Abstract: In a method of generating a diagnosis of a medical condition, a list of symptoms is received at a server from a patient computer. The list of symptoms is presented to a plurality of participants. A list of diagnoses corresponding to the list of symptoms is presented to the plurality of participants. An input is received from each of the plurality of participants in which the input indicates a likelihood of each of the potential diagnoses being correct. The input from each of the plurality of participants is averaged, thereby generating a ranking of the potential diagnoses from highest likelihood of being correct to lowest likelihood of being correct, which is transmitted to the patient. An indication of which diagnosis was found to be correct is received from the patient. A reward is paid to each participant based on how likely the participant indicated that the correct diagnosis was correct.

Abstract: A method, network entity and computer program product are provided for conducting a prediction market to test product concepts. In particular, an interface may be provided from which a user may select one or more markets in which the user would like to participate in a prediction market. Information associated with each of a group of product concepts falling within one of the selected markets, including a stock price, may be retrieved and displayed to the user. The user may indicate a number of shares he or she would like to purchase in at least one of the product concepts, and the stock price associated with each of the product concepts may be adjusted based on the number of shares purchased. A report may be generated and transmitted to a merchant associated with the product concepts being tested, wherein the report may include a volume weighted average price associated with each product concept.

Abstract: An adhesive band is applied by spraying, at a cuff end of a polyurethane glove, as a glove form carrying the polyurethane glove is rotated about a longitudinal axis. The adhesive band is applied before a rolled cuff is formed on the cuff end of the polymeric glove, via one or more rotating rollers or via one or more rotating brushes, as the glove form carrying the polymeric glove is rotated about the longitudinal axis. The adhesive band contains an uncured polyurethane and a solvent for the polyurethane, as contained by a bath wherein the polymeric glove was formed by dipping, withdrawing, and curing steps.
