| 20110003045 | SOYBEANS HAVING HIGH GERMINATION RATES AND ULTRA-LOW RAFFINOSE AND STACHYOSE CONTENT - Soybean seeds having an ultra-low raffinose and stachyose phenotype. Also disclosed is a mutant allele of soybean designated SG-ULRFO which results in an ultra-low raffinose and stachyose phenotype. The present invention also relates to a soybean seed, a soybean plant and parts of a soybean plant and a soybean hybrid which comprises the mutant allele. Also disclosed are ultra-low raffinose and stachyose soybean seeds having unexpectedly increased germination rates when compared with soybean lines not having a low raffinose and stachyose seed content. Also disclosed are mutant RS3 and RS4 genes with polymorphisms which contribute to the ultra-low raffinose and stachyose phenotype as described in the present invention. The present invention also relates for method of using the soybean seeds and plants of the present invention, to plants parts derived from the present invention, to methods of producing transgenic plants using the plants and seeds of the present invention. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20090132306 | CONFIDENCE RATING SYSTEM - Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for matching employer job requirements. Job requirements are expressed as assertions, and candidate qualifications are expressed as proofs. A language syntax is provided that allows at least one assertion to be expressed. The language syntax has grammar for representing a skill, an object of the skill, and an environment in which the skill is performed. A process for generating and using a model of assertions and proofs is provided. Assertions are received from at least one employer. Proofs are received from at least one candidate. Assertions and proofs are brought together into a model using a bipartite graph. The model is used to calculate a confidence rating score for a candidate for a given job position. A feedback process is used to improve the model of assertions and proofs over time. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100104720 | METHODS FOR PRODUCING PARTIALLY HYDRATED AND COOKED BEAN PRODUCTS - Methods for producing a partially hydrated bean paste are disclosed. The methods include inputting a quantity of uncooked whole beans or split beans into an extruder comprising an inlet, one or more temperature zones in series downstream of the inlet, and a die downstream of the one or more temperature zones; rotating a screw assembly of the extruder to extrude the beans and force the beans through the one or more temperature zones, wherein a quantity of steam and a quantity of water is added to the beans as the beans are forced through each temperature zone; and forcing the beans exiting the final temperature zone of said one or more temperature zones in series through the die to produce a bean paste. The partially hydrated bean paste produced by the methods of the disclosure comprises a water content of at least about 45% by weight. The partially hydrated bean paste can be further processed into partially hydrated bean products, such as refried beans. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20080268093 | Compositions For Feline Consumption - The invention provides compositions for feline consumption and methods of preparing such compositions. The compositions comprise at least about 65% by weight meat and have an essentially solid mass which assumes the shape of its container. The compositions are characterized as having a moisturized appearance and visually recognizable discrete food particles upon slicing the mass after removal from a container. | 10-30-2008 |

| 20080299251 | Process For Preparing A Food Composition - A process for preparing a food composition that is easily removed from the container by contacting one or more hydrocolloids with water to prepare a colloidal solution, contacting the colloid solution with one or more food ingredients, and allowing the resulting mixture to form a solid mass having a gelatinous texture, and a food composition produced by such process. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090214738 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING A MEAT AND CARBOHYDRATE BASED COMPOSITION FOR CONSUMPTION BY FELINES - A process for preparing a feline pet food composition comprising a meat based material having an essentially solid mass that assumes the shape of its container and the feline pet food composition prepared using the process. The pet food composition is characterized as having meat particles with a moisturized appearance and visually recognizable discrete food particles upon slicing the pet food mass after removal from a container. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20090248134 | STENT WITH POLISHED EYELET - A stent for use in a stent graft comprising a strut region comprising at least two struts, the struts having at least one radius of curvature; a bend connecting the at least two struts and forming an eyelet region, where the strut region and the eyelet region are electropolished and the eyelet region is locally polished; and an eyelet positioned in the eyelet region, having at least one radius of curvature greater than zero is provided. A method of manufacturing the same also is provided. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090306763 | LOW PROFILE NON-SYMMETRICAL BARE ALIGNMENT STENTS WITH GRAFT - A stent graft for use in a medical procedure to treat a dissection of a patient's ascending thoracic aorta. The stent graft includes bare alignment stents at least at a proximal end, and often with a stent at both ends, each stent having opposing sets of curved apices, where the curved section of one broader set of apices has a radius of curvature that is greater than the curved section of the other narrower set of apices. The proximal stent is flared in a manner such that its broad apices occupy a larger circumference around the stent than do its narrower apices, where this flared feature provides for anchoring engagement near the aortic root in a manner not interfering with the coronary arteries or the aortic valve. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20110118821 | LOW PROFILE NON-SYMMETRICAL STENT - Various stents and stent-graft systems for treatment of medical conditions are disclosed. In one embodiment, an exemplary stent-graft system may be used for endovascular treatment of a thoracic aortic aneurysm. The stent-graft system may comprise proximal and distal components, each comprising a graft having proximal and distal ends, where upon deployment the proximal and distal components at least partially overlap with one another to provide a fluid passageway therebetween. The proximal component may comprise a proximal stent having a plurality of proximal and distal apices connected by a plurality of generally straight portions, where a radius of curvature of at least one of the proximal apices may be greater than the radius of curvature of at least one of the distal apices. The distal component may comprise a proximal z-stent coupled to the graft, where the proximal end of the graft comprises at least scallop formed therein that generally follows the shape of the proximal z-stent. Further, the distal component may comprise at least one z-stent stent coupled to the distal end of the graft and extending distally therefrom that reduces proximal migration of the distal component. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20110137403 | INTRODUCER FOR ENDOVASCULAR IMPLANTS - An introducer assembly for introducing a stent-graft or other device into a vessel of a patient is provided with a dilator tip which is naturally curved, preferably to be substantially a U-shape. The dilator tip is flexible so as to be able to become substantially straight with a guide wire therein and yet to be able to curve back towards its natural curvature during deployment of an implant. The curvature of the dilator tip can ensure that the dilator tip does not cause damage to the vessel wall during deployment of an implant carried thereon, as can occur with straight dilator tips. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20120022638 | BARB FOR ANCHORING AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE WITHIN A BODY VESSEL - A barb for anchoring an implantable medical device to a body vessel comprises a thin-walled body portion for engagement with a structural element of an implantable medical device and a penetrating element extending from the body portion. The body portion has a longitudinal axis. The penetrating element includes a tip portion for anchoring into tissue and a base portion between the tip portion and the body portion. In a deployed configuration of the barb, the base portion curves away from the longitudinal axis at a first curvature and the tip portion curves toward the longitudinal axis at a second curvature which is opposite in sign from the first. | 01-26-2012 |
