20100235283FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS USING A COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A computer implemented system provides a method of conducting a financial transaction. The method begins when the system assigns a designator of a value using a preauthorization by a payor. The system associates the payor with an authorized payor telephone identifier. When the system receives a telephone call with the authorized payor telephone identifier at a specified Direct Inward Dial (DID) telephone number associated with a transaction type, the system responds by sending at least one transaction code to the payor. When the system receives the transaction code from the payee, the designator of value is re-asssigned to from the payor to the payee. The system allows the transaction code to be delivered directly from the payor to the payee or sent automatically to the payee. Each DID telephone number represents different transaction types such as Automatic Teller Machine (ATM), Person-To-Person (P2P), merchant transactions, vending transactions and other types of transactions.09-16-2010

20110230311Apparatus and method for proper breath control for singing - A pair of adjustable belts adapted to encircle the human torso provides training in proper breath control techniques while singing. Mating fasteners at the free ends of each belt releasably secure the free ends together so that each belt forms a closed loop. A method includes securing the belts around the middle of the torso, expanding the first belt, having the person inhale with the intercostals and lateral muscles to expand the ribcage and fastening the first belt into the expanded position around the torso, in a horizontal line at the breastbone. In one embodiment, the top belt is placed around the subject at the middle of the chest fastening at the breastbone and the bottom belt is placed around the subject angling upward from the lower back, to fasten also at the breastbone. A final step may be to have the person maintain pressure on both straps while singing.09-22-2011

20100229108Computational Delivery System for Avatar and Background Game Content - Data defining an avatar is received, over a network. The data defining the avatar is stored to a computer readable medium. A sprite sheet comprising a plurality of sprites is created, using at least one computing device, using the data defining the avatar. Each sprite comprises a partial rendering of the respective avatar and at least one run-time parameter comprising a sprite attribute. A plurality of requests are received, over the network, for the avatar from a plurality of user applications. The data defining the avatar and the sprite sheet are transmitted, over the network, to each of the requesting games, whereby each respective user application is enabled to display the sprites in the sprite sheet. The user application is enabled to set the run-time parameter associated with each of the sprites in the sprite sheet such that each respective sprite is thereby customized to the application.09-09-2010

20090298077ASSAY FOR MEASUREMENT OF APURINIC/APYRIMIDINIC (AP) SITES AND FOR SCREENING AP-SITE REACTIVE COMPOUNDS - A method of detecting abasic (AP) sites in DNA from a subject includes isolating a sample of DNA from a subject under examination, contacting the DNA with a fluorescent aldehyde reactive probe (FARP), and detecting FARP labeled AP sites in the DNA sample.12-03-2009
20100093647MGMT INHIBITOR COMBINATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF NEOPLASTIC DISORDERS - A method of treating a neoplastic disease in a subject includes administering to neoplastic cells of the subject an MGMT inhibitor and at least one of an antimitotic agent or a DNA damaging agent.04-15-2010
20100111861DETECTION AND QUANTIFICATION OF ABASIC SITE FORMATION IN VIVO - A method of measuring the efficacy of an anticancer agent in generating abasic (AP) sites in DNA of cancer cells of a subject includes administering to the subject an anticancer agent that generates AP sites in at least one cancer cell and an AP endonuclease inhibitor probe. The AP endonuclease inhibitor probe includes a detection moiety for detecting the probe in the subject. The amount of probe bound to cancer cells of the subject is then measured. The amount of probe bound to cancer cells of the subject is indicative of efficacy of the anticancer agent in generating AP sites in cancer cells of the subject.05-06-2010
