20150336439 | UN-PARTITIONED HVAC MODULE CONTROL FOR MULTI-ZONE AND HIGH PERFORMANCE OPERATION - An automotive HVAC system includes upper and lower mode cases configured to discharge separate streams of temperature-conditioned air into front and rear passenger zones. The system separates the inlet air into separate mixing chambers, and a third stream through a heater core. Blend doors control hot and cold air streams entering their respective mixing chambers. Operation is controlled by reading requested temperature, blower rate and mode for system zone outlet, converting requests to a flowrate, calculating total flowrate as a summation of all requests, employing a math model to calculate total zonal flowrate as a summation of all zonal flowrates, calculating a blower control error as a function of the difference between total blower request and total zonal flowrate, modifying the operating state using the calculated control error, positioning and resetting the mode valves into defrost, heater and vent openings, and resetting the mode valves. | 11-26-2015 |

20150159166 | Plant drought tolerance and nitrogen use efficiency by reducing plant sensitivity to ethylene - The present disclosure provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides which are used to modify ethylene sensitivity in plants. Ethylene insensitive transgenic maize plants produce higher grain yields in water deficient and low nitrogen environments than non-transgenic plants. Through controlled expression of the transgene in desired tissues and organs, or specific plant developmental stages, the ethylene perception and signal transduction is altered to create transgenic plants which yield better under abiotic stress. | 06-11-2015 |

20120089473 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HISTORICAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT - A networked computer system is provided for collecting and displaying historical content comprising a plurality of digital objects associated with a historical period or event. The computer system is comprised of one or more networked servers for processing the historical content. The servers are configured to access a database of host historical content input by an operator and user historical content input by a user, and display the historical content. One or more software applications running on the servers facilitate collection, integration and display of historical content. The software applications provide a template accessible to a user via a computer in communication with the network. The template is configured to allow the user to input the user historical content and relate a portion of the host historical content to create a user website integrating the user historical content with a portion of the host historical content. | 04-12-2012 |

20090130004 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MULTISTAGE PROCESSING OF FLUIDIZED PARTICULATE SOLIDS - Methods and systems for continuous multistage processing of particulate solids that can control the distribution of residence times of processed particles. One disclosed method includes admitting fluidizing gas into transfer tunnels between fluidized bed vessel stages, using gas inlets located in or outputting directly into the transfer tunnel to promote flow of the fluidized solids through the transfer tunnel. A common gas distributor plate can supply gas to the stage vessels and to any transfer tunnels having gas inlets. The distributor plate can be separable from the system or openable to provide access for removal of obstructions and for maintenance. A common base plate can incorporate lower portions of the stage vessels and the sides and roofs of the transfer tunnels, the bottoms of the vessels and tunnels optionally being provided by the gas distributor plate. Some multistage systems and processing methods have from 15 to 200 or more stages. | 05-21-2009 |

20110129515 | Devices and Methods for Nerve Regeneration - The present invention is directed to a nerve regeneration conduit including a resorbable tube having a matrix therein. The matrix is characterized by substantially parallel, axially aligned pores extending the length of the matrix. The matrix is formed by the axial freezing of a slurry having little or no significant radial thermal gradient during the freezing process. The matrix is used to bridge the gap between the severed ends of a nerve and provide a scaffold for nerve regeneration. | 06-02-2011 |
