| 20100043869 | SOLAR PANEL LIGHT INDICATOR/DECORATIVE SYSTEM - A solar power generation system containing a plurality of roofing tiles, each of which containing a housing that encloses photovoltaic panels, solar panel control systems and light sources (light source). The housing and solar panel control system, in addition, may also contain modules and assemblies such as solar panel processing circuitry, communication and power interfaces, heater assembly, electrical rotational assembly, self cleaning assembly, and so forth. For optimal functioning, it is essential that all these modules incorporated within the housing function properly. The light sources are communicatively coupled to the solar panel processing circuitry and a central control unit; and are operable to produce a visible output. The light sources identify a solar panel among plurality of solar panels of the solar power generation system, and display a visible light that indicates operating condition of that solar panel. The visible light may indicate, for instance, problems related to the maintenance, cleaning, solar panel positional adjustment, and heater assembly. The visible light may also indicate operational conditions of a plurality of solar panels, within a block of roofing tiles; where rest of the roofing tiles are incorporated with minimum number of light sources, to minimize the cost. In addition, the visible output may display colorful holiday lighting and advertisements, especially at the roofing edges. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100043870 | SOLAR PANEL MONITORING SYSTEM - A solar panel of a solar power generation system consisting housing within a roofing tile, photovoltaic panels and solar panel monitoring system disposed within the housing. The solar panel monitoring system, in turn, consists of solar panel processing circuitry, solar panel communications interface, solar panel memory and solar panel sensor coupled to the photovoltaic panel. The solar panel processing circuitry performs monitoring and maintenance activities within the roofing tile, by receiving sensory data from the solar panel sensor regarding performance of the photovoltaic panel and other modules and stores the received sensory data in the solar panel memory. In addition the solar panel processing circuitry is operable to deliver the stored sensory data to a central control unit via the solar panel communications interface. The other modules within the roofing tile includes solar panel communication and power interfaces, solar panel memory, heater assembly, electrical rotational assembly and lighting module, all of which are coupled to the photovoltaic panel via a solar panel power bus to receive power and interconnected via a solar panel communication bus. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20080276260 | Adaptive User Interface Verification - User interface verification may be provided. First, a known good file may be received. Next, an automation may be run on an application program to place the application program in a predetermined state. Data from the known good file may then be compared to data corresponding to a user interface corresponding to the predetermined state of the application program. In response to the comparison, results corresponding to comparing the data from the known good file to the data corresponding to the user interface may be reported. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20090083118 | SEGMENTED MOTIVATION PROFILES - A method of developing a motivation to motivate participants associated with a program-owner. The reward types of a motivation profile are defined and the participants' preferences are collected through a survey. The collected participants' preferences are modeled to determine segments of participants with similar reward preferences. An optimal motivation profile consisting of the participants' preferred reward types is generated from the modeled data and presented to the program owner in a detailed report. Additionally, a motivation profile simulator for simulating the participants' preference to a proposed motivation profile and a segmentation tool for displaying the characteristics of each segment is generated. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20080272002 | System and Method for Proteomics - Significantly higher yield and better resolution in pI gels are obtained by creating traps having two or more layers of gel containing closely stepped immobilized pH buffers. Proteins move from a pH at which they are negatively charged towards an anode at which they are positively charged. Discrete regions containing immobilized pH buffers trap the proteins when the immobilized buffer pH and the protein pI are approximately the same. The protein is trapped within the second layer and not on the surface of or interface of the second layer. Significantly higher yields with better resolution can be obtained through the use of layered sample application gels prior to isoelectric focusing. Layered plugs are prepared with a range of immobilized pH buffers ranging, for example, over 2 pH units, with steps of 0.05 or 0.1 pH units. An array of multilayered plugs wherein each plug has different pH increments is also provided. The array can be used to isolate and trap a variety of proteins having different isoelectric pHs during a single run. Another embodiment provides plugs having at least three layers; a gate layer, a trap layer, and an exit layer. Another embodiment includes adding a carrier ampholytes to running buffers and or adding thiol containing reducing agents to reduce current and improve resolution and collection efficiency. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20100079727 | INTERMEDIATE FILM IDENTIFIER MARKING - A method includes impacting at least one identifier on a section of passing film for identifying the film as a source for content copied from the film. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100095982 | FILM CLEANING SYSTEM - A film cleaning system for removing debris from film is described. The film cleaning system includes at least one cleaning member. Associated with each cleaning member is an adhesive member. As the film begins its transport through the cleaning system and is brought into contact with the cleaning member the adhesive member is engaged with the cleaning member. The cleaning member removes debris from the film and the adhesive member prevents the cleaning member from being loaded with debris from the film providing a self-cleaning attribute as well as improving the quality and cleanliness of the film. | 04-22-2010 |
