20110311489	OPTICALLY-BASED STIMULATION OF TARGET CELLS AND MODIFICATIONS THERETO - Stimulation of target cells using light, e.g., in vivo or in vitro, is implemented using a variety of methods and devices. One example involves a vector for delivering a light-activated molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence that codes for light-activated molecule. The light-activated molecule includes a modification to a location near the all-trans retinal Schiff base, e.g., to extends the duration time of the open state. Other aspects and embodiments are directed to systems, methods, kits, compositions of matter and molecules for ion channels or pumps or for controlling currents in a cell (e.g., in in vivo and in vitro environments).	12-22-2011

20080244445	METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING BURSTING-MESSAGES - A method for generating Bursting-messages on the window of a user's Web-terminal while browsing a Web-site. Indication related to the connection of the user to the Web-site is provided. Data that is required for generating a Burst-message on the Web-terminal is sent to the Web-terminal of the identified user and a Burst-message is generated on the Web-terminal using the data. Interaction means are provided to the user in the Burst-message, for the interaction of the user with the Burst-message and/or with the Web-site. The Burst-message may be generated by dynamically writing an HTML layer and/or JavaScript and/or VBScript.	10-02-2008
