Abstract: A system organizes sets of items for navigation, education, selection, and/or acquisition. Sets of items are organized into hierarchical groups according to item attributes and explicitly and implicitly expressed user and/or content provider preferences. Preferences are represented by a preference model that may include a utility function that specifies which types of items are preferred and in which order according to a specific set of preferences. Optimization techniques may be used to find the optimal parameter values for the preference model. The preference model may be updated over time to reflect increased knowledge gathered about the user's and content provider's preferences. Each group of items may include a representative item and a corresponding group description.  Representative items and group descriptions may be selected and displayed using the user preference model. The system may receive explicit input when the user submits a query to the keyword search or filters.

Abstract: The bicycle seat has a pair of seat pads that are independently movably mounted side by side on a pivot axis. Each of the seat pads has a posterior support region and a thigh support region. The posterior support region has a longitudinal circular curvature with radii of curvature having origins located ahead of the pivot axis. The thigh support region is located ahead of the posterior support region and the pivot axis, and it is contiguous with the posterior support region. The thigh support region has a longitudinal parabolic curvature with a principal axis extending above the pivot axis. As a result, a movement of the seat in use is small and cosine-dominant in the posterior support region and is large and sine-dominant in the thigh support region.

Abstract: Provided are a novel titania fine-particle composite which has high transparency, high stability, and high ultraviolet-absorbing power and excellent redispersibility, and skin-care external preparations which contain the titania fine-particle composite and exert high ultraviolet protective effect. The titania fine-particle composite can be produced by adding one or more selected from among carboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives represented by general formula (1), and polymers containing the carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid derivatives as a constituent monomer to an aqueous acid dispersion of titania fine particles, and neutralizing the resulting dispersion with an alkali to form a titania fine-particle composite composed of titania fine particles functioning as cores and the carboxylic monomer or polymer deposited on the surface of the cores.  In the titania fine-particle composite, titania fine particles functioning as cores have a high degree of crystallization and the intermolecular interaction between titania fine particles and the carboxylic monomer or polymer is strong. Therefore, the titania fine-particle composite can be uniformly dispersed in a dispersion medium to attain high transparency and high stability. Further, skin-care external preparations which exert high ultraviolet protective effect can be produced by adding the titania fine-particle composite.

Abstract: A method for measuring and managing an analyte (e.g., blood glucose) in a bodily fluid includes storing a therapeutic administration protocol in a memory module of an analyte measurement and management device and measuring the analyte in the bodily fluid sample using an analyte measurement module of the device. The method also includes calculating, with a processor module of the device, a recommended therapeutic agent dosage (for example, an insulin dosage) and a recommended administration time for user-activated delivery of the dosage by employing the therapeutic administration protocol. The method further includes displaying the recommended therapeutic agent dosage and administration time to a user on a visual display of the device, delivering a therapeutic agent dosage to the user via a user-activated therapeutic agent delivery device, and detecting the user-activated administration of the therapeutic agent using a delivery device communication module of the device. In addition, the method includes communicating the aforementioned detection to the processor module and/or memory module using the delivery device communication module. The method employs analyte measurement, memory, processor, and delivery device modules, as well as a visual display, and user interface that are integrated as a single hand-held unit.

Abstract: Provided is a process for producing fermented milk which makes it possible to effectively prevent increases in acidity in the fermented milk during transportation and storage, and also makes it possible to produce fermented milk with a good flavour. Bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria and/or a culture or fermentation product thereof are/is added to a yoghurt mix. The bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria are then killed. Lactic acid bacteria different from the bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria are then added as a starter. It is thus possible to incorporate bacteriocin in yoghurt without directly adding bacteriocin. Since the bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria are killed, intensification of the flavour of cheese, for example, can be prevented, and it is possible to produce fermented milk with a good flavour.

Abstract: A method of treating glaucoma in an eye utilizing an implanted shunt having an elastomeric plate and a non-valved elastomeric drainage tube. The plate is positioned over a sclera of the eye with an outflow end of the elastomeric drainage tube open to an outer surface of the plate. An inflow end of the drainage tube tunnels through the sclera and cornea to the anterior chamber of the eye. The drainage tube collapses upon initial insertion within an incision in the sclera and cornea, or at a kink on the outside of the incision, but has sufficient resiliency to restore its patency over time. The effect is a flow restrictor that regulates outflow from the eye until a scar tissue bleb forms around the plate of the shunt. The plate desirably has a peripheral ridge and a large number of fenestrations, and a longer suturing tab extending from one side of the plate to enhance visibility and accessibility when suturing the shunt to the sclera.

Title: Integrated touch panel for a tft display
Inventor: CHANG SHIH CHANG
IPC: G06F3/041
Filed: 2009-11-25
Abstract: This relates to displays for which the use of dual function capacitive elements does not result in any decreases of the aperture of the display. Thus, touch sensitive displays that have aperture ratios that are no worse than similar non-touch sensing displays can be manufactured. More specifically, this relates to placing touch sensing opaque elements so as to ensure that they are substantially overlapped by display related opaque elements, thus ensuring that the addition of the touch sensing elements does not substantially reduce the aperture ratio. The touch sensing display elements can be, for example, common lines that connect various capacitive elements that are configured to operate collectively as an element of the touch sensing system.
