20130092188 | CONVERTIBLE DISHWASHER - A dishwasher includes a filtration system that can be configured in a chopping or filtration only arrangement. A check valve cover attached to an accumulator is inserted into a main intake of a sump and divides the main intake into a fluid recirculation chamber in communication with a recirculation intake port, and a separate fluid draining chamber in communication with a drain port. When a drain pump is actuated, fluid is pulled from the accumulator through the drain port until pressure within the fluid draining chamber drops below the pressure of the sump and a check valve in the check valve cover is forced open, allowing fluid to be channeled out of the fluid recirculation chamber into the fluid draining chamber. Optionally, a fine filter system can replace the convertible filtration system, whereby the main intake is in fluid communication with both the recirculation intake port and the drain port. | 04-18-2013 |

20090060891 | High Concentration Self-Microemulsifying Coenzyme Q10 Preparations For Nutritional Use - A method and composition are presented for enhancing the dissolution and bioavailable properties of CoQ10 nutritional supplements and/or therapeutic agents for a human being and other mammals. The method includes preparing an anhydrous self-microemulsifying base composition by combining: CoQ10, a water-immiscible, and a non-ionic surfactant, containing polyethylene glycol. For an orally administered CoQ10 nutritional supplement in a capsule formulation, a unit dosage from the composition is added to a dissolvable capsule, preferably a soft gelatin capsule, in order to form the nutritional supplement. When a capsule containing the self-microemulsifying composition enters the digestive tract, the temperature of the body's digestive juices warms the composition, causing any of the CoQ10 that may have re-crystallized out of the composition to become re-dissolved into the composition before the capsule dissolves. The re-dissolution of CoQ10 is bioavailable when the capsule dissolves. Upon dissolution of the capsule, the self-microemulsifying composition comes into contact with the digestive juices and naturally forms micellar-type bioavaible microemulsions, consisting of micelles containing CoQ10. In addition to the capsule formulation, the invention includes parenteral, liquid, topical and ophthalmic formulations. | 03-05-2009 |

20110237782 | METHODS FOR GLYCO-ENGINEERING PLANT CELLS FOR CONTROLLED HUMAN O-GLYCOSYLATION - This invention discloses the development of a novel platform for recombinant production of bioactive glycoproteins and cancer specific vaccines in plants. Plants and plant cell cultures have been humanized with respect to human mucin-type protein O-glycosylation. A panel of plant cell factories for production of recombinant glycoproteins with designed human O-glycosylation, including an improved cancer vaccine candidate, has been developed. The platform provides basis for i) production of an essentially unlimited array of O-glycosylated human glycoprotein therapeutics, such as human interferon α2B and podoplanin, and ii) for further engineering of additional cancer specific O-glycans on glycoproteins of therapeutical value. Currently, mammalian cells are required for human O-glycosylation, but plants offer a unique cell platform for engineering O-glycosylation since they do not perform human type O-glycosylation. Introduction of O-glycosylation into plant cells requires i) that wild-type plant cells do not modify the target peptide substrates and ii) that the appropriate enzymes and substrates are introduced into of plant cells such that O-glycosylation in the secretory pathway proceed and the glycosylated peptide substrates are preferentially exported to the exterior of the cell or accumulated in the cell. In this invention i) the integrity of transiently and stably expressed ‘mucin’ type target peptides in plants cells has been determined and ii) mucin-type O-glycosylation has been established in plants by transient and stable introduction of a | 09-29-2011 |

20090119769 | CROSS-SITE SCRIPTING FILTER - A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) mitigation technique that can be implemented wholly on the client by installing a client-side filter that prevents reflected XSS vulnerabilities. XSS filtering performed entirely on the client-side enables web browsers to defend against XSS involving servers which may not have sufficient XSS mitigations in place. The technique accurately identifies XSS attacks using carefully selected heuristics and matching suspect portions of URLs and POST data with reflected page content. The technique used by the filter quickly identifies and passes through traffic which is deemed safe, keeping performance impact from the filter to a minimum. Non-HTML MIME types can be passed through quickly as well as requests which are same-site. For the remaining requests, regular expressions are not run across the full HTTP response unless XSS heuristics are matched in the HTTP request URL or POST data. | 05-07-2009 |

20090165805 | Mouth Guard - A mouth guard comprises, in one embodiment, a pair of bite pads joined by a connecting portion, each bite pad having an upper bite surface and a lower bite surface, one bite surface being movable relative to the other bite surface to allow relative movement of a user's teeth and jaws to decrease the impact of bruxism and diminish symptoms associated with temporomandibular disorders and the like. In another embodiment, a single wire is formed into a mouth guard comprising a pair of bite pads joined by a connection portion. | 07-02-2009 |

20140014532 | ADJUSTABLE, RETRACTABLE PROBE INSERTION ASSEMBLY - An adjustable insertion assembly for an electrochemical sensor includes an electrode holder to receive the sensor, having a distal aperture to permit process fluid to contact the sensor. A receptacle slidably receives the holder, for a sliding range of motion extending from fully inserted to fully retracted positions. An open distal end portion of the receptacle extends through a wall of a process fluid vessel, so that the aperture is open to the process fluid when fully inserted, and closed when fully retracted. A leverage member is releasably movable relative to the receptacle, and moves with a captured extension. An abutment of the receptacle engages the extension so that movement of the leverage member in opposite directions alternately clamps and releases the electrode holder relative to the receptacle to substantially prevent and permit movement at substantially any point within the range of movement. | 01-16-2014 |

20090084735 | SEDIMENT REMOVAL APPARATUS - A sediment removal system and method provides a versatile and controllable device for removing sediment from water in a focused manner that avoids generating unwanted turbidity. A suction pump draws water and sediment through a suction conduit and the injection of air into the suction conduit by air nozzles enables sediment to be removed from greater depths. The inclusion of water nozzles on an inlet opening enables hardened sediment to be dislodged such that it may be drawn into the suction conduit. A GPS receiver mounted to the suction conduit enables the location of the removal process to be tracked and a knife valve prevents backflow out of the suction conduit. The capturing of solid sediment by retention containers and the capturing of water containing suspended sediment by a tank enables the sediment and water to be transported to an appropriate location for treatment or disposal. | 04-02-2009 |

20140116344 | BIRD FEEDER - A wild animal feeder is provided for holding a food block having a passageway therein. The feeder comprises a base member and a roof member. The base and roof members define a food receiving space there between for receiving a food block. A food block engaging member has a proximal end and a distal end. A food block engaging member coupler is provided that is attached to one of the base member and roof member for coupling the food block engaging member to one of the base member and roof member for permitting the food block engaging member to move between a food block engaging position and a food block release position. In the food block engaging position, the food block engaging member is positioned in the food receiving space between the roof and base member to engage the food block for maintaining the food block on the feeder on the food receiving space. In the food block released position, the food engaging member is positioned to permit the food block to be inserted into the food receiving space. | 05-01-2014 |
