| 20100208143 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR BOOSTING DYNAMIC RANGE IN DIGITAL IMAGES - A method for increasing dynamic range of original image data representing an image comprises applying an expansion function to generate from the original image data expanded data having a dynamic range greater than that of the original image data and, obtaining an expand map comprising data indicative of a degree of luminance of regions associated with pixels in the image. The method then combines the original image data and the expanded data according to the expand map to yield enhanced image data. Apparatus for boosting the dynamic range of image data comprises a dynamic range expander that produces expanded data, a luminance analyzer that produces an expand map and a combiner that combines the original and expanded data according to a variable weighting provided by the expand map. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20110049035 | FILTER ASSEMBLY - A filter assembly is provided for removing entrained material from a fluid stream. The assembly includes a manifold with a port through which the fluid is received into or removed from the assembly, and a housing into which is inserted a tubular filter element having walls of a filtration medium. The housing and the manifold have joining formations which allow them to be joined together and separated apart by relative rotation. The filter element has an end cap thereon which sealingly engages with the manifold. The end cap has an opening therein which accepts fluid received through the port and feeds the fluid into the interior of the filter element or which accepts fluid received from the interior of the filter element and feeds the fluid to the port. The filter element is insertable into the housing along the axial direction of the filter element. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20110108126 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GAS FLOW CONTROL - A method and apparatus for self-calibrating control of gas flow. The gas flow rate is initially set by controlling, to a high degree of precision, the amount of opening of a flow restriction, where the design of the apparatus containing the flow restriction lends itself to achieving high precision. The gas flow rate is then measured by a pressure rate-of-drop upstream of the flow restriction, and the amount of flow restriction opening is adjusted, if need be, to obtain exactly the desired flow. | 05-12-2011 |

| 20100099091 | GENETIC COMPONENT OF COMPLICATIONS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES - The invention provides with means to predict, in subjects affected by type 2 diabetes (T2D), the probability of developing complications related to the disease. The invention involves 1) use of genetic features (SNPs, STRs, or other genomic markers) together with other chromosomal features and phenotypic information to establish a patient profile specifically developed for prediction of complications of T2D 2) use of a set of SNPs allowing to discriminate between individuals according to their descent. A preferred set of genomic markers selected for their association with complications of T2D is provided that can be used with a set of complementary phenotypic markers to evaluate the risk for an individual affected by T2D to develop complications related to the disease and to evaluate the likelihood that an individual affected by T2D type will benefit from treatments reducing the risk of developing such complications. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100136540 | Methods and compositions for characterizing patients for clinical outcome trials - The invention provides with methods for characterizing and selecting, within a population of subjects with type-2 diabetes, subjects that are suited for clinical trials based on the identification of one or more genetic features, which are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), short tandem repeats (STRs), and/or other genomic markers. The invention further involves characterizing these subjects based on the probability of developing complications related to type-2 diabetes, such as, myocardial infarction, stroke and albuminuria. Also described are combinations and kits for carrying out the above-described methods. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100028226 | EXTRACTION OF URANIUM FROM WET-PROCESS PHOSPHORIC ACID - A process for the extraction of uranium compounds from wet-process phosphoric acid includes lowering the iron concentration of the wet-process phosphoric acid and reducing the valency of any remaining ferric iron in the wet-process phosphoric acid to ferrous iron, and then extracting uranium compounds from the wet-process phosphoric acid. The process can include separating a side stream from a feed stream of wet-process phosphoric acid, wherein the side stream has a greater concentration of the uranium compounds than the feed stream by filtration. Extracting uranium compounds from the wet-process phosphoric acid can be by ion exchange process or by solvent extraction. | 02-04-2010 |
