| 20100321715 | METHODS AND STRUCTURE FOR PRESERVING NODE ORDER WHEN STORING XML DATA IN A KEY-VALUE DATA STRUCTURE - Methods and apparatus for processing XML data in a printing system by translating the XML data into corresponding entries in a key-value data structure that includes information regarding the original order of the XML nodes in the XML data. In one exemplary embodiment, XML nodes in a JDF job ticket are processed by a parser program in the printing system to translate the XML node into entries of a Postscript dictionary data structure. A key value in each entry encodes the ordinal position of the corresponding printing parameter in the JDF job ticket. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20100139184 | GREEN ROOF TILE SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE - Green roof systems are provided comprising a plurality of tile sheets. Each tile sheet in turn may comprise a plurality of tiles. The tiles are connected to one another by one or more bridges. The tile sheets may be disposed above a layer of growing medium. The tiles are spaced apart from one another so as to form a channel between each tile. The channels formed between the adjacent tiles are contiguous with neighboring channels and are arranged so as to form a circuitous pathway for water runoff. The channels so formed allow plant growth between each tile. Advantages of certain embodiments include improved strength, reduced weight, reduced costs, increased life spans, reduced maintenance, easier installation, improved building energy conservation, reduced urban island heat effect, improved sound insulation, improved water retention, improved environmental aspects, improved irrigation, and reduced erosion of the growing medium. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090279126 | JDF PROCESSING IN A PRINTING SYSTEM - Print controllers and associated methods of processing JDF job tickets in a printing system are disclosed. A print controller in one embodiment includes a storage system that receives a printable file from a host system, and stores the printable file. The print controller further comprises a JDF interpreter that receives a Job Definition Format (JDF) job ticket that is associated with the printable file from the host system. The JDF interpreter parses the JDF job ticket to identify printing parameters defined for the printable file. The JDF interpreter then issues device control commands for the printing parameters in the JDF job ticket. Thus, JDF job ticket processing is performed in the printing system instead of in the host system. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090282412 | MULTI-LAYER WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE - A multi-layer workflow architecture for a print shop is disclosed. The workflow architecture includes a workflow front end, service bus, and service providers. The workflow front end provides an interface to print shop operators. The service providers are each associated with a device in the print shop. The service bus represents the layer between the workflow front end and the service providers. In operation, the service providers report device capabilities for devices to the service bus. The workflow front end receives the device capabilities from the service bus, and provides the device capabilities to a user to allow the user to define a job ticket based on the device capabilities. The service bus identifies the processes defined in the job ticket, and identifies the service providers operable to provide the processes. The service bus then routes process messages to the identified service providers to execute the processes on the devices. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100085590 | JOB-TICKET OPTIMIZED RENDERING - A print controller in a printing system includes a reprogrammable page description language (PDL) processor that defines a page-break function. The print controller also includes a job ticket interpreter. The print controller receives a printable file in the page description language that contains logical pages indicated by page-break indicators. The job ticket interpreter receives a job ticket associated with the printable file and containing layout parameters for the logical pages. The job ticket interpreter re-defines the page-break function in the PDL processor so that the print controller prints a plurality of the logical pages without referencing the job ticket for each page. In some embodiments, the PDL processor is a PostScript processor and the job ticket interpreter is a JDF interpreter encoded as a PostScript program interpreted by the PostScript interpreter. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100085594 | PRINTER-RESIDENT DEFAULT JOB TICKET - A print controller in a printing system includes a storage system that stores a default job ticket. The print controller also includes a reduced-job-ticket interpreter. The print controller receives a printable file from a host system. The reduced-job-ticket interpreter receives a reduced job ticket associated with the printable file and builds a final job ticket using data from the reduced job ticket and the default job ticket. The print controller then prints the printable file in accordance with the final job ticket. In some embodiments, the print controller receives a PostScript printable file from the host system and the reduced-job-ticket interpreter receives a reduced job ticket in JDF format | 04-08-2010 |

| 20090203617 | CHIMERIC PEPTIDES FOR THE REGULATION OF GTPASES - Chimeric peptides or fusion proteins are disclosed that include a RhoGAP activity domain and at least one specificity domain that targets a specific Rho protein. The fusion proteins can be used to inhibit any GTPase activity within a cell. The fusion proteins are particularly advantageous for the treatment of cancer. The present invention generally relates to chimeric peptides capable of regulating GTPases, and more particularly, to methods of targeting individual GTPases by using GTPase-activating proteins. Such proteins may be used for the treatment of cancers and other GTPase-related diseases. This invention relates to nucleic acid molecules and the encoded GTPase activating proteins, and variants thereof, and to the use of these molecules in the characterization, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cell signaling, immune, and cell proliferative disorders, particularly cancer. Disclosed herein are compounds and methods for regulating transcription of a selected gene. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20090092589 | METHODS FOR ENHANCED VIRUS-MEDIATED DNA TRANSFER USING MOLECULES WITH VIRUS- AND CELL-BINDING DOMAINS - A method to increase the efficiency of transduction of hematopoietic and other cells by retroviruses includes infecting the cells in the presence of fibronectin or fibronectin fragments. The fibronectin and fibronectin fragments significantly enhance retroviral-mediated gene transfer into the cells, particularly hematopoietic cells including committed progenitors and primitive hematopoietic stem cells. The invention also provides improved methods for somatic gene therapy capitalizing on enhanced gene transfer, hematopoietic cellular populations, and novel constructs for enhancing retroviral-mediated DNA transfer into cells and their use. | 04-09-2009 |
