Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090082908Calculating Airflow Values For HVAC Systems - A method of calculating a control parameter for a component in an HVAC system includes receiving a plurality of input signals, and calculating a value of the control parameter using a control parameter equation having a plurality of predetermined coefficients and a plurality of variables, each variable corresponding to one of the input signals. This equation is stored in and subsequently fetched from memory associated with a component of the HVAC system, such as a blower motor controller or a system controller. In some embodiments, the equation is stored in a device for interfacing a system controller with a blower motor assembly.03-26-2009

20090258375ASSAYS FOR DETECTING PREGNANCY-ASSOCIATED GLYCOPROTEINS - Disclosed are methods and compositions for detecting pregnancy in an animal by means of assaying peptidase activity of one or more Pregnancy Associated Glycoproteins (PAGs). In certain aspects, methods also comprising use of an antibody that binds immunologically to a PAG that displays proteolytic activity are provided. Substrates of proteolytic PAGs are also provided, as are kits, and methods of use. Further, methods of purifying PAGs based on their proteolytic activity are also provided.10-15-2009
20110076705COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR EARLY PREGNANCY DIAGNOSIS - Disclosed are antibodies and methods for detecting pregnancy in an animal. In certain aspects antibodies used binds immunologically to at least two PAGs selected from PAG4, PAG6, PAG9, PAG16, PAG17, PAG19, PAG20 and PAG21. Antibody encoding nucleic acids are also provided, as are kits, methods of use and additional antibody related compositions.03-31-2011

20100196938IMMUNOASSAY FOR VENOM DETECTION INCLUDING NONINVASIVE SAMPLE COLLECTION - Methods and immunoassays for diagnosing a bite or sting of a venomous organism in a patient having symptoms consistent with such a bite or sting are provided. A sample of venom is collected from the area of the suspected bite or sting using a swab and then contacted with an antibody that specifically binds to an antigenic site on venom present in the sample. Binding is then detected. The invention is illustrated by examples showing diagnosis of brown recluse spider bite, distinguishing it from other diagnoses with which it is often confused. This extremely sensitive test can detect venom antigens down to about 20 picograms even after the sample has been shipped and stored for periods of up to three weeks during the summer.08-05-2010

20100331206COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR EARLY PREGNANCY DIAGNOSIS - Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) are structurally related to the pepsins, thought to be restricted to the hoofed (ungulate) mammals and characterized by being expressed specifically in the outer epithelial cell layer (chorion/trophectoderm) of the placenta. By cloning expressed genes from ovine and bovine placental cDNA libraries, the inventors estimate that cattle, sheep, and most probably all ruminant Artiodactyla, possess possibly 100 or more PAG genes, many of which are placentally expressed. The PAGs are highly diverse in sequence, with regions of hypervariability confined largely to surface-exposed loops. Selected PAG that are products of the invasive binucleate cells, expressed highly in early pregnancy at the time of trophoblast invasion and expressed weakly, if at all, in late gestation are useful in the early diagnosis of pregnancy. In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to immunoassays for detecting these PAGs.12-30-2010

20080201180Facilitating environmental resource and/or energy management on farms - A method of facilitating environmental resource and/or energy management on farms. From each of a plurality of farms, data is collected relating to environmental resource and/or energy management on the farm. For each farm, at least some of the data is monitored to provide a verification of one or more conditions related to a goal of the environmental resource and/or energy management. For one of the farms, the verification is communicated to a party unaffiliated with the one of the farms.08-21-2008
20080201255FACILITATING CREATION AND SALE OF CARBON CREDITS - A system for facilitating creation and sale of carbon credits. A computer receives data pertaining to a plurality of credit creators and enrolls a plurality of potential and/or actual credits in the system based on the received data. After the enrolling of a credit, the system tracks a plurality of statuses for the enrolled credit, until after the enrolled credit has been sold. The system gathers data relevant to actualization of a potential credit and verifies whether the potential credit has become an actual credit. Access to the tracked statuses for a given credit may be provided to a creator of the credit, an aggregator of the credit, and an exchange.08-21-2008
20090099962APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING CARBON CREDITS - A processor-performed method of facilitating the creation and sale of carbon credits. The method includes enrolling a plurality of carbon credits in a database. Each credit is associated with an account of a creator of the credit and with a project for generating the credit. The method includes determining whether one of the one or more projects is registered in a climate action registry; and, based on the determining, registering in the registry a validated credit associated with the registered project and including the registered credit in an account of an aggregator.04-16-2009

20090184819METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS - A method and apparatus for sensing radio frequency signals. A radio frequency strength sensing apparatus converts a sensed radio frequency signal to an audible tone. The apparatus comprises a radio frequency detector, a voltage to frequency converter, and a speaker system. The radio frequency detector is capable of detecting radio frequency signals over a selected frequency range with different signal strengths and capable of outputting a logarithmic voltage that varies with signal amplitude change. The voltage-to-frequency converter is connected to the radio frequency detector and is capable of producing an electrical signal waveform in the audio frequency range to generate the audible tone. The speaker system is connected to the voltage-to-frequency converter circuit, wherein the speaker system outputs the audible tone, with pitch of the tone related to the strength of the radio frequency signal.07-23-2009
20100079131AUDIO FREQUENCY DEVICE FOR AUDIBLE EYES OFF MEASUREMENTS - An electrical to audible signal measurement apparatus comprises an absolute value converter, a voltage to frequency converter, a polarity detector, and a waveform changer. The absolute value converter is capable of converting a bipolar input signal into a unipolar signal. The voltage to frequency converter is connected to the absolute value converter and is capable of generating a frequency signal proportional to the unipolar signal. The polarity detector is capable of identifying a polarity of the bipolar input signal to form an identified polarity. The waveform changer is connected to the voltage to frequency converter and polarity detector and is capable of generating a number of different waveforms in an audio frequency range in response to receiving the frequency signal from the voltage to frequency converter and in response to the identified polarity.04-01-2010
