Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated integrated continuous bioprocess system and bioprocess that are capable of continuously producing therapeutic protein in an uninterrupted manner and scalable from laboratory to manufacturing scale. The present invention provides an automated integrated continuous bioprocess system and bioprocess for producing therapeutic protein, in which the system and process is controlled with one or more control system selected from supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) control system (110), proportional integral derivative (PID), programmable logic circuit (PLC), industrial PC (IPC), distributed control system (DCS), message relaying system and automated UPLC/HPLC sampling for online testing to run the system and process and in an uninterrupted manner and continuously produce therapeutic protein.

Abstract: A system and method for traffic decongestion allows users to bid for faster passage and faster journeys. The system and method allows autonomous, semi-autonomous or user-driven cars, to bid for faster passage for their journeys. Additionally, users willing to use slower journeys may be compensated for their contribution in reducing traffic congestion. In addition to reduction of traffic congestion, the system and method can even out road usage, minimize road wear, give municipalities a new revenue stream, and save users time currently wasted by traffic.

Abstract: A system and method for traffic decongestion which allows users to bid for faster passage and faster journeys. The system and method allows autonomous, semi-autonomous or user-driven cars to bid for faster passage for their journeys. Users willing to use slower journeys may be compensated for their contribution in reducing traffic congestion. In addition to reduction of traffic congestion, the system and method can normalize road usage, minimize road wear, give municipalities a new revenue stream, and save users time currently wasted by traffic.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for determining one or more benchmarks for software usage of an organization based on data internal to the organization. In one example, usage data of a software application of an organization may be obtained or collected. One or more expected users of the software application may be identified. Next, at least one benchmark for usage of the software application may be determined based on a power law, the identified expected user or users, and usage data internal to the organization. The obtained usage data may then be compared to the one or more benchmarks, and results of the comparison output, for example via a graphical user interface or a report.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for graphically representing a number of data objects in three dimensional space. In one example, multiple data objects may be graphically represented and manipulated in a three or more dimensional space, with each axis of a three dimensional grid representing one or more variables or variables of the data objects. A graphical user interface may be provided that enables configuration of the display (visual, or alpha numeric, or both) of any number of variables associated with the data objects of interest. The graphical user interface may also provide for controls that enable manipulation of the data objects themselves and their representation in the three dimensional space. In some aspects, the graphical user interface may provide for animations of the data objects, representing changes in values of the variables associated with the data objects over time to more efficiently convey trend information.

Abstract: Data collected from consumers (e.g., sports fans, spectators, gamers, shoppers) based on their participation associated with an event (e.g., a sporting event, a broadcasted show, an online contest, shopping) can be used to effect the allocation of credit (e.g., points, ratings, fees, money, equity) to select service providers (e.g., sports teams, sport team members, sports team coaches, shows, actors, video game competition, providers of highlighted products at a shopping center, a particular store). Data can be in the form of profile information, location, and input/feedback regarding an event. Data can be collected from a portable electronic device (e.g., smartphone) used by consumers. Feedback can be provided to consumers. Participation associated with an event can be by consumer attendance at an event as determined by portable electronic device location information. Participation can also be provided in the form of consumer input on a user interface associated with their portable electronic device.

Abstract: System and methods are described herein for generating and transferring a contingently deliverable property right (CDPR) associated with a medical good or service. Ownership of the CDPR may be separated from delivery of the medical good or service. In one aspect, a method may include generating a CDPR unique ID for a medical good or service made available by a medical provider and storing the CDPR unique ID and medical good or service information in an object in the memory. The method may further include receiving first ownership information corresponding to the medical good or service, and associating the first ownership information with the CDPR unique ID. The CDPR unique ID may indicate or include a transferrable right to take delivery of the medical good or service.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus and associated method for analyzing investment information. An input unit receives a financial request and one or more investment variables relating to the financial indicator and a description vector unit generates at least two vectors containing the one or more investment variables based on the financial request. A description vector similarity unit then calculates a similarity value by comparing the at least two vectors and an investment analysis unit analyzes the similarity value and the financial request, and determines investment advice based on results of the analysis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for the statistical analysis, display and dissemination of financial data over an information network such as the Internet and WWW. The present invention utilizes resampled statistical methods for the analysis of financial data. Resampled statistical analysis provides a meaningful and reasonable statistical description of financial information, which typically escapes modeling using parametric methods (i.e., assumptions of a Gaussian distribution). The present invention provides at least a GUI that provides functionality for user input of statistical queries, a statistical computation engine that performs statistical analysis of financial data and a graphical rendering engine that generates graphical display of statistical distributions generated by the statistical computation engine. According to one embodiment, the present invention employs a parallel processing architecture to speed generation of the resampled statistics.

Abstract: A system includes an application programming interface (API), a collection module configured to receive a data subset of a data set, the data subset characterizing usage, by users of a set of client devices of a client entity, of a plurality of software applications hosted on a network, wherein the API is configured to enable the client entity to define the data subset and push the data subset to the collection module, a data-storing module configured to store the collected data, and a processing module configured to determine, based on the stored data, at least one usage rating for each of the plurality of software applications.
