20090293219VACUUM COLLECTION DEVICE USEFUL IN YARD MAINTENANCE - A portable, vacuum-powered collection device is useful in yard maintenance and other similar applications where debris, some of which may be bulky, is being collected. The collection device makes use of a receptacle adapted to be worn on a user's back during operation. The receptacle has an opening for emptying its contents. A vacuum unit is operatively associated with the receptacle so that it can move leaves through an intake passage and collect them in the receptacle. In one implementation, the receptacle includes a lid secured to cover a corresponding opening in the bottom portion of the receptacle. When the lid is opened, the contents of the receptacle can be emptied. In certain other implementations, a mechanism is included in the collection device which is configured or adapted so that the user can selectively open the lid to empty the contents of the receptacle while still wearing the receptacle on the back.12-03-2009

20100114889REMOTE VOLUME ACCESS AND MIGRATION VIA A CLUSTERED SERVER NAMESPACE - A system and method that provides users of network data storage systems with the ability to gain the advantages of a clustered storage server system, in which volumes stored on multiple server nodes are linked into a virtual global hierarchical namespace, without first having to migrate their data to the clustered storage server system. The system employs an extended virtual global hierarchical namespace that allows client systems to access, via the extended global namespace, volumes stored on the clustered storage server system and on one or more storage servers that are remote from and do not constitute a part of the clustered system. The extended global namespace can also be employed to perform migration of volume data among the multiple nodes of the clustered storage server system and the remote storage servers.05-06-2010

20090013310SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEVELOPING RICH INTERNET APPLICATIONS FOR REMOTE COMPUTING DEVICES - A system for developing rich internet applications (RIAs) for remote computing devices that utilize a certifying player to invoke server-side web services through a single, secure, certifying intermediary server, includes an integrated development environment (IDE). The IDE includes a toolbox comprising graphical components configured to be dragged and dropped into UI states implementing the RIA process flow and a Web Service Description Language (WSDL) integrator for generating web service call for accessing web services for processing input from the UI states and generating an output result.01-08-2009
20100299212SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A COMMERCE WINDOW APPLICATION FOR COMPUTING DEVICES - A commerce window system includes a consumer computing device, a commerce window gateway server and a plurality of merchants. The consumer computing device comprises a commerce application player executable by the consumer computing device. The commerce window gateway server comprises a commerce application and a secure payment application and the commerce window gateway server communicates with the consumer computing device via a first network connection. The plurality of merchants provide product offers to the consumer computing device via the commerce application and receive payments via the secure payment application. The commerce application comprises a plurality of commerce offer managers and each commerce offer manager is associated with a specific merchant and comprises a commerce offer application that presents product offers for sale by the specific merchant. A specific commerce offer application of a specific merchant is downloaded and executed by the commerce application player in the consumer computing device and displays product offers from the specific merchant in the consumer computing device. Each commerce offer manager further comprises an offer management application used to generate product offers by the specific merchant. Each product offer is associated with a product offer identifier and a specific merchant identifier.11-25-2010

20100186410OIL RECOVERY FROM AN EVAPORATOR OF AN ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE (ORC) SYSTEM - A method and system for recovering oil is used in an organic rankine cycle (ORC) system to recover oil from an evaporator of the ORC system and return the oil to an oil sump. The ORC system includes an evaporator, a turbine, a condenser and a pump, and is configured to circulate a refrigerant through the ORC system. The oil recovery system includes a recovery line configured to remove a mixture of oil and refrigerant from the evaporator. The mixture of oil and refrigerant passes through a heat exchanger in order to vaporize liquid refrigerant in the mixture and produce a mixture of oil and vaporized refrigerant. A delivery line is configured to deliver the mixture of oil and vaporized refrigerant to the turbine, at which point the oil may be separated from the vaporized refrigerant and recycled back to the oil sump.07-29-2010
20110005237OIL REMOVAL FROM A TURBINE OF AN ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE (ORC) SYSTEM - A method and system for removing oil in an organic rankine cycle (ORC) system (01-13-2011
20110162398REFRIGERANT POWERED VALVE FOR A GEOTHERMAL POWER PLANT - A vapor expansion system includes a normally closed pneumatic valve between the evaporator and the turbine inlet, with the valve being selectively actuated by the flow of refrigerant vapor from the evaporator so as to enable opening the valve only during periods in which sufficient pressure has built up in the evaporator to properly operate the turbine. A bypass line has a normally open pneumatic valve with an actuator that is similarly caused to operate by pressurized refrigerant vapor from the evaporator. Both actuators are vented to the condenser such that the refrigerant vapor vented from the actuator does not escape to ambient.07-07-2011

20100120682COMPOSITIONS FOR INCREASING BODY WEIGHT, USE AND METHODS - Use of an isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having a sequence identity of at least 80%, with the amino acid sequence represented by Gly Asn Ser Asp Asp Phe Leu Ser Gln Gln Pro Glu Arg Pro Arg AspVal Lys Leu Ala Arg (SEQ ID NO: 2), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for preparing a medicament for the treatment of a mammal to increase the body fat mass of said mammal, or to prevent or reduce the loss of body fat mass of said mammal. The polypeptide may comprise an amino acid sequence having a sequence identity of at least 80% with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, and may be the polypeptide the monomeric proenzyme of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5 (TRAP). A pharmaceutical composition comprising the polypeptide. The polypeptide is useful for increasing the body fat mass of a mammal.05-13-2010
