| 20100029553 | Microfluidic Device for Controlled Aggregation of Spider Silk - The present invention is directed to a device and method of controlling the phase separation of one or a mixture of two or more spider silk proteins, leading to the defined and controllable assembly of the said silk protein(s) to defined morphologies, such as spheres, nano fibrils, threads, etc. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20080288913 | Software Cinema - The invention comprises a system and method for employing video in development processes. A new theory of operation for mapping video to formal models is disclosed. The present invention combines a runtime component and an object memory with an transformer component and offers several inputs and outputs. At least one capture device allows input of video. Video is structurally decomposed into shots and annotated following a semiology-based video model and stored in object memory. A runtime component determines the shots that are played back on one or more displays. A spectator may influence the runtime component by changing its state via at least one controller. One or more downstream development processes can access the object memory to extract customary models for requirements specification. The present invention can play a useful role for development teams that are distributed over large areas by providing common reference points in shots representing the application domain. Our invention thus aids in bridging the gap between envisioned reality and implemented systems. Employing video increases the buy-in of all stakeholders and offers better grounds for making design trade-offs by offering potential end-user to explore possible design alternatives during development. It is also more natural to said end-users than judging established models in format notations for requirements specification and ultimately enhances the quality of the entire development process. | 11-20-2008 |
