| 20100145034 | SELECTIVE PLACEMENT OF CARBON NANOTUBES THROUGH FUNCTIONALIZATION - The present invention provides a method for selectively placing carbon nanotubes on a substrate surface by using functionalized carbon nanotubes having an organic compound that is covalently bonded to such carbon nanotubes. The organic compound comprises at least two functional groups, the first of which is capable of forming covalent bonds with carbon nanotubes, and the second of which is capable of selectively bonding metal oxides. Such functionalized carbon nanotubes are contacted with a substrate surface that has at least one portion containing a metal oxide. The second functional group of the organic compound selectively bonds to the metal oxide, so as to selectively place the functionalized carbon nanotubes on the at least one portion of the substrate surface that comprises the metal oxide. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20110086577 | POST-SURGERY BRA - A post-surgery bra is disclosed. The bra is for use by a patient after breast surgery. The bra includes an inner lining, an outer decorative layer, and a partial cup portion disposed between the layers. The partial cup portion is preferably made of a molded foam, and does not extend above the apex of the cup position of the bra. Thus, the bra helps prevent irritation of sore areas and remains cooler over the upper cup area. In various embodiments, the seems are inverted to prevent an abrasive edge from forming. A pocket is provided on the inner portion of the cup area for a prosthesis. Ideally, a wide lower band is provided to help hold the bra in place, and for comfort. | 04-14-2011 |

| 20080227066 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTHORING AND OPTIMIZING FLOWCHARTS - A method and system for generating problem resolution flowcharts, whereby users do not author flowcharts directly but instead author a dependency matrix of questions and answers related by state or underlying problem cause. After creation of a matrix of questions and answers, a corresponding flowchart is then calculated based on the information in the dependency matrix, and also based on the likelihood of the various problems and their causes. The probabilities of problems and their causes may be estimated or may be calculated from historical data accumulated by use of the flow chart, or some combination of the two. These probabilities are incorporated into the answer cells of the dependency matrix. The resulting flowchart is tested and evaluated, and the results of testing and evaluation are used to make modifications in the matrix of questions and answers. The flowchart is then made available for execution by a problem determination engine, usable by staff at a help center or directly as self-help to a customer over a network. Experience from use of the problem determination engine is accumulated for use in further refinements of the dependency matrix and its probabilities. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080232262 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK TOPOLOGY DISCOVERY USING CLOSURE APPROACH - Improved network topology discovery techniques are disclosed. For example, an automated method for discovering a topology of a network, having a plurality of nodes, includes the following steps. A first traceroute process is performed for a given source node and one or more destination nodes listed in a target list so as to discover one or more paths through one or more intermediate nodes between the given source node and the one or more destination nodes. The one or more intermediate nodes discovered during the first traceroute process are added to the target list. A second traceroute process is performed for the given source node and the one or more intermediate nodes discovered during the first traceroute process so as to discover one or more paths through one or more additional intermediate nodes between the given source node and the one or more intermediate nodes discovered during the first traceroute process. When one or more additional intermediate nodes are discovered as a result of performance of the second traceroute process, the one or more additional intermediate nodes are added to the target list and the traceroute process is repeated to determine the existence of any further intermediate nodes. When no new intermediate nodes are discovered as a result of performance of the second traceroute process or a subsequent traceroute process, the nodes in the target list are identified as a target closure set for the given source node. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20100091685 | Method and System for Deducing Network Routes by Querying Routers - A method and system for detecting and correcting invalid network paths in a network having a plurality of routers and a set of global invariant rules imbedded in the network including querying a subset of a routing table data structure defining network paths wherein said subset includes a plurality of routing table entries and comparing a network routing table entry with an earlier network routing table entry for the same node. The method and system also includes detecting inconsistencies between the newer network routing table entry and the earlier network routing table entry, and invalidating the network entries of the older network routing table that are inconsistent with the newer entries. The method and system also includes reconstructing the routing structure by replacing the invalidated network routing table entries with new routing table entries that minimize violation of the invariant protocols. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20080270225 | Apparatus and Methods for Determining Availability and Performance of Entities Providing Services in a Distributed System Using Filtered Service Consumer Feedback - The invention concerns apparatus and methods that determine availability and performance of entities providing services in a distributed system using filtered service-consumer feedback. In particular, apparatus and methods of the invention filter service-consumer feedback in order to reduce the effect of circumstances unique to individual service consumers or to groups of service consumers that do not accurately reflect the actual availability or performance of service-providing entities. In this way an accurate appraisal is gained regarding the performance and availability of a service-providing entity. Reactive methods of the invention can be combined with proactive methods such as, for example, active status probing, to further improve the accuracy of data concerning the status and availability of service-providing entities. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20120129718 | Qualitative/Quantitative Detection of Fungal Species - A method based on species-specific molecular markers applied to a multiplex platform system is provided that permits, in a one-time assay, the qualitative and quantitative screening of multi-species populations in several dozens of environmental samples, tested in parallel, with low cost and rapid turn-around. The method identifies a specific portion of DNA, shared amongst a variety of important mold species, but with sufficient sequence differences that allow for unique identifications. Two pairs of primers, which are capable of amplifying this region across at least 38 different mold species, have been identified. Also short oligonucleotide probes have been designed specifically for each species to detect their presence and concentration in mixed species environmental samples. The method of detection of the invention can be practiced using conventional PCR reactions, followed by nucleotide hybridization assays and quantization of the hybridized biotinylated amplicons in a multiplex liquid array system. | 05-24-2012 |
