20120166941 | CONTENT PROCESSING WITH EXTENSIBILITY - A content generation system may allow for extensions that can modify or influence the content that is being generated, while allowing the extensions to run separately from the base content generator. In one example, a processing engine converts raw data into presentable content (e.g., HTML content that is visually-presentable on a high-quality web site). The processing engine may be extensible in the sense that it may allow extension components to interact with the processing engine, or to modify the output of the processing engine, in order to influence the nature of the generated content. For example, if the processing engine uses certain parameters to produce a banner, then an extension may cause the banner to be rotated, re-sized, re-colored, etc. The extension may execute in an isolated space, thereby allowing code of arbitrary provenance to execute without destabilizing the processing engine or the server on which the processing engine runs. | 06-28-2012 |

20110073572 | METHOD TO REDUCE THERMAL DEGRADATION OF ADHESIVE IN WELDBONDING - A method for weldbonding together metal sheets includes applying adhesive on the surface of a first sheet and placing a second sheet atop the first sheet. The sheets are heated at a selected location to a high temperature forming a metallic weld nugget between the first sheet and the second sheet. The adhesive may be a heat curable adhesive that is cured by the heat, or the adhesive may be heated at ambient temperatures. One or both of the sheets is then cooled in the area surrounding the selected location of heating so that the high temperature needed to created the metallic weld nugget is prevented from transferring so far beyond the selected location as to overheat the adhesive layer and thereby degrade the quality of the adhesive bond. | 03-31-2011 |

20140165672 | LOCK ASSEMBLY HAVING FIRE RESISTANT SPINDLE LINKAGE - A lock assembly includes an exterior operator assembly, an interior operator assembly, and a latch assembly. An outer spindle is operatively coupled to a latch assembly, is drivably coupled to the interior operator assembly, and has a longitudinal bore. A coupling mechanism is coupled to the outer spindle. A locking spindle assembly is rotatably received in the longitudinal bore, and is configured to selectively operate the coupling mechanism to couple the exterior operator assembly to the outer spindle upon actuation of a drive assembly. The locking spindle assembly has a fire compliant component made of a first material that melts during a fire to prevent operation of the latch assembly with the exterior operator assembly, and has a fire resistant component made of a second material and configured to block the longitudinal bore of the outer spindle to aid in preventing the spread of the fire through the door. | 06-19-2014 |

20100112722 | Immunoassays and Characterization of Biomolecular Interactions Using Self-Assembled Monolayers - The present disclosure relates to methods of characterizing protein-protein interaction or conducting immunoassays in a biological sample using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SAMDI). The biological sample may be obtained from a living subject, such as a human or animal clinical sample containing multiple unknown proteins and/or antigens. Label-free methods of identifying protein-protein interactions, antigen-antibody binding and/or diagnosing a medical condition based on analysis of a biological sample using SAMDI are also provided, as well as biochips comprising surface bound proteins and/or antibodies and methods of making these biochips. The methods and biochips are useful, for example, for identifying protein-protein binding interactions and/or conducting immunoassays in samples such as humoral fluids or other clinical samples, cell lysates, tissue lysates, tumor lysates, and samples obtained, isolated or derived from animals or plants. | 05-06-2010 |

20090260010 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE WORKSPACE RESTRICTION - The drive for multi-tasking and/or availability of numerous applications can interfere with productivity. Constant interruptions from email and real-time online communication can lead to decreased productivity. In addition, attempting to tackle a massive number of different projects with different applications can impede progress on any one of the projects. Functionality can be implemented in a workspace to focus interaction with one or more applications in the workspace. Focused interaction allows a user to limit distractions (e.g., email notifications, instant message notifications, etc) and restrict activities not related to his or her current task. | 10-15-2009 |
20090260062 | REAL-TIME ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT - Every day many people use real-time online communication applications in business communications. Although instant message communications can be sent via a secure channel, users can accidentally send instant messages to unintended recipients by typing or pasting text and images. This can lead to unintended information security failures. Implementing functionality to prioritize chat windows within a real-time online communication application reduces the likelihood of sending messages to incorrect recipients. | 10-15-2009 |
