20090021754Method and system for converting a document - A printing system includes a converter for replacing graphic elements of a color matched document (01-22-2009
20090327873PAGE EDITING - A system and method for robustly editing a page description language of a first format using a familiar page editor for editing page descriptions of a second format is described. Portions of the original page are delimited and the page is then converted to the second format where it can be edited natively and then converted back into the first format. Preserved delimiting information can be used in conjunction with stored reference information to repair problems caused by the processes of converting and editing.12-31-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090002357Drive Circuit, A Display Device Provided With The Same - In one embodiment of the present invention, a drive circuit includes: a logic block connected between a source of a first voltage and a source of a second voltage, and a sampler including a plurality of sampling circuits. Each sampling circuit is for sampling, in use, an input data signal and outputting a voltage to a respective output. The drive circuit further includes a voltage booster having plurality of voltage boost circuits, each voltage boost circuit being associated with a respective one of the sampling circuits and, in use, generating a boosted voltage signal and providing the boosted voltage signal to the respective sampling circuit. Each voltage boost circuit is connected between the source of the first voltage and the source of the second voltage. The logic block may be, but is not limited to, a shift register.01-01-2009

James Anthony Cairns, Dundee GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110027385NANO-PARTICLE DISPERSIONS - A process for the production of an aqueous dispersion of metal nano particles comprising palladium is provided. The process comprises the admixture of a water soluble organic polymer, a palladium salt and a first reducing agent to an aqueous liquid. The first reducing agent is a metal-containing polymer which has reducing properties or a saccharide which has reducing properties. The nano particles can include a second metal. The dispersions can be used as catalysts for electroless plating, to produce heterogeneous catalysts and in the production of anti-microbial devices and compositions.02-03-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110098200Methods using dsdna to mediate rna interference (rnai) - The present invention provides methods of producing dsDNA molecules that can be used to mediate RNA interference (RNAi). These methods include the production of hairpin DNAs including random sequences, and the use of convergent promoters to co-express sense and antisense RNAs. As such, the invention allows the production of random short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and a small interfering RNA (siRNA) expression libraries for forward genetic screening.04-28-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100112594METHOD FOR ENUMERATING MAMMALIAN CELL MICRONUCLEI WITH AN EMPHASIS ON DIFFERENTIALLY STAINING MICRONUCLEI AND THE CHROMATIN OF DEAD AND DYING CELLS - The present invention relates a method for the enumeration of mammalian cell micronuclei, while distinguishing micronuclei from the chromatin of dead and dying cells. The method utilizes differential staining of chromatin from dead and dying cells, to distinguish the chromatin from micronuclei and nuclei that can be detected based upon fluorescent emission and light scatter following exposure to an excitatory light source. Counting of micronuclei events relative to the number of nuclei can be used to assess the DNA-damaging potential of a chemical agent, the DNA-damaging potential of a physical agent, the effects of an agent which can modify endogenously-induced DNA damage, and the effects of an agent which can modify exogenously-induced DNA damage. Kits for practicing the invention are also disclosed.05-06-2010
