20080293634C-MET RECEPTOR REGULATION BY ANGIOTENSIN IV (AT4) RECEPTOR LIGANDS - The cell surface c-Met receptor, through which hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) signals are mediated, has now been identified as the Angiotensin-IV receptor (AT(4)R) in processes that include HGF-regulated cell motility, angiogenesis, cancer metastasis, adipogenesis and others. Disclosed are angiotensin-like factor compositions and methods for using them to diagnose, prevent and/or treat conditions associated with c-Met dysregulation, including cancer, obesity and conditions associated with obesity, and other disorders, for example, by altering hepatocyte growth factor activity or c-Met receptor activity by administering an angiotensin-like factor that specifically binds to a cell surface c-Met receptor.11-27-2008

20080212473System and Method for Aggregated Shaping of Multiple Prioritized Classes of Service Flows - A system coupled between at least one input port and at least one output port comprises at least one queue, each queue being identified by a QID and operable to receive and buffer data in at least one service flow from the at least one input port. The system further comprises a predetermined at least one token allocated to each queue, each token indicative whether a predetermined amount of data may be dequeued from a queue and transmitted to the output port. The system comprises at least one group of queues where each queue in the group has a subordinate QID identifying a subordinate queue in the group having a lower priority for reallocating unused tokens. The at least one output port receives at least one output flow comprising the dequeued data from the at least one queue.09-04-2008

20120076352METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMIC SPEED CONTROL ON A MAIL PROCESSING SYSTEM - The present application relates to a mail processing system and related method containing dynamic speed control which uses real time and historical system parameters to dynamically control the cycle speed of an inserting or wrapping system to optimize system efficiency, and maximize throughput and performance. A document processing system with dynamic speed control analyzes system parameters. When the operational conditions are favorable the system will increase cycle speed of one or more of the mail processing components of the system in increments until an optimal speed is reached. Likewise, if conditions are unfavorable the system will decrease cycle speed of one or more of the mail processing components of the system in increments until an optimal speed is reached.03-29-2012

20090272658BOX WITH A-FRAME PRODUCT SUPPORT - A container includes a housing having an open top and a lid attached to the housing. The lid includes a first panel having a first edge and a second edge, a second panel having a first edge and a second edge, and a third panel. The first edge of the first panel is attached to the housing at a first hinge. The first edge of the second panel is attached to the second edge of the first panel at a second hinge. The third panel is attached to the second edge of the second panel at a third hinge. The lid is positionable in a first position and a second position. When the lid is in the first position, the lid covers the open top of the housing and the first hinge and the third hinge form a virtual hinge. When the lid is in the second position, the lid forms an A-Frame over the open top such that the second panel forms a display platform. The third panel maintains the lid in the second position.11-05-2009
