Inventor: NISHIHARA MIZUKI
IPC: C12N5/10
Filed: 2006-03-31
Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing a human collagen molecule having substantially the same structure as that of a naturally occurring collagen molecule, which process can synthesize, in a host cell having a collagen gene introduced therein, a large amount of a human collagen protein derived from the gene introduced in a vector capable of expressing a foreign gene at a high level, and which process enables to isolate and purify the human collagen molecule in a simple manner. Also disclosed is a collagen molecule produced by the process. A collagen gene construct is introduced into a vector capable of expressing a foreign gene at a high level, and a cell capable of expressing a collagen molecule at a low level is selected from a variety of mammalian cells as a host, whereby human collagen with little contamination by host cell-derived collagen can be produced in a large amount.

Title: System and method for recommending items of interest to a user
Inventor: SLOTHOUBER LOUIS P
IPC: H04N21/482
Filed: 2006-08-21
Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for recommending items to individual users using a combination of clustering decision trees and frequency-based term mapping. The system and method of the present invention is configured to receive data based on user action, such as television remote control activity, or computer keyboard entry, and when a new item data is made available from sources such as television program guides, movie databases, deliverers of advertising data, on-line auction web sites, and electronic mail servers, the system and method analytically breaks down the new item data, compares it to ascertained attributes of item data that a user liked in the past, and produces numeric ranking of the new item data dynamically, and without subsequent user input, or data manipulation by item data deliverers, and is tailored to each individual user. A embodiment is disclosed for learning user interests based on user actions and then applying the learned knowledge to rank, recommend, and/or filter items, such as e-mail spam, based on the level of interest to a user. The embodiment may be used for automated personalized information learning, recommendation, and/or filtering systems in applications such as television programming, web-based auctions, targeted advertising, and electronic mail filtering. The embodiment may be structured to generate item descriptions, learn items of interest, learn terms that effectively describe the items, cluster similar items in a compact data structure, and then use the structure to rank new offerings. Embodiments of the present invention include, by way of non-limiting example: allowing the assignment of rank scores to candidate items so one can be recommended over another, building decision trees incrementally using unsupervised learning to cluster examples into categories automatically, consistency with "edge" (thick client) computing whereby certain data structures and most of the processing are localized to the set-top box or local PC, the ability to learn content attributes automatically on-the-fly, and the ability to store user preferences in opaque local data structures and are not easily traceable to individual users.

IPC: H04W12/10
Filed: 2007-02-09
Abstract: Techniques for concealing temporary identifiers (IDs) assigned to user equipments (UEs) by a wireless communication system are described. At a network entity, a first ID assigned to a UE and possibly a salt value are transformed, e.g., based on a hash function, to obtain a second ID for the UE.  An output message directed to the UE is generated based on an input message, the second ID, and the salt value (if present). The output message is sent via a common channel shared by the UE and other UEs. At the UE, a message is received via the common channel, and a salt value (if sent) is obtained from the received message. The first ID and the salt value are transformed to obtain the second ID, which is used to determine whether the received message is intended for the UE.
