| 20090119617 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE ARRANGEMENTS OF WINDOWS ON A DISPLAY - One aspect of the present invention includes management of the presentation of information on a display. In one embodiment, this includes defining a delimited area on the display for a predetermined activity, and identifying a new application, which when active, comprises an active location on the display that covers some or all of the delimited area. When the new application covers some or all of the delimited area, the active location of the new application is automatically changed so that the new application will not cover any of the delimited area. Accordingly, the delimited area of the display can be preserved for uninterrupted use by a user. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090276286 | MEASURING PRODUCT CONSUMABILITY - Product consumability can be measured by recording customer interaction with customer support mechanisms and mapping the resulting data into consumability characteristics. The consumability characteristics correspond to specific customer experiences with various features and processes throughout the product lifecycle. Through an examination of data mapped into the various consumability characteristics, the vendor or manufacturer can focus on improving features or processes associated with the product. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090319317 | Or Relating To A Method and System for Testing - A method of evaluating a cost associated with a test scenario, which test scenario comprises one or more branches making up a use case, the method comprising the steps of: determining a first parameter based on the complexity of the use case; determining a second parameter which indicates the criticality of the use case; determining a third parameter which indicates an execution cost of each action and decision point of the use case; determining a fourth parameter which indicates the priority of each branch of the use case; determining a fifth parameter which indicates the classification of each test parameter for each branch of the use case; determining a cost associated with the test scenario, based on a predetermined calculation using two or more of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth parameters. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20090247423 | Compositions and Methods Relating to Elutable Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins - Compositions and methods are provided for creating and identifying mutant carbohydrate-binding proteins that reversibly bind to carbohydrate substrates under conditions where the native protein remains bound. Examples of modified chitin-binding domains are provided which can be eluted from chitin in the presence of a reducing agent or at a pH within the range of 5-10. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090305342 | Solubilization and Purification of a Target Protein fused to a Mutant Maltose-Binding Protein - Methods and compositions are provided for increasing at least one of: (i) binding affinity of a target protein for a maltodextrin substrate and/or (ii) solubility of a target protein. The methods and compositions relate to a modified maltose-binding protein. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100240099 | rBSA from K. lactis Expression, Secretion and Purification of Recombinant Bovine Serum Albumin (rBSA) from K. lactis and uses thereof - A recombinant BSA (rBSA) that (a) substantially lacks deoxyribonuclease activity as determined by incubating rBSA with linear DNA overnight and gel electrophoresis, (b) lacks animal viruses associated with animal-derived cell growth supplements; and (c) is capable of stabilizing DNA proteins is provided. Methods for making the rBSA and using it to stabilize enzymes are also provided. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110020911 | SOLUBILIZATION AND PURIFICATION OF A TARGET PROTEIN FUSED TO A MUTANT MALTOSE-BINDING PROTEIN - Methods and compositions are provided for increasing at least one of: (i) binding affinity of a target protein for a maltodextrin substrate and/or (ii) solubility of a target protein. The methods and compositions relate to a modified maltose-binding protein. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110071280 | Methods and Compositions for Concentrating Secreted Recombinant Proteins - Methods and compositions are described that relate to obtaining concentrated preparations of secreted recombinant proteins. These proteins are expressed in the form of fusion proteins with a chitin-binding domain (CBD). The fusion proteins are capable of being concentrated in the presence of chitin. Also described is: a shuttle vector that includes a modified LAC4 promoter; a chitinase-negative host cell; a CBD capable of eluting from chitin under non-denaturing conditions; and sterilized chitin, which can be optionally magnetized for facilitating recovery of recombinant protein. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110269202 | Genetically Engineered Yeast for the Production of Biofuels - Compositions and methods are provided for generating biofuels by fermentation from carbon sources other than glucose using genetically engineered yeast strains. For example, a | 11-03-2011 |
| 20120028305 | Solubilization and Purification of a Target Protein Fused to a Mutant Maltose-Binding Protein - Methods and compositions are provided that relate to a composition that includes a modified maltose-binding protein (MBP) which when fused to a protein results in an increase in binding affinity for maltodextrin compared with the wild type MBP fused to the protein, the modified MBP maintaining enhanced solubility, The modification includes a mutation selected from the group consisting of: F68L, I318V, Q326R, V344M, and T | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120107877 | Methods and Compositions for Concentrating Secreted Recombinant Protein - Methods and compositions are described that relate to obtaining concentrated preparations of secreted recombinant proteins. These proteins are expressed in the form of fusion proteins with a chitin-binding domain (CBD). The fusion proteins are capable of being concentrated in the presence of chitin. Also described is: a shuttle vector that includes a modified LAC4 promoter; a chitinase-negative host cell; a CBD capable of eluting from chitin under non-denaturing conditions; and sterilized chitin, which can be optionally magnetized for facilitating recovery of recombinant protein. | 05-03-2012 |
