Appl. No.:

09/906893

Inventors:

David Reiner - Lexington MA, US
Ming Tan - Newton MA, US
Panagiotis Ventikos - Purcellville VA, US
Eric Richard - Cambridge MA, US

Assignee:

NetGenesis Corporation - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709217, 707 10, 707 7

Abstract:

A method for logical view visualization of user behavior in a networked computer environment that includes sites that a user may visit and wherein the sites comprise pages that the user may view and/or resources that the user may request includes the step of collecting raw data representing user behavior which can include requesting resources, viewing pages and visiting sites by the user. This raw data is then refined or pre-processed into page views and visit data and stored in a data mart. Pages are clustered into super pages, and page to super page mappings reflecting the relationship between pages and super pages are stored in the data mart. An automated clustering means is applied to the page view, visit and super page data in the data mart to discover clusters of visits to define super visits having visit behavior characteristics. The visit data stored in the data mart is then scored against the super visit clusters to classify visits into super visits according to visit behavior characteristics. A system is also provided.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00
G06N 5/02

US Classification:

706 47

Abstract:

In one aspect, the invention relates to a method to propagate relations between a first rule set and a second rule set wherein the first and second rule sets are invoked by a common workflow model. The method includes tracing paths forward through the workflow model from the first rule set to the second rule set. Enumerating relations that extend forward from the first rule set to the second rule set is another step in the method. Additionally, using multi-valued logic, calculating the effects on the relations of control flow through the workflow model from the first rule set to the second rule set, tracing paths backward through the workflow model from the second rule set to the first rule set, enumerating relations that extend backward from the second rule set to the first rule set, and using multi-valued logic, calculating the effects on the relations of control flow backwards through the workflow model from the second rule set to the first rule set are also steps in the method.

Christian Itin - Menlo Park CA, US
Ming Tan - Danville CA, US

International Classification:

G01N033/543

US Classification:

436/518000

Abstract:

Methods and devices for the parallel, in vitro screening of biomolecular activity using miniaturized microfabricated devices are provided. The biomolecules immobilized on the surface of the devices of the present invention include proteins, polypeptides, polynucleotides, polysaccharides, phospolipids, and related unnatural polymers of biological relevance. These devices are useful drug development, functional proteomics and clinical diagnostics and are preferably used for the parallel screening of families of related proteins.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, redundancy elimination for web caching may be provided. Upon receiving a request for a content object, a determination of whether the content object is cached may be made. In response to determining that the content object is not cached, the requested content object may be retrieved and, if the content object is associated with an aggregate popularity exceeding a caching threshold, the content object may be cached before providing the requested content object.
