| 20100071389 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HIGHLY EFFICIENT COMPACT VAPOR COMPRESSION COOLING - The subject invention pertains to a method and apparatus for cooling. In a specific embodiment, the subject invention relates to a lightweight, compact, reliable, and efficient cooling system. The subject system can provide heat stress relief to individuals operating under, for example, hazardous conditions, or in elevated temperatures, while wearing protective clothing. The subject invention also relates to a condenser for transferring heat from a refrigerant to an external fluid in thermal contact with the condenser. The subject condenser can have a heat transfer surface and can be designed for an external fluid, such as air, to flow across the heat transfer surface and allow the transfer of heat from heat transfer surface to the external fluid. In a specific embodiment, the flow of the external fluid is parallel to the heat transfer surface. In another specific embodiment, the heat transfer surface can incorporate surface enhancements which enhance the transfer of heat from the heat transfer surface to the external fluid. In another specific embodiment, an outer layer can be positioned above the heat transfer surface to create a volume between the heat transfer surface and the outer layer through which the external fluid can flow. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090319393 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIRELESS SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD AND REMOTE TRANSACTION SETTLEMENT - A portable computer in a store can be carried past a kiosk and wirelessly receive from the kiosk demonstration versions of software, along with an ID of the store. Later, after using the demonstration version, the user can access a Web server and purchase a full version of the software. During the transaction, the store ID is provided to the server, which can then credit the particular store at which the demonstration version was obtained with a sale. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20100299068 | APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE CONCENTRATION OF A CONDUCTIVE FLUID PRESENT IN A FLUID FILLED BOREHOLE - An apparatus for determining the concentration of a conductive fluid present in a fluid filled bore hole is described. Such apparatus are known as water hold-up meters and are frequently used in oil, gas and water filled bore holes. In bore hole applications, data bandwidth between a down hole device and the surface can be limited, while determining water hold-up based on down hole measurements can be data intensive. A technique is proposed for calculating the water hold up that requires less data to be transmitted between the down hole device and the surface. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20120023827 | Driving System for An Automatic Sliding Door - The present invention relates to a driving system for an automatic sliding door. The driving system includes a driver and a rack and pinion mechanism. The pinion is adapted to cause sliding movement of the door in a first or second direction when operatively connected to a corresponding rack associated with the door. The pinion is selectively attachable to the driver in two positions: (a) a first position in order to cause sliding movement of the door in the first direction; and (b) a second position in order to cause sliding movement of the door in the second direction. The present invention also relates to a device for indicating whether a driving system is suitable for driving a sliding door. The device includes a first end, a region including one or more calibrations; and a second end. The first end is adapted to be pulled by a user. The second end is adapted to be selectively and detachably attached to one of the calibrations. The region is located between the first end and the second end. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20090176216 | Alleles and polymorphisms predictive of responsiveness to biologic therapy in psoriasis - The invention provides methods for predicting responsiveness to a biologic agent in a subject suffering from psoriasis. The methods involve assaying for the presence or absence of an allele or polymorphism in the subject that is predictive of responsiveness to biologic therapy, such as an HLA-Cw6 allele, a TNFα 238 polymorphism or a TNFα 308 polymorphism. The methods can further comprise selecting a treatment regimen with a biologic agent in a psoriasis subject based upon presence or absence of the allele or polymorphism in the subject. The methods can further comprise administering a biologic agent to the subject according to the selected treatment regimen. Kits that include means for assaying an allele or polymorphism that is predictive of responsiveness to biologic therapy for psoriasis are also provided. Methods of preparing and using databases, and computer program products therefore, for selecting a psoriasis subject for treatment with a biologic agent are also provided. | 07-09-2009 |
