Abstract: A system and method to analyze the difference between a consumer's baseline credit score at one point in time and the consumer's credit score at a later point in time, and process the score difference to determine the factors in the consumer's credit profile that most explain the score difference. Systems and methods provide a mechanism for generating and formatting a record, which can be displayed on a display device, to represent those main factors of score difference.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fluorescent silica-based nanoparticle that allows for precise detection, characterization, monitoring and treatment of a disease such as cancer. The nanoparticle has a range of diameters including between about 0.1 nm and about 100 nm, between about 0.5 nm and about 50 nm, between about 1 nm and about 25 nm, between about 1 nm and about 15 nm, or between about 1 nm and about 8 nm. The nanoparticle has a fluorescent compound positioned within the nanoparticle, and has greater brightness and fluorescent quantum yield than the free fluorescent compound. The nanoparticle also exhibits high biostability and biocompatibility. To facilitate efficient urinary excretion of the nanoparticle, it may be coated with an organic polymer, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The small size of the nanoparticle, the silica base and the organic polymer coating minimizes the toxicity of the nanoparticle when administered in vivo.

Abstract: Providers may use mobile devices to access mobile drug sampling services from a drug sample promotional ecosystem. The drug sample promotional ecosystem includes a promotional orchestration engine which comprises a services engine that provides transactional responses to a provider's request, such as informational results being returned to the provider or request for further actions that will be forwarded. An analysis engine stores data and provides tactical and strategic level analysis. The learning engine is a mechanism by which the promotional orchestration engine adapts itself to changing conditions. The learning engine preferably customizes various components of the services engine and components of the analysis engine. From a provider's standpoint, the learning engine allows components of the services engine to be personalized to the particular provider.

Abstract: A facility fulfills drug samples to prescribers in several different manners. A prescriber can request drug samples through an electronic medical record application, an electronic prescribing application, or a mobile application, which are sent to or printed for patients who in turn go to a pharmacy to obtain the free medications.

Abstract: A luminous retrofitting door for use in a troffer-style fixture is provided. A door having a frame operative to be mounted in a troffer is provided. The door may retain one or more optical components including, for example, a LED module, a light guide array, a diffuser, and a reflector, that combine to emit light in a uniform manner from the troffer.
