Abstract: A method and system provides arrangements creating a relationship between a real-world entity and a virtual world environment. A virtual world patron can participate in various virtual world activities including transactions to acquire virtual products, virtual services, and/or virtual items of value. Feedback may be provided and records kept regarding the virtual world activities and transactions. The virtual world patron may also have an opportunity of engaging in related real-world activities and transactions. Designated virtual objects with special distinguishable attributes may be sponsored by a real-world entity. Some virtual world communication techniques may be used to help establish a recognizable association between the real-world entity and the designated virtual objects.

Abstract: An apparatus, device, methods, computer program product, and system are described that determine a virus associated with communication data on a communications network, the communications network associated with at least one network policy device, associate an anti-viral agent with at least one identifier, prioritize transmission of the at least one identifier through the at least one network policy device, relative to the communication data, and provide the anti-viral agent on the communications network, in response to the prioritizing transmission of the at least one identifier through the at least one network. policy device.

Abstract: A method and system are described for obtaining a first code role indicator, an association between the first code role indicator and a first code module, and a second code role indicator and circuitry for deciding whether to install a second code module in a first node, responsive to a result of a comparison between the first code role indicator and the second code role indicator.

Abstract: One aspect relates to a technique for. analyzing at least one condition of at least one fluid(s) and/or element(s) as contained within an individual. The technique can include detecting a failure to maintain a regimen for the individual based at least in part on the analyzing the at least one condition of the at least one fluid(s) and/or element(s) as contained within the individual.

Abstract: An apparatus, device, methods, computer program product, and system are described that determine a virus associated with a communications network, and distribute an anti-viral agent onto the communications network using a bypass network, the bypass network configured to provide transmission of the anti-viral agent with at least one of a higher transmission speed, a higher transmission reliability, a higher transmission security, and/or a physically-separate transmission path, relative to transmission of the virus on the communications network.

Abstract: A method and system are described for generating a signal indicative of an intravascular image received at least partly via a light transducer and invoking circuitry for passing the generated signal out of a subject's body.

Abstract: One aspect relates to analyzing at least one condition of at least one fluid as contained within an individual, and transferring at least one element relative to the individual in an effort to maintain and/or change the at least one condition of the at least one element with respect to the at least one fluid at least partially in response to the analyzing the at least one condition of the at least one fluid as contained within the individual.
