20080299720 | STABILIZATION OF Ni MONOSILICIDE THIN FILMS IN CMOS DEVICES USING IMPLANTATION OF IONS BEFORE SILICIDATION - A method for forming a stabilized metal silicide film, e.g., contact (source/drain or gate), that does not substantially agglomerate during subsequent thermal treatments, is provided. In the present invention, ions that are capable of attaching to defects within the Si-containing layer are implanted into the Si-containing layer prior to formation of metal silicide. The implanted ions stabilize the film, because the implants were found to substantially prevent agglomeration or at least delay agglomeration to much higher temperatures than in cases in which no implants were used. | 12-04-2008 |

20080305988 | V-Like Domain Binding Molecules - The present invention relates to binding moieties comprising at least one monomeric V-like domain (VLD) derived from a non-antibody ligand, the at least one monomeric V-like domain being characterised in that at least one CDR loop structure or part thereof is modified or replaced such that the solubility of the modified VLD is improved when compared with the unmodified VLD. | 12-11-2008 |
20090311710 | MUTAGENESIS METHODS USING RIBAVIRIN AND/OR RNA REPLICASES - The use of RNA-replicases for introducing mutations into and selecting for improved RNA molecules is described. The use of ribavirin, or a derivative/analogue thereof, in methods for introducing one or more mutations during replication or transcription of a target nucleic acid molecule is also described. These methods can be used to screen for nucleic acids, or proteins encoded thereby, with altered or new activity. Also provided are kits comprising ribavirin, or a derivative/analogue thereof, for use in mutagenesis procedures. | 12-17-2009 |
20100144600 | Osteoprotegerin variant proteins - The present invention relates to novel osteoprotegerin variant proteins (OVPs) that demonstrate reduce binding affinity for their ligand TRAIL when compared to wild-type osteoprotegerin. Nucleic acids which encode these OVPs are also provided. Recombinant vectors and host cells expressing these OVPs are also encompassed as are methods of producing recombinant OVPs. The present invention also relates to compositions comprising these OVPs, and to methods of treating bone diseases characterised by increased bone turnover and/or loss. The OVPs of the invention are useful for preventing bone resorption and may be used to treat any condition resulting in abnormal bone turnover or bone loss such as osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, Paget's disease of bone, multiple myeloma, bone cancer and bone loss due to rheumatoid arthritis or osteomyelitis, and the like. | 06-10-2010 |

20130247446 | FISHING LURE - A fishing lure which includes a body and an eye for attaching a fishing line thereto. The eye is attached to the body. A hook is pivotally attached to the body and normally biased in a retracted position, the hook has a fully exposed hook end. In the retracted position when the line is oriented substantially along a vertical direction the hook shank is oriented substantially along a horizontal direction. The hook is capable of pivoting between a retracted position and a fully extended position. | 09-26-2013 |

20100300162 | Remote control cam locking system - A remote control locking system employs a remote transmitter which sends a signal to a message control module/signal receiver. This signal is ultimately forwarded to a cam control unit which positions a cam member to lock and unlock a door, using an internal latching system. The cam control unit has a motor which, through appropriate gear mechanism, rotates a drive shaft to control the position of the cam member for locking and unlocking the door. The message control module/receiver, cam control unit, and attendant components can be self-contained units, each unit configured for use on individual cam controlled doors. The system can be installed as original equipment on vehicles, but also is readily adaptable to retrofitting existing vehicles which do not have remote locking capability. The system is most beneficially provided for use on trucks and similar work vehicles with multiple compartments and their respective doors, which need to be locked and locked quickly to protect property within the compartments. | 12-02-2010 |

20150052616 | PROTECTED MODE FOR SECURING COMPUTING DEVICES - Methods and systems are disclosed for testing and/or validating that an untrusted device is operating according to an expected state or configuration. The methods and systems may be designed such that the volatile memory of the untrusted device is brought to a known state for validation, for example upon ingress to or egress from a protected mode of operation. The device may execute a first operating system when operating outside of the protected mode. Upon determining to transition to protected mode, an operational image of a second operating system may be loaded into the device. The device may write a pattern to unused memory for validation. The device may receive a first challenge request from a trusted monitor (TM). In order to be successfully validated, the device may answer the challenge correctly within a given response window based on the current state of its volatile memory. | 02-19-2015 |

20090160425 | Multi-Test Circuit Interrupter Tester - A testing system includes a hand-held transmitter that plugs into a receptacle electrically coupled to a selected branch circuit. The transmitter includes a circuit effective to test an arc fault circuit interrupter electrically coupled to the branch circuit by creating a first pulse on the branch circuit that is effective to trip the arc fault circuit interrupter. The transmitter can perform at least one additional test including: determining whether the receptacle is wired properly; determining a location of a circuit interrupting device electrically coupled to the branch circuit by creating a second pulse on the branch circuit that can be sensed by a receiver located proximately to the respective circuit interrupting device and broadly tuned about a frequency of the second pulse; and testing a ground fault circuit interrupter electrically coupled to the branch circuit by creating a third pulse on the branch circuit that is effective to trip the ground fault circuit interrupter. | 06-25-2009 |
