| 20110011668 | SEISMIC WAVE GENERATING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A seismic wave generating device and methods for generating seismic waves having a relatively strong longitudinal energy and a relatively weak transverse energy are disclosed. A device may have a hollow casing and a striking member passing through the hollow casing, the striking member or the hollow casing bearing a spacing member. A method may drive the hollow casing into the earth, then remove earth from within the hollow casing. The method may place a striking member through the hollow casing and may drive the striking member further into the earth to create seismic waves with a relatively strong longitudinal energy and a relatively weak transverse energy. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20100290153 | SERVO PROCESSORS THAT ALTERNATELY CONTROL HEAD POSITIONING RELATIVE TO SEQUENTIAL SERVO PATTERNS - The operational bandwidth of a servo control circuit can be increased using a plurality of servo processors that handoff between them the responsibility for controlling head positioning in response to sequentially occurring servo patterns. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20090018892 | OPTION FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGING ON DEMAND SERVICE OFFERINGS - A method of and system for managing on-demand service offerings in a service delivery chain. The method comprises the steps of a service provider announcing upfront capacity pricing, an on-demand premium structure, and an on-demand exercise structure; a service distributor committing to upfront capacity and to units of on-demand options; and the service provider provisioning a number of resources to the collection of service distributors. Preferably, the upfront capacity pricing includes three components. A first component is a price structure for capacity or resources to be purchased for immediate use, a second component is an on-demand premium structure, and a third component is an on-demand usage fee structure. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20110091881 | MYCOBACTERIAL GENES DOWN-REGULATED DURING LATENCY - A method is provided for identifying mycobacterial genes the expression of which is down-regulated during a stationary phase culture of mycobacteria under nutrient-starving conditions when compared with an exponential phase culture of mycobacteria under culture conditions that are not nutrient-starving and that support exponential growth of said mycobacteria. The described method optionally provides for identifying mycobacterial genes that are simultaneously down-regulated under low DOT conditions. The down-regulated genes of the present invention form the basis of nucleic acid vaccines, or provide targets to allow preparation of attenuated mycobacteria for vaccines against mycobacterial infections. Similarly, peptides encoded by said down-regulated genes are employed in vaccines. In a further embodiment, the identified genes/peptides provide the means for identifying the presence of a mycobacterial infection in a clinical sample by nucleic acid probe or antibody detection. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20090082296 | MYCOBACTERIAL ANTIGENS EXPRESSED DURING LATENCY - A method is provided for identifying mycobacterial genes that are induced or up-regulated under culture conditions that are nutrient-starving and which maintain mycobacterial latency, said conditions being obtainable by batch fermentation of a mycobacterium for at least 20 days post-inoculation, when compared with culture conditions that are not nutrient-starving and which support exponential growth of said mycobacterium. Said induced or up-regulated genes form the basis of nucleic acid vaccines, or provide targets to allow preparation of attenuated mycobacteria for vaccines against mycobacterial infections. Similarly, peptides encoded by said induced or up-regulated genes are employed in vaccines. In a further embodiment, the identified genes/peptides provide the means for identifying the presence of a mycobacterial infection in a clinical sample by nucleic acid probe or antibody detection. | 03-26-2009 |
