| 20090174654 | COMPUTERIZED INTERACTOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING SAME - A computerized interactor system uses physical, three-dimensional objects as metaphors for input of user intent to a computer system. When one or more interactors are engaged with a detection field, the detection field reads an identifier associated with the object and communicates the identifier to a computer system. The computer system determines the meaning of the interactor based upon its identifier and upon a semantic context in which the computer system is operating. The interactors can be used to control other systems, such as audio systems, or it can be used as intuitive inputs into a computer system for such purposes as marking events in a temporal flow. The interactors, as a minimum, communicate their identity, but may also be more sophisticated in that they can communicate additional processed or unprocessed data, i.e. they can include their own data processors. The detection field can be one-dimensional or multi-dimensional, and typically has different semantic meanings associated with different parts of the detection field. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090210902 | TARGETED TELEVISION CONTENT DISPLAY - The invention enables and/or facilitates the display of personalized content to content observers by content providers (e.g., advertisers) who disseminate content over a network. In particular, the invention can be used to enable the display of targeted content to television viewers and/or targeted product placements within a television program. The invention can advantageously enable identification of the content observer(s) observing a content display device at a particular time and/or identification of the content display site, and selection of targeted content for display based on a determination of content appropriate for display to those content observer(s) in accordance with a criterion based on the identity and/or a characteristic of the content observer(s) and/or the content display site. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20100146346 | DIAGNOSTIC AND MANAGING DISTRIBUTED PROCESSOR SYSTEM - A network of microcontrollers for monitoring and diagnosing the environmental conditions of a computer is disclosed. The network of microcontrollers provides a management system by which computer users can accurately gauge the health of their computer. The network of microcontrollers provides users the ability to detect system fan speeds, internal temperatures and voltage levels. The invention is designed to not only be resilient to faults, but also allows for the system maintenance, modification, and growth—without downtime. Additionally, the present invention allows users to replace failed components, and add new functionality, such as new network interfaces, disk interface cards and storage, without impacting existing users. One of the primary roles of the present invention is to manage the environment without outside involvement. This self-management allows the system to continue to operate even though components have failed. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20100087401 | FORMULATIONS AND USES OF 2-HYDROXY-5-PHENYLAZOBENZOIC ACID DERIVATIVES - A method of increasing the bioavailability of balsalazide by administration of an oral dosage form with food is provided, as well as an article of manufacture comprising an oral dosage form of balsalazide in a suitable container and associated with printed labeling which describes the increased bioavailability of the medication in the container when taken with food. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20110055943 | NOVEL THERAPEUTIC TARGETS IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE - The present invention relates to novel sequences for use in detection, diagnosis and treatment of bowl disease (BD). The invention provides BD-associated polynucleotide sequences whose expression is associated with BD. Provided herein are diagnostic compositions and methods for the detection of BD. The present invention provides monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies specific for the BD polypeptides. The present invention also provides diagnostic tools and therapeutic compositions and methods for screening, prevention and treatment of BD. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110118295 | METHODS FOR TREATING BOWEL DISEASES - The present invention provides new methods of treating bowel disease (BD) by increasing a durability of response; treating BD in males; treating BD in adolescent subjects; treating bloating due to BD in males; and methods of maintaining remission of BD. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20110060832 | Fast Determination of Compatibility of Virtual Machines and Hosts - A method of determining compatibility of a virtual machine or virtual machine disk file with a host, including a storage host, is disclosed. A lookup matrix is created to provide a fast compatibility lookup for a group of computing objects and a group of hosts. To create the lookup matrix, computing object properties are retrieved from each of the plurality of computing objects. The computing object properties include resource requirements of each of the plurality of computing objects. Further, host properties are retrieved from each of the plurality of hosts. The method further includes creating a plurality of host logical groups of a subset of the plurality of hosts having substantially same host properties and creating a plurality of computing object logical groups of a subject of the plurality of computing objects having substantially same computing object properties. The lookup matrix provides answers whether each member of a selected computing object logical group can be transferred to each member of a selected host logical group. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20120007734 | Communication System with Remote Activation - The system of the present invention includes a conductive element, an electronic component, and a partial power source in the form of dissimilar materials. Upon contact with a conducting fluid, a voltage potential is created and the power source is completed, which activates the system. The electronic component controls the conductance between the dissimilar materials to produce a unique current signature. The system can also measure the conditions of the environment surrounding the system. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20080283730 | CMOS IMAGE SENSOR USING GRADIENT INDEX CHIP SCALE LENSES - A camera module includes a gradient index lens on a spacer plate attached over an array of pixel sensors and associated micro lenses. The spacer plate and gradient index lens can be formed at the wafer level during the manufacture of multiple camera modules. A process for manufacturing the camera modules thus provides tolerances and yields provided by wafer processing techniques rather than mechanical assembly. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20100002126 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FOCUSING A DIGITAL CAMERA - A method of focusing a digital camera module with an image sensor including capturing an image of a test target with the digital camera module, determining a focus quality of the image with the image sensor, outputting a signal related to the focus quality of the image from the digital camera module to a focusing station external to the digital camera module, and determining whether a position of a lens from the image sensor within the digital camera module should be altered to improve a focus quality of subsequently captured images. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20100279418 | GLUCOSE METER ADAPTABLE FOR USE WITH HANDHELD DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Module adaptable to communicate with a suitable handheld devices or PDAs. Suitable devices include, but are not limited to, the Apple iPhone® or iPod®, Research in Motion Blackberry® smart phones, Motorola Droid smart phones, and Palm Pre smart phones. The module can be used without adding to the cost of the handheld device. This allows direct reimbursement for the replaceable meter module portion if payers choose to limit coverage for the full system, as well as the possibility of reimbursement for the entire system including the handheld device. Other solutions build the cost into the phone, which must be replaced to upgrade or replace the glucose function. Moreover, information from the glucose meter reading can be communicated from the PDA to a remote station for reporting the results. With an iPod-like approach, this could be accomplished without the need for a cellular signal or carrier, as long as a WiFi internet connection is available anywhere in the world. | 11-04-2010 |
