20120239923 | Wireless Activation Of IP Devices - A method of activating a wireless IP device by providing access to an installer to a customer's personal router or modem/router combination and providing access to the installer to a wireless Access Point which is supplied by the installer where the Access Point has a first slot for a default SSID2 password for a first wireless IP device and a second slot for an SSID1 password for a second wireless IP device. Connecting a first wireless IP device while in its initial or default state to the first slot where the first device and the wireless Access Point have a common default SSID2 code and factory preprogrammed public key and where, as soon as the device is powered up, the IP device immediately begins communicating through the wireless access point and the customer's router or modem/router to the internet, checking into a control server. | 09-20-2012 |
20120286946 | FULLY SUPERVISED SELF TESTING ALARM NOTIFICATION APPARATUS - A method of testing audio emergency notification apparatuses which are provide to alert occupants of a building that an emergency condition which requires action is occurring, includes activating a control panel manually or automatically to test an audio apparatus, instructing the control panel to test the audio apparatuses either one by one, sequentially or simultaneously and generating a test signal for testing the apparatuses which is sent via closed circuit or radio frequency to each audio apparatus. The test signal causes each apparatus to generate an audio signal, the level or frequency of which from each apparatus is measured with a calibrated microphone and is sent to a selected destination. | 11-15-2012 |

20100196925 | Methods for Screening Cells and Antibodies - The invention provides methods of detecting a change in cell growth patterns, methods of screening many different antibodies in one receptacle, and methods of detecting specific binding of an antibody to a protein or cell, wherein the antibody is in a mixture of many different antibodies. | 08-05-2010 |
20100231907 | Method and Apparatus for Biosensor Spectral Shift Detection - Performing high-resolution determination of the relative shift of the spectral properties of a biosensor. The shift in the resonance peak of the biosensor is indicative of the amount of material bound to the surface of the biosensor. A preferred biosensor is a Guided Mode Resonant Filter Biosensor (GMRFB). In one aspect of the invention, curve fitting is used to determine the relative location of the spectrum of the unexposed biosensor with respect to those spectra that are altered (e.g., shifted) by the presence of materials bound to the surface of the biosensor. In an alternative embodiment, the cross correlation function is used to detect spectral peak offsets between a reference spectrum and a spectrum measured from an exposed biosensor. In yet another alternative, maximal likelihood estimation techniques are used to determine the spectral shift or offs. | 09-16-2010 |
