| 20120121645 | SUPRALINGUAL VACCINES AND APPLICATORS - Solid and semi-solid formulations are used for supralingual administration of vaccines to animals. The formulations, which comprise antigens dispersed in a solid or semi-solid matrix, or paste, are delivered via supralingual applicators. The supralingual applicators are designed so as to position the antigen-containing matrix directly on the dorsal surface of the tongue during vaccine delivery. Upon exposure to saliva and to suckling and/or licking action of the tongue, the matrix dissolves and releases antigens to the tongue. In some embodiments, the antigens are viruses, for example, attenuated viruses that are capable of infecting cells of the tongue, e.g. canine parvoviruses which infect basal tongue cells. The supralingual applicators are especially useful for the delivery of vaccines to newborn animals. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120088010 | DIRECT-FED MICROBIAL - An isolated microorganism comprising a Propionibacteria strain is described. When the microorganism is fed to a ruminant, protein and fat levels in milk produced by the ruminant are increased, while body condition and milk production levels are maintained. When fed to the ruminant, the microorganism also has positive effects on various metabolic hormones and metabolites, e.g, an increase in energy balance, plasma non-esterified fatty acids levels, and plasma leptin level. Supplementation with propionibacteria reduced dry matter intake but did not affect milk production in the cows. Therefore, the propionibacteria of the invention made the cows more energy efficient as cows produced the same amount of milk, yet consumed less dry matter. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120040410 | THERMOHEMICELLULASES FOR LIGNOCELLULOSIC DEGRADATION - Hemicellulase (xylanase) enzymes possessing endo-xylanase, laminarase, mannanase, arabinase and arabinofuranosidase activity are useful to degrade hemicellulose and other substrates to their constituent sugars. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20110183381 | THERMOCELLULASES FOR LIGNOCELLULOSIC DEGRADATION - Thermostable cellulase enzyme systems comprising at least one each of a thermostable endoglucanase, an exo-processive-endoglucanase, and a β-glucosidase carry out the complete, coordinated hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose to monomeric glucose. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110143999 | FOWLICIDINS AND METHODS OF ITS USE - Antimicrobial peptides and methods for their use are provided. The peptides are optimized, truncated versions of chicken cathelicidins (“fowlicidins”). | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110001067 | FIBER OPTIC WEB EDGE SENSOR - A web edge sensor is disclosed. The web edge sensor has a light source directing light incident to an edge of a web. The edge of the web scatters the light and a sensor array that detects a first portion of the light scattered from the edge of the web and rejects a second portion to determine a position of the web edge. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100203606 | ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL CLOSTRIDIAL SPECIES - A novel clostridia bacterial species ( | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100196420 | IMMUNOGENIC COMPOSITIONS, VACCINES AND DIAGNOSTICS BASED ON CANINE DISTEMPER VIRUSES CIRCULATING IN NORTH AMERICAN DOGS - Immunogenic compositions and broad-spectrum vaccines containing newly identified isolates of canine distemper virus (CDV) collected from a geographic area are provided. The newly identified isolates exhibit attributes of both European wildlife lineage CDV and one or both of Arctic and American-2 lineage CDV. Therefore, the vaccines are broadly protective against infection with European wildlife lineage CDV and either Arctic lineage CDV or American-2 lineage CDV, or both Arctic and American-2 lineage CDV. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100137159 | Simple Tests for Rapid Detection of Canine Parvovirus Antigen and Antibodies - Slide agglutination tests (SATs) and slide inhibition tests (SITs) provide rapid detection, quantitation and strain identification of red blood cell (RBC) agglutinating viruses such as canine parvovirus (CPV) in biological samples. The tests are rapid, low-cost, and easy to use. These tests do not require any expensive equipment and can thus be used to monitor infections and antibody titers under field conditions. The tests can be modified to detect results using fluorescence (FSAT). FSAT is useful for rapid high-throughput screening (HTS) of libraries of small molecules and/or chemical compounds to identify antiviral compounds useful for the treatment of diseases caused by emerging hemaglutinating viruses that infect animals and humans. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100037519 | DOWNDRAFT GASIFIER WITH INTERNAL CYCLONIC COMBUSTION CHAMBER - A downdraft gasifier is disclosed. The gasifier includes a biomass section that accepts and stirs raw biomass materials, a pyrolysis and tar cracking section having an inner cylinder for receiving biomass and an outer surrounding cylinder for gases from the biomass, and a char gasification section for receiving biomass and gases from the pyrolysis and tar cracking section. The char gasification section provides a grating and scraper for passing gases and ash and retaining biomass for char gasification on the grate. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20090282595 | Antiballistic Garment - An antiballistic garment for protecting a user's torso and shoulders comprises a front portion releasably coupled to a back portion, the front and back portion both include soft armor, the back portion includes shoulder and side panels which include soft armor, the front and back portion have provisions for hard armor plates. The antiballistic garment has a quick release mechanism adapted to rapidly separate the front portion from the back portion. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090136622 | Direct-Fed Microbial - An isolated microorganism comprising a Propionibacteria strain is described. When the microorganism is fed to a ruminant, protein and fat levels in milk produced by the ruminant are increased, while body condition and milk production levels are maintained. When fed to the ruminant, the microorganism also has positive effects on various metabolic hormones and metabolites, e.g, an increase in energy balance, plasma non-esterified fatty acids levels, and plasma leptin level. Supplementation with propionibacteria reduced dry matter intake but did not affect milk production in the cows. Therefore, the propionibacteria of the invention made the cows more energy efficient as cows produced the same amount of milk, yet consumed less dry matter. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090098152 | Vaccines Containing Canine Parvovirus Genetic Variants - Canine parvovirus vaccines and diagnostics and methods for their use are provided. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090087910 | PRIMER-EXTENSION BASED METHOD FOR THE GENERATION OF siRNA/miRNA EXPRESSION VECTORS - Functional shRNA is produced from an expression vector prepared by selecting a two primer design in which the primers are less than about 50 nucleotides in length, annealing and extending the primers using primer extension, digesting the primer extension product and inserting the digestion product into a suitable vector. When the shRNA vectors are inserted into a cell, shRNA transcribed from the vectors modulates gene activity within the cell. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090058427 | PASSIVE WIRELESS CORROSION SENSOR - A passive wireless corrosion sensor is disclosed. A circuit is configured to provide a signal response when energized. An antenna is configured to wirelessly receive energy for energizing the circuit and to receive the signal response from the circuit and transmit the signal response. A corrosion sensitive connector interposes the circuit and the antenna. The corrosion sensitive connector conducts the energy from the antenna to the circuit and conducts the signal response from the circuit to the antenna when in a substantially non-corroded state. The corrosion sensitive connector creates an effectively non conducting link between the antenna and the circuit when in a substantially corroded state. | 03-05-2009 |
