20140214518 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRICE MATCHING AND COMPARISON - A method and system for providing a consumer comparative pricing data from at least two merchants is discussed. In one aspect of the invention a customer of a merchant queries a database containing time and location specific pricing data for competitors of the first merchant. If the query shows that the customer could have purchased the same item or items for a lower price at a competitor, the first merchant awards the customer an on-line credit that is redeemable at the merchant. In another aspect, a consumer uploads an image of a competitor's receipt. The item specific data on the receipt is converted to UPC codes on an item by item basis. These UPC codes are then compared against the merchant's pricing database and the consumer is provided data set comparing the prices the consumer paid to the prices the consumer would have paid had the consumer shopped at the merchant. | 07-31-2014 |

20140190898 | Cactus Mucilage and Ferric Ions for the Removal of Arsenate (As(V)) from Water - Potable drinking water is plagued with widespread arsenic contamination, particularly in developing communities. Ferric ions were introduced to interact with arsenate based on the strong affinity of arsenate for ferric hydroxides, followed by mucilage addition. The mucilage coagulated and flocculated the ferric-arsenate complex and formed visible flocs that settled at the bottom of the tubes. The system showed 75-96% arsenate removal in 1 hour, while longer retention times showed 100% removal. The role of the mucilage was demonstrated by untreated solutions showing no concentration difference and remaining stable for more than 15 days. This mucilage-based technology has the potential to be a relatively inexpensive, environmentally sustainable alternative to synthetic polymer flocculants for removing arsenic from drinking water. | 07-10-2014 |

Owing to the protective effects of the HA, the dose of chemotherapeutic agent may be substantially higher than a generally accepted effective dose, which would otherwise be expected to cause unacceptable side effects in the subject. | 12-10-2009 |

20130312159 | ARTICLES OF APPAREL PROVIDING ENHANCED BODY POSITION FEEDBACK - Articles of apparel include: (a) a garment structure having one or more fabric elements structured and arranged to provide a close fit to at least one predetermined portion of a body (e.g., area(s) of the body for which enhanced position sensing and/or feedback are desired, such as the lower back, the arch of the foot, etc.); and (b) a body position feedback system engaged with or integrally formed as part of the garment structure. The body position feedback system may apply higher tensile or constricting (compressive) forces to selected portions of the wearer's body, which can help stimulate or interact with nerves and deep tissue receptors located in various portions of the body. The increased forces at selected locations of the body give the wearer sensory feedback regarding the position or orientation of these parts of the body and can improve or accelerate development of “muscle memory.” | 11-28-2013 |

The method includes the main processor executing a program on a program thread, encountering a first section of code to be executed by the active memory device, changing, by a first command, a power state of a powered unit on the active memory device based on the main processor encountering the first section of code, the first command including a store command. The method also includes the processing element executing the first section of code at a second time, changing a power state of the main processor from a power use state to a power saving state based on the processing element executing the first section. | 09-18-2014 |

20140123338 | NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES MEDIATING MALE FERTILITY AND METHOD OF USING SAME - Nucleotide sequences mediating male fertility in plants are described, with DNA molecule and amino acid sequences set forth. Promoter sequences and their essential regions are also identified. The nucleotide sequences and promoter sequences are useful in methods mediating male fertility in plants, as described. Vectors, plant cells, and plants comprising the nucleotide sequences and/or promoter regions are also provided. | 05-01-2014 |
20140215652 | NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES MEDIATING MALE FERTILITY AND METHOD OF USING SAME - Nucleotide sequences mediating male fertility in plants are described, with DNA molecule and amino acid sequences set forth. Promoter sequences and their essential regions are also identified. The nucleotide sequences are useful in mediating male fertility in plants. In one such method, the homozygous recessive condition of male sterility causing alleles is maintained after crossing with a second plant, where the second plant contains a restoring transgene construct having a nucleotide sequence which reverses the homozygous condition. The restoring sequence is linked with a hemizygous sequence encoding a product inhibiting formation or function of male gametes. The maintainer plant produces only viable male gametes which do not contain the restoring transgene construct. Increase of the maintainer plant is also provided by self-fertilization, and selection for seed or plants which contain the construct. | 07-31-2014 |

20140163302 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIA STORING INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMAGE-GUIDED TREATMENT PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT - Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media relate to image-guided treatment planning and treatment assessment. The methods, systems, and the computer-readable storage medias according to embodiments can analyze treatment response and can determine an accurate, outcome-based response assessment of treatment (e.g., radiation treatment). The methods may include a method for determining a treatment response. The method may include registering at least a first image data and a second image data of a subject, the first image data corresponding to a first time point, the second image data corresponding to a second time point, the first time point and the second time point being different with respect to a treatment session and/or treatment stage. The method may include processing the registered image to determine a treatment response. The registering may be based on deformable registration. | 06-12-2014 |
20140378736 | METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIA STORING INSTRUCTIONS FOR GENERATING A RADIATION THERAPY TREATMENT PLAN - Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media relate to generating a treatment plan for a patient having a patient record. The methods, systems, and the computer-readable storage medias according to embodiments can automatically generate a treatment plan for the patient using (reference) records from previous plans. The system may include: a comparison module configured to compare anatomical information of a plurality of reference records and the patient record; a comparison quantification module configured to determine a metric corresponding to a degree of matching between each reference record and patient record; a reference record selection module configured to select a reference record from the plurality of reference records based on the metric; and a treatment plan generation module configured to generate a treatment plan for the patient based on the selected reference record. | 12-25-2014 |

20140060425 | SELECTIVELY COATING LUMINAL SURFACES OF STENTS - With abluminal side of a stent masked, the luminal side of the stent is selectively coated with a substance, such as an anti-coagulant, a platelet inhibitor and/or a pro-healing substance. The stent can be masked by inserting it into a rigid mandrel chamber or by compressing a masking sleeve onto the outer side of the stent. A spray nozzle inserted into the masked stent spray coats the substance onto the luminal side. The sprayed coating can be cured onto the stent such as by inserting an electrical-resistance heater bar into the stent. | 03-06-2014 |
