Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a search engine for identifying analogies. One of the methods includes: receiving data that includes a set of user selected features and a user selected feature weight for at least one of the user selected features; generating a reference vector based on the received data; determining a level of similarity between the generated reference vector and each of a plurality of analogy vectors that each represent a potential analogy; providing, for output on a display of a user device, a set of one or more analogies based on the determined level of similarity; receiving a subsequent request to evaluate the set of one or more analogies based on a common attribute; determining, for each of the one or more analogies, a representation of the common attribute for each analogy over a time period; and providing, for display on the user device, a representation of the common attribute for each analogy over the time period.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods directed to an electrode initialization step for the electrochemical treatment of monolayers used in electrochemical detection of target analytes on the surface of a monolayer. Electrode initialization creates a more stable monolayer, and resolves variability within the electrochemical signal detected on the monolayer.

Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing a virtual device farm are disclosed. A client device is registered to participate in software testing. One or more applications are selected based on the configuration of the client device. The one or more selected applications are installed on the client device. Programmatic testing of the one or more selected applications is performed using the client device. Results of the programmatic testing are collected.

Abstract: Methods and systems for software testing with feedback acquisition are disclosed. Modified program code is generated based on programmatic analysis of original program code. The modified program code includes the original program code and a plurality of additional instructions. The additional instructions implement user interface prompts soliciting answers to user feedback questions. The modified program code is sent to one or more client devices for execution. User input responsive to the user interface prompts is then received from the one or more client devices.

Abstract: A method of repairing a wind turbine blade while mounted on a tower without removing the blade from the tower. The method includes the steps of removing a damaged portion of the blade and installing a repair portion to the blade where the damaged portion was removed, attaching a curing apparatus to the blade to enclose at least a portion of the repair portion, wherein the curing apparatus has a heating device, and curing the repair portion by heating the exterior surface of the repair portion with the heating device to a temperature of at least 50 degrees Celsius for a period of at least 2 hours.

Abstract: A website server computer hosting a website can identify a visitor to the website by using information provided by a visitor server computer that interacts with the visitor. The information provided by the server computer, in some embodiments, can be a combination of an IP address and characteristics of a computing device from where the visitor visits the website. In some embodiments, the IP address of the visitor server computer is used. In embodiments where the visitor may be sharing the computing device with other users, the characteristics may include at least one characteristic that is uniquely associated with the visitor. The website server computer can use a visitor identifier thus generated to start tracking the pages that the visitor requests during the session and can generate and customize pages for the visitor by using characteristics originated from the visitor.

Abstract: A method and system can be used to identify visitors at a network site (e.g., a website) by using a combination of an address (e.g., IP address) and characteristic(s) of an individual visitor computer. Examples of the characteristic of the individual visitor computer can include the type of the computer, CPU identifier, OS, browser application and version, compatibility of the browser application with other browser applications, display size, screen resolution, locale information, installed plug-in software component(s), mimetypes supported, whether a programming language is enabled, accessory(ies) that can be activated by a browser application, or any other information that may be used in locating or generating a page. The method and system is more accurate than just using an IP address, and the information used for visitor identification will not usually be blocked if cookies are unavailable.
