20150332571 | FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM - Detecting an extreme temperature event. A method includes collecting raw data from a high resolution sensor. The method further includes identifying in the raw collected data one or more changing data point values. The method further includes identifying, in the raw collected data that the one or more changing data point values have reached a determined threshold that indicates with a high level of probability that an extreme temperature event has occurred. Alternatively, the method may include identifying in the raw collected data a sudden extreme increase in one or more data point values that cross a threshold which indicates with a high level of probability that an extreme temperature event has occurred. As a result, the method includes issuing an alert indicating that an extreme temperature event has occurred. | 11-19-2015 |

20150142346 | EARLY POWER FAILURE DETECTION CIRCUIT - Early power failure (EPF) detection circuit applies a rectified, unfiltered periodic waveform, at the frequency of the mains supply voltage to a threshold detector. During each cycle of the periodic waveform, the threshold detector produces a pulse voltage having a leading edge when the periodic waveform begins to exceed a threshold level associated with the threshold detector and a trailing edge when the periodic waveform ceases to exceed the threshold voltage. A microprocessor measures the length of the interval between the leading and trailing edges for indirectly measuring the magnitude (for example, RMS or peak) of the mains supply voltage. When the indirectly measured magnitude decreases below a minimum permissible, second threshold magnitude, a controlled power shutdown of the apparatus is initiated, such as by, for example, programs interrupt routine in the microprocessor. | 05-21-2015 |

20110050412 | Voice activated finding device - Selected objects may be located by pushing a button on a keypad of a base unit, or by giving an oral command thereto. A receiver microprocessor, loaded with a unique electronic address, is attachable to each object. A base unit PROM is loaded with a library of digitized voice command templates. A user's command to find a lost object is received by a microphone, and digitized. The digitized command is compared with the templates using pattern recognition algorithms, which may utilize a Hidden Markov Model. When matched, the base unit processor causes radio transmission of RF interrogation packets targeted at the unique address corresponding to the lost object. A receiver chip detects the interrogation packets, and compares the transmitted unique address with the address stored in its microprocessor. Where matched, the microprocessor modulates a sounding device to direct the user to the lost object. The voice command templates can be preset for speaker independent operation or can be customizable for speaker dependent operation. | 03-03-2011 |

20110286815 | Method and apparatus for molding a high-strength non-metallic fastener having axially-aligned fibers - A method and apparatus for molding a high-strength, non-metallic fiber-reinforced threaded fastener, such as a bolt or the like. A non-metallic preform (e.g., a solid rod) having longitudinally-extending fibers running therethrough is located in a mold. A mold insert is positioned at the top of the mold, and a penetrator having a pointed tip is located at the bottom of the mold. Upper and lower press plates are closed against the mold insert and the penetrator. Accordingly, the upper press plate moves the mold insert against the top of the preform in the mold to form the bolt head. The lower press plate moves the penetrator against the bottom of the preform, whereby the penetrator is embedded therewithin. By virtue of the embedded preform, the molded fastener will have axially-extending fibers which are compressed into the threads and run in substantially parallel alignment to better resist failure under load conditions. | 11-24-2011 |

20090104221 | RAPID GENERATION OF T CELL-INDEPENDENT ANTIBODY RESPONSES TO T CELL-DEPENDENT ANTIGENS - The present invention comprises the use of follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) or FDC-like cells to generate FDC-dependent, but T cell-independent, B cell responses to T cell-dependent antigens, with antigen-specific and polyclonal antibody production in ˜48 h. In another embodiment, a germinal center (GC) lymphoid tissue equivalent (LTE) was used to generate antigen-specific IgM, followed by switching to IgG. The GC LTE model can be used in vaccine assessment. Dual forms of immunogen were used in the GC LTE and in vivo. Dual immunogens resulted in rapid, specific IgM responses and enhanced IgG responses. This vaccine design approach can be used, for example, to provide rapid IgM protection (˜24-48 h) and high-affinity IgG more quickly in people moving to areas with endemic disease, or in people with T cell insufficiencies, who can be immunized to rapidly generate protective IgM. | 04-23-2009 |
20090325148 | Bead Array Reader Based-Hemagglutination and Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay - Hemagglutination assays and hemagglutination inhibition assays were introduced in medical and virology practice more than 60 years ago. Since then, these assays have become important tools for measuring concentrations and strengths of viral cultures, the efficacy of the anti-viral immunization, and for studying the neutralizing capacity of virus-specific antibodies. The present invention comprises an improved hemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI), with at least about a 10-fold increase in sensitivity versus the traditional the HAI, to provide more accurate measurements of components in, for example, fluids from the in vitro MIMIC® system when assessing the effects of anti-viral vaccines (e.g., for seasonal influenza). | 12-31-2009 |
20100120020 | FLUORESCENT NEUTRALIZATION AND ADHERENCE INHIBITION ASSAYS - The present invention comprises rugged, inexpensive, reliable, and sensitive laboratory assays of antibody-based viral neutralization activity and antibody-based viral adherence inhibition activity. The assays use inactivated, fluorescently-labeled virus, allowing the tests to be performed without extensive safety precautions. The interaction of the labeled virus with target cells is monitored using flow cytometric methods. A preferred embodiment uses simple and inexpensive flow cytometry methodologies and equipment, such as bead array readers used as simplified flow cytometers. The assays are rapid, taking no longer than a few hours and are readily conducted by a trained technician. The assays are sensitive because they use labeled viruses at low concentrations and determine neutralizing and blocking capacity of sera and antibody at low concentrations. The methods are appropriate for high-throughput screening of large panels of samples. | 05-13-2010 |
20110097705 | Surface-assisted hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition assays - Hemagglutination (HA) and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) functional assays remain important instruments of analysis of virus-cell interaction and protecting efficacy of virus-specific antibodies and sera. However, they demonstrate limited sensitivity towards many viruses, and require significant volumes of viruses, erythrocytes, sera, and antibodies. The present invention comprises new and significantly more sensitive versions of the HA and HAI assays based on observing agglutination on activated surfaces of specifically opsonized plates and ELISA plates rather than in solution. A version of the new assay that uses ELISA plates additionally allows characterizing the affinity of functional antibodies in the tested sera and fluids, which is not possible in the classical HAI assay. The methods of the present invention can also be used to improve the sensitivity of agglutination methods based on latex beads and to develop agglutination methods using target cells other than erythrocytes. | 04-28-2011 |
