20110282943SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING VALUE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES - Systems and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of social media pages. Users of social media systems review and publish various kinds of content on social media pages, including various messages, audio clips, video clips, polls, web links, etc. A social media page evaluation system hosted on a physical server or a cloud receives a social media page that is to be evaluated, and provides results of an evaluation process. The evaluation process involves processing of various criteria and parameters that characterize engagements and interactions between users of social media pages. Results of an evaluation process include qualitative and quantitative attributes in connection with evaluating the effectiveness of published content on social media pages. Such results are useful for purposes of enriching content in social media pages, resulting in greater network traffic due to increased engagements and interaction among users of social media pages.11-17-2011

20090276304Apparatus and Menthod for Incentive Marketing - An incentive marketing apparatus and method provides a purchaser of an item at a store or other retail location a chance to win an award. A unique identifier is assigned to the purchase. The purchaser provides the unique identifier to a kiosk or other customer interface device. The kiosk checks the unique identifier and provides the purchaser an opportunity to win an award based on chance if the unique identifier is validated. In one embodiment, the purchaser wins an award if a randomly generated number matches a portion (such as the cents portion) of the purchase amount. The kiosk may also be configured to dispense a short duration coupon to the purchaser that is redeemable within a predetermined period of time.11-05-2009

20110093083DISTAL FEMORAL KNEE PROSTHESES - A set of distal femoral knee prostheses which are designed to be more narrow in medial/lateral dimensions with increasing anterior/posterior size than existing prostheses to more closely correspond to the physical anatomy of female patients. The prostheses are designed to have a substantially trapezoidal shape or profile when viewed distally which features a more pronounced narrowing of the medial/lateral dimensions beginning at the posterior end of the prostheses and progressing anteriorly to the anterior end of the prostheses. Additionally, the prostheses each include a reduced profile patellar sulcus and reduced profile anterior condyles to more closely conform to the anatomy of a resected femur, and also include sulcus tracking optimized to conform to female anatomy.04-21-2011

20100222893PROSTHETIC HIP IMPLANTS - Prosthetic hip stems and acetabular cups for use in prosthetic hip joints. The hip stem may include a core having a stem portion and a neck portion, a polymer matrix layer substantially covering the stem portion of the core, and a porous metal layer substantially covering the polymer matrix layer. The polymer matrix layer connects the core and the porous metal layer and provides a stiffness for the hip stem which more closely mimics the stiffness of bone than do known hip stems. The hip stems and acetabular cups additionally include a number of improvements adapted for more optimized results with certain types of patient anatomy, such as the anatomy of female patients, for example.09-02-2010
