| 20100015613 | Systems and Methods for Improving Protein and Milk Production of Dairy Herds - The present invention provides for a direct correlation between milk production in livestock animals and the presence of alleles of a gene encoding an adipocyte-specific polypeptide, termed leptin, which gene is hereinafter referred to as ob. The invention also provides novel compositions consisting essentially of specific oligonucleotides that are useful as primers to amplify particular regions of the genome during enzymatic nucleic acid amplification, thus providing a rapid, sensitive and specific method for the detection of the ob-gene polymorphism which may be present in a specimen. The invention further provides for methods of screening bovine to determine those having predictably more milk productivity and advantageously selecting those livestock for future breeding and management purposes based on the ob polymorphisms. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20120191545 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING A PROFILE OF A USER - Systems and methods of managing a profile of a user of at least one device having access to electronic content. The systems and methods may involve receiving a user identifier for a user of at least one device configured to access electronic content; storing a profile of the user in a memory, where the profile of the user comprises the user identifier; if a user activity meets at least one event definition, identifying the user activity as an event; receiving data associated with the event; and recording at least a portion of the data associated with the event in the profile of the user. | 07-26-2012 |
| 20150058077 | REPORTING RESULTS OF AN AB TYPE OF TEST - A first subset of results, from testing a first version of an item versus a second version of the item, is accessed and displayed. The first subset includes first values associated with the first version and second values associated with the second version. The first subset is determined according to settings for parameters associated with the data. A representation of the first values includes a first band having a first width corresponding to confidence intervals for the first values, and a representation of the second values includes a second band having a second width corresponding to confidence intervals for the second values. In response to a change in the settings, a second subset of the results is automatically determined, accessed, and displayed and the first width and the second width of the first and second bands are automatically updated and displayed. | 02-26-2015 |

| 20140257991 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REAL-TIME PRIORITIZED MARKETING - Computer-implemented methods are provided for the delivery and/or prioritization of electronic marketing and promotional offers to a client device. In some embodiments, user context information associated with a user, and/or extrinsic context information, is employed to identify matching offers for a user, and to prioritize and optionally rank a subset of the matching offers. In other embodiments, user context information, and optionally extrinsic context information, is employed to dynamically trigger the activation and optional customization of offers for users, according to triggering logic and trigger parameters. In other embodiments, extrinsic context information is employed for triggering the availability of offers to one or more users, according to triggering logic and trigger parameters. | 09-11-2014 |

| 20140205957 | COMBUSTIBLE FLUID CUTTING SAFETY SYSTEM - Embodiments of the present invention provide components and a system for providing a safer environment for using a cutting torch. The system includes a cutting torch and a control box. There is communication from the user to the control box to allow fluids to flow to the torch. The control box includes closed biased valve(s) such that if there is a condition where there is no instruction from the troch to the control box and/or power is lost, the valves will shut, preventing fluid from flowing into the torch. | 07-24-2014 |

| 20090204908 | FRIENDS LIST MANAGEMENT - A method and system of managing a user's friends in a virtual environment are presented. The method includes interacting a virtual character with a plurality of additional virtual characters in response to commands input from the user entered via the user computer. A subset of the additional users, the additional virtual characters, or a combination of the additional users and the additional virtual characters are designated as friends of the user in the virtual environment, and the friends are added to a list of friends associated with the user. The friends on the list displayed to the user can be ranked in an order based at least in part on the interacting of the virtual character controlled by the user with the plurality of additional virtual characters in the virtual environment. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090240659 | SOCIAL NETWORKING IN A NON-PERSONALIZED ENVIRONMENT - A social networking website allows users to interact socially without revealing any information about themselves. The only information they reveal is about their virtual pets in the virtual website world. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090307609 | SOCIAL NETWORKING IN A NON-PERSONALIZED ENVIRONMENT - A social networking website allowing users to interact socially without revealing any personal information about themselves.

| 20120036147 | MESSAGE FILTER WITH REPLACEMENT TEXT - A computer network-based messaging system controls the content of messages sent by users. A database includes permitted words and replacement text elements corresponding to at least one permitted word. A message filter receives an entered word or phrase input by a user on a messaging device as part of a message. The message filter replaces the entered word in the message with a corresponding replacement text element stored in the database. A message sending part transmits the message including the replacement text element over a data network for viewing by other users only if every entered word in the message is included in the database. The message sending part transmits the message even though one or words contained in the replacement text element are not permitted words in the database. The system may allow deletion of a replacement text element from a message only in its entirety. | 02-09-2012 |
