| 20090070081 | PREDICTIVE MODELING IN A GAMING SYSTEM - Methods and systems for performing comprehensive predictive analysis and modeling in a wager gaming environment are provided. Statistical calculations for deriving predictive values for a patron behavior in a casino or gaming environment may include various criteria, including but not limited to wager gaming activities, resort/hotel usage, dining/meals, non-gaming point of sale transactions, entertainment expenditures, coupon/prize redemption, “comps” provided, etc. In some implementations, a plurality of predictive models may be used. One or more criteria may be used to evaluate and/or rank the predictive models. For example, such an evaluation and/or ranking may be based, at least in part, on a correlation coefficient or a function thereof. In some such implementations, an evaluation and/or ranking may be based, at least in part, on a comparison of the coefficient of determination, R | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100228526 | 3-D CASINO GAMING FLOOR VISUALIZATION UTILIZING REAL-TIME AND BATCH DATA - An integrated computing device (tool) and method for creating a floor layout, analyzing the layout from the simulated point of view of a patron within the floor, and assessing the performance of a layout in real time or with historical data. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20100045066 | Welded Blank for Vehicle Door Panel - A blank for a vehicle door includes components arranged in the form of a blank for a front door or a rear door, each component including an edge that is adjacent to an edge of another one of the components, and welds produced by a laser, connecting the components along weld lines at the adjacent edges, each weld line of the blank for a front door being collinear with a corresponding weld line of the blank for a rear door. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100055488 | NON-LINEAR WELDED BLANK AND METHOD OF REDUCING MASS - A structural inner, such as a vehicular door inner, formed from an engineered non-linearly welded blank comprising blank sections of differing thickness, a method of reducing the mass of the blank and redistributing the stresses experienced thereby during a drawing process, and a modified three-piece draw die having a control split device adapted for stamping the blank and localizing, minimizing and redirecting a blank failure to a predetermined location, such as the speaker hole of the door, during the process. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20090292502 | DRAIN CLEANING APPARATUS WITH ELECTRONIC CABLE MONITORING SYSTEM - A drain cleaning machine with an electronic cable monitoring system is disclosed which comprises a frame supporting a rotatable drum which is driven by a motor through an endless belt. The drum contains a flexible drain cleaning cable which is rotatable with the drum and axially displaceable into and out from the drum, and the frame supports a cable feeding device through which the cable extends and by which the cable is displaced into and out of the drum. An electronic cable monitoring system is configured to assess an amount of cable payed out from and retracted into the drum. A process determines an amount and direction of relative movement between a rotatable drum and a cable follower member and generates a signal representative of an amount of cable payed out or retracted into the drum. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100017981 | DRAIN CLEANING TOOLS WITH WEAR INDICATORS - A drain cleaning tool includes a wear indicator for providing a visual indication to a user of the tool of an amount of wear in the tool. Various forms of the wear indicator and tool include a flexible plumbers cable with one or more wear detector prominences extending between turns of the cable, a tool carried on the end of the cable and couplings on the opposite ends of the cable. The flexible plumbers cable includes an elongate hollow outer body member defining a longitudinal axis and a resilient intermediate body carried within the outer body. The resilient intermediate body carried within the outer body has along its periphery at least one wear detector prominence extending radially outwardly between at least one selected turn of the helically coiled outer body. The at least one wear detector has at least one color change in the radial direction to provide a visual indication visual indication to a user of the tool of an amount of wear in the tool. Further, a tool on an end of a flexible plumbers cable includes a wear detector. A flexible plumbers cable section includes an elongate cable portion, first and second coupling portions on opposite ends of the cable section, and a wear indicator on the coupling portions. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20110045746 | PREPARATION TOOLS FOR PIPE ENDS AND RELATED METHODS - Various systems, tools, and methods are described for rendering regions of coated pipe suitable for receiving press fittings. The systems, tools, and methods may also be applicable for transforming regions of pipe, coated or uncoated, and which are otherwise unsuitable for sealingly engaging press fittings, so that reliable and leak-proof seals can be made between the pipe and press fittings. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20100326364 | ANIMAL EUTHANASIA DEVICES - Animal euthanasia devices include an animal receiving region, a user input mechanism operatively connected to the animal receiving region, and a control system configured to be operatively connected to a current source. The control system is configured to selectively permit current to flow from the current source through an animal to be euthanized that is positioned within the animal receiving region to effectively and humanely euthanize the animal. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20090130112 | SPATIAL FOR ALTERING CELL PROLIFERATION - This disclosure provides methods useful for altering cell proliferation by modifying SPATIAL activity in cells. In some methods, thymocyte numbers in subjects with disease-associated immunodeficiencies are increased by administering an agent that inhibits SPATIAL activity. Also provided are methods useful for increasing thymocyte number in a subject by administering an agent that interferes with an interaction between SPATIAL and Uba3. In other methods, cell growth is inhibited by introducing or expressing a SPATIAL or SPATIAL-related polypeptide or nucleic acid in one or more cell(s), such as neoplastic cell(s). Further provided are methods of identifying agents that modify (for example, inhibit) SPATIAL expression or activity, or which interfere with an interaction between SPATIAL and Uba3 polypeptides, and therefore which are useful in influencing thymocyte number. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20110052547 | RAPAMYCIN-RESISTANT T CELLS AND THERAPEUTIC USES THEREOF - Methods for generating highly enriched Th1/Tc1 and Th2/Tc2 functions are described. In particular, the generation of these functions are attained by the addition of an immune suppression drug, rapamycin or a rapamycin derivative compound. In addition to enhanced purity of T cell function, the T cells generated in rapamycin also express molecules that improve immune T cell function such as CD28 and CD62L. Such rapamycin generated functional T cell subsets may have application in the prevention or treatment of GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the treatment of autoimmunity, or the therapy of infection or cancer. | 03-03-2011 |
