Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100292637DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING AN AGENT INTO BREAST MILK WHILE BREASTFEEDING - A device for delivering an agent into breast milk while breastfeeding. In one embodiment, the device includes a breast shield modified to engage a non-woven material which has been impregnated with a milk soluble active agent such as sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). A lactating animal, e.g. a woman, uses this agent-delivering breast shield during breastfeeding to administer prophylactic or therapeutic agents to a suckling infant. The inventions are particularly well suited to preventing transmission of HIV virus from mother to child. Alternatively, the agent-laden material could be used with a baby bottle nipple or pacifier.11-18-2010

20090091563CHARACTER ANIMATION FRAMEWORK - An extensible character animation framework is provided that enables video game design teams to develop reusable animation controllers that are customizable for specific applications. According to embodiments, the animation framework enables animators to construct complex animations by creating hierarchies of animation controllers, and the complex animation is created by blending the animation outputs of each of the animation controllers in the hierarchy. The extensible animation framework also provides animators with the ability to customize various attributes of a character being animated and to view the changes to the animation in real-time in order to provide immediate feedback to the animators without requiring that the animators manually rebuild the animation data each time that the animators make a chance to the animation data.04-09-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090089005GENERATION OF TEST SPECIFICATIONS BASED ON MEASURED DATA POINTS - Autonomous or machine generation of test specifications can be achieved by capturing the measured test data of a device and then using the captured test data to build a test specification, such as a limit line, for subsequent testing of similar devices. The generated test specification is typically adapted for use with respect to limited resources, such as through use of a piece-wise linear configuration. In an embodiment, the number of piece-wise linear portions of the generated test specification is minimized or otherwise optimized. In embodiments, the generated test specification is adjusted to accommodate expected measurement variation, such as thermal noise, device process variation, random jitter, etc., and, if desired, adjusted to allow for changes in test accuracy of subsequent tests. In one embodiment, one or more test measurement inaccuracies are eliminated in the construction of the limit line.04-02-2009

20110166950System and Methods for a Personal Seat License Auction - A system and methods for a personal seat license (PSL) auction are described. The PSL auction is designed to maximize revenue while providing bidders with a fun and engaging experience. In general, the PSL auction extends over multiple days, and PSLs are auctioned in mixed quantities of small lots so that inventory gets the most exposure. The list end times for the PSL listings are staggered to provide a dynamic online marketplace where PSL listings are closing all of the time. This provides more bidders that bid on multiple lots and more chances for bidders to return if they are unsuccessful on a given day.07-07-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090014084Dual crimped warp fabric for conveyor belt applications - A conveyor belt reinforcing fabric weave is disclosed, having a plurality of center tension warps crimped about a plurality of middle wefts. Upper and lower wefts lie above and below the middle wefts. The upper and lower wefts are in opposition to each other and in non-opposition with the center wefts. Binder warps are interlaced above and below the central tension warps in alternating sequence, with at least one of the binder warps interlacing upper and lower wefts other than those interlaced by an adjacent binder warp. Interlacing of the middle wefts by the central tension warps locks the wefts in place, providing enhanced resistance to faster pullout. The lack of straight tension warps provides a highly flexible fabric that can be used in multi-ply applications. A conveyor belt incorporating one or more plies of the inventive fabric is disclosed, as is a method for manufacturing the belt.01-15-2009

A reputation server queries a database including reputation information associated with a plurality of links to retrieve a reputation of a redirected link. The reputation information may indicate whether the links are associated with a malicious activity. The reputation of the redirected link may be associated with the original link to create a reputation of the original link.04-26-2012
