20110011771 | SULFOXIDATION CATALYSTS AND METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF USING SAME - Catalysts amenable to oxidizing sulfur compounds and systems and methods of using these catalysts to effect the removal of sulfur from crude oil and crude oil distillates are disclosed. The catalyst is disposed with a titanyl moiety which serves to selectively coordinate sulfur compounds and affect their oxidation. The titanyl may be bound within a polymer or on the surface of a polymer or on the surface or in the pores of an inorganic support. The resulting oxidized sulfur compounds are readily separated from the initial crude oil or crude oil distillate streams by traditional separation techniques arrayed as described in the systems and methods disclosed. | 01-20-2011 |

20150178628 | DETERMINING GENERAL CAUSATION - Examples of the disclosure are directed toward generating a causation score with respect to an agent and an outcome, and projecting a future causation score distribution. For example, a causation score may be determined with respect to a hypothesis that a given agent causes a given outcome, and the score may indicate the acceptance of that hypothesis in the scientific community, as described by scientific literature. A future causation score distribution, then, may indicate a probability distribution over possible future causation scores, thereby predicting the scientific acceptance of the hypothesis at some specific date in the future. A future causation score distribution can be projected by first generating one or more future publication datasets, and then determining causation scores for each of the one or more future publication datasets. | 06-25-2015 |

20120102051 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EMERGING LITIGATION RISK IDENTIFICATION - A computer-implemented method, by a computer having a computer processor, of identifying emerging risks of agents causing harms to a particular system comprises accessing, via a computer network, an electronic document database comprising document data; inputting a set of criteria, which includes a selected set of agents and a selected set of harms to a particular system, specified by a user; extracting a subset of the document data that satisfies the set of criteria; generating, with the processor, an array containing agent-harm coincidences from the extracted subset of the document data; assessing, with the processor, statistical significance of each agent-harm coincidence relative to other agent-harm coincidences; compiling, with the processor, risk data, based on the statistical significance, of agents of the selected set of agents causing harms of the selected set of harms to the particular system; and outputting the risk data. | 04-26-2012 |

20150305914 | MULTI-LAYER CAST SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A multi-layer cast for immobilizing a body member of a patient includes a hydrophobic sleeve having a shape configured to be applied over the body member and substantially conform to the shape of the body member, and a moldable layer configured to be positioned around said sleeve and hardened to conform to the shape of said body member adjacent said sleeve is presented. The hydrophobic sleeve includes fibers configured to wick moisture outward away from the body member, and the moldable layer includes a network of pores that extend through the moldable layer such that the pores are configured to contact the hydrophobic sleeve to promote flow of moisture from the hydrophobic sleeve outward through the moldable layer. An external removable wrap may also be detachably disposed around the moldable layer for additional support and moisture wicking. | 10-29-2015 |

20100264226 | PAYMENT CARD HAVING ACCEPTANCE ATTRIBUTES ON A SINGLE SIDE - A payment card has a generally planar body having a first side and a second side, and a plurality of acceptance attributes on the second side. The first side is formed without any acceptance attributes thereon. The first side may include artwork of an issuer of the payment card. The acceptance attributes may include, for example, a signature panel, a cardholder name, a card expiration date, at least one of a bar code and a magnetic stripe, and a card security code. A method of using such a card includes physically presenting the card to a merchant, and viewing, by the merchant, of at least needed ones of the acceptance attributes without the merchant being required to turn the card over. Another method of using such a card includes supplying (without necessarily physically presenting the card), from a card user to a merchant, acceptance attribute information of a payment card of the kind described, as well as viewing, by the card user, of the acceptance attribute information without the card user being required to turn the card over. | 10-21-2010 |

20140278834 | VOTING ON ACTIONS FOR AN EVENT - In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. A first computing system receives indications of multiple actions that a user of a second computing system specified as being candidates for performance during an event. The first computing system sends, for receipt by multiple computing devices, information that identifies the multiple actions, so as to cause the multiple computing devices to present the multiple actions. The first computing system receives, from each of at least a subset of the multiple computing devices, an indication of one of the multiple actions that a user of the respective computing device selected, from among the multiple actions, as being an action that the user of the respective computing device selects. The first computing system identifies a particular one of the multiple actions that received a greatest level of selections by the users. | 09-18-2014 |

20130080349 | MANAGEMENT AND NOTIFICATION OF OBJECT MODEL CHANGES - Techniques are disclosed for managing development of a model set comprised of one or more object models by a plurality of model developers. Each model developer may be considered an interested party. For example, when a model developer changes an area of the model, that person becomes the most interested party in other changes made to the same area. An automated mechanism is provided to track changes made to the model set and informs interested parties as changes are made or after changes are made to the model based on a weighting system. In one embodiment, the weighting system may be based on a distance from the changed portions and on the amount of time since a party last made a change to the same area. | 03-28-2013 |
