20090112785 | SMART BUTTON - The present invention provides for systems and methods that facilitate conveying user information between and among users effectively to thereby create a collaborative filtering environment with maintained user privacy. More specifically, the present invention allows user-profile building to occur coincident with user-browsing, for example. This can be accomplished in part by incorporating an input component on the user interface used for browsing and/or searching. A user who has opted-in to construct a personal profile makes declarations regarding his relationship with at least a portion of the information being currently viewed. The declarations are annotated to the user's profile. At the user's discretion, the user's profile can be disseminated to others in whole or in part such that other people can make use of the user's expertise, experience or opinions. In addition, the user profiles can be machine-readable and searchable. | 04-30-2009 |
20090112827 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EMPLOYING SOCIAL NETWORKS FOR INFORMATION DISCOVERY - Systems and methods are provided that enable searches of social networks by acting as a “compass” that assists users in navigating the social network.

The systems and methods offer navigational assistance or information as opposed to a traditional search which returns requested information, thus currently acceptable social mechanisms for arbitrating trust can be exploited. As a result, users do not make their personal information publicly searchable, while at the same time, they are protected from potential misrepresentations of facts. | 04-30-2009 |
20100149966 | STATELESS, AFFINITY-PRESERVING LOAD BALANCING - The invention relates to an architecture that facilitates load balancing among a plurality of hosts and preserve session affinity to a given host. An incoming stream of data packets that include packet sessions is input to one or more forwarding mechanisms for forwarding to one or more hosts. The forwarders generate a routing function that takes into consideration host availability, and distributes session packets according to the routing function. A session is distributed to the same host to preserve session affinity. When host availability changes, a new routing function is generated, such that any new session is routed according to the new routing function and existing sessions are routed according to the old routing function. When the old routing function becomes irrelevant, it is phased out. An optimization utilizes a maximally backward compatible hash function to minimize the differences between the old and new routing functions. | 06-17-2010 |

20130040852 | BIOMARKERS BASED ON A MULTI-CANCER INVASION-ASSOCIATED MECHANISM - The present invention relates to biomarkers which constitute a metastasis associated fibroblast (“MAF”) signature and their use in diagnosing and staging a variety of cancers. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that identifying the differential expression of certain genes indicates a diagnosis and/or stage of a variety of cancers with a high degree of specificity. In particular, the presence of the signature implies that the cancer has already become invasive. Accordingly, in various embodiments, the present invention provides for methods of diagnosis, diagnostic kits, as well as methods of treatment that include an assessment of biomarker status in a subject. Further, because the differential expression of certain genes can function as marker for the acquisition of metastatic potential, such expression profiles can be used to predict the appropriateness of certain therapeutic interventions, such as the appropriateness of neoadjuvant therapies. Such profiles can also be used to screen for therapeutics capable of inhibiting acquisition of metastatic potential. Accordingly, in various embodiments, the present invention provides for methods of screening therapeutics for their anti-metastatic properties as well as screening kits. | 02-14-2013 |

Accordingly, the identification inhibitors of this mechanism, such as inhibitors of certain microRNAs, disclosed herein, can be used for inhibiting the mesenchymal transition to reduce the invasive nature of certain cells of primary cancerous tumors and, in certain instances, to prevent the recurrence of cancer by inhibiting the induction of stem cell-like features in certain cancer cells. | 08-06-2015 |
