| 20100186316 | Engineered Wood Construction System for High Performance Structures - A building includes a connection between an engineered wood load bearing element of the building such as a column, beam, or load bearing panel, and another load bearing element or a foundation of the building. At least one tendon ties the load bearing elements or the load bearing element and the foundation together. One or more energy dissipaters, replacably connected between the load bearing element and/or the foundation, absorb energy when a loading event causes relative movement of the connection. The engineered wood element maybe a laminated veneer lumber element, a parallel strand lumber element, or a glue laminated timber element, for example. Typically all of the load bearing elements of the building will be engineered wood elements. The building may be single or multi-storey. The building system enables lightweight low cost buildings, with energy dissipaters which may be replaced after extreme loading. The building may be prefabricated | 07-29-2010 |

| 20090311711 | CRH and POMC Effects on Animal Growth - The present invention provides for selection of bovine animals that will display phenotypes associated with increased rates of growth. These phenotypes include hot carcass weight, average daily gain, shipping weight, end of test rib eye area, and adjusted weaning weight which is a measure of post-natal growth, based on the knowledge of their CRH, POMC and MC4R genotypes. The predictive value comes from the discovery that certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes are linked to higher growth rate phenotypes. Specifically, the phenotypes that correlated with specific SNP's are end-of-test rib-eye area, adjusted weaning weight, average daily gain, shipping weight and hot carcass weight. The invention also provides novel kits that can be used in making the determination of these genotypes. The invention further provides for methods of screening bovines to predict which animals will have higher growth rate, allowing producers to selectively breed and manage animus based on desired characteristics, thereby maximizing productivity and profitability in commercial meat production operations. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20100015613 | Systems and Methods for Improving Protein and Milk Production of Dairy Herds - The present invention provides for a direct correlation between milk production in livestock animals and the presence of alleles of a gene encoding an adipocyte-specific polypeptide, termed leptin, which gene is hereinafter referred to as ob. The invention also provides novel compositions consisting essentially of specific oligonucleotides that are useful as primers to amplify particular regions of the genome during enzymatic nucleic acid amplification, thus providing a rapid, sensitive and specific method for the detection of the ob-gene polymorphism which may be present in a specimen. The invention further provides for methods of screening bovine to determine those having predictably more milk productivity and advantageously selecting those livestock for future breeding and management purposes based on the ob polymorphisms. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20110220696 | CARRY BAG FOR PERSONAL ITEMS SUCH AS KEYS OR VALUABLES - The present invention relates to a carry bag for carrying personal items and a method of manufacturing a carry bag for carrying personal items. The carry bag comprising an inner pouch within which one or more personal items can be received, the inner pouch being made of a water impervious material such that in use the inner pouch resists water entry and thereby protects the personal items within the inner pouch from water. An outer pouch within which the inner pouch is completely received, the outer pouch having an opening through which the inner pouch is passed and a flap extending across the opening to completely conceal the inner pouch; and a strap on the outer pouch for strapping the outer pouch to the body of a user. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20110110036 | PASSIVE COOLING SYSTEM FOR PHOTO VOLTAIC MODULES - The present invention discloses a cooling fin assembly for Photo Voltaic Solar (PVS) panels providing an improved passive cooling of the PVS panels. Cooling fins as such do provide a good local cooling effect underneath the contacting surface of the fins. However, due to uneven air streams around the cooling fins, the temperature difference across a transversal direction relative to the direction of the fins may be high. This causes a severe degradation of the cooling systems effectiveness, and the resulting output form the PVS panel. According to the disclosure of this invention, an arrangement of transversal heat conducting materials provides a heat bridge providing a thermal relaxation time below a predefined threshold across the whole back side of the PVS panel, thereby improving the overall cooling effect of the PVS panel. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20110308473 | SOLID WALL CLOSED CONTAINMENT AQUACULTURE SYSTEM - This system for cultivating marine species employs a marine-based array of floating closed-containment tanks composed of panels made of waterproof fiberglass laminate materials and internal buoyant foam-based materials. The panels, connected by flanged struts, form the walls and bottom of the tanks, which are substantially cylindrical in overall shape. The tops of the tanks are open to the atmosphere but are protected from predators via a thick mesh top net. The system also employs a filtration system which utilizes centrifugal water flow and hydraulics to remove sludge and solid matter which is then filtered and transformed into a component for use in garden fertilizers. It also uses an electronic computerized system for monitoring and controlling the marine species rearing environment. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20100302242 | System and method for selectable display in object models - A method for displaying objects in a CAD system, and corresponding CAD system and computer program product. The method includes loading a graphic model with a plurality of model elements including edges and faces in a CAD system and receiving a selection of a display technique to be used on the graphic model. The method also includes classifying each model element as important or unimportant. The method also includes hiding a first subset of the unimportant model elements according to the selected display technique and adjusting the transparency of a second subset of the unimportant model elements according to the selected display technique, so that the important model elements are clearly visible with relation to the unimportant model elements. The method can produce a simplified graphic model that is displayed by the CAD system. | 12-02-2010 |
