| 20110186198 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED TREAD SPLICING - A method of cutting a length of tire tread for a retread tire includes measuring a circumference of the tire casing and cushion gum, and dispensing a length of tire tread from a roll based on the measured circumference. The length of tire tread relative to a tread cutter is adjusted so that the tire tread design at the point where the tread may be cut is between a set of marks formed in the periodically repeating tread design. The tread is then cut along a linear length of the tread disposed within the marks so that the periodically repeating tread pattern appears substantially continuous across a seam defined when the section of tire tread is wrapped around the casing such that the first and second ends meet in abutting relationship. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20080206757 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DETECTING RARE CELLS FROM A BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE - The present invention provides methods and compositions for isolating and detecting rare cells from a biological sample containing other types of cells. In particular, the present invention includes a debulking step that uses a microfabricated filters for filtering fluid samples and the enriched rare cells can be used in a downstream process such as identifies, characterizes or even grown in culture or used in other ways. The invention also include a method of determining the aggressiveness of the tumor or of the number or proportion of cancer cells in the enriched sample by detecting the presence or amount of telomerase activity or telomerase nucleic acid or telomerase expression after enrichment of rare cells. This invention further provides an efficient and rapid method to specifically remove red blood cells as well as white blood cells from a biological sample containing at least one of each of red blood cells and white blood cells, resulting in the enrichment of rare target cells including circulating tumor cells (CTC), stromal cells, mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells, fetal cells, stem cells, non-hematopoietic cells etc from a blood sample. The method is based upon combination of immuno-microparticles (antibody coated microparticles) and density-based separation. The final enriched target cells can be subjected to a variety of analysis and manipulations, such as flowcytometry, PCR, immunofluorescence, immunocytochemistry, image analysis, enzymatic assays, gene expression profiling analysis, efficacy tests of therapeutics, culturing of enriched rare cells, and therapeutic use of enriched rare cells. In addition, depleted plasma protein and white blood cells can be optionally recovered, and subjected to other analysis such as inflammation studies, gene expression profiling, etc. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20110307033 | CHARGE LEVEL MEASUREMENT - This disclosure describes techniques for estimating an amount of charge on a power source. A processor may determine an uncertainty value associated with a first charge level of a power source and an uncertainty value associated with a second charge level of the power source. Based on the uncertainties, the processor may adjust the first charge level to generate an adjusted charge level. The processor may further adjust the adjusted charge level based on the behavior of the power source. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20090249267 | CONSTRAINED RANDOM SIMULATION COVERAGE CLOSURE GUIDED BY A COVER PROPERTY - One embodiment of the present invention provides a system which verifies a circuit design by biasing input stimuli for the circuit design to satisfy one or more temporal coverage properties to be verified for the circuit design. This system performs a simulation in which random input stimuli are applied to the circuit design. The system performs the simulation by using a finite state automaton (FSA) instance for a temporal coverage property to observe inputs and outputs of the circuit, and by using soft constraints associated with the FSA instance to bias the input stimuli for the circuit design so that the simulation is likely to progress through a sequence of states which satisfy the temporal coverage property. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090319252 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING ASSUME PROPERTIES FROM A CONSTRAINED RANDOM TEST-BENCH - One embodiment of the present invention provides systems and techniques to extract assume properties from a constrained random test-bench. During operation, the system can receive a constrained random test-bench for verifying the design-under-test (DUT), wherein the constrained random test-bench includes a statement which assigns a random value to a random variable according to a constraint. Next, the system can modify the constrained random test-bench by replacing the statement with another statement which assigns a free input variable's value to the random variable. The system can also add a statement to the constrained random test-bench that toggles a marker variable to localize the scope of the statement. The system can then generate an assume property which models the constraint on the free input variable. The assume property can then be used by a formal property verification tool to verify the DUT. | 12-24-2009 |
