Title: Intelligent collections models
Inventor: SINGH INDER
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2007-12-05
Abstract: Apparatuses, computer media, and methods for analyzing credit and tax form data and determining a collections treatment type to collect revenue. A collections model is constructed to determine a collections score that is based on raw credit data and tax form data and is indicative of a debtor's propensity to pay an owed amount. The collections model includes score bands, each score band being associated with a range of credit scores. A collections score is determined from a scoring expression that is associated with a score band and that typically includes a subset of available raw credit data and tax form data. A collections treatment type is determined from a collections score. Each treatment type corresponds to a treatment action that is directed to the debtor. A collections model is constructed from historical tax data, in which score bands and scoring expressions are constructed for the collections model.

Abstract: The quality control of vaccines is an important step in the release of vaccines to patients. Problems when dealing with vaccines include stability, batch-to-batch consistency and contamination.  The invention provides a method of analyzing the composition of a protein-containing sample by electromagnetic spectroscopy, and derivatising the obtained spectrum to obtain a derivative spectrum of the sample. The derivative spectrum may optionally be compared to a reference spectrum, to assess stability, contamination etc. relative to the reference. The derivative analysis technique allows the separation and discrimination between the spectral contributions of different components, thereby allowing differences in the spectra to be assigned to particular groups of the protein, or particular contaminants etc.

Inventor: BECKER MICHAEL M
IPC: C07H21/00
Filed: 2009-05-13
Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, kits and methods for the selective hybridization and capture of a specific target nucleic acid. The specific target nucleic acid may be present in a heterogeneous mixture of nucleic acids. Selective hybridization and capture provides a target nucleic acid that is substantially free of non-target and/or contaminating nucleic acids. Target nucleic acids that have been selectively hybridized and captured using the current invention are then used in subsequent analysis, wherein the presence of non-target and/or contaminating nucleic acids that interfere with said subsequent analysis have been substantially reduced or eliminated, thereby providing improved analysis results. The invention offers the further advantage of requiring less stringent purification and/or sterility efforts than conventionally needed in order to ensure that enzymes and other reagents used in subsequent analysis, or present in the environment in which an assay is performed, are free of bacterial or other contaminating nucleic acids.

Title: Method and device for producing a cross-linkable rubber mixture
Inventor: BORKOWSKY ANNO
IPC: C08K5/00
Filed: 2009-06-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a cross-linkable rubber mixture for vehicle tires, profiles, transmission belts and other technical rubber articles, which method can be carried out in an at least semi-continuous manner.  Attempts at carrying out the conventional discontinuous methods known from the art in an at least partially continuous manner have failed due to the problem that the cross-linking agents have to be mixed with the masterbatch, also called rubber masterbatch, in a fast and homogeneous manner without the mixed product consisting of the masterbatch and the cross-linking agents heating up too much during the process. The aim of the invention therefore is to mix the masterbatch with the cross-linking agents in a reliably homogeneous manner and to minimize the mixing time. For this purpose, the cross-linking agents are not mixed before they are mixed with the masterbatch. The mixture containing the cross-linking agents is particularly first packaged in a container which is used for feeding the cross-linking agent to the masterbatch.

D'autres aspects se rapportent à des architectures d'imagerie, dans lesquelles le capteur d'images d'un téléphone mobile représente une des étapes d'une chaîne d'étapes qui agissent successivement sur des instructions/données mises en paquets, de manière à acquérir et à traiter par la suite l'imagerie. D'autres aspects se rapportent encore à la distribution de tâches de traitement entre le dispositif mobile et les ressources à distance (« le nuage »). Il est possible d'exécuter un traitement d'images élémentaire (par exemple, un simple filtrage et une simple détection de bord) sur le téléphone mobile, alors que d'autres opérations peuvent être soumises à des prestataires de service à distance. Les prestataires de service à distance peuvent être sélectionnés à l'aide de techniques telles que des enchères inversées qui permettent de mettre les prestataires en concurrence afin de traiter les tâches. Un grand nombre d'autres caractéristiques et agencements sont également détaillés dans la présente invention.
