20110123293 | NUT AND BOLT COVER - A nut and bolt cover apparatus is preferably made from three pieces. A cover piece may be placed over a nut and may have an adapter piece placed over the cover. An exterior cover may be releasably attached to the adapter piece and may squeeze a portion of the adapter piece as the exterior cover is releasably attached to the adapter. Squeezing the adapter piece preferably compresses the cover piece and causes the cover piece to grip the nut of a nut and bolt assembly while the adapter piece grips the cover piece. Removing the exterior cover may relieve the compression forces causing the adapter piece to grip the cover piece and the cover piece to grip a nut, thus permitting the nut and bolt cover apparatus to be removed. | 05-26-2011 |

20120015438 | Mammallian cell culture process for protein production - The present invention describes methods and processes for the production of proteins, particularly glycoproteins, by animal cell or mammalian cell culture, preferably, but not limited to, fed-batch cell cultures. In one aspect, the methods comprise at least two temperature shifts performed during the culturing period, in which the temperature is lower at the end of the culturing period than at the time of initial cell culture. Throughout their duration, the culturing processes of the invention involving two or more downward shifts in temperature sustain a high viability of the cultured cells, and can yield an increased end titer of protein product, and a high quality of protein product, as determined, e.g., by sialic acid content of the produced protein. In another aspect, the methods comprise the delayed addition of polyanionic compound during the culturing period. The delayed addition of polyanionic compound sustains a high viability of the cultured cells, and can extend the growth phase, delay the onset of the death phase, and arrest the death phase. | 01-19-2012 |

20140136738 | EMULATED LEGACY BUS OPERATION OVER A BIT-SERIAL BUS - Legacy bus operations, such as x86 I/O instructions having an address space separate from memory address space, are supported in a system in which I/O devices are coupled to a microcontroller connected via an SPI bus or other bit-serial bus. Each legacy bus operation is recognized and trapped by an interface controller, such as a south-bridge controller, which maps the trapped legacy bus operation into a corresponding bit-serial bus transaction, and transacts this corresponding bit-serial bus transaction on the bit-serial bus. Existing software infrastructure using x86 I/O instructions can remain intact, with I/O transactions bound for the SPI bus. | 05-15-2014 |
