Appl. No.:

11/091850

Inventors:

William Yanwah Lai - Bellevue WA, US
Steven M. Liffick - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 9/46
G06Q 20/00

US Classification:

718101, 719318, 709206, 705 67, 705 78

Abstract:

Systems and methods for delivering coordinated notifications to a user. Each entity that is involved in a transaction with a user generates notifications to update the user about the status of the transaction. The notifications are sent to a notification interface that is accessible by each entity. The notification interface sends the notifications to a router that delivers the notifications to the user according to user preferences, notification status, and user online status. The notifications each contain an identifier that enables them to be coordinated and delivered to the appropriate user.

Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707104100, 707100000, 707010000, 710001000

Abstract:

Filed:

Dec 3, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/959821

Inventors:

Anthony Bellezza - Cherry Hill NJ, US
William Lai - Philadelphia PA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/021

US Classification:

600485

Abstract:

Provided are methods for noninvasively assessing intracranial pressure (“ICP”) based on optic nerve sheath diameter (“ONSD”) and a blood velocity metric, such as pulsatility or resistivity index. Also provided are related devices and systems for performing the claimed methods.

US Patent:

Filed:

Dec 2, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/309920

Inventors:

Terry A.A. Fuller - Rydal PA, US
Anthony Bellezza - Cherry Hill NJ, US
William Lai - Philadelphia PA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600561

Abstract:

Provided are systems and methods for noninvasively assessing intracranial pressure by controllably applanating at least a portion of a subject's ocular globe so as to collapse an intraocular blood vessel and correlating the collapse pressure to intracranial pressure. Also provided are ophthalmic components useful in ophthalmic imaging applications, as well as methods of assessing intracranial pressure that are based, at least in part, on the degree of papilledema, if any, present in the subject.

Appl. No.:

13/804098

Inventors:

Terry A. Fuller - Rydal PA, US
William Lai - Philadelphia PA, US

International Classification:

A61B 5/03
A61B 5/00

US Classification:

600561

Abstract:

Provided are systems and methods for noninvasively assessing intracranial pressure by controllably osculating at least a portion of a subject's ocular globe while applying a force sufficient to collapse an intraocular blood vessel and correlating the collapse pressure to intracranial pressure. Also provided are ophthalmic components useful in ophthalmic imaging applications, such as retinal, corneal, and pupil imaging. The components may include an optical contact surface that has a radius of curvature that is greater than the radius of curvature of a subject's cornea.

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00
G06Q 30/02

Abstract:

A system, method, and computer readable medium includes obtaining activities of members of the online social networking system and social graph data of the members and computing an influence score for one of the members by combing an access to content score with an activities score. The access to content score is based on a number of social graph connections of the one of the members with other members and the activities score is based on a number of activities by the member with content items posted to the online social networking system by other members and activities by other members with content items posted by the member. A user interface displays a user interface screen to display the influence score in relation to the member and, in response to a selection, displays an influence score calculation screen including graphical illustrations of the access to content and activities scores.
