| 20080281651 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A STRATEGIC PLAN VIA DEFINING AND ALIGNING STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENTS - A method and system for managing a strategic plan via developing and aligning strategy elements that include required business outcomes (RBOs), strategic business objectives (SBOs), and desired business outcomes (DBOs). RBOs are developed and assigned to key result areas (KRAs). RBOs are operational goals required by a higher-level organization, and deliverable via an execution of operational activities of a subordinate organization. KRAs are performance measurement categories included on the subordinate organization's scorecard and the higher-level organization's scorecard. SBOs are developed and assigned to KRAs, resulting in a first alignment of RBOs with SBOs. SBOs are strategic objectives of the subordinate organization. DBOs are developed and assigned to KRAs, resulting in a second alignment of DBOs with SBOs. DBOs are desired results of the subordinate organization. Strategic goals of the higher-level organization are monitored using RBO and DBO statuses and the first and second alignments. | 11-13-2008 |

| 20110217238 | Method of Diagnosing or Prognosing Epithelial Ovarian Cancer - The present invention provides a binding moiety which selectively binds to Sox11 protein and/or mRNA for imaging, diagnosis or prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Optionally, the moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof. Advantageously, moiety comprises a further, readily detectable moiety. The invention also provides methods of imaging EOC cells as well as methods of diagnosing or prognosing EOC in an individual. A further aspect of the present invention provides a method of identifying cells associated with EOC, the method comprising analysing the pattern of gene expression in a sample of cells to be tested and comparing it to the pattern of gene expression in a sample of known lymphomas cells. Preferably, the cells to be tested are identified as EOC cells if the expression of Sox11 is up-regulated compared to normal B-cells. Preferably EOC cells are identified as improved recurrence-free survival-associated if expression of Sox11 is up-regulated compared with non-cancerous epithelial ovarian cells. Preferably, EOC cells are identified as diminished recurrence-free survival-associated if expression of Sox11 is similar to, or down-regulated, compared with non-cancerous epithelial ovarian cells. | 09-08-2011 |

The notification management permits manipulation of the message notifications without influencing the status of the messages themselves, while providing access to the data contained in these messages. This addresses the needs of those users who frequently check their incoming communications queues and need to determine very quickly which items need urgent attention and which ones can be deferred. The present invention further provides specific functionalities for handling a particular message when it does need urgent attention. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20090017919 | DETECTING CONTACTS DURING SPORTING ACTIVITIES ETC. - A method and an apparatus are described for determining parameters of a contact between bodies occurring within an activity. A digital camera directed towards a target area during the activity captures image frames including infra red image data. Structure for comparing image data for multiple temporally spaced frames with image data of a reference datum records any localised infra red emission appearing in at least one incident frame. The image data for at least one of the incident frames is analysed to determine at least one parameter of the contact, and the image data for the incident frame is recorded. Visual display means displays the incident frames including the image data in the IR spectrum to enable visual inspection of the activity in the target area at the time of the incident frame and that gave rise to the contact producing the infra red emission. | 01-15-2009 |
