Abstract: A system may determine a document inception date associated with a document, generate a score for the document based, at least in part, on the document inception date, and rank the document with regard to at least one other document based, at least in part, on the score.

Abstract: A system determines an extent to which advertisements are presented or updated within a document, a quality of an advertiser associated with an advertisement provided within the document, whether an advertisement in the document relates to an advertising document that has more than a threshold amount of traffic, and/or an extent to which an advertisement provided within the document generates user traffic to an advertising document related to the advertisement. The system generates a score for the document based, at least in part, on the extent to which advertisements are presented or updated within the document, the quality of the advertiser associated with the advertisement provided within the document, whether the advertisement relates to an advertising document that has more than the threshold amount of traffic, and/or the extent to which the advertisement generates user traffic to the advertising document.

Abstract: A system may determine an extent to which a document is selected when the document is included in a set of search results, generate a score for the document based, at least in part, on the extent to which the document is selected when the document is included in a set of search results; and rank the document with regard to at least one other document based, at least in part, on the score.

Abstract: A method and system enable indemnification of funds transferred electronically to an end merchant. An intermediary service having a server in communication with an automated clearinghouse system and having a client interface provides an online account for committing an irrevocable transfer of funds to the merchant account of a participating end merchant at the request of a client. Preferably, the intermediary verifies the client's identify and authorization to access the client's source account. In particular, the intermediary can provide an irrevocable transfer of funds to an end merchant substantially instantly upon the request of the payor client.

Abstract: A method and system for enables expeditious transfer of funds electronically to an end merchant substantially instantaneously upon the request of a new payor or client. An intermediary service having a server in communication with an automated clearinghouse system and having a client interface provides an online account for transfer of at least a permitted portion of requested funds to the merchant account of a participating end merchant at the request of a payor client. The intermediary verifies the client's identify through a series of authenticating questions including those verifying non-financial information for establishing the client's authorization to access the client's source account for settlement of the transferred funds. In another embodiment, a merchant indemnification system provides further financial security for the end merchant.

Abstract: A system identifies a document and obtains one or more types of history data associated with the document. The system may generate a score for the document based, at least in part, on the one or more types of history data.

Abstract: A content-targeting ad system is provided with a user behavior (e.g., selection (e.g., click), conversion, etc.) feedback mechanism. The performance of individual ads, or groups of ads, may be tracked on a per document (e.g. per URL) and/or on a per host (e.g. per Website) basis. The performance of ad targeting functions may also be tracked on a per document, and/or per host basis. Such user behavior feedback data may be processed (e.g., aggregated) into useful data structures. Such user behavior feedback data (raw or processed) may then be used in a content-targeting ad system to improve ad quality, improve user experience, and/or maximize revenue.

Abstract: There is provided a process for the preparation of 7-substituted-3-quinolinecarbonitriles and intermediates useful in a process to prepare 7-substituted-3-quinolinecarbonitriles and pharmaceutically acceptable salts is described. Where 7-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro-3-quinolinecarbonitrile is converted in three steps to 7-substituted-3-quinolinecarbonitriles which inhibit the action of certain protein kinases and are useful in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract: An abdominal exercise device (10) is disclosed to facilitate exercise of the abdominal muscles. The device includes a foam pad support (12) to support the head, upper back and neck. A strap (14) is secured to the support (12) by a plurality of ties (24). The strap forms first and second handles (34, 36) which extend to first and second ends (16, 18). First and second grips (20, 22) are mounted at the first and second ends (16, 18), respectively. The length of the handles (34, 36) are adjustable. The user positions the support (12) behind the neck and grasps the grips (20, 22) to assist in abdominal muscle exercise.
