| 20100297639 | QUANTITATIVE/SEMI-QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENT OF EPOR ON CANCER CELLS - The present invention provides for assays useful in predicting whether a cancer patient risks suffering erythropoietin-induced tumor progression if treated with erythropoietin. More specifically, one embodiment provides for a validated quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay that detects erythropoietin receptor expression, thus indicating whether a cancer patient risks suffering erythropoietin-induced tumor progression if treated with erythropoietin. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20080303263 | Book - A new book has a single fundamental element to be learned by the child (such as a single letter of the alphabet, or a single number, or a single color) on the front cover. The internal pages bear images associated with the element, such as words that are spelled with the letter, or images of products that have the color. Magnetically-attracting elements are included in both the spine of the book and a flap that is attached to a fore-edge side of one of the covers. These elements allow the books to be linked side-by-side. A collection of books can be offered as a set, with a separate book for substantially each of the letters of the alphabet. A child can link the books together to spell words. | 12-11-2008 |

| 20110297535 | ION BEAM SPUTTER TARGET AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A target for use in an ion beam sputtering apparatus made of at least two target tiles where at least two of the target tiles are made of different chemical compositions and are mounted on a main tile and geometrically arranged on the main tile to yield a desired chemical composition on a sputtered substrate. In an alternate embodiment, the tiles are of varied thickness according to the desired chemical properties of the sputtered film. In yet another alternate embodiment, the target is comprised of plugs pressed in a green state which are disposed in cavities formed in a main tile also formed in a green state and the assembly can then be compacted and then sintered. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20100252146 | TITANIUM ALUMINIDE INTERMETALLIC ALLOYS WITH IMPROVED WEAR RESISTANCE - The invention is directed to a method for producing a titanium aluminide intermetallic alloy composition having an improved wear resistance, the method comprising heating a titanium aluminide intermetallic alloy material in an oxygen-containing environment at a temperature and for a time sufficient to produce a top oxide layer and underlying oxygen-diffused layer, followed by removal of the top oxide layer such that the oxygen-diffused layer is exposed. The invention is also directed to the resulting oxygen-diffused titanium aluminide intermetallic alloy, as well as mechanical components or devices containing the improved alloy composition. | 10-07-2010 |

| 20100084060 | METAL COMPLEXES FOR USE AS GAS GENERANTS - Gas-generating compositions and methods for their use are provided. Metal complexes are used as gas-generating compositions. These complexes are comprised of a metal cation template, a neutral ligand containing hydrogen and nitrogen, and sufficient oxidizing anion to balance the charge of the complex. The complexes are formulated such that when the complex combusts, nitrogen gas and water vapor is produced. Specific examples of such complexes include metal nitrite amine, metal nitrate amine, and metal perchlorate amine complexes, as well as hydrazine complexes. A binder and co-oxidizer can be combined with the metal complexes to improve crush strength of the gas-generating compositions and to permit efficient combustion of the binder. Such gas-generating compositions are adaptable for use in gas-generating devices, such as automobile air bags. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100116385 | Methods of forming a sensitized explosive and a percussion primer - A sensitized explosive that comprises an explosive precipitated onto a sensitizer. The explosive is CL-20, PETN, RDX, HMX, or mixtures thereof and the sensitizer is aluminum, titanium, zirconium, magnesium, melamine, styrene, lithium aluminum hydride, or mixtures thereof. The sensitized explosive is used in a percussion primer that includes a bismuth compound and a melt binder. The bismuth compound is bismuth oxide, bismuth subnitrate, bismuth tetroxide, bismuth sulfide, or mixtures thereof and the melt binder is a wax having a melting point above ambient temperature, trinitrotoluene, poly(3,3-bis(azidomethyl)oxetane), poly(3-azidomethyl-3-methyloxetane), ethyl-3,5-dinitrobenzoate, or mixtures thereof. A gun cartridge and other primer-containing ordnance assemblies employing the percussion primer are also disclosed. Methods of forming the sensitized explosive and the percussion primer are also disclosed. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20110168305 | NON-LETHAL PAYLOADS - Non-lethal payloads may be customized for particular uses and desired visual and audible incapacitation based upon the selection of igniter/activators and illuminants used with the non-lethal payloads. Non-lethal payloads employing high flame temperature igniter/activators and illuminants of powder metals, powdered metals combined with oxidizers, and powdered metals combined with heat-activated chromophores may produce improved “flashes” and “bangs” for non-lethal payloads used with diversionary or other devices. Such devices and methods of producing illuminance and noise are also disclosed. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110226493 | MAN RATED FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS - A fire suppression system for producing an inert gas mixture having a minimal amount of carbon monoxide, particulates, or smoke. The inert gas mixture may be generated by combusting a gas generant. The gas generant may be a composition that includes hexa(ammine)-cobalt(III)-nitrate. The fire suppression system also includes a heat management system to reduce a temperature of the inert gas mixture. In one embodiment, the system includes multiple gas generators and is configured to ignite the respective gas generant of each gas generator in a predetermined, time based sequential order. For example, the gas generant of each gas generator may be ignited in a sequential order at specified time intervals. Methods of extinguishing fires are also disclosed. | 09-22-2011 |
