20110313657Context-Sensitive Point of Interest Retrieval - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on one or more computer storage devices, for context sensitive point of interest retrieval. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a current location of a user's electronic device and retrieving multiple points of interest within a predetermined distance to the current location. Each point of interest is ranked based on the point of interest's proximity to the current location and one or more time-related attributes associated with the point of interest. Data identifying one or more of the points of interest is provided to the electronic device for presentation to the user on a display of the electronic device based on the ranking.12-22-2011

20120036562Trusted License Removal in a Content Protection System or the Like - A digital license includes an identification of a removal service that can authorize removing such license. A client selects the license to be removed and the service, constructs a challenge including therein a challenge license identification block (LIB) identifying the license to be removed, and sends the challenge to the service. The service receives the challenge, stores at least a portion of the challenge in a database, constructs a response corresponding to the challenge and including therein a response LIB identifying the license to be removed and an identification of the service, and sends the response to the client. The client receives the response, employs the response LIB from the response to identify the license to be removed, and removes the identified license upon confirming that the identification of the service in the identified license matches the identification of the service in the response.02-09-2012

20080264947FOOD PACKAGE WITH LID - A food package has a container and a lid. The lid includes a planar surface and a convex dome that is above the planar surface. A transparent window in the convex dome attracts the attention of consumers since it is raised relative to the remainder of the lid. The lid also includes a concave dome that frames a raised logo or raised text within the dome. By framing the logo, the concave dome helps to direct a consumer's attention to the logo or text and helps to protect the logo or text from wear.10-30-2008
20110200716LID AND CONTAINER - A container lid comprises a top, substantially planar surface, means for coupling with a top of a container, a depressed area, a raised area, and a hinge area. The top, substantially planar surface is elongated to define two opposite longitudinal edges and two opposite lateral edges, and each of the two opposite lateral edges extends between and is shorter than each of the two longitudinal edges. The depressed area is surrounded by and extends below the top, substantially planar surface. The raised area is surrounded by and extends above the top, substantially planar surface. The raised area is positioned nearest one of the two opposite lateral edges and the depressed area is positioned nearest the other one of the two opposite lateral edges. The hinge area extends laterally across the top, substantially planar surface and is positioned between the depressed area and the raised area.08-18-2011

20110264720CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEM, METHOD AND MULTIPLIER - In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a multiplier that includes a set of multiple multipliers configured in parallel where the set of multiple multipliers have access to a first operand and a second operand to multiply, the first operand having multiple segments and the second operand having multiple segments. The multiplier also includes logic to repeatedly supply a single segment of the second operand to each multiplier of the set of multiple multipliers and to supply multiple respective segments of the first operand to the respective ones of the set of multiple multipliers until each segment of the second operand has been supplied with each segment of the first operand. The logic shifts the output of different ones of the set of multiple multipliers based, at least in part, on the position of the respective segments within the first operand. The multiplier also includes an accumulator coupled to the logic.10-27-2011

20120090047MAIZE CYTOPLASMIC MALE STERILITY (CMS) C-TYPE RESTORER RF4 GENE, MOLECULAR MARKERS AND THEIR USE - This disclosure concerns high-resolution mapping and candidate gene cloning of Rf4, a maize restorer of fertility gene that restores fertility to C-type cytoplasmic male sterility. The disclosure also relates to molecular markers that are tightly-linked to, or reside within, the Rf4 gene. In some embodiments, methods are provided whereby hybrid seeds may be produced from crosses of a male plant comprising nucleic acid molecular markers that are linked to or that reside within the Rf4 gene and a female plant carrying C-type CMS.04-12-2012

20080300032Golf Solitaire Video Game - A Golf Solitaire Video Game is described in which a user plays a video playing card game. Playing cards are positioned in piles where one pile initially contains only a home playing card. The playing cards on top of the piles and the home playing card reveal their front sides, and the playing cards that are positioned in the pile below the top playing card display their back sides or front sides. The game player moves the playing cards onto the home card in a contiguous order of the symbols on the cards. The back sides of the playing cards, underneath the removed top playing cards, are revealed when the top playing cards are placed on the home playing card. A score is provided corresponding to a number of cards that remain in the one or more piles after placing playing cards onto the home playing card in the contiguous order.12-04-2008
20080300035Clear Path Electronic Game - A clear path electronic game is described in which one or more vessels are placed adjacent a mines of various sizes on rows of a grid. The game player then activates one mine at a maximum size to shoot a projectile at another mine. The mine shooting the projectile is removed. When the projectile hits the mine, the mine either grows or is removed from the grid. In response to the mine on the row adjacent one of the vessels being removed, the vessel is moved in its row across the former location of the removed mine. The vessel continues to move in the row off of the grid unless there is another mine in the row. Points are awarded for removing vessels and mines. Play ends when all maximum size mines are removed and when there are not vessels of the first type that has been removed from the grid.12-04-2008

20100261161Method for determining the specific growth rate of a distinct cell population within a non-homogeneous system - The present invention provides a method for measuring the specific rate of ribosome synthesis for a distinct cell population, such as a distinct microbial population. For an actively growing (or non-growing) culture, the specific rate of ribosome synthesis is identical to the specific growth rate of the culture. With the method of the invention, researchers will be able to measure the specific growth rate of distinct cell populations in mixed cultures, such as biological reactor systems or environmental samples. In addition, the method of the invention provides the ability to identify members of a distinct cell population that are rapidly growing.10-14-2010
20110212443Method for determining the specific growth rate of distinct microbial populations in a non-homogeneous system - The present invention pertains to a molecular biology-based method and kit for measuring the specific growth rate (or cell doubling time) of distinct microbial populations. The method and kit can be used to analyze mixed culture samples that have been exposed to chloramphenicol or other protein synthesis inhibitors for defined times. In a preferred embodiment, the method of the invention (also referred to herein as FISH-RiboSyn) is an in situ method that utilizes fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes that target: (1) the 5′ or 3′ end of precursor 16S rRNA; or (2) the interior region of both precursor 16S rRNA and mature 16S rRNA. Images can be captured for a defined exposure time and the average fluorescent intensity for individual cells can be determined. The rate of increase of the whole cell fluorescent intensity is used to determine the specific growth rate. The method of the invention can be attractive for rapidly measuring the specific growth rate (or cell doubling time) of distinct microbial populations within a mixed culture in industries such as environmental systems (water and wastewater treatment systems), bioremediation (optimization of conditions for microbial growth), public health (identification of rapidly growing infectious microbes), and homeland security (identification of rapidly growing bioterrorism agents).09-01-2011
