Abstract: A content delivery system, such as a Just in Time Training (JITT) system which allows the broadcast of multimedia messages to recipients or users. The JITT system identifies the multimedia capabilities as well as the capabilities of the service provider and recipient device for each user and uses this profile information to determine an appropriate messaging format to use to send the message to each user. User involvement is used to determine the functionality and content type delivery for each user mobile device. This profiling may be performed in any of a number of different ways, including smart echo, caller-ID initiated (CIDI) and SMS initiated (SMSI) profiling. In smart echo profiling, the user sends the JITT system a multimedia sample from the mobile device, and the JITT system then sends messages and content to the mobile devise using the same format.

Abstract: The invention provides compounds of formula I wherein n, A, R, R?, R?, RO, X and Y are as defined in the description, and their preparation. The compounds of formula I are useful as pharmaceuticals.

The tracking social behaviors include tracking behaviors related to the content creation activities performed within the social software environment. The identifying activities of value include identifying activities of value associated with the content creation activities. Finally, associating the activities of value with a complex activity can form a composite picture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a quinazolinone compound of the formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and m are as defined in the specification and in the claims, in free form or in salt form, and, where possible, in acid addition salt form, as a vanilloid.

Abstract: The invention is a discreet patch suitable for use in the treatment of a viral lesion, which patch includes a backing layer and an adhesive layer, where the adhesive layer is substantially free of hydrocolloid particles, and the patch has a thickness ranging from about 10 microns to about 1,500 microns and is substantially free of topical anti-acne agents, and methods for treating viral lesions where a discreet patch of the invention is applied to a viral lesion and maintained in contact therewith for a time effective to substantially complete re-epithelialization of the lesion.

Abstract: An electronic information card generation and transmittal system generates audience member or user initiated electronic information request cards. Such electronic information request cards (EIRCs) enable broadcasters, network operators, advertisers and program producers to capture and take advantage of the impulse purchase urges, as indicated by the generation of an information request, of the audience members for converting those urges into purchases or information sharing. For example, a network provider/broadcaster notifies an audience member of eligibility to participate in the facility of the system. The audience member signs up to participate in the facility by registering the system for that user. Upon viewing or listening to a program or commercial of interest, the audience member initiates an EIRC through a user interface.
