| 20110219384 | DYNAMIC LISTENER LOOKUP AND IMPLEMENTATION - Embodiments are directed to dynamically determining event listeners. A computer system sends a query to a data store to determine which event listeners are configured to listen for an indicated event. The event listeners are registered in the data store without the software module having to explicitly declare its event listeners. The computer system receives from the data store an indication of those event listeners that are configured to listen for the event. The computer system also sends the event to those event listeners indicated by the data store as being registered to receive notification of the event's occurrence. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20110165923 | ELECTRONIC CIRCLE GAME SYSTEM - A scanning game input mechanism that includes a light-emitting mechanism that defines multiple input regions for a game in which there are multiple players. Each of the input regions is a portion of the playing surface in which a corresponding player subset is to provide physical input (such as rolling dice, playing cards, or placing game pieces, and so forth) to affect game state. A scanning mechanism scans objects placed within the input regions, while a communication mechanism communicates information regarding the scanned object. The information might, for example, be communicated to affect an electronic game state maintained in another device or distributed across multiple devices. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20100248839 | WIRELESSLY DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONIC CIRCLE GAMING - A distributed electronic game system that includes a flat multi-touch functional central display that is capable of receiving wireless signals from surrounding game input devices, interpreting control actions from the wireless signals, and affecting game state in response to the control actions. The central display may be positioned horizontally and may act as a central play area for circle games. The central display includes general-purpose processing capability allowing the central display to be a central play area for a wide variety of board games and other circle games. The surrounding game input devices might be an orientation sensing game input device or may be private player consoles, or other game pieces. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20110218930 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING AND OBTAINING VALIDATED CUSTOMER FEEDBACK INFORMATION - Systems and methods for providing validated customer feedback information about a service provider. Generally, the method includes providing a customer with a digital ratings device, such as digital pen, that is capable of receiving feedback information from the customer and uploading the information to a third-party provider. As the customer uses the digital ratings device to provide the information, the device may associate the information with temporal data, such as the time, date, and location at which the customer provided the information. In some cases, the temporal data is checked to ensure that the customer is actually one of the provider's customers. Because the information is validated as coming from a verified customer, the information is often more reliable than it would be if it were submitted anonymously. Thus, the validated information may present a substantially fair representation of the provider and be useful to potential customers. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20100113891 | HEMODIALYSIS PATIENT DATA ACQUISITION, MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM - A hemodialysis patient data acquisition and management system resides on a host computer which receives information from one or more non-invasive, optical blood monitors associated with a hemodialysis system. When a patient is undergoing hemodialysis treatment, a sensor assembly monitors the patient's blood flowing through the hemodialysis system and a controller for the blood monitor generates data which includes at least an identification code for the patient undergoing the treatment on the respective system, and non-invasively determined blood data taken at the onset of the scheduled treatment, such as initial Hgb, HCT, and SAT values. A host computer communicates with the one or more optical blood monitors, preferably via a wireless network, and the patient's session commencement data is downloaded to the host computer. The host computer includes a patient database containing historical session commencement data for a plurality of patients, as well as screen displays for displaying historical data for individual patients, such as Hgb trends. The system also preferably provides a predictive algorithm for the patient's Hgb at the patient's next scheduled hemodialysis treatment session. The preferred system also includes software that provides a recommended dose of the anemia management drug for the patient. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20090112670 | HUMAN RESOURCES METHOD FOR EMPLOYEE TERMINATION PROCEDURES - In one example, a human resources method for employee termination procedures includes various acts. First, a server system receives, from a client system, an indication that an employee termination is voluntary. Next, the server system automatically generates a checklist listing a set of forms that correspond to the voluntary employee termination. Then, the server system automatically generates the set of forms. Finally, the server system sends, to the client system, the checklist and the set of forms. | 04-30-2009 |
