  • Publication number: 20230196412
    Abstract: A method, computer apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium implementing a method for sending targeted promotional messages to subscribers to a telecommunications service for execution by at least one network element of a service provider. The at least one network component determines profiling criteria and an advertisement timing associated with an advertising campaign. The at least one network component consults a context awareness engine that stores time-varying user data for a plurality of subscribers. At a time which satisfies the advertisement timing, the at least one network component sends a message to a subscriber whose user data match the profiling criteria. The at least one network component repeats the steps of consulting and sending after a change in the user data has occurred during the advertising campaign.

  • Patent number: 9198831
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fluid transfer system for transferring a substance from one vessel to another vessel while avoiding leakage of liquid and gas contaminants. The transfer system includes a needle safe design that is facilitated by a housing that shrouds a tip of a fluid transfer cannula such that the cannula tip is not exposed for inadvertent puncture. This feature may also be enhanced by use of a blunt tipped cannula. The fluid transfer system permits multiple access by enabling the easy swabbing of a septum prior to use.

  • Publication number: 20090298130
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods of generating a nucleic acid molecule. In certain embodiments, a double stranded nucleic acid chunk is generated from a ladder complex comprising partially complementary oligonucleotides, which chunk is combined with a nucleic acid acceptor molecule. In certain embodiments, the assembled chunk/nucleic acid acceptor molecule complex may be propagated in vivo or in vitro. The present invention also provides improved systems for generating a plurality of nucleic acid molecules that differ at one or more nucleotide positions. In certain embodiments, the plurality of nucleic acid molecules encodes a polypeptide or portion of a polypeptide.
