A method and system for identifying alternate contact information of a specific type; particularly, by providing an inputted Email address in a query, one or more alternate Email addresses can be returned to the query, using an automated database. The system is queried using an entity's known Email address, which, in turn, is associated with other contact information for the entity, such as name and postal address, and the other contact information is then used to identify alternative Email addresses for the targeted entity either at the time of the query or in preparation of the database, and the alternative Email address(es) are then outputted to the requestor from the system. The method uses knowledge of contact points of different types for the same entity to identify alternate contact points of a single type, within a database of contact information.

A method and system allows a device driver to obtain the status of a device that may exhibit one of two distinct behaviors in responding to status requests that designate a plurality of event types associated with a device. Devices exhibiting the first behavior respond to the status requests by providing the status for the highest priority event type designated in the status request. Device exhibiting the second behavior respond to the status requests by providing the status for the highest priority event type that has undergone a status change. In one implementation, the device driver transmits a series of distinct status requests such that the status of all event types can be determined. In a related aspect of the invention, the device driver also analyzes the response message to determine if the device exhibits the second behavior type. When the second behavior type is detected, only a single type of status request is sent to obtain the status of all event types.

The invention relates to time-of-flight mass spectrometers for the measurement of daughter ion spectra (also called fragment ion spectra or MS/MS spectra) and corresponding measurement methods.According to the invention, the ions of an ion source are initially accelerated only to an intermediate level of energy, allowing them to decompose at that energy level by metastable decomposition or by collisionally induced fragmentation (CID). The ions are then accelerated in a second step to a high energy level. Light fragment ions gain a higher velocity than heavier fragment ions or non-decomposed parent ions. The spectrum of fragment ions can be detected separated by mass in either linear or reflector mode. An ion selector at the low energy level selects a single type of parent ion in order to avoid superpositions with fragment ions of other parent ions. A particularly preferred embodiment raises the potential of ions, for there second acceleration, during their flight through a small electrically isolated flight path chamber.

Biodegradable neurotoxin implants and methods of making and using such implants are provided. Biodegradable neurotoxin implants include a neurotoxin, a biodegradable polymer component, and an acidity regulating component. The biodegradable polymer component is effective in controlling the release of the neurotoxin from the implant when the implant is located in a patient's body. The acidity regulating component is effective in maintaining a pH of the implant in a desired range that may be effective in stabilizing the neurotoxin as the implant biodegrades when the implant is located in a patient's body. In one embodiment, an implant includes a botulinum toxin, a biodegradable polymer, and either monomers from which a biodegradable polymer is derived or oligomers including monomeric units substantially identical to a monomer from which a biodegradable polymer is derived, or a combination of such monomers and oligomers. The oligomers and biodegradable polymer may be derived from a single type of monomer. The implants disclosed herein may be administered to a human or animal patient in which a therapeutic effect is desired for prolonged periods of time.

A method and system for analyzing dynamic behavior of a computer program using user-defined classifications of an execution trace. The method comprises the step of forming a database describing the executions of the program. The database includes static information obtained from the program source, and dynamic information describing particular executions of the program. The database is structured into entities, and each of the entities is comprised of a single type of information about the program execution. Each entity is comprised of elements representing individual program elements of said single type, and each element has attributes with values describing the element. The database is augmented by classifying every element of the database as a member of zero or more user defined execution slices; and dynamic behavior of the program is analyzed using the execution slices.

Methods of organizing medical data can include hierarchically relating a single type of medical or research event to medical data generated from the single type of medical or research event in a computer database environment. Organizing the data in this way may enable a researcher to access medical data collected as part of a medical procedure performed on a large number of patients, but at different times. For example, the medical data may be viewed in a more hierarchical fashion, thereby enabling the researcher to further investigate potential relationships between other factors. Related systems, computer program products and data structures are also disclosed.

Information from multiple detectors acquiring different types of information is combined to determine one or more properties of a sample more efficiently than the properties could be determined using a single type of information from a single type of detector. In some embodiments, information is collected simultaneously from the different detectors which can greatly reduce data acquisition time. In some embodiments, information from different points on the sample are grouped based on information from one type of detector and information from the second type of detector related to these points is combined, for example, to create a single spectrum from a second detector of a region of common composition as determined by the first detector. In some embodiments, the data collection is adaptive, that is, the data is analyzed during collection to determine whether sufficient data has been collected to determine a desired property with the desired confidence.

An FPGA is laid out as a plurality of repeatable tiles, wherein the tiles are disposed in columns that extend from one side of the die to another side of the die, and wherein each column includes tiles primarily of one type. Because substantially all die area of a column is due to tiles of a single type, the width of the tiles of each column can be optimized and is largely independent of the size of the other types of tiles on the die. The confines of each type of tile can therefore be set to match the size of the circuitry of the tile. Rather than providing a ring of input/output blocks (IOBs) around the die periphery, IOB tiles are disposed in columns only. Where more than two columns worth of IOBs is required, more than two columns of IOB tiles can be provided.

Techniques for rebalancing a single type security associated with at least one of multiple investment styles within a multi-style investment account is provided. The security could be, as desired, rebalanced in only the one investment style, or in more than one of the multiple investment styles. It is determined if the security is overweighted or underweighted relative to a first target position associated with the one investment style. Then, another investment style is identified in which the security is oppositely weighted. An amount of the security is then transferred between the one investment style and the identified investment style in rebalancing the security in the one investment style.
