20090109016 | WIRELESS SMOKE AND FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A smoke detector system employs smoke detectors that enter a “lockout period” following receipt of an alarm signal, during which time a detector will not receive a RF alarm signal and will not transmit a RF alarm signal after a certain period of time if that detector does not detect, or no longer detects, a dangerous condition. The lockout period is of sufficient duration to prevent re-transmission of a RF alarm signal by a detector even though it may have received a RF alarm signal from another detector(s). Hence, after a short period of time, no RF alarm signals will be received or transmitted and each detector resets, unless a dangerous condition is detected. | 04-30-2009 |

Nucleic acids may be evaluated for the presence, type, or quantity of genomic instability or surrogates of dsDNA breaks such as ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), Rad3-related protein (ATR), and Tumor suppressor p53-binding protein 1 (53BP1) in gamma-H2AX foci. Nucleic acids comprising a germline nucleic acid sequence of the ERCC6, WRN, TERT, SHPRH, and FAAP100 genes may be sequenced or probed to determine if the nucleic acid sequence includes one or more alterations that cause genomic instability, dsDNA breaks, or gamma-H2AX foci or otherwise predispose a subject to develop colon cancer. | 07-09-2015 |

20080237108 | Acid mine water demineralizer - The acid mine water demineralization apparatus consists of two concentric cylinders that are divided into a total of four sections; a water chamber, a gas chamber, a reaction zone, and an aeration zone. The water chamber transports acid mine water to the inlets of a plurality of the sharp edged orifices. The gas chamber receives ozone from an external source and sends it through a porous plate into the reaction zone, thus ensuring the gas is dispersed uniformly throughout the reaction zone. Water passing through the sharp edged orifices into the reaction zone reacts with the ozone to oxidize the insoluble metals in the water. Exiting the reaction zone, the water enters into the aeration zone where additional oxygen is added to the water and the agitation of the water is calmed before it enters a settling tank. | 10-02-2008 |
