Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for collecting and displaying information. A client device executes one or more application programs for providing operations with respect to entity-related data that relates to one or more entities. The application programs analyze the entity-related data to identify one or more entities associated with the entity-related data and transmit entity information relating to the entities to a server or database. Information relating to the entity is retrieved from the server or database and is presented to a user of the client device.

Abstract: Determined seed groups herein improve content dissemination across a communication network connecting a plurality of users. Probabilities of each user in the plurality influencing remaining users in the plurality to observe the content are identified to select a first influential user from the plurality. The seed group size is established and a user of the plurality with a probability proximate to the probability of the first influential user is identified. Based on the seed group size, the probabilities of the remaining users in the plurality are unified with the probability of the first influential user to determine new probabilities of the remaining users, and another user of the plurality with a probability proximate to the probability of the first influential user is identified. The method then provides for selecting the users identified as having probabilities proximate to the probability of the first influential user to establish the seed group.

Abstract: The invention relates to the clinically intelligent design of diagnostic devices (such as microarrays) and methods of making and using such devices in differential diagnoses of specific clinical symptoms or sets of symptoms. In one aspect, the devices include various probes used to perform parallel screening of a number of analytes. The probes are clustered on the devices based on known clinical presentations of symptoms associated with specific diseases and disorders.

Abstract: A lightweight radio/CD player for vehicular application includes a case and frontal interface formed of polymer based material molded to provide details to accept audio devices and radio receivers, as well as the circuit boards required for electrical control and display. The case and frontal interface are of composite structure, including an insert molded electrically conductive wire mesh screen that has been pre-formed to contour with the molding operation. The wire mesh provides shielding and grounding of the circuit boards via exposed wire mesh pads and adjacent ground clips.

Abstract: Methods can prepare tissue engineering scaffolds that include a plurality of biocompatible core/shell microspheres linked together to form a three-dimensional matrix. The matrix can include a plurality of pores for growing cells. The biocompatible microspheres can include first and second sets of microspheres. The first set of microspheres can have a first characteristic, and a first predetermined spatial distribution with respect to the three-dimensional matrix. The second set of microspheres can have a second characteristic that is different from the first characteristic, and a second predetermined spatial distribution that is different from the first predetermined spatial distribution with respect to the three-dimensional matrix.

Abstract: Structured block transfer module, system architecture, and method for transferring content or data. Circuit allowing content in one memory to be shifted, moved, or copied to another memory with no direction from a host, the circuit comprising: a connection manager, at least one copy engine, and a connection between the connection manager and the copy engine. Method for transferring the contents of one of a number of blocks of source memory to one of a number of possible destination memories comprising: selecting source memory; selecting available destination memory; marking the selected destination as no longer available; copying contents of selected source memory into selected destination memory; and marking selected source as available.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating tasks from user observations. One of the methods includes segmenting a plurality of observations associated with a user of a user device into a plurality of tasks previously engaged in by the user; and generating a respective task presentation for each of the plurality of tasks for presentation to the user.

Abstract: A lightweight radio/CD player for vehicular application is virtually “fastenerless” and includes a case and frontal interface formed of polymer based material that is molded to provide details to accept audio devices such as playback mechanisms (if desired) and radio receivers, as well as the circuit boards required for electrical control and display. The case and frontal interface are of composite structure, including an insert molded electrically conductive wire mesh screen that has been pre-formed to contour with the molding operation. The wire mesh provides EMC, RFI, BCI and ESD shielding and grounding of the circuit boards via exposed wire mesh pads and adjacent ground clips. The PCB architecture is bifurcated into a first board carrying common circuit components in a surface mount configuration suitable for high volume production, and a second board carrying application specific circuit components in a wave soldered stick mount configuration.

Abstract: There is a need for water-based sperm- and egg-friendly vaginal lubricant. We describe novel water-based nature-friendly personal moisturizers and lubricants that relieve vaginal dryness. In addition to being non-spermicidal, sperm- and egg-friendly and biological-fluids mimicking, these personal moisturizers and lubricants also enhance sperm survival and motility, promote binding of sperm to eggs and facilitate the process of fertilization. Novel articles, and systems as well as methods of preparation and use of the novel compositions are also provided.
