摘要:
The invention provides methods of screening a mammalian subject to determine if the subject is at risk to develop or is suffering from, cardiovascular disease. In one embodiment, the method comprises detecting a measurable feature of at least two biomarkers in an HDL subfraction, or in a complex containing apoA-I or apoA-III isolated from a biological sample obtained from the subject, wherein the at least two biomarkers are selected from the group consisting of apoA-I, apoA-II, apoB-100, Lp(a), apoC-I, and apoC-III, combinations or portions and/or derivatives thereof, and comparing the measurable features of the at least two biomarkers from the biological sample to a reference standard, wherein a difference in the measurable features of the at least two biomarkers from the biological sample and the reference standard is indicative of the presence or risk of cardiovascular disease in the subject.

Methods, systems, and computer programs for generating revenue in an online game are presented. One method includes an operation for creating, in the online game, a first virtual currency and a game score, where the amount of the first virtual currency can be increased in exchange for real currency. The first virtual currency can be traded for advancement in the online game. Further, a game module, that is an autonomous game within the online game, is started, and a second virtual currency and a module score are created in the game module. The amount of the second virtual currency can be increased in exchange for real currency, where the second virtual currency can be traded for advancement in the game module and cannot be traded for advancement in the online game outside of the game module. Advancement in the game module increases the module score and does not increase the game score. In addition, at least one form of advancement in the game module can be obtained with the second virtual currency and cannot be obtained with the first virtual currency.

The invention provides methods of screening a mammalian subject to determine if the subject is at risk to develop or is suffering from, cardiovascular disease. In one embodiment, the method comprises detecting a measurable feature of at least two biomarkers in an EMT subfraction, or in a complex containing apoA-I or apoA-III isolated from a biological sample obtained from the subject, wherein the at least two biomarkers are selected from the group consisting of apoA-I, apoA-II, apoB-100, Lp(a), apoC-I, and apoC-III, combinations or portions and/or derivatives thereof, and comparing the measurable features of the at least two biomarkers from the biological sample to a reference standard, wherein a difference in the measurable features of the at least two biomarkers from the biological sample and the reference standard is indicative of the presence or risk of cardiovascular disease in the subject.

A beverage packaging unit (1) that includes an opening (8) from which the liquid contents of the unit can be drunk, wherewith said opening, or orifice (8), can be closed with the aid of an closure element (3). The invention is characterized in that the packaging unit (1) is parallelepipedic in shape including a hollow box-like body (2) and said closer element (3); in that said parallelepipedic hollow box-like body (2) has a bevelled corner at which there is formed a three-sided or triangular surface (7) that connects with said box-like body; in that there projects out from said surface (7) a tubular part (4) that includes said opening or orifice; in that said closure element (3) includes a generally pyamidal body which is shaped so that when in abutment with said bevelled corner of said box-like body (2) it forms, together with said body, said parallelepipedic packaging unit (1); in that said closure element includes a cavity (6) for receiving said tubular part (4); and in that the packaging unit includes co-acting fasteners (10) on said tubular part (4) and also in said cavity (6) for removably retaining said closure element (3) at said tubular part, so that said box-like body (2) and said closure element (3) will form a parallelepiped.

Methods and apparatuses are described to process an n-dimensional data set acquired from a measurement on a biological sample. A method includes dividing an n-dimensional data set into n-dimensional sub-regions, wherein a size of a dimension of an n-dimensional sub-region is less than a size of the dimension of the n-dimensional data set. The n-dimensional sub-regions are stored on a computer readable medium and the computer readable medium is accessible to a data processing system. The n-dimensional data set can exceed an addressable memory limit of the data processing system and mathematical operations are performed on the n-dimensional data set.

A method for performing a social project in a video game is provided. A session of the video game for a primary user is initiated, and a social project is initiated within the session of the video game. One or more secondary users are determined from a social graph of the primary user. A message requesting help to complete the social project is sent to the one or more secondary users, the message including a low-friction response mechanism. Upon activation of the low-friction response mechanism of the request, a response is received indicating an intent to help complete the social project from a responsive secondary user. Upon receiving the response, automated retrieval and animation of an avatar of the responsive secondary user is triggered within the primary user's session of the video game so as to collaborate on the social project.

Beverage package container includes an opening, which is resealable using a sealing device, where the package container is essentially or completely parallelepipedic, including a hollow, box-shaped body and the sealing device, where a corner of the parallelepipedic, hollow, box-shaped body is chamfered, at which corner a triangular surface is formed, connecting to the box-shaped body, where a tube-shaped part extends out from the surface, including the opening. The sealing device has an essentially pyramid-shaped body, designed so that it, together with the body, forms the parallelepipedic package container when it bears on the triangular surface of the box-shaped body, and a cavity for receiving the tube-shaped part, and where cooperating members are arranged, on the tube-shaped part as well as in the cavity, for removably and tight-fittingly detaining the sealing device at the tube-shaped part, so that the box-shaped body and the sealing device together form a parallelepiped.

摘要:
A beverage packaging unit that includes an opening through which a beverage can be drunk or poured, wherein the opening is sealable by a closure element. The packaging unit is parallelepipedal and includes a hollow, box-like body and the closure element. The box-like body has a bevelled corner at which there is formed a triangular surface that is connected with the body. A tubular part extends outwardly from the triangular surface and includes the opening. The closure element includes a generally pyramidal body that is so shaped that when it is in abutment with the bevelled corner of the box-like body it forms, together with the body, the parallelepipedal packaging unit.
