| 20090157818 | METHOD TO IDENTIFY AND DISPLAY CONTRIBUTIONS BY AUTHOR IN AN E-MAIL COMPRISING MULTIPLE AUTHORS - A method, system and computer program product for displaying authorship and time stamp data within an electronic mail (e-mail) message comprising multiple contributors. The recipient of a multiple author e-mail may view an e-mail inclusive or exclusive of an author's comments. The e-mail client is capable of identifying the author and insertion date of content included within an e-mail message by hovering on or near the word(s)/or phrase utilizing a pointing device. E-mail content may be viewed in chronological order of contribution(s) as selected by the recipient. Contributed content may be displayed chronologically, or color coordinated to avoid displacing key information. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090204887 | MANAGING WHITE SPACE IN A PORTAL WEB PAGE - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to web page layout and provide a novel and non-obvious system for managing white space in a web page. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for managing white space in a web page includes detecting white space adjacent to a non-rectangular shaped portlet rendered on the web page. The method further includes measuring a non-rectangular shape of the white space and selecting a graphic having a shape congruent with the shape of the white space. The method further includes rendering the graphic that was selected into the white space. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20110157219 | AUTOMATIC TARGETING OF BROWSER CONTENT TO OPTIMAL RENDERING ENGINE - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for content driven selection of a rendering engine. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for or content driven selection of a rendering engine can include retrieving content for display in a content browser executing in memory by a processor of a host computer, mapping at least one directive embedded in the retrieved content to a target rendering engine, selecting the target rendering engine for rendering the content, and passing the content to the selected target rendering engine. In this regard, in an aspect of the embodiment, multiple directives embedded in the retrieved content can be mapped, each to one of a selection of different target rendering engines, and a most often mapped one of the target rendering engines can be selected for rendering the content. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110028195 | FANTASY SPORTS LEAGUES COMPRISING HISTORICAL PLAYERS AND/OR HISTORICAL RESULTS - Computer-based fantasy sports leagues portraying games between historical players with contest outcomes based in part on the performance of those players in historical games and game results, typically with related network and user interfaces. The fantasy sports game can be a fantasy football game. In one embodiment, the historical data includes statistical information related to previous, historical real-life athletes and specific, real-life actual games played by those players. The games can be structured such that specified time periods of the athletes are incorporated into the operational considerations, and can include a fantasy drafting process by the human players wherein selections of the available real-life historical athletes are made. The historical fantasy game comprises methods, systems, programming, etc., comprising associated instructions and operations for displaying the sports video game characters for the fantasy game. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20100245805 | Methods of Measuring The Refractive Index Profile of a Transparent Cylindrical Object - Methods of measuring the refractive index profile of a transparent cylindrical object, such as a fiber preform, are disclosed. The methods include transmitting light rays through the cylindrical object in a direction transverse to the central axis at different heights and measuring the deflection angles to define a measured deflection function ψ | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110088433 | Methods For Drawing Multimode Bend Resistant Optical Fiber - According to one embodiment, a method for characterizing a multimode, bend resistant optical fiber may include determining a core refractive index profile for a core portion of a preform and determining a moat refractive index profile for a moat portion of the preform. Thereafter, a property of a multimode optical fiber is determined prior to drawing the multimode optical fiber from the preform. The property of the multimode fiber is determined based on the core refractive index profile of the preform, the moat refractive index profile of the preform, the inner radius r | 04-21-2011 |

| 20080246058 | GALLIUM NITRIDE MATERIAL TRANSISTORS AND METHODS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME - Gallium nitride material transistors and methods associated with the same are provided. The transistors may be used in power applications by amplifying an input signal to produce an output signal having increased power. The transistors may be designed to transmit the majority of the output signal within a specific transmission channel (defined in terms of frequency), while minimizing transmission in adjacent channels. This ability gives the transistors excellent linearity which results in high signal quality and limits errors in transmitted data. The transistors may be designed to achieve low ACPR values (a measure of excellent linearity), while still operating at high drain efficiencies and/or high output powers. Such properties enable the transistors to be used in RF power applications including third generation (3G) power applications based on W-CDMA modulation. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20100171691 | VIEWING IMAGES WITH TILT CONTROL ON A HAND-HELD DEVICE - A user interface suitable for use in cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), PC Tablets, as well as laptops, PCs, office equipment, medical equipment, or any other hand-held electronic device, that allows control of the image on the device display by tilting the device to either change the view in perspective, change the magnification, or both, concurrently, by moving the device. Thus, the tilt of the device controls the angle of view of the image, and moving the device perpendicular to the screen controls the magnification. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20110036683 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PACKAGING AN UNDERGARMENT - The present invention includes a system and method for packaging an undergarment that as a result of the packaging, the undergarment requires a substantially small amount of storage space that can be carried discretely on ones person during active times, and/or easily purchased when out on the go. The undergarment packaging system packages the undergarment so that it consumes a relatively small amount of space so that it can be easily and conveniently sold and/or vended to consumers in locations where they would most need them, for example in restrooms, gyms, spas, glove-compartments in cars, in airports, and the like. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20110237781 | METHOD OF PREPARING ALPHA-1 PROTEINASE INHIBITOR - Purification of α-1 proteinase inhibitor (α-1 PI) from solutions comprising α-1 PI is accomplished using hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC). In some embodiments, purification of α-1 PI is accomplished by precipitation of contaminating proteins from a starting solution comprising α-1 PI, such as human plasma, followed by anion exchange resin chromatography prior to HIC. Further purification may be accomplished by an optional cation exchange chromatography subsequent to anion exchange chromatography but prior to HIC. Some embodiments of the invention also include virus removal and/or inactivation by methods such as nano filtration and such as contact with a non-ionic detergent. The methods of the present invention result in greater yield, purity, and pathogenic clearance of plasma fractions than known methods. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20100229457 | Fish magnet portable FAD (Fish Aggregating Device) - A panel of fabric, 40 sq. ft. or more in size, held in shape by a floating collapsible frame that is easily and quickly assembled and disassembled, for the purpose of aggregating free-swimming gamefish into the immediate area of the invention. The invention collapses into a very small package, so that one or more can be easily stored and transported on a boat. The device also incorporates a chum bag underneath to enhance the fish attracting properties by first attracting bait. It is designed to be free-floating or attached to a drifting or anchored boat, thereby bringing gamefish within casting distance. No existing FAD is portable and compact, as they are pre-assembled or made for permanent deployment. | 09-16-2010 |
