20100306665INTELLIGENT BACKWARD RESOURCE NAVIGATION - A system for navigating among resources includes a target detection module detecting whether a first resource has been branched from to two other different resources and a backward navigation module operable to detect selection of a backward navigation button and cause navigation to the first resource. A method includes designating a target resource accessible via a backward navigation button in a first browser session, detecting selection of the backward navigation button in a second browser session, and navigating to the target resource in the second browser session. The method can involve detecting hovering of a pointer icon over the backward navigation button and responsively presenting a thumbnail of a resource associated with the backward navigation button.12-02-2010

20100108064SYSTEMS AND/OR METHODS FOR GUIDING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN THERAPY MODES IN CONNECTION WITH TREATMENT AND/OR DIAGNOSIS OF SLEEP-DISORDERED BREATHING - In certain example embodiments, a system and/or method of guiding transitions between therapy modes in connection with the treatment and/or diagnosis of a patient for a respiratory disorder is/are provided. Respiratory disorder treatment according to a first therapy mode is provided. Input indicating a second therapy mode to be transitioned to following provision of the first therapy mode is received, with the second therapy mode being different from the first therapy mode. At least one default treatment parameter suitable for the second therapy mode is assigned or calculated. Each default treatment parameter of the second therapy mode is presented, with each default treatment parameter being adjustable by an operator during the presenting. Transitioning from the first therapy mode to the second therapy mode is performed by providing respiratory disorder treatment in accordance with the second therapy mode and each default treatment parameter and any adjustments made thereto prior to the transitioning. Advantageously, the chances of a patient being disturbed by transitioning from mode-to-mode are reduced.05-06-2010

20090132368Systems and Methods for Providing Personalized Advertisement - A method for providing personalized advertisement to a first user. The method includes the steps of: displaying a first advertisement to users; defining segments for a user community preference; assigning each of the users to one of the segments in response to the user's level of interest in the user community preference; identifying a first group of the users interested in the first advertisement; identifying a second group of the users not interested in the first advertisement; determining the percentage of the first group of users assigned to the segment; determining the percentage of the second group of users assigned to the segment; determining whether each segment is an indicator for user interest in the first advertisement by comparing the two percentages associated with the segment; and targeting a second advertisement to users assigned to the segment if the segment is an indicator for user interest in the first advertisement.05-21-2009

20090061898Methods and Apparatus for Providing Location Data with Variable Validity and Quality - Methods, systems and computer program products for determining a location of a device based on location information are described. In some implementations, location assist information may be requested so as to determine a location of sufficient quality to satisfy a requesting application. Upon receiving the location assist information, empherides from one or more visible sources may be requested. The location assist information may be used to determine the location of the device until the device has received and decoded the empherides.03-05-2009
20090167599Location Based Services Information Storage and Transport - Methods, systems and computer program products for providing an adaptive active location information gathering algorithm are described. Specifically, significant information density gains can be achieved by using an adaptive active location information gathering algorithm. The adaptive algorithm may select a compression and decompression encoding appropriate to deliver maximum information density while being adjusted automatically to accommodate variations including velocity and duration changes within a defined reporting period to ensure versatility and maximum efficiency.07-02-2009
20110295740System And Method For Secure Transactions - A secure transaction system includes an image generator configured to generate human readable characters, a random placement generator coupled to the image generator, and an encoding system configured to encode the human readable characters in a data stream in an order determined by the placement generator, wherein the transaction system is configured to transmit the data stream to a user interface and to receive a selected data stream from the user interface. Also included is a method for secure transaction processing including receiving an encoded data stream representative of a plurality of human readable characters positioned in a random order, selecting a human readable character from the plurality of human readable characters, and transmitting a portion of an encoded data stream representative of the selected human readable character.12-01-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100151490Antigenic Protein Conjugates and Process for Preparing Same - An improved process for the preparation of antigenic protein conjugates is provided. The conjugates preferably are formed through reaction with one or more free sulfhydryl groups in the antigenic protein. The process of the present invention preferably employs a trialkylphosphine as the reducing agent and allows for reduction of disulfide bonds in the antigenic protein and conjugation with a conjugate moiety, preferably in a single reaction vessel (i.e. “in situ”) because the process optimally does not require the removal of the reducing agent before subsequent addition of the sulfhydryl reactive agent. Antigenic protein conjugates prepared by the in situ process and their use in diagnostic immunoassays are also provided.06-17-2010
