| 20080307798 | Cryogenic liquid tank and method - A tank and method for containing a cryogenic liquid in which a purge gas is introduced into an insulation space defined between an outer vessel and an inner vessel to contain insulation material. The inner vessel is used to contain the cryogenic liquid. The purge gas can be cryogenic vapor evolved from the liquid and routed into the insulation space. Control of the purge gas within the insulation space can be provided by a programmable logic controller in which purge gas is vented from the insulation space should the pressure be indicative of a leak within the inner vessel and purge gas is introduced into the insulation space should the pressure be below the ambient to maintain a positive purge gas pressure. An adsorbent bed can also be located within the insulation space to adsorb any moisture. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20100179057 | PRODUCTION OF ACTIVATED CHAR USING HOT GAS - A gas mixture preheated to high temperatures using an oxy-fuel, an oxygen-enriched air-fuel or an air-fuel burner is used to devolatilize and partially oxidize carbonaceous feedstock, thereby producing an active residual char that can be used in applications utilizing activated carbon. Use of hot gas and ground carbonaceous feedstock allows the equipment to be minimized, thereby allowing the activated carbon to be produced at or near points of use, for example the production of activated char at or near utility boilers for use in the reduction of mercury emissions from flue gas streams. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100233052 | MERCURY ADSORBENTS COMPATIBLE AS CEMENT ADDITIVES - Solid adsorbents, following their use for mercury removal from flue gas, that do not interfere with the ability of air-entraining additives (such as surfactants) to form stable bubbles when added to fly ash containing the adsorbents. The interference is overcome by heating the materials used in the manufacture of the adsorbent so that magnesium hydroxide and/or one or more alkali compounds containing one or more silicate, aluminate, and/or phosphate moiety, added or already present in the materials, binds multivalent cations present in the materials that could otherwise interfere with the surfactant activity. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20090193430 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR TRACKING INTERACTIVE TEXT-MESSAGE COMMUNICATIONS - Methods, program products and systems are provided for selectively synchronizing and tracking networked or internet communication message items. An interactive communication application presents a message entry interface enabling a user to select a discrete question for tracking, creating tracking thread. The message is presented by visually distinguishing the tracked question from a remainder of message items, and the thread is updated in response to a reply message comprising a linked answer. A secondary tracking display interface presents thread pluralities and enables a user to select and resend an unanswered question or an unacknowledged answer. An answer may be automatically or explicitly linked to a question. Selecting or linking a question or answer may be effected through a cursor routine or special text string inputs, and the special text string inputs may be user defined. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20100216703 | Inhibitors of PDE4 and Methods of Use - The inventors have succeeded in discovering that the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is directly involved in the degradation of cAMP via interaction of its intracellular domain with phosphodiesterase 4A4/5 (PDE4A4/5). Provided herein are methods and compositions for the treatment of conditions of PDE4A4/5 and p75NTR expression (such as pulmonary disease and nerve regeneration) by blocking the interaction of PDE4A4/5 and p75NTR, as well as methods for the screening of agents useful in such applications. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20090136176 | OPTICAL FIBER MODE COUPLING DEVICE, HAVING AN OPTIMIZED FIBER INTERFACE AND METHOD OF FABRICATION THEREOF - An optical fiber mode coupling device, capable of being readily connected to a conventional optical fiber with a high degree of ruggedness, is provided. The inventive mode coupling device only allows transmission of at least one supported fiber mode therethrough, and is preferably configured to maximize the coupling, of at least one desired fiber mode, to the at least one supported fiber mode. Advantageously, the inventive mode coupling device is capable of performing the functions of a mode filter for the signal entering its first end, or serving as a mode conditioner for the signal entering its opposite second end. Thus, in one practical application thereof, the novel mode coupling device functions as a mode filter by maximizing the coupling between at least one desired fiber mode of a multi-mode input signal entering the device's first end, and at least one supported mode of the device, to produce an output signal at the device's second end that comprises at least one predetermined fiber mode, corresponding to at least one desired fiber mode. In another practical application thereof, the novel mode coupling device functions as a mode conditioner by maximizing the coupling between an input signal, comprising at least one predetermined fiber mode, that enters the device's second end, and, and at least one supported mode of the device, to produce an output signal at the device's first end that comprises at least one desired fiber mode, corresponding to a conditioned at least one predetermined fiber mode. | 05-28-2009 |
