20120045367SYSTEM FOR CREATION OF FORMULATIONS AND GENERATION OF DENATURATION GRAPHS - A system for automatically creating a denaturation curve is disclosed. In accordance with certain embodiments, a movement system including a unit having a plurality of cannulas is used. The cannulas are in fluid communication with a fluid system, which allows the cannulas to draw in and dispense fluid. A measurement system is included which draws fluid from a well into a detector to determine a characteristic of the fluid. A controller is used to control these systems and also to create a denaturation graph from the measured characteristics. In another embodiment, a plurality of formulations may be created using the system.02-23-2012
20120045841SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATION OF AUTOMATED DENATURATION GRAPHS - A system and method for creating a plurality of denaturation curves is disclosed. In accordance with certain embodiments, one variable, such as salt content, pH or another parameter, is varied to create a plurality of different buffer solutions. Each is then used to create a denaturation graph. The plurality of denaturation graphs allows analysis of the effect of that variable on protein stability.02-23-2012
20120045846SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR pH FORMULATIONS - A system and method for creating a buffer solution having a desired pH value is disclosed. The method uses two known buffer solutions, each with predetermined pH values, and determines a mathematical relationship which defines the amount of each known buffer solution needed to create the buffer solution with the desired pH. This method can then be used to create one or more denaturation graphs, which demonstrate the stability of a protein at a given pH level.02-23-2012
20120045849SYSTEM AND METHOD TO MEASURE DISSOCIATION CONSTANTS - A system and method for determining the dissociation constant for a particular ligand is disclosed. In accordance with certain embodiments, the method creates a chemical denaturation curve of a protein in the absence of the ligand. A particular point is selected from this curve, such as the point at which 90% of the protein is unfolded. The molarity of chemical denaturant is determined for this selected point. A one point test is then performed for the protein with a predetermined concentration of the particular ligand. The fraction of protein which is unfolded at this point is then used to determine the dissociation constant for the ligand. This constant is used to quickly determine whether a particular ligard is well suited to be considered a potential drug candidate against that protein target.02-23-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090210406METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CLUSTERING IDENTIFIED FORMS - A method is provided for organizing a plurality of documents that include forms. An initial set of clusters is defined for the plurality of documents. The initial set of clusters is reclustered based on similarity values calculated in multiple feature spaces. For example, a first feature space may be associated with a content of a document while a second feature space may be associated with a content of a form associated with the document. Each cluster has an associated centroid vector in each feature space that is used to represent the cluster. The similarity between the document and each cluster is calculated in both feature spaces. Each document is assigned to the cluster whose centroid is most similar. The cluster centroids may be recalculated and the process repeated until the cluster assignments become stable.08-20-2009
20090210407METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTIVE DISCOVERY OF CONTENT ON A NETWORK - A method is provided for identifying documents that include a searchable form relevant to a topic. A document is received. If the received document comprises a form is determined. A form includes a field presented to a user requesting information from the user. If the received document is determined to comprise a form, a determination is made concerning whether or not the form is a searchable form. A searchable form returns non-trivial information to a requester in response to a submission of the form. If the form is determined to be a searchable form, a determination is made concerning whether or not the form is relevant to an identified topic. If the form is determined to be relevant to the identified topic, the document is identified as a searchable form relevant to the identified topic.08-20-2009
20090310816ENABLING PROVENANCE MANAGEMENT FOR PRE-EXISTING APPLICATIONS - A method of providing provenance management for a pre-existing application is provided. A provenance data selection is received. The provenance data selection indicates provenance data to present to a user. The provenance data is presented to the user as a version tree comprising a plurality of connected nodes. A node selection is received. The node selection indicates a node selected from the version tree. One or more nodes from a root node of the plurality of connected nodes to the node selected from the version tree are identified. One or more action parameters associated with the identified one or more nodes are identified. An action parameter of the one or more action parameters is associated with a previous interaction with a pre-existing application. Presentation of a state of the pre-existing application associated with the node selected from the version tree is triggered.12-17-2009
20110276915AUTOMATED DEVELOPMENT OF DATA PROCESSING RESULTS - A method of automatically completing a workflow is provided. An indicator of a partial workflow is received in a computing device. The partial workflow includes a module configured to process data. A workflow completion is determined for the partial workflow based on the partial workflow and a plurality of workflows stored in a computer-readable medium. The workflow completion is configured to further process the data. A workflow is presented in a display operably coupled to the computing device. The workflow includes the determined workflow completion and the partial workflow.11-10-2011

20110194854UPSTREAM EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT METHOD FOR PASSIVE OPTICAL NETWORKS - A method of data transmission in a network sharing a medium using a time division multiple access scheme in which a network unit receives data packets from a subnetwork, stores the data packets in a buffer until the arrival of a time-slot and sends the data packets over the shared medium in the upstream direction during the time-slot. Each of the data packets includes a payload and a header that includes a source address and a destination address. Storing the data packets in the buffer includes: determining the paired source and the destination addresses of a received packet; determining whether a composite frame having a composite frame header including the paired source and destination addresses already exists; if negative, creating the composite frame for the paired source and destination addresses; and aggregating the payload of the packet to a composite frame payload of the composite frame.08-11-2011
