| 20110064447 | OBTAINING PRESSURE OF AN OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OF A BI-DIRECTIONALLY SCANNING ELECTROGRAPHIC DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTING CORRECTIONS PER PRESSURE - Methods and apparatus include improving print quality of a bi-directionally scanning electrophotographic (EP) device, such as a laser printer or copy machine, according to ambient pressure in which operated. A moving galvanometer or oscillator reflects a laser beam to create scan lines of a latent image in opposite directions. A damping of the motion occurs per air density implicated by temperature and pressure, where the pressure changes occurring especially from altitude changes. During use, a drive signal, such as a pulse train, moves the galvanometer or oscillator at or near its resonant frequency. Based on a parameter of the drive signal, such as pulse width, the ambient pressure can be made known. In general, a high-pressure environment requires a relatively longer pulse width to resonate the galvanometer or oscillator in comparison to a shorter pulse width for a low-pressure environment. Corrections to print quality stem from the determined ambient pressure. | 03-17-2011 |

The connection mechanism defines a connection slot usable during retaining wall fabrication (by allowing easy connection to the reinforcing grid) while also accommodating holding and lifting of the block assembly. Due to the fabrication method, the configuration of the connection mechanisms inserted into the block can be uniquely designed to provide desired physical coupling once the concrete is hardened. This further allows the use of different materials and different structures to provide the desired strength and allow the use of optimal materials. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20110013986 | Method For Sequestering Carbon Dioxide In Geological Formations - A method for enhancing the storage of carbon dioxide underground. The method comprises locating a geological formation comprising a first storage reservoir having a first surface and a second surface, a first seal layer adjacent the first surface of the first storage reservoir, a second seal layer adjacent the second surface of the first storage reservoir, and a second storage reservoir adjacent the first seal layer opposite the first storage reservoir; directing carbon dioxide into the first storage reservoir, the carbon dioxide being at a first pressure within the first storage reservoir; directing a fluid into the second storage reservoir, the fluid being at a second pressure within the second storage reservoir; and maintaining the second pressure at generally the same or larger pressure than the first pressure of the carbon dioxide to reduce leakage of CO | 01-20-2011 |

| 20100062426 | AGR2 and TFF3 Regulation in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer - A method for assessing tumor progression is described by assessing AGR2 and/or TFF3 expression in a biological sample after induction of a physiological stress, such as hypoxia or serum deprivation in an enriched sample. Assessing the role of these indicators and their expression levels in an enriched CTC sample provides diagnostic and prognositic information on a patient. This method is also useful as a pharmatool in drug discovery. | 03-11-2010 |
