| 20090181393 | Methods for the identification, assessment, and treatment of patients with proteasome inhibition therapy - The present invention is directed to the identification of markers that can be used to determine whether patients with cancer are clinically responsive or non-responsive to a therapeutic regimen prior to treatment. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of certain combinations of markers, wherein the expression of the markers correlates with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen comprising proteasome inhibition. Thus, by examining the expression levels of individual markers and those comprising a marker set, it is possible to determine whether a therapeutic agent, or combination of agents, will be most likely to reduce the growth rate of tumors in a clinical setting. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20080286742 | METHOD FOR ESTIMATING EXAMINEE ATTRIBUTE PARAMETERS IN A COGNITIVE DIAGNOSIS MODEL - A method and system for determining attribute score levels from an assessment are disclosed. An assessment includes items each testing for at least one attribute. A first distribution is generated having a response propensity represented by a highest level of execution for each attribute tested by the item. An item threshold is determined for at least one score for the first distribution. Each item threshold corresponds to a level of execution corresponding to the score for which the item threshold is determined. For each attribute tested by the item, a second distribution is generated having a response propensity represented by a lowest level of execution for the attribute and the highest level of execution for all other attributes tested by the item. A mean parameter is determined for the second distribution. An attribute score level is determined for the scores based on the item thresholds and the mean parameters. | 11-20-2008 |

| 20110162753 | VAPOR RECOVERY PUMP REGULATION OF PRESSURE TO MAINTAIN AIR TO LIQUID RATIO - A method of operating a vapor recovery system that recovers vapors expelled from a vehicle during refueling at a fuel dispensing point and returns the vapors to an underground storage tank through a vapor flow path that is in fluid communication with an air to liquid regulator valve and a vapor pump. The method includes dispensing fuel into the vehicle through the fuel dispensing point, regulating an amount of vapor that is recovered through the fuel dispensing point with the air to liquid regulator valve in proportion to the fuel dispensed into the vehicle, detecting a parameter of the vapor recovery system, and maintaining a substantially constant pressure level in a first portion of the vapor return path that is disposed between the vapor pump and the air to liquid regulator valve. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110259470 | METHOD FOR ADJUSTING AIR TO LIQUID RATIO IN VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM - An air to liquid regulator valve for use with a vapor recovery system that recovers vapors expelled from a vehicle receiving fuel through a fuel supply passage and returns the vapors to an underground storage tank through a vapor return passage in a service station environment. The regulator valve includes a housing defining a fuel flow path in fluid communication with the fuel supply passage and a vapor return path in fluid communication with the vapor return passage, a vapor return orifice defined by the housing and disposed between a first portion and a second portion of the vapor return path, and a vapor flow bypass in fluid communication with the first portion and the second portion of the vapor return path such that the flow of vapors through both the vapor flow bypass and the vapor return orifice is possible. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20120042967 | VACUUM-ACTUATED SHEAR VALVE DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD, PARTICULARLY FOR USE IN SERVICE STATION ENVIRONMENTS - A vacuum-actuated shear valve coupled between piping from a storage tank and piping internal to a fuel dispenser that automatically opens and closes in response to a vacuum level. A vacuum actuator is provided to control a fuel flow valve inside the shear valve. When a sufficient vacuum level is generated to the vacuum actuator, the actuator keeps the flow path valve inside the shear valve open. When the vacuum is lost, the vacuum actuator releases the flow path valve inside the shear valve, which closes it. The vacuum actuator is coupled to a secondary containment space of a fuel-handling component that is drawn under a vacuum level by a vacuum-generating source to monitor for leaks. Thus, if a leak occurs in the monitored secondarily contained space, the shear valve is automatically closed to prevent the flow of fuel from continuing to be supplied to the source of the leak. | 02-23-2012 |

| 20120111421 | DOUBLE-WALLED CONTAINED SHEAR VALVE, PARTICULARLY FOR FUELING ENVIRONMENTS - A double-walled shear valve that carries fuel from a branch or main fuel piping to fuel dispenser piping. The double-walled shear valve comprises a containment housing defining a shear groove on the outside circumference of the containment housing and an inner housing defining an inner housing orifice therein forming a fuel flow path. The inner housing is coupled to the containment housing, and at least partially surrounded by the containment housing, such that an interstitial space is formed separate from the fuel flow path between the containment housing and the inner housing. The double-walled shear valve further comprises a main poppet valve coupled to the inner housing that is adapted to close the fuel flow path to prevent flow of fuel. | 05-10-2012 |

| 20090285093 | INTERACTIVE MPLS TRAFFIC ENGINEERING - An interactive system and method automates the control and management of routing changes that are focused on specific routes or particular network hot spots. Based on the premise that the user is aware of a particular problem that needs to be solved, the system leads the user through an end-to-end process from the identification of the problem to the generation of configuration instructions for effecting a selected solution. A graphic user interface provides a visualization of the current routing and alternative routings, to facilitate the analysis and selection of an improved routing, if any. Throughout the process, the effect of each proposed routing change on the overall network performance is determined, so that the selection of a preferred solution can be made in the appropriate context, and globally sub-optimal solutions can be avoided. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20090022056 | TUNING ROUTING METRICS TO REDUCE MAXIMUM LINK UTILIZATION AND/OR PROVIDE FAILURE RESILIENCY - A metric tuning technique optimizes the maximum link utilization of a set of links incrementally. Changes to the metric are constrained to be metric increases to divert routes from select links, thereby minimizing the number of changes required to achieve the optimization by avoiding the potential cascade of changes caused by attracting routes to a link. An interactive user interface is provided to allow a user to specify limits and constraints, and to select the sets of links to be addressed, including, for example, only the links that exceed a given link utilization threshold, the links having the highest link utilizations, the links having the highest failure effect, and so on. This incremental optimization technique is also used to optimize network resiliency by minimizing the network degradation caused by the failure of one or more links. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20120179813 | TRAFFIC FLOW INFERENCE BASED ON LINK LOADS AND GRAVITY MEASURES - Traffic flow between each pair of nodes in a network are determined based on loads measured at each link and based on gravity measures. The gravity measures correspond to a likelihood of the node being a source or a sink of traffic and may be assigned based on characteristics associated with each node, such as the demographics of the region in which the node is located, prior sinking and sourcing statistics, and so on. The gravity measures are used to generate an objective function for solving a system of linear equations, rather than as criteria that must be satisfied in the solution. The measured link loads are allocated among the traffic flows between nodes to at least a given allocation efficiency criteria by solving a system of linear equations with an objective of minimizing a difference between the assigned gravities and the resultant gravities corresponding to the determined flows. | 07-12-2012 |
