for the delivery of therapeutic agents to a target tissue via acellular matrices, are described. In some embodiments, nonviable matrices are successful in preventing or lessening adhesion formation by guiding tissue repair and remodeling, while also providing the target tissue with therapeutic agents that can act as repair and remodeling factors. An exemplary method to modulate flexor tendon healing and provide elimination or reduction of fibrotic adhesions involves loading a freeze-dried flexor digitorum longus allograft with recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors for the targeted and transient expression of growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF5).04-19-2012

20090247137POTENTIAL CALL DROP INDICATOR - Mobile device user notifications of highly likely call drops or service losses are provided. A wireless network can determine from the location history of a mobile device if that mobile device is likely to lose connectivity to the wireless network or to a particular wireless service and issue an alert to the user. The form of the alert can be through one of various types of mobile device messages, or through an application on the mobile device. The mobile device's location can be determined using the global positioning system. Alternative directions can be provided to the user so that the user can travel without losing connectivity. The user may provide a destination before beginning travel, and receive a suggested course of travel that keeps the user within a higher quality coverage area.10-01-2009
20100158210PERSONALIZED INTERACTIVE VOICE RESPONSE SYSTEM - An interactive voice response process that permits an intelligent interactive voice system to communicate with a caller includes receiving a call and connecting the caller with the system. The process also includes identifying the caller, determining if the caller is a first time caller or a repeat caller, and interactively communicating with the caller in accordance with an interactive script. For each first time caller, the process establishes a personal profile of the caller from information gathered from the caller. The process then develops a predictive personalized interactive communication dialog for future calls from the caller based on information gathered from the caller during the interactive communication and stored in the caller's personal profile.06-24-2010
20110082896Dynamically Updated Web-Enabled and Embedded Contact Address in Communication Devices - Systems and methods for seamless automated updating of a subscriber's address book based on relationships or “links” created between a subscriber and their contacts. The contacts are stored in a centralized addressbook database, and any updates to a subscriber's profile or record within the database results in an update to each of the subscriber's contacts' local address books stored on the contacts' devices. The system includes communication devices on a network being associated with subscribers of the network and an application server hosting an addressbook application, the application server having linking logic that creates a link between the subscribers where a modification of the first address on the addressbook database by the first subscriber results in a subsequent modification of the first address within a local copy of the addressbook database stored on a memory on the second device associated with the second subscriber.04-07-2011

20090156940DUAL-LAYER TRANSDUCER FOR RECTILINEAR OR CURVILINEAR THREE-DIMENSIONAL BROADBAND ULTRASOUND - Dual-layer acoustic transducer array designs, related fabrication methods, and ultrasound imaging techniques are described. The designs include two perpendicular 1-D arrays for clinical 3-D acoustic imaging of targets near the transducer. These targets can include the breast, carotid artery, prostate, and musculoskeletal system among others. The transducer designs reduce the fabrication complexity and the channel count making 3-D rectilinear imaging more realizable. With such designs, an effective N×N 2-D array can be developed using only N transmitters and N receivers. This benefit becomes very significant when N becomes greater than 128, for example. Embodiments/aspects of the present disclosure are directed to fabricating and interconnecting 2-D arrays with a large number of elements (>5,000) for 3-D rectilinear imaging.06-18-2009
