20090311216 | RECOMBINANT INTERFERON-BETA WITH ENHANCED BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY - Human interferon-β protein analogs in which the asparagine at position 25, numbered in accordance with native human interferon-β, is recombinantly replaced with an aspartate residue exhibit a biological activity of human interferon-β (e.g. IFN-β 1b) at an increased level relative to IFN-β 1b. These analogs are obtained by introducing a gene coding for Asp25 IFN-β into a cell and expressing the recombinant protein. The resulting IFN-β protein analog is suitable for large scale manufacturing for incorporation in HA-containing or HA-free therapeutics for treatment of diseases including multiple sclerosis. A reduced Lys endoproteinase-C peptide map technique that produces a fingerprint profile for proteins using an enzymatic digest followed by RP-HPLC is also useful in quality control as an ID test for the IFN-β protein analog products. | 12-17-2009 |

20080243444 | Method of predicting and communicating the performance of an installed building component based on the transient hygrothermal behavior of the component - A method of predicting and communicating transient hygrothermal behavior of an installed building component in a building wherein an interior environment of the building is materially affected by an environment exterior of the building, includes: defining a performance characteristic of the building component that is affected by transient hygrothermal behavior of the building component; defining exterior and interior climatic factors that affect the defined performance characteristic wherein the interior climatic factors are a function of the exterior climatic factors; and defining one or more non-climatic factors that affect the defined performance characteristic. Inputting these factors into a transient hygrothermal simulation software program to create a software model for performing simulations which predict changes in the defined performance characteristic, as a function of time, that are compared with a threshold performance characteristic value, to provide a user guide. | 10-02-2008 |

20110224844 | Close-Spaced Leader-Follower Navigation Using Control Mimic - A method is provided for automatically controlling a first vehicle (follower vehicle) that is to follow a second vehicle (leader vehicle) in a desired manner with respect to movement of the second vehicle. In the follower vehicle, bearing and acceleration control inputs are generated based on data representing bearing and acceleration control inputs made at the leader vehicle and a position of the follower vehicle relative to the leader vehicle so as to mimic in the follower vehicle the bearing and acceleration control inputs made in the leader vehicle. Adjustments may be made to the control inputs applied in the follower vehicle based on deviation between the velocity of the follower vehicle and velocity of the leader velocity, and on deviation between estimated (actual) follow distance and lateral offset and target follow distance and lateral offset between the follower vehicle and the leader vehicle. | 09-15-2011 |

20140114603 | PSEUDO TESTER-PER-SITE FUNCTIONALITY ON NATIVELY TESTER-PER-PIN AUTOMATIC TEST EQUIPMENT FOR SEMICONDUCTOR TEST - A system and method for testing devices are presented. Embodiments of the present invention use a central controller to coordinate the testing of a plurality of devices under test as well as a plurality of channel circuits that are each operable to be coupled to at least one I/O pin of a device under test of the aforementioned plurality of devices under test. Also, embodiments of the present invention include a plurality of intermediate processors that are each coupled to the central controller and operable to receive and send control signals. These intermediate processors are each coupled to a different set of channel circuits of the plurality of channel circuits and are operable to execute their own instantiation of a test program that is independent of any other intermediate processor of the plurality of intermediate processors for the testing of a device under test associated therewith. | 04-24-2014 |

20110248633 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING PERIODIC VOLTAGE USING DIRECT CURRENT - Methods and apparatus for applying pulsed DC power to a plasma processing chamber are disclosed. In some implementations, frequency of the applied power is varied to achieve desired processing effects such as deposition rate, arc rate, and film characteristics. In addition, a method and apparatus are disclosed that utilize a relatively high potential during a reverse-potential portion of a particular cycle to mitigate possible nodule formation on the target. The relative durations of the reverse-potential portion, a sputtering portion, and a recovery portion of the cycle are adjustable to effectuate desired processing effects. | 10-13-2011 |
20120043890 | PROACTIVE ARC MANAGEMENT OF A PLASMA LOAD - Proactive arc management systems and methods are disclosed. In many implementations, proactive arc management is accomplished by executing an arc handling routine in response to an actual arc occurring in the plasma load and in response to proactive arc handling requests in a sampling interval. The number of proactive arc handling requests in a sampling interval is a function of a proactive arc management count that in turn is a function of actual number of arcs in a preceding sampling interval. Accordingly during a present sampling interval proactive arc management executes arc handling for actual arcs in the present sampling interval and for each count in a proactive arc management count updated as a function of the number of arcs in the immediately preceding sampling interval. | 02-23-2012 |
20120285620 | Current Threshold Response Mode for Arc Management - This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatuses for extinguishing electrical arcs in a plasma processing chamber. Once an arc is detected, the steady state voltage provided to the plasma processing chamber can be reduced, and the current being provided to the chamber decays below a steady state value as the arc is extinguished. When the current falls to or below a current threshold, the voltage can be ramped back up bringing the voltage and current back to steady state values. This technique enables power to return to a steady state level faster than traditional arc mitigation techniques. | 11-15-2012 |

20140154375 | METHODS FOR REHYDRATING TRIPE - A method for processing tripe includes refining tripe with at least one bleaching agent and at least one alkaline material to improve tripe appearance, and contacting the treated tripe with an alkaline builder at a temperature of about 110° F. to 160° F. Tripe may be rinsed with cold water before packaging. The methods of processing tripe may provide tripe with enhanced appearance appealing to consumers, while increasing margin profits to meat packing plants due to higher tripe yield and lower operation cost. | 06-05-2014 |
