20100093438Dynamic and Scalable Topology for Virtual World Environments - The present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for providing a dynamic and scalable topology for virtual world environments. In one embodiment, the method may include determining, in response to a request of a user computer system to transfer from a first place to a second place in a virtual environment, an instance of a second place that satisfies the request. The method may also include directing the user computer system to a game server that provides the determined instance of the second place.04-15-2010
20110087479ONLINE BUILDING TOY - The present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for building online games. In one embodiment, the method may include providing a user interface that facilitates user selection of parts, and placing a set of parts selected by a user in a three-dimensional (3D) world. The method may also include joining parts within the set based on their proximity to each other in the 3D world to form one or more models for a game, and sending a model file for each of these models to a server via a network for use by various users.04-14-2011

20090047390CHICKEN NOODLE BITES - A snack food incorporating various ingredients of chicken noodle soup is described. The processing of a chicken noodle soup mixture begins with three separate batch operations (e.g., pasta, chicken/vegetable filling, and broth) that are completed before moving to a continuous forming process, such as a triple cold forming extrusion operation. Extrusion typically begins with a machine kneading and then forming a pasta shell under high pressure through a custom die. Concurrently, the chicken/vegetable filling and broth move through the extruder in separate streams allowing for two distinct fillings one inside the other (e.g., broth inside chicken), filling approximately 75% of the pasta shell's volume allowing room for closing. The product is simultaneously cut and sealed at a suitable length.02-19-2009

20090023189APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PREPARATION OF SUBTANTIALLY UNIFORM EMULSIONS CONTAINING A PARTICLE - Methods and systems for forming water-in-oil emulsions are described. For example, an apparatus is described which includes: a first compartment containing a plurality of particles dispersed in an aqueous phase; a second compartment containing an oil phase; a porous layer separating the first and second compartments; and a device for applying pressure to the first compartment. A method is described which includes: moving an oil phase relative to a surface of a porous layer while simultaneously forcing an aqueous composition comprising particles through the porous layer and into the flowing dispersion medium thereby forming droplets of the aqueous composition containing particles dispersed in the oil phase. The aqueous composition can include one or more nucleic acid templates and reagents for amplifying the nucleic acids such as PCR reagents. A porous partition is described comprising a first and second major surfaces and at least two straight through pores comprising a cross sectional shape selected from a polygon, an oval, an oblong, a dumbbell, a bowtie and irregular shapes thereof. Aqueous droplets containing an oligonucleotide attached to a particle and reagents can be used as a microreactor for nucleic acid amplification.01-22-2009

20090079189PIPE CLAMP WITH INTEGRAL LATCH - A pipe clamp that enables two pipes to be loosely connected together in a desired axially-aligned and rotationally-aligned configuration prior to tightening of the clamp. The pipe clamp includes a band having a first end and a second end, and a tightening mechanism connected to the band for drawing the ends of the band together. The pipe clamp further includes a latch having a base portion attached to the band and a clip portion that snaps over a button welded to the pipe to temporarily hold the clamp in place on the pipe.03-26-2009
