摘要:
For an online community advocacy management platform, techniques (APIs) are described for pulling comments in from the app/plug-in, and cross-pollinating the social online community (e.g., social network website “walls”) and app/plug-in content in an intelligent manner (which content, how often, etc.).
摘要:
For an online community advocacy management platform, the techniques herein intelligently provide mechanisms and user interfaces for filtering (triaging) the view of comments and content based on advocate levels, trend rates, consumer participation, hot topics, recent activity, etc. by gauging the likelihood of user-generated actions to cause future influence based on their algorithmic similarities to historically influential actions, and weighted based on an aggregate, compounding history of individuals throughout time.

Systems are shown herein for use in stringed musical instruments for producing digital frequency and volume data. A finger contact sensor system detects the location of one or more fingers or objects at selected locations on a finger board of the instrument. Further string movement sensor systems determine if one or more strings are being played. A control system processes information from the finger contacting and string movement sensor systems to generate a digital signal containing the frequency data corresponding to the finger contacting point on the finger board and volume data corresponding to the sensed movement of a corresponding string.

An embodiment is directed to a marketing method that includes analyzing a customer contact database to identify action contacts. A marketing plan is generated for the action contacts. The marketing plan including a proposed action for each action contact. User interface content having controls for implementing the marketing plan is communicated. Selections entered using the user interface content are received and analyzed to identify marketing actions selected to be implemented. Marketing jobs are assembled for the selected marketing actions. Each marketing job is communicated to a fulfillment vendor.

A method to substantially eliminate carry-over contamination due to electrical contacts in a device, wherein the electrical contacts are in contact with one or more macromolecules during a procedure and wherein an amount of said one or more macromolecules remains on said electrical contacts after contact is completed, the method comprising heating said electrical contacts and/or said amount of one or more macromolecules remaining on said electrical contacts such that said one or more macromolecules remaining thereon are rendered substantially unable to interact with macromolecules of subsequent procedures and are rendered substantially unable to adversely participate in reactions of subsequent procedures in which said electrical contacts later are used.

Methods and apparatus for delivering and installing a new length of tubing between two sections of a patient's existing body organ tubing and at least partly outside of that existing structure. For example, the new length of tubing may be for the purpose of providing the patient with a coronary bypass. The new tubing may be an artificial graft, a natural graft (harvested elsewhere from the patient), or both. The new tubing is delivered to and installed at the operative site primarily by working through the patient's existing tubular body organ structure. This avoids the need for any significant surgery on the patient. The artificial grafts may have shapes other than tubular. Certain procedural and apparatus aspects of the invention have uses other than in connection with grafting in general or tubular grafting in particular.

The present invention seeks to provide an implant configured to utilize at least two different scar-generating mechanisms that are generated in sequential or overlapping stages. For example, in one embodiment the present invention provides an expandable device that can be positioned at a desired target location within a patient to generate mechanical ablation damage. After a predetermined amount of mechanical ablation has occurred, additional ablation damage is generated by a different source, such as energy delivery, drug delivery, or inflammatory material delivery. In this respect, the overall ablation scarring can be better controlled by utilizing the ablation techniques that are most appropriate at specific phases of a technique or locations within a patient.

For an online community advocacy management platform, the techniques herein create “ghost profiles” of users not registered with the app/plug-in, but that are participating in the social media forum (an identification phase). In this manner, all participants may build their advocacy score regardless of the app/plug-in, which may be useful for the user if later deciding to participate officially, or else for the brand to continue to be able to monitor anonymous (yet uniquely identified) activity on an individual basis, and to identify, quantify, and foster the most valuable and influential advocates within the existing community.
摘要:
For an online community advocacy management platform, an advocacy retention score is established to foster elite advocates by providing incentives for engaging in brand-generated communications such as the creation of comments, and creating peer-to-peer and reputation-based relationships specific to the context of that brand community. Various techniques are presented to define levels and badges (milestones) to allow users to maintain an advocate reputation based on participation and community response.
