20100196994 | Fungi cultivation on alcohol fermentation stillage for useful products and energy savings - A method of processing stillage from fermentation derived alcohol is disclosed, including dry-grind ethanol production from corn, by fermentation with filamentous fungi. This produces high-value fungal biomass that can be recovered by screening, is easily dewatered and used as an animal feed, human food or as a source of nutraceuticals. The methodology uses an airlift reactor to enhance the morphology of the fungi for easy harvesting and separation of water for recycling and reuse and to recover added enzymes and mineral acid with the water. The process also separates oil from the stillage. The fungal processing removes organic substances from the water that are otherwise inhibitory to the reuse prospects for the water, i.e. suspended and dissolved organic matter, including glycerol, lactic and acetic acids. The process also separates oil from the stillage by enmeshing the oil in the fungal biomass and can produce more oil through cultivation of oleaginous fungi. This approach generates revenue from low value thin stillage, while substantially reducing stillage processing costs, mainly by averting the need for evaporation of the thin stillage. | 08-05-2010 |

20140236071 | LIGHT-ENABLED DRUG DELIVERY - Conjugates are provided which comprise a membrane permeable drug linked to a moiety that is not membrane permeable. Attachment of the moiety that is not membrane permeable prevents the drug from crossing cell membranes and entering cells. However, exposure to light either i) breaks the linkage, releasing the drug and allowing it to enter cells; or ii) converts the non-membrane permeable moiety to a membrane permeable form, allowing the entire conjugate to enter the cell, where the drug is released from the conjugate by cleavage. The membrane permeable drugs are thus delivered to cells at locations of interest, e.g. cancer cells in a tumor, in a temporally and spatially controlled manner. | 08-21-2014 |

A scene proxy is generated from the calibrated sensor data streams. The scene proxy geometrically describes the scene as a function of time and includes one or more types of geometric proxy data which is matched to a first set of current pipeline conditions in order to maximize the photo-realism of the free viewpoint video resulting from the scene proxy at each point in time.

Generally, the FVV is presented to the user as a broad area from some distance away. Then, as the user zooms in or changes viewpoints, one or more areas of the overall area are provided in higher definition or fidelity. Therefore, rather than capturing and providing high definition everywhere (at high computational and bandwidth costs), the Dynamic High Definition Bubble Framework captures one or more “bubbles” or volumetric regions in higher definition in locations where it is believed that the user will be most interested. This information is then provided to the client to allow individual clients to navigate and zoom different regions of the FVV during playback without losing fidelity or resolution in the zoomed areas. | 12-05-2013 |
20130321586 | CLOUD BASED FREE VIEWPOINT VIDEO STREAMING - Cloud based FVV streaming technique embodiments presented herein generally employ a cloud based FVV pipeline to create, render and transmit FVV frames depicting a captured scene as would be viewed from a current synthetic viewpoint selected by an end user and received from a client computing device. The FVV frames use a similar level of bandwidth as a conventional streaming movie would consume. To change viewpoints, a new viewpoint is sent from the client to the cloud, and a new streaming movie is initiated from the new viewpoint. Frames associated with that viewpoint are created, rendered and transmitted to the client until a new viewpoint request is received. | 12-05-2013 |

20110208065 | Optical Tomography System Using Short-Pulse Laser for Early Cancer Diagnostics - Time-resolved optical tomography systems using a short pulse laser, may be used in detection and treatment of cancer and tumors. Information is conveyed about tissue interior by the temporal variation of the observed scattered, and reflected measured when short-pulse lasers interact with scattering-absorbing media like tissue. Multiple scattering-induced temporal signature that persists for time periods greater than the duration of the source pulse and is a function of the source pulse width, the scattering and absorbing properties of the medium, and the location in the medium where the properties undergo changes. If the detection is carried out on the same short time scale (comparable to the order of the pulse width), the signal continues to be observed even for long durations after the pulse has been off due to the time taken for the photons to migrate to the detector after multiple scattering in the tissue media. | 08-25-2011 |

The modified IPTV user profiles of users in the group are placed on a network entity such as an XDM Server (XDMS), to which the ITF subscribes via XCAP. As users join or leave a shared IPTV session at an ITF, the IPTV-AS updates the IPTV user profiles on the XDMS, which notifies the ITF of the changes. Each user's IPTV user profile at the ITF thus reflects group access privileges, preferences and restrictions for the duration of the shared IPTV session. | 04-29-2010 |
