| 20090063266 | PERFORMING OF MARKETING ACTIONS WHILE PRESERVING CONFIDENTIALITY - A system provides targeted advertising to customers of an application while preserving the confidentiality of the customers' application information. A marketing system provides a marketing engine that executes on a computer system of the customer of an application and provides targeted marketing to that customer. Since the marketing engine executes on the customer's own computer system, it may have access to the customer's application information. The marketing engine can analyze the application information and provide marketing information that is targeted to the customer without compromising the confidentiality of the customer's application information. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20100131487 | HTTP CACHE WITH URL REWRITING - URL rewriting is a common technique for allowing users to interact with internet resources using easy to remember and search engine friendly URLs. When URL rewriting involves conditions derived for sources other than the URL, inconsistencies in HTTP kernel cache and HTTP user output cache may arise. Methods and a system for rewriting a URL while preserving cache integrity are disclosed herein. Conditions used by a rule set to rewrite a URL may be determined as cache friendly conditions or cache unfriendly conditions. If cache unfriendly conditions exist, the HTTP kernel cache is disabled and the HTTP user output cache is varied based upon a key. If no cache unfriendly conditions exist, then the HTTP kernel cache is not disabled and the HTTP user output cache is not varied. A rule set is applied to the URL and a URL rewrite is performed to create a rewritten URL. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20090327466 | INTERNAL UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATOR FORMULATION AND TESTING - A mechanism for computer-assisted generation of matching rules for a proposed internal Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to a corresponding possible public URL. After accessing the proposed internal URL from the user, one or more options for a public URL corresponding to the internal URL are generated. Also, a mechanism for testing whether a candidate public Uniform Resource Locator (URL) has a corresponding match to an internal URL. Upon accessing a candidate public URL, matching rules are used to determine whether or not the candidate public URL matches a valid internal URL using any of the matching rules. If it is determined that there is not a match, matching rules that may be used to more closely match the candidate public URL to the valid internal URL are then displayed. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090216328 | SPINAL FIXATION ELEMENT AND METHODS - A spinal fixation element is provided having a feature formed thereon that facilitates placement of the spinal fixation element through an access device, thus allowing the spinal fixation element to be positioned in relation to a spinal anchor that is coupled to the access device and that is implanted in a vertebra in a patient's spine. The feature also optionally facilitates placement of the spinal fixation element in relation to spinal anchors implanted in adjacent vertebrae. In particular, the spinal fixation element is adapted for use with an access device that has at least one slot or opening formed therein and having a width that is less than a width of the feature, thus preventing the feature from passing therethrough. The spinal fixation element can therefore be inserted through the access device, and a portion of the fixation element can be passed through the slot or opening in the access device while the feature is retained in the access device. As a result, the feature is seated within a spinal anchor that is coupled to the access device, and the remaining portion of the spinal fixation element can extend through the slot, preferably to be positioned within a spinal anchor disposed within an adjacent vertebra. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20110046678 | Facet Joint Prosthesis - Various methods and devices are provided for a facet replacement device. In one embodiment of the invention, a facet replacement device is provided and includes an elongate member matable to a first vertebra and a housing. The housing can have a connector formed thereon and matable to an adjacent second vertebra and an inner lumen formed therein. The housing can also include a deformable member disposed within the inner lumen and having an opening formed therein for slidably receiving at least a portion of the elongate member such that the elongate member can be angularly oriented relative to a longitudinal axis of the lumen. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110060344 | Percutaneous Access Devices And Bone Anchor Assemblies - A percutaneous access device includes an inner tube and an outer tube disposed about at least a portion of the inner tube. The outer tube may be sized to span from a skin incision in a patient to a site proximate the spine of the patient. The distal end of the outer tube may be adapted to releasably engage a bone anchor. The inner tube may be adjustable relative to the outer tube between a first position and a second position in which the distal end of the inner tube contacts the bone anchor. A bone anchor assembly includes a bone anchor having a distal bone engaging portion and a receiving member having a recess for receiving a spinal fixation element. The proximal end of the receiving member may have an arcuate groove formed on an exterior surface thereof to facilitate connection of an instrument to the receiving member. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20100312664 | USER AUTHENTICATION IN AN AUCTION SYSTEM - A method and system for authenticating users while conducting an auction via a computer system. The system can automatically authenticate users who have previously registered with the auction system and who have enabled automatic authentication. When a user is registered, the system may store authentication information in a cookie on the user's computer. When the user decides to perform a transaction (e.g., list item auction or place a bid for an item) that requires authentication, the system retrieves the stored authentication information. If automatic authentication is enabled, then the system allows the transaction to proceed without manual authentication. If, however, automatic authentication is not enabled or the system does not recognize the stored authentication information, then the system requests manual authentication. The use of automatic authentication allows a user to enter information relating to a transaction without manually entering any identification information. | 12-09-2010 |
