  • Publication number: 20130282479
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for generating scores related to interactions with a revenue generator. A historical dataset corresponding to a historical behavior of a set of revenue generators may be identified. The historical dataset may be processed to identify a feature vector. A classifier model may be generated from the historical dataset and the feature vector. Current revenue generator data representing a current revenue generator may be collected. The current revenue generator data may be processed to generate a current revenue generator feature vector. A score may be generated by applying the classifier model to the current revenue generator data feature vector.

  • Patent number: 8458025
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for generating scores related to interactions with a service provider partner. A historical dataset corresponding to a historical behavior of a set of service provider partners may be identified. The historical dataset may be processed to identify a feature vector. A classifier model may be generated from the historical dataset and the feature vector. Current service provider partner data representing a current service provider partner may be collected. The current service provider partner data may be processed to generate a current service provider partner feature vector. A score may be generated by applying the classifier model to the current service provider partner data feature vector.

  • Publication number: 20080154668
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for monitoring a service provider partner. A historical dataset corresponding to a historical behavior of a set of service provider partners may be identified. The historical dataset may be processed to identify a feature vector relating to detecting a fraudulent service provider partner. A classifier model may be generated from the historical dataset and the feature vector. Current service provider partner data representing a current service provider partner may be collected. The current service provider partner data may be processed to generate a current service provider partner feature vector. A score representing the likelihood that the service provider partner is fraudulent may be generated by applying the classifier model to the current service provider partner data feature vector. A monitor may be identified and notified of the score of the current service provider partner. The monitor may perform some action based on the score of the current service provider partner.

  • Publication number: 20080075714
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the protection of normal cells from cytoreductive therapy that target proliferating cells, by administering an inhibitor of Wnt signaling pathways. Wnt signaling is critically important for homeostasis of the epithelial lining of the adult intestine and other proliferating normal adult tissues.

  • Publication number: 20060014669
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inhibiting undesired angiogenesis including tumor-associated angiogenesis. The invention further provides a method for increasing the number of red blood cells or hematocrit in the circulation in subjects in need thereof. The invention also provides a method for simultaneously treating low hematocrit and undesired angiogenesis. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for determining efficacy or endpoint of treatment with one or more VEGF-inhibitors.

  • Publication number: 20050169995
    Abstract: These results indicate the efficacy of systemic expression of secreted Wnt antagonists as a general strategy for conditional inactivation of Wnt signaling in adult organisms, and illustrate a striking reliance on a single growth factor pathway for the maintenance of the architecture of the adult small intestine and colon. These results also indicate the potential utility of administration of Wnt pathway agonists for mucosal repair of the small intestine or colon.

  • Patent number: 6092123
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture which provides an efficient way to change the function of a programmable logic unit included in a control device--where the control device manages the operational characteristics of a hardware unit--without having to disable system access to the hardware unit during the updating process. The hardware unit remains fully functional throughout execution of the updating method. To perform the update, the hardware unit must be connected to a host system by at least two communication channels. Each communication channel includes a control device including a programmable logic unit. The programmable logic unit is pre-programmed by a first data set which establishes its predetermined operational characteristics. Upgrading the programmable logic unit is accomplished by logically removing one of the communication channels leading from the host system to the hardware unit.
