Disclosed are methods and systems for providing cloud services to personal computing devices that store large personal files such as personal videos and personal photographs in a lossless format. The methods and systems include a cloud server that synchronizes a menu of the file system between local computing devices.

Methods for synchronizing files in a cloud network

Methods for accurately comparing the levels of ionizable lipids in two cell populations that differ in some respect from each other using mass spectroscopy and isotopic labeling are provided. The methods can be used to identify a change in a lipid of interest in response to a cellular, chemical, genetic, or environmental change to the cell population (i.e., a lipid response to a cell perturbation). The change in the lipid of interest can be a change in composition, rate of synthesis, and/or location of the lipid.

Methods for analyzing lipids and membrane proteins in biological matter using stable isotopes and mass spectrometry

A computer implemented method includes providing a social network database including social network data generated by social network users. The social network data is analyzed to identify participles and the identified participles are used to provide the social network users search results.

Computing device for performing search queries using private social network data

A computing system for sharing a cloud data file using a social network is disclosed. The system includes a social network server and a cloud server. The cloud server syncs data files between a plurality of computing devices associated with cloud user accounts. The system also includes computer executable instructions that when executed perform the method including providing to a social network user a selectable link in the social network, the selectable link associated with a particular data file stored on at least two of the plurality of computing devices in the cloud network, wherein the particular data file is synced between the at least two computing devices by the cloud server; and upon selection of the link by the social network user, causing the particular data file to be transferred to an additional computing device.

Methods for enhancing search results includes providing a search result including a plurality of search result items and posting the search result items or a link thereto to a social network cite.

Methods for enhancing search using a social network

A computer implemented method includes providing an operating system for controlling electronic desktops displayed on multiple monitors. The methods include providing a plurality of electronic desktops for a first monitor and a different plurality of electronic desktops for a second monitor and allowing independent switching of desktops on the first and second monitors. The methods also include moving electronic desktops between monitors.

Switching between electronic desktops on multiple displays

Disclosed are methods and systems for providing cloud services to personal computing devices that store large personal files such as personal videos and personal photographs in a lossless format. The methods and systems include a cloud server that synchronizes large personal files in a lossless format between first and second local computing devices. The cloud server may also store the personal large files in a lossy format on the cloud server. The lossy file can be used to facilitate syncing of the lossless file between a first and second local computing device. The lossy file stored on the cloud can also be provided to a third local computing device having limited capabilities (e.g., a mobile device with a limited internet connection or limited screen resolution).

Methods for synchronizing large files with a cloud network

A computer implemented method includes receiving from a search request user an activity keyword for performing a keyword search. An advertisement is sent to the search request user where the advertisement is selected by identifying a location associated with the keyword and basing the selection of the advertisement at least in part on the location.

Providing an advertisement associated with a keyword search for an activity of interest

A method for identifying molecules that selectively bind to a lipid binding site of a native integral membrane bound protein, includes (i) providing a solubilized integral membrane protein in a detergent micelle and having a native folding conformation; (ii) providing a soluble lipid analog that binds to the integral membrane protein at the native lipid binding site and causes a change in fluorescence of a fluorophore when bound as compared to unbound; and (iii) screening the solubilized integral membrane protein for binding to a plurality of compounds.

Methods for identifying molecules that modulate lipid binding sites of ion channels

A method for searching a database that includes private network data includes providing one or more databases including a plurality of database entries, a first portion of the database entries including private social network data and a second portion including non-social network data that is publicly accessible on the World Wide Web. The method further includes receiving a keyword search request from a search request user and searching the one or more databases or a keyword index thereof using one or more keywords and ranking the search result items according to relevancy. The method also includes displaying at least a portion of the search results items as a selectable link where a first portion of the selectable links are to private network data and a second portion of the links are to public, non-social network data.

Methods for searching private social network data

A method for generating a database of activities associated with places of interests having names that are non-descriptive of the activity includes, providing a social network that includes a plurality of unique users, each user having a social network user account; providing a social network user interface for creating a place of interest entry, wherein the user input interface requests from the social network user an activity that can be performed at the place of interest; for each of the plurality of unique users creating a plurality of places of interest entries by (i) obtaining a location of the place of interest having a name or type of a place of interest (POI) associated therewith; and (ii) receiving from the particular user, an activity that can be performed at the place of interest, wherein the name or type of the place of interest is non-descriptive of the activity that can be performed at the place of interest. In addition, the method includes, for each of the place of interest entries, storing the location, the activity, and optionally the name or type of the POI in a relational database.

Activity-based place-of-interest database

A method for searching a database that includes private social network data includes providing one or more databases including a plurality of database entries, a first portion of the database entries including private social network data and a second portion including non-social network data that is publicly accessible on the World Wide Web. The method further includes receiving a keyword search request from a search request user and searching the one or more databases or a keyword index thereof using one or more keywords and determining a hierarchy for search result items. The method also includes displaying at least a portion of search results items according to the hierarchy. And, determining whether the user has access rights to a particular subset of the private social network data and wherein if the user has access rights to the particular subset of private social network data, using at least a portion of the particular subset of social network data in the step of (i) searching the one or more databases, (ii) determining the hierarchy, and/or (iii) displaying the search result items.

Fluorescence based screening assays are provided that allow for the for identification of agents that selectively bind to a ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) such as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Also provided are methods for identifying agents that selectively bind to a neuronal-type nAChR by detecting binding of the agent to anAChBP, which is representative of a neuronal-type nAChR. In addition, compositions and kits for performing such methods are provided.
