| 20090062593 | METHOD FOR REDUCING THE EMISSION OF GREEN HOUSE GASES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE - A method for reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, such as for example carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere above a ground surface, the method comprising injecting a gas stream comprising one or more than one greenhouse gas into a subsurface injection formation, where the subsurface injection formation comprises a water-laden layer comprising formation water, and where some or all of the greenhouse gases present in the gas stream become dissolved in the formation water in the subsurface injection formation, sequestering the one or more than one greenhouse gas in the subsurface injection formation, separating non-greenhouses gas in situ from the greenhouse gas, venting the non-greenhouse gas from the formation and thereby reducing the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20120030752 | Computer keyboard with ultrasonic user proximity sensor - A terminal for a computer system includes a keyboard incorporating modules for performing two factor authentication (TFA) for log-on of a user. TFA preferably combines a fingerprint scan with the proximity of a previously enrolled Bluetooth device that typically accompanies the user, such as a wireless phone or headset. The keyboard also includes an ultrasonic proximity detector aimed to detect the presence of the user at the keyboard and to terminate log-on when the user leaves the keyboard. The keyboard processor may be used as an encryption engine to encode all keystroke data and authentication/log-on transactions with the computer system. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20090143570 | METHOD FOR ISOLATION OF GENOMIC DNA, RNA AND PROTEINS FROM A SINGLE SAMPLE - The invention provides systems, methods and kits for the separation and/or purification of at least two cellular components selected from genomic DNA, RNA and proteins. The method includes first lysing a biological sample to generate an aqueous solution containing the cellular components; then applying the aqueous solution to a first mineral support under conditions for genomic DNA to bind; and collecting the flowthrough which contains unbound total RNA and proteins. The method further includes applying the flowthrough to a second mineral support under conditions for RNA to bind, and collecting the flowthrough which contains proteins. The genomic DNA and total RNA bound can be eluted while the protein in the flowthrough can be further purified. Further the total RNA isolated could be used to isolate small RNA such as microRNA. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20100094743 | LOW LATENCY TRADING SYSTEM - Systems and methods for transmitting trade orders from a client trading engine to an exchange where the trades are executed. The system may comprise a low latency system in communication with the client trading engine and the exchange server(s). The low latency system is for receiving trade orders from the client trading engine, performing one or a limited number of pre-order risk checks on the trade orders, and, when the trade orders pass the risk checks, transmitting the trade order to the exchange server(s). The system also comprises a post-order risk checking data center in communication with the low latency system via a network. The post-order risk checking data center is for performing post-order risk checks on the trade orders after the low latency system transmits the trade orders to the exchange server(s). | 04-15-2010 |

| 20090111465 | Transmission Scheduling for ADS-B Ground Systems - System and methods for reducing redundant messages broadcast in an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) system. For a given target, a controller determines the relevant customers that should receive information about the target, identifies all of the ground stations that can be satisfactorily heard by the relevant customers, and then identifies a smaller subset of ground stations by selecting only those ground stations that are needed to reach all of the relevant customers. ADS-B messages are then broadcast to the relevant customers using only the smaller subset of ground stations. | 04-30-2009 |
