  • Publication number: 20170230694
    Abstract: There is disclosed a computer device for generating a recommendation message to a user device, the computer device including a processor configured to: receive a context for a user of the user device; and select at least one recommendation for the user in dependence on the context, wherein the at least one recommendation varies in dependence on the context, such that a first at least one recommendation for a user in a first context is different from a second at least one recommendation for the same user in a second context.

  • Publication number: 20170132816
    Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention, periodic data is analysed by obtaining (S1) a vector of delay coordinates for each one of a plurality of samples of the periodic data in a time window, and transforming (S2) each of the vectors into a coordinate system comprising a plurality of predefined vectors, to obtain a projection of an attractor of the periodic data along one of the predefined vectors. The periodic data may be physiological data. In-formation representing one or more characteristics of the obtained attractor, which is of diagnostic value, is then displayed (S3) to enable a diagnosis.

  • Publication number: 20170055033
    Abstract: In some embodiments a content delivery system for controlling media content provided by at least one media device for media consumption by at least one consumer is described. In an embodiment the system comprises at least one sensor for sensing body data of the at least one consumer, a receiver for receiving sensed body data from the sensor, a data store storing media content for selection, at least one media device for outputting said selected content to said at least one consumer, and at least one processor configured to query said data store and control the selection of said media content based at least in part on the sensed body data, and control the output of said selected media content to said at least one media device. The sensed body data may indicate the mood or emotional state of the consumer.

  • Publication number: 20160042075
    Abstract: The invention relates to a content delivery server configured to select from multiple content items a set of content items for display to a user at a user terminal, the content delivery server having access to content identifiers, identifying content items for delivery; a processor operating a content selection program which is arranged to receive the context data for different contexts and to select a set of content items in dependence on the context data, wherein the content items in the set vary with the context data, such that the content of items in a first set for a user in a first context are different from the content of items in a second set for the same user in a second context, and to transmit a recommendation message to the user terminal comprising a set of content identifiers.

  • Patent number: 7454285
    Abstract: A fuel system and powertrain for a flexible fuel system vehicle utilizes a controller system to control variables in an engine and the final drive optimize operating efficiency of the vehicle while using an alcohol-gasoline blend. The controller system regulates engine operating variables such as fuel pressure, fuel flow, air-fuel flow, air-fuel temperature, and valve timing. The controller system regulates engine operating variables such as transmission gear selection and gear changing as well as differential ratio changes.

  • Publication number: 20050113414
    Abstract: Cyclic amino derivatives of formula (1) are described: (1) wherein: m and n, which may be the same or different, is each zero or the integer 1 or 2; Alk3 is a covalent bond or a straight or branched C1-6 alkylene chain; R1 and R2, which may be the same or different, is each a hydrogen atom or a straight or branched C1-6 alkyl group; D is an optionally substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic group; E is an optionally substituted C7-10 cycloalkyl, C7-10 cycloalkenyl or C7-10 polycycloaliphatic group; and the salts, solvates, hydrates, tautomers or N-oxides thereof. The compounds are potent and selective modulators of the interaction between CXCR3 and its chemokine ligands and are thus of use in medicine, for example in the prevention or treatment of conditions involving inappropriate T-cell trafficking such as certain inflammatory, autoimmune and immunoregulatory disorders as described hereinafter.
