20110015929TRANSFORMING A TACTUALLY SELECTED USER INPUT INTO AN AUDIO OUTPUT - A contextual input device includes a plurality of tactually discernable keys disposed in a predetermined configuration which replicates a particular relationship among a plurality of items associated with a known physical object. The tactually discernable keys are typically labeled with Braille type. The known physical object is typically a collection of related items grouped together by some common relationship. A computer-implemented process determines whether a input signal represents a selection of an item from among a plurality of items or an attribute pertaining to an item among the plurality of items. Once the selected item or attribute pertaining to an item is determined, the computer-implemented process transforms a user's selection from the input signal into an analog audio signal which is then audibly output as human speech with an electro-acoustic transducer.01-20-2011

20090162859Compositions, methods and systems for inferring canine breeds for genetic traits and verifying parentage of canine animals - Methods and systems are provided for managing companion animal subjects in order to maximize their individual health and potential performance and to maximize profits obtained in breeding and marketing the companion animal subjects. The methods and systems draw an inference of a phenotype for a genetic trait of a companion animal subject by determining the nucleotide occurrence of at least one companion animal SNP that is determined to be associated with the phenotype. The methods and systems described can be utilized to identify individual animals, determine or verify parentage of a single dog from any breed if the putative parent(s) are also available for testing, and are associated with, and predictive of, canine breeds. The inference is used in some aspects to diagnose a health condition or predisposition of a companion animal subject.06-25-2009
20110212441Methods and Systems for Inferring Bovine Traits - Methods, compositions, and systems are provided for managing bovine subjects in order to maximize their individual potential performance and edible meat value, and to maximize profits obtained in marketing the bovine subjects. The methods and systems draw an inference of a trait of a bovine subject by determining the nucleotide occurrence of at least one bovine SNP that is identified herein as being associated with the trait. The inference is used in methods of the present invention to establish the economic value of a bovine subject, to improve profits related to selling beef from a bovine subject; to manage bovine subjects, to sort bovine subjects; to improve the genetics of a bovine population by selecting and breeding of bovine subjects, to clone a bovine subject with a specific trait, to track meat or another commercial product of a bovine subject; and to diagnose a health condition of a bovine subject. Methods are also disclosed for identifying additional SNPs associated with a trait, by using the associated SNPs identified herein.09-01-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120070237TOOL HOLDER COMPRISING A COOLING MEANS - A tool holder for a machining tool includes a cooling means for a compressed air blowing tool and a device for cooling air compressed by a vortex tube device. The tool holder is generally cylindrical and the vortex tube device advantageously includes a plurality of vortex tubes placed annularly around the axis of the cylinder and the cold air outputs of which are directed at the tool held by the tool holder.03-22-2012

20090304594Methods for Predicting Treatment Response Based On the Expression Profiles of Protein and Transcription Biomarkers - The invention disclosed herein describes novel biomarkers useful for risk assessment, screening, prognosis and selection and monitoring of therapy for HDAC mediated cell proliferative disorders. In particular, the invention provides the identities of three particular proteins whose expression patterns are strongly predictive of a particular patient's treatment outcome, e.g., non-responsiveness to SAHA. The expression profile, or pattern, whether embodied in nucleic acid expression, protein expression, or other expression formats will find use in identifying and selecting patients afflicted with a particular HDAC mediated cancer who are likely to be non-responsive to SAHA-based therapy and thus candidates for other treatments.12-10-2009
