Abstract: The present invention relates to use of pharmaceutical compositions that have as active ingredient the basic form of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) and that are administered nasally for the treatment of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) with mutations of CAG repeats type, particularly of SCA type 2. Another object of the present invention is a method for stratifying patients into responders and non-responders to treatment with the basic form of rhEPO.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing content are disclosed. In an embodiment, information encoding at least one keyword that is associated with first content accessed by a user is received. A search query based at least in part on at least one keyword is executed to identify items. In response to a request from the user to access second content, a response is generated to the request that includes item information associated with at least a subset of the identified items. The response is provided to the user.

Abstract: A baseball and a method of instructing throwing a baseball is disclosed. The baseball has a seam, a first, preferably green, color zone placed on a first side of the ball, a second, preferably yellow color zone placed around a first circumference of the ball, and a third, preferably red, color zone placed on a second side of the ball. A pair of finger placement markings are carried on the first color zone. The baseball player is instructed to engage in a proper throwing motion, and the ball confirms by maintaining visual line of sight with the first color zone throughout, providing feedback of a correct throwing motion in which the ball is drawn. away from the target with the arm and hand placed in a correct position.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for placing content in a user interface depending upon a likely location of the gaze of a user. Coordinates are determined that correspond to an area of interest in a viewport of a first user interface. At least one content item of interest is identified and the content items of interest placed in the area of interest.

Abstract: A fastening device comprising a cam lock is received within a first orifice of a first component and a threaded fastener extending through a central axial cavity provided in the cam lock is received within a second orifice of a second component. A cam surface on the cam lock induces a clamping load between the first and the second components normal to the axial cavity when rotated from a first to a second rotational position.

Abstract: Aspects of connected phrase search queries and titles are described. In one embodiment, a phrase in a search string may be identified with reference to a compilation data store. The compilation data store may include various collaborative, taxonomy, and brand name data, for example. After a phrase is identified in the search string, a search query may be generated based on the phrase. For example, a catalog of items may be queried to generate a query result, and the query result may be parsed for display to a user. In various embodiments, a plurality of phrases may be identified in a search string, and a plurality of search queries may be generated based on combinations of the phrases. In this manner, more search results may be obtained, especially for constrained search strings. The identification of phrases may also be applied to generate variations on titles, in certain embodiments.

Abstract: A computerized system and techniques facilitate the monitoring and management of online behaviorally-targeted advertising. In certain embodiments, electronic notifications related to advertising practices of members of an online advertising ecosystem are presented to users based on the discovery of elements of online content aimed at delivering targeted advertising messages to viewers of the content.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for optimization of yield for advertising inventory. A method includes, in a network of interconnected computers, sending a request for a file from a browser residing on a user system to a publisher server, receiving the requested file from the publisher server, the requested file including instructions for the browser to request a site file from a rules server, receiving the site file in the browser, the site file including rules for deciding whether an advertising impression is desired, rules for valuing the advertising impression, and browser executable code that applies and evaluates the rules, executing the browser executable code to evaluate the rules from the site file which determine if one or more signals should be attached to an advertisement request, and selecting an advertisement from a network ad server based on a signal received with the advertisement request from the browser.

Abstract: A method includes, in a server residing in a network of interconnected computers, receiving user data, dissecting the received user data into a plurality of key/value pairs, iterating through the plurality of key/value pairs, generating a new data structure in the memory of the server for each key/value pair that do not exist, inserting a UserID into a set associated for a specific key/value pair, storing the key/value sets, and destroying the received user data.

Abstract: A method and system for attributing activity to a user includes sharing information with an analytics server while attributes and a user profile cannot be tracked back to the original user from the analytics server. A temporary ID included in the shared information is destroyed, thus eliminating any trace back.

Abstract: Effective color-aware search of a collection of content associated with one or more images is enabled. Content and/or its associated images may be automatically associated with representative palette colors in a suite of color palettes. Color palettes may be of a variety of types and have a hierarchical structure in which lower levels enable increasingly subtle distinctions between shades of color. Color palette hierarchies may be effectively presented, and appropriate portions emphasized based on associated search result sets. Search result sets may be refined and/or reordered in accordance with color palette selections and/or representative confidences of color palette selections for items at least referenced therein.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating search results when a search string fails to return results as entered. In a representative example, a failure of a first query generated from a search string to identify at least a predefined threshold number of items from among a plurality of items in a data store is detected in a computing device. A plurality of altered versions of the search string is generated in the computing device. A submission of a plurality of second queries to the data store is implemented, where each of the second queries corresponds to one of the altered versions of the search string. A presentation is generated to be rendered of at least two separate groups of items resulting from corresponding ones of the second queries.
