20080262913OPTIMIZING ELECTRONIC DISPLAY OF ADVERTISING CONTENT - In one embodiment, a selection process executing in an optimizing engine is invoked as users are presented with web pages that include ad content. The selection process provides an initial population of sets of characteristics that specify an initial generation of layouts of ads for the pages. The characteristics can include anything that affects an ads appearance on the display. For example, ad type, position within a web page, color, size, text font, animation, etc. can be specified. Statistics are obtained as to each ad or page layout's performance or impact on the user, such as revenue obtained from ads in the layout, how many user's click an ad, how long users view an ad, etc. Once a large enough sample of user impacts is obtained a second population of sets of characteristics is created to improve the overall performance of the initial population. In a preferred embodiment, genetic computational procedures are used to create each population and to create new characteristic sets and remove underperforming sets.10-23-2008

20120116322METHOD TO FABRICATE A NEEDLE HAVING A TAPERED PORTION BETWEEN A DISTAL TIP AND A LONGITUDINAL CHANNEL - A novel method to fabricate a needle includes stamping an elongated shape in a flat metal sheet. The elongated shape defines a longitudinal axis and two edges that are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. Each of the two edges includes an inward curve with relative alignment to create a relatively narrow neck. A longitudinal channel is formed to give the elongated shape a U-shaped cross-section in a plane normal to the longitudinal axis. The method includes punching through the neck with a punch that slides along a punching axis that intersects the longitudinal axis with an angle in the range 15° to 50°. Alternatively the method includes coining a thinned region that spans the neck and may define a V-shape in a major plane of the flat metal sheet, and separating the elongated shape along the thinned region after coining.05-10-2012

20110072343OPTIMIZING ONLINE ADVERTISING LINK AND TEXT CHARACTERISTICS - In one embodiment, a method for displaying advertising content on a display device includes determining at least one color characteristic of the advertising content and the main content in a web page. The method also includes changing a first level of the at least one color characteristic for at least one portion of the advertising content in a first direction, and changing a second level of the at least one color characteristic for at least one portion of the main content in a second direction.03-24-2011

20090142277TREATMENT OF ACTIVE INFECTIONS AND RELATED COMPOSITIONS - The present invention is directed to the treatment of infections and the associated symptoms of sinusitis, rhinitis and related neurological disorders of the cranial cavity and facial tissue. More specifically, the present invention is directed to aerosols that are used to treat infections and the associated symptoms of sinusitis, rhinitis and related neurological disorders of the cranial cavity and facial tissue, compositions from which the aerosols are generated and methods of generating the aerosols. In an aerosol aspect of the present invention, an aerosol for delivery to the sinus cavity of a patient is provided. The aerosol includes at least: a) one or more compounds selected from antibiotics, antifungals, leukotriene antagonists, anti-TNF compounds, antihistamines, steroidal antiinflammatories, mucolytics, estrogen, progesterone and related hormones; and, b) water The compounds are present in the water at a concentration ranging from 0.01 mg/kg to 1000 mg/kg, and the aerosol does not contain a surfactant.06-04-2009
20110275587TOPICAL DELIVERY OF VISCOUS MEDICATIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC SINUSITIS - A medication or combination of medications for the treatment of a disease involving the sinuses is incorporated into a sterile medical gel. The viscosity of the gel or the adhesion of the gel to the patient's sinus cavity allows the gel to be maintained in the cavity for a sufficient length of time for treatment of the affected area. This reduces the amount of wasted medication that would otherwise result from other topical methods.11-10-2011
