20140258143 | COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR SCORING PATENTS - The invention discloses a system to score assets such as patents based on an event on which information is publicly available and is correlated to a number of intrinsic and extrinsic variables which characterize the assets. More specifically, the invention improves over the prior art by taking due account of yearly life expectancy statistics of patents of the same family in multiple jurisdictions where related patents owned by the same assignee have been filed. For doing so, the system of the invention provides a method to use statistical models of the semi-parametric type such as Cox proportional hazard models or the parametric type, such as Weibull accelerated failure models. These models yield a much improved precise estimation of patents families filed in multiple jurisdictions, the possibility to make available to the users the breakdown of the explanatory power for each relevant variable and validation criteria and the option to choose between different models the one best fitted to their usage scenario. | 09-11-2014 |

In another construction corners of the base rim flange include recessed indentations and surface corrugations that are aligned to strengthen the rim flange. | 01-17-2013 |

20080216188 | PROCESS FOR SELECTING INDIVIDUALS AND DESIGNING A BREEDING PROGRAM - The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods for improving the efficacy of a plant breeding program aimed at altering phenotypic traits for which associations with genetic markers can be established. Genome-wide genetic values of individuals are computed based on the individuals' marker genotypes and the associations established between genetic markers and phenotypic traits. Individuals and breeding schemes are then selected based both on the individuals' genome-wide genetic value and on the distributions of these genetic values for the potential progenies derived through the breeding schemes under evaluation. The presently disclosed subject matter also provides systems and computer program products for performing the disclosed methods as well as plants selected, provided, or produced by any of the methods herein and transgenic plants created by any of the methods herein. | 09-04-2008 |
