20110231824LOW-LEVEL CODE REWRITER VERIFICATION - Verification of low-level rewriters such as binary rewriters involves “vanilla” rewriting a file to generate a rewritten low-level file without performing any optimization, compaction, or other substantive low-level code transformation during the rewrite. Then the metadata of the original low-level file is automatically compared with matching metadata of the rewritten low-level file for semantic equivalence. A properly functioning rewriter produces semantically equivalent files, whereas a defective rewriter may produce files whose metadata semantics differ. Comparison may distinguish composite metadata entities from self-contained metadata entities, and transitive closures of metadata may be compared. Comparison may also test for bitwise equality of self-contained metadata entities, and test for equality between respective flags, strings, fields, and/or methods of the original and rewritten files. Syntactic variants may be detected during comparison, and metadata may be converted into a canonical form to facilitate comparison.09-22-2011

20100107752DISSOLUTION TESTING WITH IN-SITU GRAVIMETRIC VOLUME MEASUREMENT - A dissolution test apparatus includes a vessel support member, weight sensors, a movable component, a media transport cannula, a pump, and an electronic controller. The vessel support member receives vessels. A weight sensor is located at each vessel site. Each weight sensor contacts a vessel and transmits a measurement signal indicative of the weight of the vessel and any contents therein. The movable component moves the media transport cannula toward a vessel site. The pump establishes media flow between the media transport cannula and the selected vessel. The controller communicates with the weight sensors and may also communicate with the pump. Based on the measurement signals received from the weight sensors, the electronic controller may calculate the volume of media in a given vessel. The electronic controller may also control media flows to or from the vessels by transmitting control signals to the pump assembly.05-06-2010

20110140689SIGNAL AMPLITUDE ADJUSTMENT TO IMPROVE RESOLVER-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER PERFORMANCE - An interface system between an RDC and a connected resolver dynamically matches an input range of the RDC to the output range of the resolver's output signals. The interface system may include methods and/or apparatuses to determine the amplitude of sinusoidal input signals presented to the RDC by the resolver and to compare the amplitude against high and low threshold values. A gain control signal may be generated, which may be corrected if the detected amplitude either exceeds the high threshold or falls below the low threshold. The gain control signal may be output to a circuit in the RDC or in the resolver that corrects any mismatch that occurs between the RDC input and the resolver output. For example, the gain control signal may control the amplitude of an excitation signal applied to a primary of the resolver or the gain control signal may be applied to an analog to digital converter at the input of the RDC to control its effective input range.06-16-2011

20110313219DEOXYGENATION OF BIOMASS DERIVED OXYGENATES TO HYDROCARBONS VIA DIRECT METHANE INTERVENTION - The application describes a process where methane or any short chained hydrocarbon could be catalytically coupled with an oxygenate (preferably derived from thermal processing of biomass) to dehydrate and produce a deoxygenated hydrocarbon. The presence of oxygen in biomass derivatives adversely affects its ability to be further processed into hydrocarbon fuels because the resulting water poisons many catalysts (including alumina containing catalysts, zeolites, etc.) found in petrochemical refineries. While commonly used hydrodeoxygenation methods require expensive hydrogen to instigate deoxygenation, the present process uses short chained hydrocarbons (such as methane or natural gas) to instigate hydrodeoxygenation.12-22-2011

20120058509APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AFFIXING FROZEN TISSUE SECTIONS TO GLASS OR MEMBRANE MICROSCOPE SLIDES - This invention is an apparatus and method for affixing frozen tissue sections to microscope slides. It has three elements; teasing implements, an affixing block and a heating element. The elements are used inside a cryostat prior to processing for molecular biology procedures such as immunohistochemistry or laser micro dissection. The tissue sections are collected onto an affixing block which has indentations that decrease the contact surface area while providing structural support. The tissue sections are then transferred onto a slide via transient application of a heating element to the back of slide. The invention decreases folding of tissue sections, increases morphological consistency, enables the placement of many sections on one slide and enables the adherence of tissue sections with greater thickness.03-08-2012
