Abstract: A method is provided for validating advertising metrics which relate to tracking of interactive events performed by electronic devices. A metric report with an event code that indicative of at least one interactive event performed by an electronic device associated with the network is received. The format of the event code is analyzed to determine whether the event code is consistent with predetermined format rules and the substance of information conveyed by the event code is analyzed to determine whether the event code is consistent with predetermined substance rules. If the event code is determined to be consistent with the predetermined format rules and the predetermined substance rules, the event code is accepted as valid. Otherwise, the event code is identified as being invalid.

Abstract: Various embodiments include systems, methods, data structures, and software to allow a mobile electronic device to update content resolved from a mobile code. For example, a mobile code-reading application executing on a mobile electronic device may receive a mobile code image and decode the mobile code into a data format, the data format including resolved content. The mobile code reading application may detect a content update address field in the data format, the content update address field identifying a content source. A request may be sent to the content source to verify if the resolved content is current and the resolved content or updated content may be presented by a user interface device of the mobile electronic device. In some embodiments, metadata of the resolved content is stored on the mobile electronic device and sent with the request to aid in the verifying. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A method and system of qualifying triggers within a context aware mechanism in an execution environment that includes a network element, the method defining aspects that at least one application employs, an aspect being an application level abstraction relevant to a source or service; associating, at the network element, at least one aspect triggers with said aspects from the defining step; deriving qualifiers at the network element for each of the at least one aspect triggers; and qualifying each of the at least one aspect triggers at the network element with the qualifiers derived in the deriving step.

Abstract: A method within a computing execution environment for the establishment of a context for a watcher, the method receiving a subscription request including a service identifier; associating the service identifier with a service context for a service; and applying the service context to information returned to the watcher.

Abstract: Various embodiments include systems, methods, data structures, and software to allow a mobile electronic device to retrieve additional content pertaining to content resolved from a mobile code. For example, a mobile code reading application executing on a mobile electronic device may receive a mobile code image and resolve the image to obtain data represented therein. The data resolved from the mobile code image may then be parsed to identify content, such as an image, and an identifier of additional content, such as a Universal Resource Identifier. The content item may then be presented by a target application via a user interface device of the mobile electronic device along with a user interface element representative of the additional content. Other embodiments include providing a mobile code service on a mobile electronic device or on a computing resource accessible by a mobile computing device over a network. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: According to the invention there are provided derivatives of a C21-deoxy ansamycin or salt thereof which contain a 1-hydroxyphenyl moiety bearing at position 3 an aminocarboxy substituent, in which position 5 and the aminocarboxy substituent at position 3 are connected by an aliphatic chain of varying length characterised in that the 1-hydroxy position of the phenyl ring is derivatised by an aminoalkyleneaminocarbonyl group, which alkylene group (which may optionally be substituted by alkyl groups) has a chain length of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, a phosphoric acid, or a phosphoric acid ester (such as an alkyl ester) group, or a salt thereof, and which derivatising group increases the water solubility and/or the bioavailability of the parent molecule. Such compounds are useful in therapy eg in the treatment of cancer and B-cell malignancies.
