The invention also provides small molecule inhibitors of Ral GTPases useful in the methods of the invention and pharmaceutical compositions containing the therapeutically effective compounds of the invention, and methods of using the same.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for measuring health care provider performance and optimizing provision of health care services are provided. A method may include identifying potential chronic conditions a patient has based on a chronic conditions mapping. The method may also comprise determining a cost score. The method may further comprise determining an outcome score. The method may additionally comprise obtaining a final outcome score for each of a plurality of providers based on a variance weighted average of probabilities for groups of metrics pertaining to each provider. The method additionally include generating a final quality index based upon the final outcome score for each provider.

Abstract: A system for monitoring loading of equipment includes a transmitter assembly mounted to the equipment and a central server. The transmitter assembly has a strain gauge secured to the equipment, an on-board controller and a battery. The central server is in communication with the on-board controller. The central server is configured to receive collected loading data from the transmitter assembly. The on-board controller is configured to operate the transmitter assembly in a load monitoring power mode and a deep sleep mode. The on-board controller is configured to operate at a sleep interval when a load measured by the strain gauge is less than ten percent of a rated working load of the equipment and at an active interval when the load measured by the strain gauge is greater than ten percent of the rated working load. The sleep interval is less than the active interval.

Abstract: Methods and systems for a networked storage environment are provided. One method includes retrieving network access information by a management console to connect to a storage system node in a converged infrastructure (CI) environment with defined configuration requirements for deploying the storage system node that manages a plurality of storage devices; performing an initial determination to ascertain that the storage system node is capable of meeting the CI environment configuration requirements; configuring a plurality of network data ports of the storage system node for sending and receiving data to and from a client system to meet the CI environment configuration requirements; creating an aggregate having storage space at the plurality of storage devices to meet the CI environment configuration requirements for storage devices; and generating a storage volume in compliance with the CI environment configuration requirements.

Abstract: A method and system for the recording of separate asynchronous video conversations and compositing them into one video, which simulates a real-time, synchronous conversation is provided and particularly a method and system used to allow a fan to interact with an influencer.

Abstract: A light controller capable of varying the brightness of a light emitting diode in a linear manner. The light controller may control a number of lights in a predetermined pattern or in a pattern designed by the user. A remote control may be used to control and interact with the light controller. The light controller may have inputs for audio signals, tachometer signals, or other external signals. The light controller may be coupled to other light controllers to enable the control of additional lights in a synchronized manner. The light controller may be particularly well suited to controlling light emitting diodes and controlling lights in a vehicle accent lighting application, although many other uses may be apparent.
