Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080242908Recycle Of DME In An Oxygenate-To-Olefin Reaction System - This invention is directed to a process for producing one or more olefins from an oxygenate feed. According to the invention, an oxygenate stream is provided and a recycle stream is added to the oxygenate stream to form a feed stream to an oxygenate-to-olefin conversion system. The recycle stream comprises (i.e., contains) propane and dimethyl ether.10-02-2008
20100018549Method of recovering heat transfer in reactor and regenerator effluent coolers - This invention relates to a method for removing fouling from a heat transfer surface, such as a heat exchanger. The method involves conducting a vapor containing a scouring material to the heat transfer surface and contacting the scouring material with the foulant, the heat transfer surface, or both. Scouring material and removed foulant can be recovered and conducted away.01-28-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090272653Hydrogen Production - A process and apparatus are provided for producing hydrogen from a hydrocarbon fuel by combining the fuel with a gas comprising both oxygen and steam, and passing the resulting mixture through a plasma generated by a microwave plasma generator between opposed electrodes. At least one of the electrodes defines a duct for outflow of gaseous material from the vicinity of the plasma, and the gas mixture emerging from the outflow duct contains hydrogen. The fuel undergoes partial oxidation and steam reforming, the reactions being initiated by the plasma rather than by a catalyst.11-05-2009

20090088759Customized Patient-Specific Instrumentation and Method for Performing a Bone Re-Cut - A number of orthopaedic surgical instruments are also disclosed. A method, apparatus, and system for fabricating such instruments are also disclosed.04-02-2009
20090088763Customized Patient-Specific Bone Cutting Block with External Reference - A number of orthopaedic surgical instruments are also disclosed. A method, apparatus, and system for fabricating such instruments are also disclosed.04-02-2009
20100223075System and method for integrating the health club and health insurance industries to reduce costs by providing financial incentives for health club members and health insured to improve and maintain their health - The invention described herein is a system and method whereby health club membership and its attendant health-promoting advantages is integrated with the health insurance industry to create a whole which reduces costs for both and provides financial incentives for individuals to improve and maintain their health. Individuals or employees participating in the integrated health club/health insurance program are motivated to improve their health by the rewards of one or more of subsidized health club dues or reduced health insurance premiums or deductibles for themselves or their employers. The invention achieves this goal in a way that is sustainable and profitable for all involved—individual, health club owner, employer, and health insurance provider.09-02-2010

20090098055Methods and Compositions for Diagnosing Disease - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for diagnosing a disease or disorder in a subject by introducing into cells of the subject a diagnostic gene switch construct and monitoring expression of a reporter gene. The invention further relates to methods and compositions for monitoring the progression of a disease or disorder or the effectiveness of a treatment for a disease or disorder.04-16-2009
20090136465Therapeutic Gene-Switch Constructs and Bioreactors for the Expression of Biotherapeutic Molecules, and Uses Thereof - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treating, ameliorating or preventing a disease or disorder in a subject by introducing into cells of the subject a therapeutic gene switch construct that controls expression of one or more therapeutic products.05-28-2009
20100003226Methods and Compositions for Treating Disease - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treating a subject comprising destroying diseased cells in the subject. The methods comprise obtaining a population of cells from a subject and determining the activity of at least one disease marker gene within the population of the obtained cells. A polynucleotide molecule that encodes a polypeptide that is lethal to the cells is then introduced into the cells, where the expression of the lethal polypeptide is controlled by the promoter of at least one of the disease marker genes previously identified. After introduction of the polynucleotide, the cells are treated with conditions to induce expression of the lethal polypeptide to destroy the cells that are expressing the disease marker gene(s). After destruction of the diseased cells, the remaining live cells, which did not express the lethal polypeptide to an extent necessary to kill the cells, are separated from the dead cells, and the live cells are restored to the subject.01-07-2010
20110268766Engineered Cells Expressing Multiple Immunomodulators And Uses Thereof - This invention relates to the field of therapeutics. Most specifically invention provides methods of generating in vitro engineered immune cells conditionally expressing interleukin-12 (IL-12) and one or more immunomodulators under the control of a gene expression modulation system in the presence of activating ligand and uses for therapeutic purposes in animals.11-03-2011
