Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for generating a visual transformation of a business analytic artifact. Features from a received business analytic artifact (e.g., dashboard) are extracted. Furthermore, constraints are determined for a transformed representation of the business analytic artifact. A heuristic-based search is then performed on a space of possible transformed representations of the business analytic artifact using the extracted features to identify a transformed version that satisfies the determined constraints and maximizes readability. A final score is then generated for each possible transformed representation of the business analytic artifact based on the extent that the transformed version satisfies the determined constraints and maximizes the readability. The transformed representation of the business analytic artifact that has the highest score is selected and displayed on the target device.

Abstract: In an approach to improve generating an analytic application embodiments generate an analytic application from an image. Embodiments determine an orientation, font size, and color of a text, wherein the text is selected from one or more texts that are part of a visualization from the image. Embodiments classify the text using semantic analysis having predetermined criteria to create a result. Furthermore, embodiments bind one or more columns from a dataset to the visualization using the result of the semantic analysis, and apply a selection identified using predetermined criteria, comprising sorting, filtering, grouping, and aggregating, to data of the visualization. Additionally, embodiments create a new color palette having a dominant color in the analytic application, wherein the dominant color is identified as a most recurring color in the visualization of the image, and apply the new color palette to the analytic application.

Abstract: In an approach to combining visualizations in a business analytic application, responsive to receiving a plurality of original visualizations from a user, one or more visualization groups are created. A strength score is calculated for each visualization group of the one or more visualization groups. Responsive to the strength score for each visualization group of the one or more visualization groups meeting a minimum threshold score, one or more recommended visualizations are generated, wherein the one or more recommended visualizations are combinations of the plurality of original visualizations. The one or more recommended visualizations are sent to the user.

Abstract: Provided is a method for extracting features from an image of a dashboard. The method comprises detecting a position of one or more visualizations in an image of a dashboard. Each of the one or more visualizations is classified based on a type of object in the visualization. Features of the visualizations are extracted. The features include data points underlying the visualizations, one or more colors in the image, and text found in the image. An output array is generated based on the extracted features.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for creating a descriptor for a dashboard template. The column-to-visualization mappings are extracted from a dashboard of a created or modified dashboard (or a created or modified dashboard template). Furthermore, the concept combinations from each visualization of the dashboard are extracted. Additionally, topics from the dashboard are extracted. The concept combinations, topics and column-to-visualization mappings are aggregated into a dashboard template descriptor. The dashboard template descriptor is then stored. In this manner, the dashboard template descriptor captures how concept combinations are used in the visualizations of the dashboard as well as how high-level concepts (topics) are incorporated in the dashboard. Furthermore, the dashboard template descriptor captures how the concepts of the columns of a dataset are mapped to the visualizations of the dashboard.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for recommending a template or a dataset. A descriptor (input descriptor) of the input, corresponding to a dataset or a dashboard template, is extracted or fetched. The input descriptor may be the descriptor of the dataset which includes topics and concept combinations. Alternatively, the input descriptor may be the descriptor of the dashboard template which includes topics, concept combinations and column-to-visualization mappings. Scores are then generated for the candidate targets, corresponding to dashboard templates or datasets, based on one or more of the following: matching topics in the input descriptor with topics in the candidate target descriptors, matching concept combinations in the input descriptor with concept combinations in the candidate target descriptors, and determining compatibility of the datasets with the dashboard templates.

Abstract: Mobile devices may obtain applications from an application market infrastructure. The applications may consume data from a data allocation that has been purchased from a mobile data provider. A user may assign a sub-allocation of the data allocation with a specific application, for use by the application. When the sub-allocation is depleted, the application may alert the user and also give the user an opportunity to purchase additional data. If the user accepts an offer to purchase additional data, the application calls the application market infrastructure to process a purchase transaction for the additional data. The application market infrastructure interacts with the user to complete the transaction and then instructs the mobile data provider to allocation additional data to the mobile device of the user, which is then added to the sub-allocation associated with the application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of proteins which bind the dendritic cell marker known as Clec9A. The present invention provides new compounds for targeting therapeutic agents such as antigens to dendritic cells. Also provided are methods of modulating a humoral and/or T cell mediated immune response to the antigen, methods of delivery of a cytotoxic agent to dendritic cells thereof involved in diseased states, methods of modulating the uptake and/or clearance of cells with a disrupted cell membrane, cells infected with a pathogen, dying cells or dead cells, or a portion thereof, and methods of modulating antigen recognition, processing and/or presentation, as well as immune responses to material derived from cells with a disrupted cell membrane, cells infected with a pathogen, dying cells or dead cells, or a portion thereof.

Abstract: A novel approach to diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the peritoneal cavity is described. More specifically, a technique for accessing the peritoneal cavity via the wall of the digestive tract is provided so that examination of and/or a surgical procedure in the peritoneal cavity can be conducted via the wall of the digestive tract with the use of a flexible endoscope. As presently proposed, the technique is particularly adapted to transgastric peritoneoscopy. However, access in addition or in the alternative through the intestinal wall is contemplated and described as well. Transgastric and/or transintestinal peritoneoscopy will have an excellent cosmetic result as there are no incisions in the abdominal wall and no potential for visible post-surgical scars or hernias.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of a PEST motif in Suppressor of Cytokine Signalling (SOCS) proteins, the deletion/inactivation of which has been found to increase the stability of the protein whilst maintaining at least one biological activity of the protein. Such SOCS proteins with deleted/inactivated PEST motifs can be used in gene and protein therapy procedures to provide a more stable SOCS protein when compared to the native protein. The present invention also relates to the characterization of the structure of SOCS proteins, and methods of using this structural information to identify compounds which modulate the activity of SOCS.

Abstract: A technique is described for reducing the stomach cavity endoscopically, from within the stomach or, in the alternative, from within the peritoneal cavity via a wall of the digestive tract. This new approach for reducing gastric capacity uses a flexible endoscope and a specially adapted ligating loop that is secured at spaced locations about an inner periphery of the stomach. After attachment, the loop is constricted to draw together the associated gastric wall portions to reduce the food receiving cavity defined at the base of the esophagus. The ligating loop is preferably a slip knotted loop.
