Publication number: 20120329715Abstract: The invention relates to novel polypeptide analogues of GLP-1 and exendin-4. The polypeptide, in a preferred embodiment, is insulinotropic and long-acting. Preferably, the polypeptide's insulinotropic effect is comparable to or exceeds the effect of an equimolar amount of GLP-1 or exendin-4. The invention also relates to a method of treating a subject with diabetes, comprising administering to the subject the polypeptide of the invention in an amount that has an insulinotropic effect. The invention also relates to methods of using GLP-1, exendin-4, and polypeptide analogues thereof for neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2012Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: The Gov. of the US, as represented by the Secretary, Dept. of Health & Human ServicesInventors: Nigel Greig, Josephine Egan, Maire Doyle, Harold Holloway, Tracy Ann Perry

Publication number: 20120072409Abstract: A method and system is provided that in a fully automated manner crawls web sites and identifies specific types of web pages, then extracts targeted data from those web pages. One or more text nodes containing product-related information on a first web page are first identified, and the locations of those test nodes are described using one or more vectors. The vectors are then analyzed to identify one or more patterns and to generate a model from those patterns that discriminates between text nodes that contain product-related information and text nodes that do not contain product-related information on a second web page. The model can then be used to crawl web sites to identify and extract targeted data, or the model can be installed on a user's computer to identify and extract targeted information from web sites as the user is browsing.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2011Publication date: March 22, 2012Inventors: Bradley John Perry, Nancy Ann Perry, Daniel Carl Marriott

Patent number: 8065353Abstract: A customer search terminal system may be configured to accept customer product searches and identify corresponding products and product information. A method for determining the efficacy of the customer search terminal may include receiving customer usage information including data related to customer usage of a customer search terminal and may also include receiving product sales information including data related to products sold at a point-of-sale terminal. The method may further include generating customer purchase behavior information by correlating the received customer search terminal usage information with the received product sales information when a product is sold at the point-of-sale terminal within a prescribed time period relative to a search for the product on the customer search terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2008Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Wendy S. Eckhoff-Hornback, Robert William Ash, Terri Jo Peterson, Joseph Herman Pletsch, Patricia Ann Perry
