| 20100017298 | ADVERTISING INVENTORY ALLOCATION - A simultaneous ascending price auction (“SAA”) can be used to allocate advertising inventory to bidders. The advertising inventory can be, for example, radio or television advertisement spots (“spots”). The bidders can be advertisers that can provide advertisements for presentation in the spots. Two or more contiguous spots can define an advertising block. Spots or advertising blocks can be allocated to advertisers by the SM mechanism based on bid criteria. The SAA can perform simultaneous advertisement scheduling and pricing. The auction allocation can be optimized to facilitate efficient allocation of advertisements to spots or blocks. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100198655 | ADVERTISING TRIGGERS BASED ON INTERNET TRENDS - Among other things, a computer-implemented method for presenting an ad. The method includes receiving from an advertiser a predetermined level of online interest in a specified topic. The method further includes determining whether a current level of online interest meets or exceeds the predetermined level, and selectively presenting the ad based on the determination. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20090081675 | METHODS, COMPOUNDS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETECTING A MICROORGANISM IN A SAMPLE - Methods to identify a set of probe polynucleotides suitable for detecting a set of targets and in particular methods for identification of primers suitable for detection of target microorganisms related polynucleotides, set of polynucleotides and compositions, and related methods and systems for detection and/or identification of microorganisms in a sample. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20110124514 | Protein Signature Evaluation Platform - A set of known protein sequences associated with an organism is identified, wherein each known protein sequence comprises a plurality of ordered residues. A set of scores associated with a set of residues of the plurality of ordered residues is identified, wherein each score indicates a frequency of a residue in sequence context. A set of unique sub-sequences of the set of known protein sequences is identified. A plurality of protein signature residues is determined based on the set of scores associated with the set of residues and the set of unique sub-sequences. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110125411 | Uniquemer Algorithm for Identification of Conserved and Unique Subsequences - A first protein sequence associated with the organism is identified, wherein the first protein sequence comprises a plurality of ordered residues. A plurality of sub-sequences is generated based on the first protein sequence, wherein each sub-sequence comprises a plurality of contiguous residues and a starting residue number of each sub-sequence differs from a starting residue number of another sub-sequence by one position in the first protein sequence. A first unique sub-sequence comprising a first set of contiguous residues based on the plurality of sub-sequences is identified, wherein the first unique sub-sequence is specific to the organism and is identified based on a dataset of protein sequences and stored. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110152109 | BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE TARGET CLASSIFICATION, DETECTION AND SELECTION METHODS, AND RELATED ARRAYS AND OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES - Biological sample target classification, detection and selection methods are described, together with related arrays and oligonucleotide probes. | 06-23-2011 |
