Abstract: Systems and methods for testing two or more pieces of marketing communication content that intelligently selects test recipients sets to get effective results in a timely manner. One embodiment involves identifying a category of a marketing campaign and identifying potential test recipients who are interested in the category based on interactions by each respective potential test recipient with prior marketing communications associated with the category. The embodiment further involves selecting a first subset and a second subset of the potential test recipients and sending the first marketing communication content to the first subset and sending the second marketing communication content to the second subset. The embodiment further involves assessing responsiveness of recipients of the first subset and assessing responsiveness of recipients of the second subset.

Abstract: An adapter for putting two incompatible medical systems in fluid communication with each other. The adapter may have a continuous outer diameter and may include two segments: a first segment composed of a rigid material and including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a continuous outer diameter and the second portion defining one or more flanges, the first segment defining a first passage therethrough; and a second segment composed of a flexible material and coupled to the first segment, including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the second segment may have an inner surface configured to surround the flanges of the second portion of the first segment, and the second portion of the second segment having a tapered inner surface, the second segment defining a second passage therethrough that is continuous with the first passage.

Abstract: Methods and systems for secure electronic data communication over public communication networks. A secure data communication component may be utilized to implement a communication protocol. New versions of the data communication component may be generated, with each version containing a different communication protocol. Source code of the data communication component may be modified using a polymorph engine to create a functionally-equivalent component having a different code structure. An anti-phishing component may intercept a link in an electronic communication activated by a user, analyze the link and the electronic communication, determine a phishing risk to the user posed by the link, and direct the user to a location indicated by the link or redirect the user to a valid location. A server authentication component may detect and prevent DNS attacks, injections, and defacing activities.
