| 20100018876 | ELECTROCHEMICAL METHOD TO MEASURE DNA ATTACHMENT TO AN ELECTRODE SURFACE IN THE PRESENCE OF MOLECULAR OXYGEN - The present disclosure provides methods and compositions for conducting an assay to detect a polynucleotide. In particular, ruthenium complexes having reduction potentials that do not coincide with the reduction potential of molecular oxygen are disclosed and amperometric techniques for their use are described. In preferred embodiments, the ruthenium complex is ruthenium (III) pentaamine pyridine and the polynucleotide that is detected is DNA. Further, techniques for enhancing detectable contrast between hybridized and unhybridized nucleic acids are disclosed. In particular, the use of elongated target strands as well as the use of uncharged probe strands are discussed. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20100153058 | GEOMETRIC INSPECTION OF MACHINED OBJECTS - A method and apparatus may be present for inspecting an object. A plurality of locations associated with a plurality of operations performed by a tool on the object may be tracked. The plurality of locations is tracked while the plurality of operations is performed on the object. A path for the tool may be mapped using the plurality of locations to form a tool path. The tool path may be compared to a model of the object. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100161094 | CONFORMING COMPONENTS USING REVERSE ENGINEERING - A method for conforming components may comprise measuring a first component using a conforming tool, and recording position data for the first component based on the measuring. A path for the conforming tool may be provided using the position data, and a second component may be modified by moving the same conforming tool based on the provided path. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161100 | COMPONENT REPAIR USING REVERSE ENGINEERING - A method for modifying a component may comprise measuring the component using a modifying tool, and recording position data for the component based on the measuring. A path for the modifying tool may be provided using the position data, and the component may be modified by moving the same modifying tool based on the provided path. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110119919 | Determinant Assembly System for Manufacturing Objects - A Method and apparatus may be present for processing parts. A first part may be positioned in a first position. A first number of features may be formed on the first part using a feature forming system at a number of points for attachment to a second part. The second part may be positioned in a second position relative to the first position for assembly of the first part with the second part. A second number of features may be formed on the second part at the number of points for attachment to the first part using the feature forming system. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110200245 | INTEGRATION OF MANUFACTURING CONTROL FUNCTIONS USING A MULTI-FUNCTIONAL VISION SYSTEM - A manufacturing control system comprises a vision system for viewing operations within a manufacturing area and for producing vision data representing the viewed operations. A systems control analyzes the vision data, and controls at least two control functions related to the manufacturing operations based on the analyzed vision data. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20120073738 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LAYING UP BARREL-SHAPED COMPOSITE STRUCTURES - A body-of-revolution composite structure is fabricated by providing an OML mold having an interior tool surface on which a composite layup may be formed and moving a manipulator through the interior of the mold. An end-effector on the manipulator is used to apply composite material to the tool surface, and is moved circumferentially over the tool surface. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20080262950 | Method and system for processing payments - A payment processing method and system is described which involves serially processing remittance documents, e.g. financial instruments, remittances, and associated documents obtained from diverse sources, electronically scanning the financial instruments and other remittance documents, thereby converting the information contained thereon into a digital format. The digital information is passed through a series of software programs and associated hardware that read the scanned financial instruments, remittances, and other documents, and compares the information obtained with preexisting information about the payor, detects errors, and the like automatically, with minimal human intervention. It also allows the information to be corrected and passed to a check encoding machine or process which imparts desired information on said checks before they are sent to a bank for deposit. | 10-23-2008 |
