Abstract: A data perspective analysis method is provided. The method includes obtaining, using a processor, one or more perspective criteria stored in a memory device. The method includes gathering, at the processor, master data and transactional data associated with each of the one or more perspective criteria. The method includes generating, at the processor, one or more perspectives by applying the one or more perspectives criteria to the master data and the transactional data. The method includes comparing, at the processor, at least two perspectives, and displaying, on a display controlled by the processor, a result of the comparison of the at least two perspectives as a dynamic and animated visualization.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for consolidating and transforming object-descriptive input data to distributed rendered location data. The systems and methods are configured to receive object-descriptive input data from a plurality of input devices, consolidate the object-descriptive input data and correlate it with a plurality of physical objects, determine first and second subsets of the plurality of physical objects based on a proximity of each of the physical objects to each of a plurality of user devices, construct user device-specific graphical maps each indicating a route to each object in a subset, and instruct each user device to display a graphical map constructed therefor.

Abstract: A system receives registrations of users specifying a geographic preference and product preferences for demonstrations. The system likewise receives notifications of available demonstrations from vendors. Relevant demonstrations are identified for each user. In response to detecting a demonstration meeting the user's geographic preference, a notification of the demonstration is transmitted to the user. Notifications may be sent in response to demonstrations within a threshold distance from a location specified by the user, upon the user entering a store near a scheduled time for a relevant demonstration. Notifications may be sent in response to detecting a relevant demonstration within a threshold time from a predicted shopping trip of the user.

Abstract: A population of nanoparticles is disclosed. The population is comprised of a plurality of core/shell nanocrystals, each including: a semiconductor core, an intermediate semiconductor shell layer disposed over the semiconductor core, an external semiconductor shell layer disposed over the intermediate semiconductor shell layer, and a hydrophilic organic layer in direct contact with the external semi-conductor shell layer. The population of nanoparticles has a ?on value of less than about 1.4.
