| 20090055460 | GENERATED CONTENT FOR EDITABLE WEB PAGES - A method and system for WYSIWYG editing of dynamic content on editable web pages. Generated content is content that is received periodically from a dynamic source. Generated content may be represented on an editable web page by instructions that describe how to generate the dynamic content. The generated content system presents generated elements in a non-editable manner while allowing modification of their instructions and also allowing complete editing functionality of any surrounding static content. Thus, the generated content system allows the user to include generated content in an editable web page in a way that clearly identifies the generated content during editing and still allows the user to modify the content. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20090073174 | USER INTERFACE FOR EXPRESSING FORECASTING ESTIMATES - A user interface allows a user to freehand draw a probability density curve, or to select from predetermined probability densities, such as a normal distribution. The probability density represents the user's opinion regarding the probability of occurrence for different outcomes of a future event. The user can easily manipulate the shape of the probability density by dragging portions of the curve using an input device, such as to change the mean or standard deviation. Further, a scoring rule is applied to the probability density so that an updated score is displayed as the probability density is manipulated. The probability density can be input to an estimate contest or a prediction market, for instance. The user interface can also allow the user to freehand draw a scoring curve from which a probability density can be computed based on a scoring rule. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090076939 | CONTINUOUS BETTING INTERFACE TO PREDICTION MARKET - A user participates in trading securities in a prediction market which represent different outcomes of an event, using an interface which allows the user to understand a trade in terms of a bet. The interface also allows the user to explore different bet amounts while receiving feedback on potential payoffs in real time. In one approach, a tool is used which is moved in one direction by the user to indicate a larger trade for an outcome, or in the opposite direction to indicate a larger trade against the outcome. A bet for an outcome can be translated into a purchase of a corresponding security which represents the outcome. A bet against a particular outcome can be translated into a purchase of securities which represents all other outcomes. The user interfaces hides complexities of the market from the user while surfacing relevant information. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090076974 | COMBINED ESTIMATE CONTEST AND PREDICTION MARKET - Users participate in an estimate contest and a prediction market for forecasting an outcome of a future event. Data from the estimate contest and the prediction market can be combined to obtain accurate information about overall group beliefs and individual or sub-groups beliefs. In the estimate contest, users provide estimated probabilities of occurrence for different possible outcomes of the event. Trades can be proposed, or automatically executed, based on differences between the user's estimated probabilities and probabilities obtained from a prediction market in which the user can buy and sell securities which represent the different outcomes. For example, a buying opportunity may be present when the user's estimated probability exceeds the prediction market's probability. Further, the user can express a risk level which is factored into the proposed trades. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20110125733 | QUICK ACCESS UTILITY - Users are enabled to perform tasks such as creating new content, searching for items, communicating with other users through a simplified access interface, at the same time defining a location for the access interface. A user may begin typing at any location on a canvas. The system ranks possible outcomes, suggesting one as the best match, where the user can override that choice upon which the resulting action is displayed at the point the input was initially placed. The user may be provided options to select among available tasks and the tasks may be performed without selecting an application. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100279248 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PREDICTING THE LIKELIHOOD OF CARIES DEVELOPMENT - A hand-held intra-oral dental device and method are described for the detection of pre-caries lesions and the prediction of evolution and prognosis of same. The present invention has as its foundation a low-cost tool for predicting the likelihood of the development of Early Childhood Caries (ECC), in contrast to other techniques and associated devices, where their focus is to identify individual pre-caries lesions. This method focuses on the detection of caries precursors or of their patterns and the relationship of those precursors and patterns to the likelihood of subsequent dental disease. The implications for the establishment for early preventive treatment are profound, namely the earliest implementation of preventative therapy for our approach relative to that of the other approaches. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20100299336 | DISAMBIGUATING A SEARCH QUERY - Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for disambiguating a search query are provided. A query may be ambiguous when the domain-confidence factors indicate a high likelihood that the search query may belong to two or more domains. A domain is a subject matter category such as shopping, sports, entertainment, music, or politics. A domain-confidence factor indicates the likelihood that a search query is related to a particular domain. Upon determining that a search query is ambiguous, embodiments of the present invention may present an interface that allows the user to place the search query into one or more domains. Updated search results, or other objects, may be returned based on the selection of a domain by the user. | 11-25-2010 |
