20090024058 | Device for Sampling Oral Fluid - A device for the collection of oral fluid from a subject's oral cavity may include a sample-collecting mouthpiece and a one-way valve. The mouthpiece may include a collecting chamber, introducible into the oral cavity of the subject for collecting oral fluid, and a resiliently deformable wall section defining at least part of the collecting chamber such that compression of the resiliently deformable wall forcibly expels a collected fluid from the collecting chamber via a collecting chamber outlet. The one-way valve may be in fluid communication with the collecting chamber outlet and may allow fluid to be displaced from the device following compression of the resiliently deformable wall but prevents ambient air flowing back through the valve into the device. | 01-22-2009 |

20150347480 | Process and Framework For Facilitating Data Sharing Using a Distributed Hypergraph - A knowledge model “overlay” for organizing and analyzing large, dynamic data volumes is implemented as a hypergraph that manifests as a result of a distributed theory-driven data source transformation process. This process maps exponentially growing data into an asymptotically limited information space. Within this space, real-world entities (e.g. people, computers, cities, Earth) and their complex interdependencies (e.g. social networks, connectivity, causal relationships) are represented as attributed hypergraph elements (i.e. both hypervertices and hyperedges). Attributes are represented as state vectors affixed to any hypergraph element. Transformation of source system data into this overlay structure is accomplished with minimal data movement and replication using a universal “pointer” like mechanism that is managed in a decentralized fashion by the respective transformation components. Access to the knowledge overlay is performed via a hypergraph communication protocol encapsulated within a common hypergraph API and accompanying hypergraph toolkit. | 12-03-2015 |

20150279945 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES WITH IMPROVED RELIABILITY AND OPERATING LIFE AND METHODS OF MANUFACTUIRNG THE SAME - Methods for manufacturing semiconductor wafer structures are described which exhibit improved lifetime and reliability. The methods comprise transferring an active semiconductor layer structure from a native non-lattice-matched semiconductor growth substrate to a working substrate, wherein strain-matching layers, and optionally a portion of the active semiconductor layer structure, are removed. In certain embodiment, the process of attaching the active semiconductor layer structure to the working substrate includes annealing at an elevated temperature for a specified time. The methods as described herein can be used to fabricate working semiconductor wafer structures which have a low concentration of dislocation defects throughout the active semiconductor layer structure and which do not comprise highly dislocated strain-matching layers which are present in the native semiconductor growth substrate | 10-01-2015 |

20140273115 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING METABOLITE PRODUCTION IN A MICROBIAL FERMENTATION - A method is provided for controlling a metabolic profile of an anaerobic microbial fermentation culture. In particular, a metabolic profile of a fermentation process is controlled by controlling the amount of dissolved CO2 provided to a culture. Further provided is a method of producing one or more products by microbial fermentation of a gaseous substrate through feeding tail gas CO2 from a reactor to a second reactor, or by recycling tail gas CO2 to the same reactor. | 09-18-2014 |
20150337341 | FERMENTATION PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION AND CONTROL OF PYRUVATE-DERIVED PRODUCTS - A process for producing and controlling pyruvate derived products during the fermentation of a CO containing substrate by an acetogenic carboxydotrophic microorganism has been developed. The process involves increasing the concentration of at least one nutrient selected from the group consisting of vitamin B1, vitamin B5, vitamin B7 and mixtures thereof above the cellular requirement of the microorganism. When the concentration is increased, the production of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) increases whereas the production of the other metabolites is virtually unchanged. The effect is reversible so that when the concentration is decreased, the production of 2,3-BDO is also decreased. This allows one to control the ratio of ethanol:2,3-BDO to a desired value which can vary from about 4:1 to about 1:2. | 11-26-2015 |
