20120066378 | GENERIC, MULTI-INSTANCE METHOD AND GUI DETECTION SYSTEM FOR TRACKING AND MONITORING COMPUTER APPLICATIONS - Presented is a system and method for monitoring events derived from a computer target application presentation layer including the steps of providing, independent of recompiling the target application's source code, a script running at a level within the target application. The script scans run-time instantiations of objects of the target application, and allocates structures in real-time to the object instantiations. These allocated structures are adapted to create a reflection of the target application structure, which is used along with detected object instantiations that match a predetermined object structure to capture a portion of an environmental spectrum of the detected object. Further, the system can process state machine events occurring on at least one of a server machine and a client/localized machine, correlate the state machine events with the environmental spectrum, and deduce a user experience based on the correlated state machine events. | 03-15-2012 |

20090098286 | METHOD FOR FORMING BOND COATS FOR THERMAL BARRIER COATINGS ON TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENTS - A metal or alloy powder is cold sprayed onto a turbine engine component to form a bond coat. The bond coat is shot peened with particles at a sufficient velocity to compact and smooth the bond coat surface. The smooth surface promotes the formation of a stable and adhered alumina TGO layer. According to another embodiment, the bond coat is instead cold sprayed with particles at a velocity that is sufficient for the particles to compact and smooth the bond coat, and that is insufficient for the particles to bond with the bond coat. For both embodiments, a heat treatment process under controlled atmosphere may be necessary to promote bonding between bond coat and substrate and as a pre-oxidation step to form the TGO layer. | 04-16-2009 |

20150240317 | FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS SCREENING PLATFORM FOR HEAD AND NECK CANCER - The present invention relates to HPV-positive as well as HPV-negative screening platforms that are highly serum-dependent, for use as HNSCC models. These HNSCC models die reproducibly in serum-deprived conditions and the introduction of driver mutations (or increased levels of the WT gene) confers enhanced cell survival and proliferation under serum deprivation. These platforms have the major advantages of allowing functional screening of mutations in relevant HNSCC models (HPV-positive and HPV-negative). In addition to oncogene screening, this model can also be used in drug discovery. Specifically, cells expressing mutations that confer increased survival can then be screened against panels of therapeutic agents to determine if the mutation(s) can predict the optimal treatment for patients whose tumors harbor the mutation(s). | 08-27-2015 |
