| 20110129428 | Safflower with Elevated Gamma-Linolenic Acid - The present invention relates to compositions and methods for preparing gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) in safflower plants, particularly from seeds of safflower. Nucleic acid sequences and constructs encoding one or more fatty acid desaturase sequences are used to generate transgenic safflower plants that contain and express one or more of these sequences and produce high levels of GLA in safflower seeds. Provided are transgenic safflower plants and seeds that produce high levels of GLA. Additionally provided are oils produced from seeds of this invention. The invention also relates to methods of treating a variety of diseases including nervous system disorders, inflammatory conditions, cancer and cardiovascular disorders using the oils of this invention. | 06-02-2011 |

| 20120029845 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FLUID MONITORING - According to some embodiments, an apparatus and method are provided for detecting the composition of a fluid. An alternating electromagnetic field may be applied to the fluid and distortions in the electromagnetic field are compared with predetermined, expected distortion “signatures” for particular components at particular concentrations. The presence and concentration of the components in the fluid may be detected by detecting these distortion signatures. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20110040804 | DYNAMIC PRESENTATION FRAMEWORK - A system in accordance with the present invention may include one or more processors, memory from which the processor may fetch instructions according to a clock operating at a frequency, a display device, and one or more programs stored in the memory, with instructions to create a structured file for storing data related to the media presentation, access the data related to the media presentation from the presentation application, organize the data related to the media presentation according to an event, and export the organized data related to the media presentation to the structured file. These instructions may also be executed as steps of a method and may be fetched during the execution of one or more programs stored in a computer-readable storage medium. | 02-17-2011 |

| 20090044123 | ACTION BUILDS AND SMART BUILDS FOR USE IN A PRESENTATION APPLICATION - A presentation application for animating objects placed on slides is provided. Using the presentation application, the user may add objects to slides of a presentation, and apply animations to the objects. The animations may include action builds (e.g., fundamental animations) and smart builds (e.g., complex combinations of action builds). The animations used in slides may be pre-processed, or may instead be rendered in real-time as the slides are being presented. The real-time rendering may be performed by graphics circuitry, such as the GPU of a video card. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20090044136 | BACKGROUND REMOVAL TOOL FOR A PRESENTATION APPLICATION - A presentation application for masking portions of an object, such as the background of an image, is provided. The presentation application may provide a background removal tool that allows a user to define an initial point in the background of the object. The presentation application may establish an initial background color based on the initial point, and may compute and automatically adjust a color tolerance of the background color based on the distance that a user-controlled cursor is from the initial point. Using a seed-fill algorithm, the presentation application can select a contiguous portion of the object for masking that includes the initial point and surrounding pixels that are within the background color tolerance. To smoothen the edges of the contiguous portion, the presentation application can convert the portion to a vector graphic before masking the object. | 02-12-2009 |
