20150035449 | DRIVER FOR ARRAYS OF LIGHTING ELEMENTS - A lighting system is disclosed comprising an excitor which drives at least one reactor. The excitor is an electrical waveform generator that creates an AC waveform at a frequency between about 50 kHz and about 100 MHz. The reactor is an under-damped resonant circuit that includes a network of lighting elements. Reactive components are distributed among the lighting elements. These reactive components can regulate the current and voltage to individual lighting elements. The drive system is particularly useful for arrays of low-voltage lighting elements such as LEDs. It is fault tolerant in that the failure of individual elements need not affect the operation of remaining elements, and elements can be added and removed without affecting the serviceability of other elements. | 02-05-2015 |

20120157474 | Methods of Identifying and Using General or Alternative Splicing Inhibitors - The present invention is based on the discovery of a cell-based system to identify novel modulators of splicing or splicing dependent processes. The cell-based system of the present invention utilizes a fast and highly sensitive reporter, that responds to defects in the splicing machinery itself and is sensitive to changes in the signals that regulate splicing dependent processes such as those that modulate the EJC, splicing-dependent export, localization or translation efficiency. The present invention further uses the cell-based screen to identify several small molecules that modulate both constitutive and alternative splicing. Accordingly, the present invention includes general or alternative splicing inhibitors identified using the assay described herein. The present invention also provides methods of treating a subject having a condition associated with aberrant target RNA expression. The present invention further details a kit that may be directed to specifically detecting a general or alternative splicing inhibitor of the invention. | 06-21-2012 |
20120322079 | METHOD FOR TESTING OR SCREENING PROTEIN SYNTHESIS INHIBITORS - This invention provides methods for screening an inhibitor of protein synthesis by measuring the level of relocalization of an SMN complex component from the cytoplasm to the nucleus.

20100306017 | CREATING, CONFIRMING, AND MANAGING EMPLOYEE SCHEDULES - A system and method for creating, confirming and managing employee schedules comprises creating a schedule having time slots comprising shifts having employees, publishing the schedule on a network to the employees, and receiving a response of a confirmation, a request for shift change, and a null response from each employee. For each employee, if a null response is received, a reminder is sent. If request for shift change is received, an alert is sent to eligible employees using a preferred communication mode, and if one of the eligible employees responds, the shift change may be confirmed automatically or with manager approval. If approved, the employee requesting the change and the eligible employee are notified of the change; if not approved, both employees are notified of the lack of change. The schedule can be published using an employee's preferred communication mode. All steps contain implications for the system's three-step color-coding schema. | 12-02-2010 |

20080314228 | Interactive tool and appertaining method for creating a graphical music display - The invention provides apparatus and a method for creating a visual representation of music that conveys the musical form, structure, event surface, orchestration, and sonic framework of the piece being visualized. The representation comprises visual characters/sprites that move in time according to instructions from the metadata synchronized to the actual musical recording. These characters accurately portray the rhythm, pitch, and timbre of the individual elements in the musical surface (individual lines or performers) and have a hierarchy of representation, e.g. thematic elements that are divided into sub-elements (gestures or phrases) that are further divided into individual notes. The visual representation corresponds to the structure of the music as heard, where simultaneous harmonic events are parsed into individual notes which are then tied together into a rhythmic stream of linked events. Two streams of data (the “musical” and the “sonic”) are synchronized to the musical piece to drive the visualization. | 12-25-2008 |
