20100004527Identifying White Matter Fiber Tracts Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - Systems, methods, and software are used for identifying fibers based at least in part on magnetic resonance imaging. A fiber tract atlas for a nervous system includes atlas voxels that each represent a different volume element of the nervous system; a first atlas voxel represents a first volume element of the nervous system. The fiber tract atlas also includes information on orientations of a first fiber tract in the first volume element of the nervous system. Magnetic resonance data is acquired from the nervous system of a subject. The magnetic resonance data includes data voxels; a first data voxel relates to the first atlas voxel. A diffusion vector is generated for the first data voxel based at least in part on the acquired magnetic resonance data. The fiber tract atlas is used to find a probability that the first data voxel represents the first fiber tract based at least in part on the generated diffusion vector and the information on the orientations of the first fiber tract in the first volume element.01-07-2010

20110212783APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN ONLINE GAME MANAGER - The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A ONLINE GAME MANAGER (“OGM”) transform user social graph and online behavioral pattern data inputs via OGM components into optimized server computational load reports. In one embodiment, the OGM may process a user server migration request for a user by obtaining user social graph data identifying co-users, and social activity pattern data associated with the user and the co-users. The OGM may also obtain server load indices of servers associated with the co-users, and server load analysis rules. By analyzing the server load indices using the server load analysis rules, the OGM may identify a subset of the servers as non-overloaded transfer candidate servers. The OGM may calculate transfer candidate server scores for the non-overloaded transfer candidate servers using the user social graph data and the social activity pattern data. Also, the OGM may select one of the non-overloaded transfer candidate servers for migrating the user based on the transfer candidate server scores, and migrate data associated with the user to the selected non-overloaded transfer candidate server.09-01-2011

The user interface includes a plurality of regions, including a respective region at a respective hierarchy level. The respective region has two or more child regions at a hierarchy level below the respective hierarchy level. The method includes detecting a first contact at a location that corresponds to the respective region and that does not correspond to any of the two or more child regions. When the application is configured to process the first contact, not in conjunction with the respective region, but in conjunction with at least one child region of the two or more child regions, the method includes identifying a respective child region in accordance with positions of the child regions relative to the location, and processing the first contact in conjunction with the identified respective child region using the application.12-15-2011

20110261186Imaging and Archiving Method, System and Program - A system, method and program adapted for collecting images of job-site conditions, plans and specifications. Images are annotated with attributes that relate to the location, time and trades involved and other aspects of the images. Job site images are collected with a camera connected to a portable data collection device. The portable data collection device is programmed with image attributes for a particular project. Images are also annotated with attributes gathered by sensors, such as GPS position data and direction information. Images with attached attributes are uploaded to a database server and indexed into a relational database. Images can be flagged and determined to be images for review which triggers automatic notification to the involved parties and follow up to confirm resolution. Authorized participants can access images in near real time, to make funding, insurance and other judgments about the project. Images are archived for safekeeping and long-term storage.10-27-2011
