20140379497 | MIRRORING A STOREFRONT TO A SOCIAL MEDIA SITE - Method, systems, and apparatus for mirroring a storefront to a social media site. A social media interface system mirrors an online or offline storefront of a merchant to an account of the merchant on a social media site. The system receives a copy of an electronic message from a user device of the merchant. The system parses the copy of the message and determines that the message is related to the item and related to an online store or physical store of the merchant. The system then inserts a tag into the copy of the message, the tag linking the message to an online storefront of the online store or an offline storefront of the physical store. The system posts the copy of the message, including the tag, in the account of the merchant on a social media site. | 12-25-2014 |
20140379536 | INTEGRATED ONLINE AND OFFLINE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT - Method, systems, and apparatus for integrated online and offline sales management. A system manages both offline and online transactions and inventory in an integrated environment. An offline transaction is a sale at a point of sale (POS) system, e.g., at a typical “brick and mortar shop” physical store. An online transaction is a sale using an online store, e.g., an online shopping cart and checkout system accessed by a web browser or other application. An online store can be converted to offline store, and vice versa. An inventory management system can receive an input from a merchant device of merchant designating an item carried by the merchant as an item to be sold at the physical store, at the online store, or both. The inventory management system can modify a record of the item to respond to the input. | 12-25-2014 |
20140379580 | INTEGRATED ONLINE AND OFFLINE PURCHASE AUTHORIZATION - Method, systems, and apparatus for integrated online and offline purchase authorization. A card risk management system uses data of past transactions to expedite subsequent transactions. The data of past transactions can include records of past authorization, at a physical store, a purchase transaction by a buyer using a purchase card. The system records information on the purchase card and a user name, as provided by the user at the physical store, for authorizing the purchase transaction. A subsequent transaction can be an online transaction, by an online user having an online user account. The system can match the user name and the online user account in a unified authorization data store. If the match is successful, and upon determining that a purchase card used in the online transaction is the same as used in the physical store, the card risk management system can expedite authorization of the online purchase. | 12-25-2014 |

20130132294 | System and Method for Engaging a Social Network - A method of engaging a consumer's social network includes promoting a potential gift to members of the consumer's social network, soliciting and receiving contributions to the gift from members of the consumer's social network, and determining whether a trigger condition has been met. The method then provides a gift to the consumer, and the gift may include one or more conditional contributions from the vendor of the gift item, depending on the whether the trigger condition has been met. | 05-23-2013 |
20140068212 | DEVICE BACKUPS AND UPDATES IN VIEW OF DATA USAGE STATISTICS - Embodiments manage data transfer requests representing backup operations and update operations from a computing device using a centralized data transfer service. The data transfer service selects the data transfer requests for performance based at least on data usage statistics associated with a data usage plan and available network connections on the computing device. For the backup operations, the data transfer requests are also selected based on priority information associated with each of the backup operations. In some embodiments, the data transfer service selects and initiates the data transfer requests without incurring excess data transfer costs for the user. | 03-06-2014 |

20150104440 | MiRNA-31 AS A DIAGNOSTIC, PROGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC AGENT IN CANCER - The current disclosure reveals a complex regulatory pattern between miR-31 and AR, indicating that miR-31 plays a key role in prostate cancer development and progression. Another aspect of the current disclosure shows that miR-31 directly targets and destabilizes AR mRNA through interaction with the AR mRNA coding sequence showing that miR-31, or a fragment thereof has the ability to act as a novel therapeutic agent in treating cancer. The current disclosure also shows that AR indirectly represses miR-31 expression by binding to the miR-31 promoter region and modulating methyltransferase activity. Another aspect of the current disclosure shows that miR-31 indirectly modulates AR activity by modulating regulators of cell cycle progression. The disclosure further provides an isolated nucleic acid that modulates the activity of the androgen receptor in a cell. The disclosure further provides a method of treating a prostate cancer in a subject, by administering to the subject an effective amount of an agent that modulates the activity or levels of miR-31. | 04-16-2015 |
