摘要： The invention provides a method of identifying a subject likely to have liver disease, or for determining the prognosis of a subject previously identified as having a liver disease comprising detecting an amount of free light chains in a sample from the subject, wherein a higher amount of FLC is associated with an increased likelihood of the subject having a liver disease or an increased likelihood of having a poor prognosis of a liver disease. Assay kits for use in such methods are also provided.

摘要： Techniques for managing process activity statistics using a system-wide daemon are described herein. A power management daemon retrieves process activity status data from a system monitoring file stored within a data processing system, in response to a request received from a session client via an application programming interface (API). The power management daemon is a single system-wide component within the data processing system to provide the process activity status data to a plurality of session clients. The retrieved process activity status data is returned to the client via the API, where the system monitoring file requires a predetermined accessing privilege for accessing. Thus, through the power management daemon, the session client does not have to satisfy the predetermined accessing privilege in order to access the process activity status data stored in the system monitoring file.

摘要翻译： 本文描述了使用系统范围的守护程序来管理进程活动统计信息的技术。 电源管理守护程序响应于通过应用程序编程接口（API）从会话客户端接收的请求，从存储在数据处理系统内的系统监视文件检索进程活动状态数据。 电源管理守护程序是数据处理系统内的单个系统范围的组件，用于向多个会话客户端提供过程活动状态数据。 检索到的进程活动状态数据通过API返回给客户端，其中系统监视文件需要预定的访问访问权限。 因此，通过电源管理守护进程，会话客户端不必满足预定的访问权限，以便访问存储在系统监视文件中的进程活动状态数据。

摘要： Management of color of image files in digital devices is described. A color management system can extract metadata from an image file based on a type of the image file. The color management system then creates a color profile based on the metadata extracted. The color management system further creates a virtual device, and assigns the color profile created to the virtual device. As such, multiple color profiles can be associated with a single physical device using the concept of virtual devices. Furthermore, the extraction of metadata and generation of color profiles can also be centralized in the color management system, which may be integrated into an operating system executable on a computing device.

摘要： A fishing lure includes a leading lure body shaped like a fish; and a trailing lure body shaped like a fish. The leading lure body includes a passage therethrough to enable a fishing line to slidably pass through the passage for connection to the trailing lure body. The trailing lure body includes a front portion and a curved front surface. The front portion of the trailing lure body is weighted such that the trailing lure body tends to sink front portion first in water. The curved front surface of the trailing fishing lure facilitates a swimming motion for the trailing lure body when the trailing lure body moves through water, and tends to lift the trailing lure body if the trailing lure body is pulled through water.

摘要： A method of locating objects in a distributed electronic environment comprising defining a plurality of object-types, which object-types are assigned a plurality of attributes, one attribute being an object-precedence attribute. A plurality of home locations for objects are defined. When a new object is instantiated, which object has associations with other objects, the new object is located at the home location of the existing object which has the highest precedence value of all the associated objects.

摘要： A fishing lure includes a lure body, a weight and fins. The lure body is shaped like a fish, and includes a top side and a bottom side. The lure body is weighted such that it is biased towards a top side down orientation if the lure is suspended in water without being pulled through water. The at least one angled surface on the body tend to propel the lure body towards a top side up orientation if the lure is pulled through water.

摘要： A method of management of concurrent sessions within a networked electronic system across multiple servers generally comprises defining a model of the system to be managed, and then defining policies, which policies are applicable to components of the model. Then, system components are modelled as entities in the model with hierarchical relationships between the entities. The entities each comprise a single physical or non-physical object in the system. The model is split into parts such that policy information for a given entity is held on a nominated server, with other servers being informed of where to find the policy information, determination of which policies to apply to a given request being made by a policy checker, which policies are then executed.

摘要： The subject invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates self-regulation of a social network system based at least in part on user behavior, and in particular on good or desirable user behavior. The system and method involve monitoring user behavior such as user activity and user interactions with other users and the network itself. Several factors can be weighed to determine whether the user behavior is good. Network assets or rights can be allocated to good users in the form of gifts or trade exchange opportunities whereas less desirable or bad users may not receive such gifts or trade opportunities or assets and rights might be revoked from them. By watching user behavior and promoting good behavior in this manner, the social network can be managed and self-regulated to optimize the utilization and distribution of both limited and unlimited assets (e.g., network created and user created assets or resources).

摘要： Non-visible objects which differ in their physical properties from their surroundings by association with a variable strength magnetic field may be detected by a suitable array of Hall effect sensors which can be moved relative to the object in question. By analysing the signals from the plurality of the sensors in the array, the position of the object can be deduced relative to the array and the array moved to enable a machining guide thereon to be aligned with the non-visible object. The system is of particular value in locating apertures (2) in wing spars (1) when attempting to fix the skin (3) of the wing on to them where it is important to be able to locate the correct point at which to drill a hole through the skin (3) to coincide with the hole (2) in the spar. By locating a magnet (4) relative to the hole to identify the hole magnetically and using an array of Hall sensors (12) in a base with an aperture (14), it is possible to shift the array (10) so that the aperture (14) is precisely aligned with the non-visible hole (2).
