| 20090157612 | USER-CREATED SEARCH RESULTS IN AN INCENTIVE SCHEME - An economy is created where users compete to get their search lists shown based on a set of criteria. The search lists can be displayed after the users pay a rent associated with a query. The search lists continue to be displayed if search lists are popular with the public. If a search list is popular, it earns revenue for the creator of the list. If the search list is not popular, it is removed from being displayed and receives no further consideration. The creator initially creates a search list for a low-valued query and moves up to creating a search list for a higher-valued query if the creator can pay the higher rent associated with the higher-valued query. The creator earns more revenue when targeting higher-valued queries. The creator continues to create search lists until the highest-valued queries are reached. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20120023101 | SMART DEFAULTS FOR DATA VISUALIZATIONS - Smart defaults are provided for data visualization by creating a default layout of rows, columns, filters, and comparable elements that improve a user's experience in finding relevant answers within the data. Usage history of the ways that users look at data in various data sources, user specific information, and inferred relationships between a current user and similar users are used to determine elements relevant to visualization of data for a particular user such that the visualization process may be automatically started, and a relevance model is formed/adjusted based on these factors. Queries may also be executed in a preemptive fashion based on the relevance model and results provided to a requesting user more rapidly enhancing user experience with networked data visualization. | 01-26-2012 |

| 20110115814 | GESTURE-CONTROLLED DATA VISUALIZATION - Architecture that establishes a set of gestural movements that can be made by a finger (by any other input device) on a touch display that allows a presenter to perform basic analytic functions of a data visualization such as a chart or a graph having one or more graphical elements for selection. The analytic functions can include changing the presentation format of the chart, choosing to include or exclude certain data, and/or displaying the details of a data point, for example. The gestures facilitate at least making changes to the chart (or graph) from one display method to another, such as to a pie chart, to a bar chart, to a line chart, etc., the selection of multiple elements of the data visualization, exclusion of all but selected elements therefrom, and the presentation of detailed information about an element. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20110256161 | METHODS FOR ENHANCING IMMUNE RESPONSE - This disclosure demonstrates a novel therapy immunological approach using polyamine-based therapy (PBT) for relieving tumor-induced suppression of the patient's immune system. The demonstration of the pharmacological release from the naturally occurring polyamine-mediated immune suppression offers profound impact on the immunotherapy of cancer together with a variety of diseases caused by the disease-causing vector's ability to evade an immune reaction. This therapeutic approach is equally applicable to disease states whereby immune system suppression by polyamines has been demonstrated including; bacterial infections, parasitic infections including malaria and typanosomiasis, viral infections, peptic ulcers and gastric cancer due to | 10-20-2011 |

| 20090076983 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBJECT-ORIENTED MANAGEMENT OF MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DATA - Methods and systems for managing and analyzing multi-dimensional data are provided. Example embodiments provide a Meta-Object Data Management System “MODMS,” which enables users to arrange and to rearrange the hierarchical relationships of the data on an ad-hoc basis and allows the data to be analyzed using any set of attributes (dimensions) while the system is running. The MODMS represents heterogeneous data in a normalized (standardized) fashion using an object type management system that allows the arbitrary coercion of one type of object into another different type of object and automatically resolves attribute dependencies. In one embodiment, the MODMS comprises an object type management subsystem; a meta-object instantiation subsystem; one or more data repositories that hold, for example, the data used to populate objects and object type definitions; and an input/output interface. These components cooperate to allow the creation, management, and analysis of relationships between many different types of single and multi-dimensional data. In one embodiment, the MODMS is used to implement an enterprise portfolio management system. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20090248730 | Data Binding for XML Schemas - A user interface may be generated from an XML schema. For a data object definition in an XML schema, a user interface object may be defined, and a memory store for the data object may be created and bound to the user interface object. The user interface component may be defined in the XML schema, as a separate file, or within an XML document. A user interface object may be selected based on the data type, and various limits and display mechanisms and input devices may be configured based on the schema. When bound, the data stored in the memory store may be reflected in the user interface component, and changes to the user interface component may be reflected in the memory store. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100262902 | Schema Based User Interface Mechanisms - A user interface may be generated from a schema and a rule template to create data usable by an application. The schema may define the broad constraints of the data acceptable to the application, and the rule template may include specialized knowledge or logic for selecting appropriate data values. An automated user interface generator may use default values or information in the rule template to generate a user interface. In one embodiment, a schema and rule template may be used to generate policies for managing computing devices in an enterprise environment. The rule template may include rules that reflect expert knowledge or recommendations for selecting settings, and may include complex rules that incorporate attributes or values from several different configurable parameters. | 10-14-2010 |
