20120034267INACTIVATED VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS VACCINES, METHODS OF PRODUCTION, AND USES THEREOF - The invention provides an inactivated varicella zoster virus (VZV), and compositions and vaccines comprising said inactivated VZV, wherein the infectivity of the VZV is undetectable and wherein the inactivated VZV induces an immune response against VZV when administered to a patient. In embodiments of the compositions described herein, the VZV is inactivated with gamma radiation. The invention also provides a method of preparing an inactivated VZV vaccine, the method comprising gamma irradiating a sample comprising a VZV using from about 5 kGy to about 50 kGy of gamma radiation. Also provided by the invention herein is a method of treatment of or immunization against HZ or other disease associated with the reactivation of VZV, the method comprising administering to a subject a vaccine or pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an inactivated VZV and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the VZV is inactivated by gamma irradiation.02-09-2012

20090007010HOSTED DATA VISUALIZATION SERVICE - A hosted data visualization data processing system can be provided. The system can include a host computing platform configured for communicative coupling to remote clients over a computer communications network. In this regard, each of the remote clients can include a data set. The system further can include a data visualization processor in the host computing platform and a hosted data visualization service coupled to the data visualization processor. The service can include program code enabled to receive a data subset from a requesting one of the remote clients based upon a corresponding data set stored in the requesting one of the remote clients, to generate a data visualization for the data subset and to transmit the generated data visualization over the computer communications network to the requesting one of the remote clients for rendering in the requesting one of the remote clients.01-01-2009
20090055756DOUBLY LINKED VISUAL DISCUSSIONS FOR DATA VISUALIZATION - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to data visualization and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for doubly linked visual discussions for data visualization. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for doubly-linked data visualization can be provided. The method can include rendering a data visualization in a data visualization service user interface, identifying comments corresponding to the rendered data visualization, concurrently displaying the identified comments in the user interface, selecting a comment in the user interface, and replacing the rendered data visualization in the user interface with a different data visualization corresponding to the selected comment.02-26-2009
20090240676Computer Method and Apparatus for Using Social Information to Guide Display of Search Results and Other Information - A computer implemented method and system presents search result or other data generated in response to a request by a user. The search results are formed of one or more items. The invention system corresponds each item to a respective person. A screen view is generated showing a hierarchy of people including the people corresponding to the items of the search results. Indicated in the screen view is the extent of connectedness between the user and the people corresponding to the items of the search results. The invention system displays indications of the items of the search results in the screen view in a manner illustrating the items in context of the shown hierarchy. This enables a user to (i) easily and readily assign respective confidence levels to items of the search results, and to (ii) determine relationships among people without explicitly requesting the information from others.09-24-2009
20100169794COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF VISUALIZATION DASHBOARDS - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for the collaborative development of a visualization dashboard. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for collaboratively developing a visualization dashboard can be provided. The method can include identifying an extended Wiki directive within a Wiki artifact for a visualization dashboard. The method further can include retrieving data referenced by the extended Wiki directive and one or more visual display elements referenced by the extended Wiki directive to visualize portions of the retrieved data. The method yet further can include mapping the visual display elements referenced by the extended Wiki directive to components requisite to programmatically rendering the visual display elements in the visualization dashboard. The method even yet further can include arranging the components in the visualization dashboard and linking the components to the retrieved data. Finally, the method can include displaying the visualization dashboard.07-01-2010

20090150226METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MARKET RESEARCH DATA MINING - Purchases made by customers of a supplier of interest from other suppliers are estimated based upon panelist data regarding purchases made by panelists from the supplier of interest and from the other suppliers, and based upon customer data regarding purchases made by the customers from the supplier of interest. The panelists are a subset of the customers. A linear relationship between the purchases made by the panelists from the supplier of interest and the purchases made by the panelists from the other suppliers is determined. Based upon the customer data and the linear relationship, the purchases made by the customers from the other suppliers are estimated.06-11-2009
20100063869METHODS AND APPARATUS TO CREATE MODELING GROUPS FOR USE IN TRADE PROMOTION RESPONSE MODELS - Methods and apparatus to create modeling groups for use in trade promotion response models are disclosed. An example computer implemented method to generate a modeling group for use in a trade promotion response model includes generating products groups, each of which includes one or more product codes corresponding to substantially similar products; generating advertisement identifiers, each of which corresponds to an advertisement and one or more product codes associated with one or more products in the advertisement; selecting a first product group from the product groups; selecting one of the advertisement identifiers corresponding to one or more product codes that are also in the first product group; and generating a modeling group for a trade promotion response model by grouping together ones of the product groups that include the product codes corresponding to the selected one of the advertisement identifiers.03-11-2010

20100299278Methods for controlling shipment of a temperature controlled material using a spill proof shipping container - A shipping container is used with methods for controlling shipment of a temperature controlled material so that once a customer order is initiated with a customer origin point and a customer destination the shipping container with a phase change material maintaining a sample chamber within the shipping container within a desired temperature range is shipped to the customer origin point where a temperature controlled material is loaded into the sample chamber and then the shipping container is shipped to the customer destination and then returned to a repurposing site and periodic location of the shipping container is tracked by use of a wireless location sensor associated with the shipping container during its shipment. The health of the shipping container, as well as the temperature of its sample chamber, can also be monitored, tracked, recorded and retrieved either during shipment or at the conclusion of a shipping cycle.11-25-2010

20110224947SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING, INFERRING STATE OF HEALTH, AND OPTIMIZING EFFICIENCY OF REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS - Systems and method for operating and monitoring refrigerators are described. Temperature cycles within the compartment are characterized using statistical, frequency and pattern analysis techniques to derive a steady-state characteristic of temperature within the compartment. A thermal sensor inside the conditioned area is monitored and temperature data sets can be analyzed to determine performance in comparison to a baseline, and energy consumption. Analysis of continuous temperature readings taken from individual or groups of freezers identifies patterns of variations in temperature cycles from which feedback on efficiency can be inferred. Electrical load can be determined by measuring or estimating current usage and identifying periods of time when compressors are active in the refrigerator.09-15-2011
