20110137630	METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY OF MILK PRODUCING ANIMALS - A method is disclosed for calculating a transition monitor value for one or more milk-producing animals so as to enable its use in evaluating and optimally managing the health and productivity (i.e., the transition performance) of those individual animals and of their herds. An expected milk production is calculated for a given time period of a current lactation based both on the individual's performance in her previous lactation and on her current state. Transition monitor values are calculated as the difference between actual and expected milk production values. The transition monitor values can then be used to evaluate and to optimize the health and productivity of both individuals and herds of individuals and to make comparisons of transition monitor programs both within and between herds.	06-09-2011

20110173550	DATA DRIVEN USER INTERFACE ANIMATION - A data driven method of animating a user interface includes managing a virtual variable with a cloud computing device. The method further includes, in response to receiving user input at the cloud computing device, using a physics engine of the cloud computing device to update a value of the virtual variable. The method further includes receiving UI data at the cloud computing device from one or more remote content providers, wherein the UI data defines one or more user interface objects and how the one or more user interface objects are to be displayed by the cloud computing device as a function of the virtual variable. The method further includes outputting display instructions for displaying the one or more user interface objects in accordance with the UI data and the value of the virtual variable as the value of the virtual variable is updated by the physics engine.	07-14-2011
