Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100036040Intermediates for preparation of polymeric compositions - A Stable Liquid Intermediate comprising of a polyol and/or an acid and/or catalyst and/or water for the preparation of polymeric compositions, the polyol being polyester polyol, a polyoxpropylene- or polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethelene polyol or a mixture thereof. There is disclosed a method of use of said Stable Liquid Intermediate wherein said Stable Liquid Intermediate is mixed with rubber granules.02-11-2010

20090063319SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING ACQUISITION CHANNELS - To ensure merchant acquisition compliance, the invention enables creation of merchant selection criteria that are used to query a database of acquired merchants. A set of acquired merchants is randomly compiled based on the selection criteria and is entered into a workflow to determine compliance with a set of rules that are represented by a checklist. A checklist corresponding to the set of acquired merchants is retrieved. The set and the checklist are combined to create a case, which is assigned to a representative. The representative ensures that a merchant acquisition form for each merchant in the set complies with a checklist item. When a merchant acquisition form is found to be non-compliant, then it is either corrected by the representative (if the error is minor), or sent to an acquisition manager (when more substantive errors are found). The acquisition form is then corrected and the case is closed.03-05-2009

20100098709Antibodies Specific For The Complex Of Interleukin-6 And The Interleukin-6 Receptor - Binding members, especially antibody molecules that bind the IL-6:IL-6Ra complex formed by IL-6 and IL-6Ra, and do not bind either IL-6 or IL-6Ra alone. The binding members may have greater specificity for inhibiting pathological effects of IL-6 rather than beneficial effects of IL-6, as compared with binding members that bind IL-6 or IL-6Ra outside the IL-6:IL-6Ra complex.04-22-2010

20090117600Detection of biological molecules by differential partitioning of enzyme substrates and products - This invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting a biological molecule associated with enzyme activity in a sample. The invention is applicable to detecting a microorganism associated with an enzyme in a sample such as water, food, soil, or a biological sample. According to a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention, a sample containing an enzyme of interest or a microorganism associated with the enzyme is combined with a suitable substrate, and a fluorescent product of the enzyme-substrate reaction is selectively detected. The fluorescent product is detected with a partitioning element or optical probe/partitioning element of the invention. In one embodiment the partitioning element provides for partitioning of only the fluorescent product molecule into the probe. The invention also provides an automated system for monitoring for biological contamination of water or other samples.05-07-2009

20100013114METHOD OF FORMING - The present invention relates to a method of using non-macrogelled polymer-solvent combinations to form devices, in particular medical devices and/or cosmetic devices, more specifically contact lenses. The method of using polymer solvent combinations is suitable for forming useful 3D dimensionally stable structures which may include curved surfaces, which may be significantly different to those curved surfaces achieved by using simple meniscus effects.01-21-2010
