20090150264 | DYNAMIC ASSET MONITORING USING AUTOMATIC UPDATING OF RULES - A novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for controlling movement of assets is provided. A method for controlling movement of assets can include reading a first information from a first electronic marker coupled to an asset and reading a second information from a second electronic marker of a transport mechanism in possession of the asset. The method can further include storing in a record the first and second information and a third information comprising a location of the asset. The method can further include retrieving at least one rule comprising at least one value and an action. The method can further include executing a statistical test on the information in the record and executing the action of the at least one rule if a result of the statistical test is outside a predefined confidence level. Information from the record is then added to the empirical data. | 06-11-2009 |
20090192923 | EFFICIENT RETRIEVAL OF RETURN ASSEMBLIES FOR OPTIMIZED PARTS FULFILLMENT - A method and apparatus for a pull back optimizer in conjunction with an inventory management system allows for efficient retrieval of return assemblies for optimized parts fulfillment. The inventory management system includes a return assembly inventory and a list of parts needed for order fulfillment. The return assembly inventory lists the part numbers and quantities of parts in each return assembly. The pull back optimizer allows a user of the inventory management system to efficiently determine the optimal return systems to pull back to production for parts fulfillment to minimize the impact on those using the return assemblies. | 07-30-2009 |

20090063305 | Method and System for Automatically Adjusting Inventory Based on Loaner Parts and Order Demands - A system for performing a part inventory analysis. In response to determining a current part inventory, current order demands on the current part inventory are determined. The current part inventory is segmented. An order demand coverage is determined for each segment of the segmented inventory based on the current order demands. A conditioned part inventory is determined based on a loaner part inventory analysis of the segmented inventory. A part purchase recommendation is calculated based on the conditioned part inventory. Then, data for the segmented inventory, the order demand coverage, the conditioned part inventory, and the part purchase recommendation are stored in a storage device. | 03-05-2009 |

20100022675 | VEGETABLE OIL-BASED COATING AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION - A method for manufacturing a carpet material that typically includes applying a coating to a substrate where the coating includes the reaction product of a B-side that includes an esterified vegetable oil-based polyol and a catalyst and an A-side that includes an isocyanate and the reaction product of a B-side that includes a vegetable oil-based polyol and a catalyst and an A-side that includes an isocyanate. The polyols may optionally be blown, oxylated, and/or neutralized. | 01-28-2010 |
20120064244 | VEGETABLE OIL-BASED COATING AND METHOD FOR APPLICATION - A method of applying a urethane material to a vehicle substrate that includes the steps of: providing a vehicle substrate; and applying a urethane material to the vehicle substrate where the urethane material typically includes the reaction product of an A-side that includes an isocyanate and a B-side that typically includes a blown soy oil, at least one polyol at least partially derived from petroleum, and a cross-linker. A vehicle composite that typically includes the vehicle substrate and the urethane material. | 03-15-2012 |

20120308990 | Rapid Thermocycler System for Rapid Amplification of Nucleic Acids and Related Methods - A thermocycling device and method of operating a thermocycler instrument, the instrument including a sample holder, at least one thermal cycling element, and at least one first and second temperature sensors, for causing the sample holder containing the at least one sample to undergo polymerase chain reaction amplification by repeated cycling between at least a denaturation heating stage and an annealing cooling stage. The first temperature corresponding with the temperature of the sample holder is monitored using the at least one first temperature sensor, and a second temperature corresponding with the temperature external of the sample holder is monitored using the at least one second temperature sensor. Based upon the first temperature and the second temperature, the power that is delivered to the at least one thermal cycling element of the instrument is dynamically controlled. | 12-06-2012 |
20140045250 | REAL-TIME OPTICAL SYSTEM FOR POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION - An improved device and system for facilitating polymerase chain reaction including a light source, detector, waveguide, and filters that occupy minimal space and facilitate reduced sample read time and rapid reading of multiple light wavelengths. | 02-13-2014 |

20110053208 | BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM - The present invention contemplates a handling device for a biological specimen. The handling device includes a substrate with at least one crease that divides the substrate into a handle portion and a receiving portion that includes an aperture having a perimeter that is configured so that it receives a container having a cover that includes a biological specimen for testing, while resisting pull-through of the container relative to the substrate. | 03-03-2011 |
20120269703 | Sample Tube Having Particular Utility For Nucleic Acid Amplification - An improved tube including a closure portion, a strap integrally connected to the closure portion and being configured for defining a living hinge, a body portion having a longitudinal axis and an outer wall generally circumscribing the longitudinal axis, and being integrally and hingedly connected with the closure portion by way of the strap. The body portion including a sample portion being generally elongated along the longitudinal axis and being configured for elastic deformation along a portion of its length, including in a direction that is generally transverse to the longitudinal axis so that at least a portion of the wall structure compressively and resiliently deforms and engages a wall defining an opening in a sample block of a polymerase chain reaction amplification device, and the first outer wall dimension of the sample portion reduces to a smaller second outer wall dimension. | 10-25-2012 |
