Abstract:

A method and apparatus for providing assistance for an application. The application runs in a web browser displayed on a display system for a client device. The application monitors for user input to the web browser. When assistance is needed for a location in the web page, the location is identified based on the user input. A graphical element with a portion of the web page at the location is generated. A group of audio files on how to use the application at the location is identified. The graphical element with the portion of the web page at the location is displayed on the display system. The audio files are played on the client device while the graphical element with the portion of the web page at the location of the web page is displayed. The audio files and the graphical element provide the assistance.

Abstract:

A computer network including a server computer, a first computer implementing a first software tool having a first function and a second software tool having a second function, and a second computer implementing the first software tool and the second software tool. The server computer is configured to gather first data regarding use of the first software tool; gather second data regarding use of the second software tool; and based on the first data and the second data, link activities of the first user and the second user to a performance goal for any one of the first user, the second user, a team including at least the first user or the second user, or an organization to which the first user and the second user belong. In executing the third program code, a communications link between the server computer and the first computer or the second computer is improved.

International Classification:

G06F 17/21
G06T 11/20
G06F 17/24

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for graphically displaying data is presented. A computer system selects a section from a group of sections in a circular chart for the data that is to be graphically displayed on a display system. The computer system identifies a largest size for a polygon that will fit in the section of the circular chart. The computer system also identifies text for the section. Further, the computer system displays the circular chart with the text in the section on a display system when the text fits within the polygon in the section. Graphically displaying the data with the text in the circular chart enables a desired level of comprehension of the data.

Abstract:

Described herein are methods of treating multiple sclerosis (MS), such as secondary progressive MS (SPMS), by intrathecally administering a B cell depleting agent, such as rituximab, alone or in combination with intravenous administration of a B cell depleting agent. Also described is the use of IL-12p40, CXCL13, or both as CSF biomarkers for selecting a patient with progressive MS as a candidate for treatment with an intrathecal immunomodulatory therapy, and for identifying a progressive MS patient as having meningeal inflammation. The present disclosure also describes a method of evaluating the effectiveness of a therapy for treating progressive MS by measuring the level of IL-12p40, CXCL13, or both in the CSF of the patient before and after treatment. A decrease in the level of IL-12p40, CXCL13, or both after treatment indicates the therapy is effective for treating progressive MS.
