Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110060761Interactive writing aid to assist a user in finding information and incorporating information correctly into a written work - A machine and computer-implemented process that assists a user in authoring any written work in that it automatically searches multiple sources simultaneously on the world wide web or other designated database in order to provide automatic citation and/or information suggestions to an author's written work. The invention parses and sorts both user entered information and returned search results to create databases which assist in suggesting the most relevant information and citation suggestions to the user. The machine and computer-implemented process also provide automatic formatting, in a user pre-selected style, of both the written work and the citations which are automatically generated and suggested to the author based upon user defined presets and relevancy criteria. The invention described assists a user in finding information and the next step in a variety of processes.03-10-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080278148Method of sensing a position of a movable component - A method of sensing a position of a movable component of an operator interface includes a step of receiving a first signal from a first Hall effect sensor and a second signal from a second Hall effect sensor. The method also includes a step of determining the position of the movable component based on the first signal and the second signal if the first and second signals represent expected values. The method includes a further step of determining the position of the movable component based on one of the first and second signals if the other of the first and second signals represents an unexpected value.11-13-2008
20080278218Operator interface assembly including a Hall effect element and machine using same - A machine having an operator interface for requesting an action from an actuator of the machine includes a movable component of the operator interface. The movable component is movable among at least two positions. One of a magnet and a Hall effect sensor is positioned to move in response to movement of the movable component. The other of the magnet and the Hall effect sensor has a stationary position relative to the movable component. A pulse width modulator is operably coupled to the Hall effect sensor for producing a first pulse width modulated signal. The first pulse width modulated signal is altered in response to movement of one of the Hall effect sensor and the magnet relative to the other. An electronic controller is in communication with the pulse width modulator and the actuator and is configured to actuate the actuator in response to evaluation of the first pulse width modulated signal.11-13-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090219199Positioning system for projecting a site model - A positioning system is disclosed. The positioning system has a database for storing a site model. The site model has data indicative of a desired geography of a site environment and an actual geography of the site environment. The positioning system also has a first receiver for generating digital signals representing a real time position in three-dimensional space of at least a portion of a machine as the machine traverses the site environment. The positioning system further has a processor for receiving the signals and updating the site model to determine a difference between the data indicative of the desired geography and the data indicative of the actual geography. The positioning system also has a display for projecting the site model onto at least one surface of an operator station of the machine so that an operator may simultaneously view the site model and the site environment.09-03-2009

20090117154SYNTHETIC POLYVALENT CARBOHYDRATES AS COMPONENTS OF MICROBICIDES - Inhibitors that block the DC-SIGN mediated transmission of the HIV-virus from mucosal infection sites to T-lymphocytes. In one embodiment, the inhibitors include at least one oligosaccharide chain attached to a scaffolding framework in which the number of the oligosaccharide chains attached to the scaffold can be 2, 3, 4 or more. In another embodiment, HIV-I viral infection is treated by administration of a composition including a therapeutically effective amount of an oligosaccharide cluster and/or oligosaccharide/protein cluster binding DC-SIGN, to inhibit DC-SIGN from binding to HIV envelope glycoprotein.05-07-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090081124VIRUS COAT PROTEIN/RECEPTOR CHIMERAS AND METHODS OF USE - The invention relates to chimeric molecules comprising a virus coat sequence and a receptor sequence that can inter-act with each other to form a complex that is capable of binding a co-receptor. Such chimeric molecules therefore exhibit functional properties characteristic of a receptor-coat protein complex and are useful as agents that inhibit virus infection of cells due to occn-panty of co-receptor present on the cell, for example. In particular aspects, the chimeric polypeptide includes an immunodeficiency virus envelope polypeptide, such as that of HIV, SIV, FIV, FeLV, FPV and herpes virus. Receptor sequences suitable for use in a chimeric polypeptide include, for example, CCR5 and CXCR4 sequences.03-26-2009
