| 20080270449 | Program Guide User Interface - A computer-implemented method includes receiving a search request related to media programming and generating a search. The result has a list of one or more collections of episodes responsive to the search request, and a schedule grid displaying a plurality of episodes on a plurality of different channels for a time period, including at least one program responsive to the search request. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080270886 | Hiding Portions of Display Content - A computer-implemented method includes generating code for displaying a two-dimensional media programming schedule grid, receiving a command to compress the grid at a first location along a first dimension, and generating code for displaying the grid with visible graphical fold marks defining a fold area near the first location along the first dimension. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080271078 | Momentary Electronic Program Guide - A computer-implemented method includes determining a time relative to a playing media program to insert a user notification, automatically generating a suggestion regarding a media program other than the playing media program to be presented to an audience member of the playing media program, providing, in a format for presentation on a user-related media player, the generated suggestion at the location in the playing media program, and causing the generation of a control that, when selected, performs an action related to the non-playing media program. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080271080 | Customizable Media Channels - A computer-implemented method includes receiving an identification of a media program from a broadcast channel on an electronic program guide for inclusion in a personalized channel, adding the identified program to a personalized channel at a first time, and adding one or more additional programs to the personalized channel at times other than the first time. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090055385 | Media-Based Recommendations - A computer-implemented method includes receiving information expressing a user's interest in one or more media programs, obtaining information indicative of popularity for a plurality of media programs responsive to the received information by individuals other than the user, and transmitting one or more recommendations of media programs for display to the user, from the plurality of media programs that relate to the received information. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20100121704 | Activating Content Distribution - A computer-implemented method for advertisement distribution includes receiving, in a computer system, an input from an advertiser that has previously registered an advertisement for on-demand activation. The input is generated based on the advertiser having an immediate availability and directs the computer system to initiate the on-demand activation substantially in real time with receiving the input. The method includes determining, using the computer system, a geographic location of the advertiser that corresponds to the immediate availability. The method includes defining, using the computer system, a target group to which the advertisement is to be presented, the target group identified based on at least the geographic location and the immediate availability. The method includes initiating the on-demand activation using the computer system, for receipt of the advertisement by at least part of the target group, the on-demand activation initiated substantially in real time with receiving the input. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20080221551 | ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods for the clinical treatment of individuals susceptible to or suffering from acute kidney injury are provided. Drugs, biologics, or other therapies or treatments are administered by fluid agent delivery directly to the kidneys via their arterial blood supply. Bifurcated renal artery infusion catheter devices and methods can treat kidney injury in patients with locally-delivered drugs, biologics, and other agents, so as to increase the ability of the kidneys to excrete nitrogenous waste products from the blood, and prevent or ameliorate azotemia. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090305990 | BI-LATERAL LOCAL RENAL DELIVERY FOR TREATING CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE AND FOR BNP THERAPY - The invention relates to systems and methods for local renal delivery of agents to subjects that are at risk for congestive heart failure and other conditions. The invention encompasses devices for renal drug delivery and method of use. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090306625 | TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RENAL-RELATED DISEASES - Systems and methods are provided for locally delivering specific prophylactic, regenerative, or therapeutic agents within the body of a patient. Systems and methods can involve direct delivery of prophylactic, regenerative, or therapeutic agents into branch blood vessels or body lumens from a main vessel or lumen, respectively, and in particular into renal arteries extending from an aorta in a patient. Drug infusion techniques encompass specific treatment and prevention regimes for renal diseases including, but not limited to, Acute Kidney Injury, Renal Cell Carcinoma, Polycystic Kidney Disease, and Chronic Kidney Disease. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20090253428 | Communications Systems And Methods For Exchanging Messages Between Users - A communications system exchanges messages between users. A messaging store stores the messages. A messaging server accesses and manages messages of the message store. A plurality of servers interface between the messaging server and different networks of the users. Processes employing dynamic mailboxes and for selectively retrieving messages are also provided. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20110280161 | Communications Systems And Methods For Exchanging Messages Between Users - A communications system exchanges messages between users. A messaging store stores the messages. A messaging server accesses and manages messages of the message store. A plurality of servers interface between the messaging server and different networks of the users. Processes employing dynamic mailboxes and for selectively retrieving messages are also provided. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20120102073 | CONTEXTUAL PRESENCE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Systems and methods dynamically form a context group that has a plurality of members and propagate payload data between the members. A database associates a context identifier (ID) of the context group with a user ID of each member. A context manager, communicatively coupled with the database, receives a join context request containing the context ID and a user ID from each said member, creates the context group, if not existing, within the database in response to the join request, and adds the user ID, if not existing, of each said member to the database in association with the context ID. A payload handler receives payload data from one of said members and propagates the payload data to other said members of the context group. | 04-26-2012 |
