Method for screening patients to predict which patients at risk of a medical disorder, such as morbid obesity, gastrointestinal problems, or gastroesophageal problems, will be responders, and conversely, which patients will not, to achieve a favorable outcome from therapy for that disorder. This method supports an intervention strategy for patients having weight or gastrointestinal problems that will cut health costs. It enables patients and care-givers alike to more efficiently use their time, efforts and resources by enabling an early selection of an appropriate treatment modality for a given patient. Its application also extends to other implantable medical devices and therapies using them.

A method of graphical presentation of relationships with business significance between business related entities such as individuals, business entities, and activities of human endeavor. Information retrieved from databases about relationships between business related entities can be more quickly and more clearly understood if the relationships are presented graphically with a symbol for each entity and links connecting the entities where each link specifies the type of relationship, such as employee, owner, shareholder, contractors, etc. When databases are queried about a particular entity, that entity is displayed in a prominent position, such as the center of the display.

A method is disclosed for determining a sought object contour in a digital microscope image, which includes a plurality of image elements and reproduces a biological material. The method includes assigning edge values to at least a first subset of the image elements in the image; assigning values of a first gradient vector component whose values each includes a first linear combination of edge values of some surrounding image elements to at least a second subset of the image elements in the image; assigning values of a second gradient vector component whose values each include a second linear combination of edge values of some surrounding image elements to at least a third subset of the image elements in the image; and calculating an estimate of the sought object contour based upon values of the first and second gradient vector components.

The invention relates to a video communication method for dynamically changing a video code. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining an order for changing the size of a video window at a video receiving end; generating a code changing signaling according to the order for changing; transmitting the code changing signaling to a video transmitting end; and receiving and modifying the code parameters of a coder in a real-time manner by the video transmitting end according to the code changing signaling. The invention also relates to a video communication system for dynamically changing the video code. According to the method and the system provided by the invention, a signaling for noticing the change of the code parameters is transmitted to the video transmitting end instantly when the size of the video window at the video receiving end is changed. The transmitting end can adjust the code parameters of the coder according to the parameters in the signaling, and adjust the bandwidth and CPU (central processing unit) requirements of each circuit in a self-adaptive way based on the feedback of the RTCP (real time control protocol), therefore, the network bandwidth and the CPU resource can be utilized more timely, reasonably and efficiently.
