Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090123943Characterization and Identification of Unique Human Adiponectin Isoforms and Antibodies - The invention pertains to methods for measuring different forms of human adiponectin that are present in human plasma/serum, and more specifically methods are based on an ELISA assay that utilizes different monoclonal antibodies directed against adiponectin, in combination with different polyclonal antibodies directed against different domains of human adiponectin. The invention also provides unique isoforms of adiponectin and antibodies thereto, including polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies.05-14-2009

20090021532Translation table - The present invention relates to image displays and signage, and more particularly, to displays of custom or arbitrary shape. Such shaped displays include channel letter displays, logo or design displays, multiple displays in an assembly, multiple display modules, curved or round displays, or other arbitrary shaped or unusual aspect ratio displays. The present invention further relates to software, apparatus, and methods for a translation table which maps graphical data from an initial shape to an arbitrary shape for use on such displays.01-22-2009
20090024867Redundant data path - Disclosed are redundant data path(s) for transmission of graphical data between components in a graphical display system. The redundant data path(s) are used to transmit graphical data by at least two independent means, so that if a failure in one data path occurs, a data transmitted via a separate data path can be used for display. The system is particularly advantageous for multiple-serial-module configurations. The redundant data path(s) minimize disruption of data display and make repair and maintenance of the display system more efficient. The invention includes apparatus for graphical display systems, and also includes methods of data transmission for graphical display systems, and methods of maintenance of graphical display systems.01-22-2009
20090024929Remote power supply - A remote power supply arrangement for graphical display systems. The remote power supply places one or more power supplies in a separate location, some distance apart from the graphical display, rather than within the display cabinet or module itself. Power is then transferred from the power supply to the display by electrical cords. The remote power supply provides lighter weight displays, less noise near the displays, and improved maintenance and repair. The invention includes apparatus, methods of providing remote power to displays.01-22-2009

20110121603LATERAL SLIDE VEHICLE SEAT - An adjustable vehicle seat arrangement includes a plurality of strikers connected with a vehicle frame, an inboard vehicle seat, and an outboard vehicle seat. At least one outboard seat rear striker includes a latching section divider dividing the outboard seat rear striker into at least two laterally spaced apart latching sections. The outboard vehicle seat includes an outboard seat rear latch that cooperates with the outboard seat rear striker and an outboard seat front latch that cooperates with an outboard seat front striker. The outboard seat is generally laterally aligned with and laterally offset from the inboard seat. The outboard seat is laterally adjustable and the outboard seat rear latch is configured to engage the outboard seat rear striker at each of the at least two laterally spaced apart latching sections. A method for laterally adjusting a vehicle seat and a vehicle seat assembly are also disclosed.05-26-2011

20100280239POLYMERIZATION INITIATORS FOR FIBER-REINFORCED POLYMER COMPOSITES AND MATERIALS MADE FROM THE COMPOSITES - Coupling-initiator compounds are described that include a silicon-containing coupling moiety and at least one polymerization initiator moiety. The coupling moiety may be linked to the at least one polymerization initiator moiety by at least one linking moiety. The coupling moiety is capable of coupling the compound to a substrate, while the one or more polymerization initiator moieties are capable of initiating a polymerization of a monomer under polymerization conditions. The coupling-initiator compounds may be included in fiber reinforced polymer composites, where the compounds are coupled to the fibers in the composites and participate in the polymerization of the surrounding polymer.11-04-2010
20100286343Surfaces containing coupling activator compounds and reinforced composites produced therefrom - The invention relates to products and processes employing coupling activator compounds represented by the following formula I:11-11-2010

20080305329Method and system for forming reinforcing fibers and reinforcing fibers having particulate protuberances directly attached to the surfaces - Reinforcing fibers with small particles having a longest average dimension of approximately 0.01 nanometer to approximately 30 micrometers physically and/or chemically bonded directly to their surfaces to form protuberances thereon and a method and system for making these modified fibers are disclosed. The particles directly bonded to the surfaces of the fibers, serve to enhance physical properties of composite articles which incorporate such fibers as reinforcement.12-11-2008
20100196697METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING REINFORCING FIBERS AND REINFORCING FIBERS HAVING PARTICULATE PROTUBERANCES DIRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE SURFACES - Reinforcing fibers with small particles having a longest average dimension of approximately 0.01 nanometer to approximately 30 micrometers physically and/or chemically bonded directly to their surfaces to form protuberances thereon and a method and system for making these modified fibers are disclosed. The particles directly bonded to the surfaces of the fibers, serve to enhance physical properties of composite articles which incorporate such fibers as reinforcement.08-05-2010
20100305269METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MAKING REINFORCED THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES, AND THE PRODUCTS - Various methods and systems of making inorganic fiber/flake reinforced composites having a thermoplastic matrix are disclosed. The methods use systems similar to those used to make inorganic fiber/flake reinforced products having a thermoset matrix, but the systems and methods are modified to use thermoplastic precursor monomer(s) followed by in situ polymerization of the monomer(s) during and/or following forming of the desired shape of the products. These methods permit the manufacture of superior inorganic fiber reinforced thermoplastic matrix composites in large and very large shapes heretofore not possible, or practical.12-02-2010
