Title: Systems and methods for predicting the efficacy of a marketing message
Inventor: LENON MAGRACIA BERNARDINO
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting the efficacy of a marketing message to generate word of mouth (WOM) are disclosed. A prediction server may generate and distribute surveys to a subset of a target market group. The prediction server may then analyze the survey responses and compare the responses to past responses for marketing messages in similar product or service categories. One or more scores relating to the message's ability to generate WOM may then be computed. These scores may reflect purchase intent, message advocacy, and message amplification of the marketing message. The marketing message may then be refined based on the value of the one or more scores. The prediction server may also access in-market data in order to project volume build or equity build of a promotional item associated with the marketing message.

IPC: G21B3/00
Filed: 2006-03-17
Abstract: Methods for low-temperature fusion are disclosed. In one embodiment, a symmetrical crystal lattice including a plurality of deuterons either absorbed or embedded in a heavy-electron material is selected. The method provides alternatives for initiating a vibration mode involving the deuterons on the crystal lattice that induces them to converge. The oscillating convergence of the deuterons is enhanced by the charge screening effect of electrons. The electron screening effect is in turn enhanced by the high effective-mass associated with the selected materials. The vibration modes are excited, for example, by applying an electrical stress, a uniform magnetic field, mechanical stress, non-uniform stress, acoustic waves, the de Haas van Alphen effect, electrical resistivity, infrared optical radiation, Raman scattering, or any combination thereof to the crystal lattice.

Abstract: It has now been discovered that a high therapeutic effect in treating various disorders associated with enhanced activity of kinase p38 may be achieved by using a potent p38 kinase inhibitor compound which also has inhibitory activity against p38. Furthermore, reducing the activities of both kinase p38 and kinase p38 without reducing the activity of a kinase p38 to such an extent that undesired side effects are observed upon administration to a subject having a disorder associated with enhanced activity of kinase p38 has been discovered to be achievable by modifying inhibitors of p38 such that the modification engenders inhibitory activity against p38. Described are compounds with activity against p38 and p38. Disclosed are methods of using described compounds and compositions to modulate a stress activated protein kinase (SAPK) system with an active compound, wherein the active compound exhibits inhibition of the p38 and p38 MAPKs.
