20110213781FILTERED REMOTE JOURNAL - An operating system on a source computer system includes a filtered remote journal mechanism that generates a target map of a remote journal to specify where in the remote journal entries will be stored, then generates a vector array that represents the data of interest in the database journal based on specified selection criteria and the target map. The vector array and location information from the target map is then sent to a communication manager, which sends the data indicated in the vector array to the target computer system. On the target computer system, the communication manager reads the data sent from the source computer system and writes the data to the remote journal. The filtered remote journal mechanism may operate on an existing database journal, or may operate iteratively as journal entries are written on the source computer system.09-01-2011

20110239447Recessed fitting installation tool - The “recessed installation tool” is for remote installation of a fire sprinkler head adaptor, or other device while it is positioned in a recessed or obstructed area that does not allow standard installation methods. This invention is a device for installing sprinkler heads from the type of overhead sprinkler systems commonly found in residential or commercial buildings. The device (or tool) would accommodate the “CPVC CUT BACK KIT” and the specific use of this tool is for obstructed or recessed fire sprinkler heads or adapters with minimum access holes or cuts. It being unique as it is a “code compliant” way to cut back a fire sprinkler head in or above hard ceilings such as drywall, stucco, or plaster without opening up the ceiling to perform the task. This tool is the only code compliant way to reinstall the “head adapter” without damaging the sprinkler head with the CPVC® cement, glue or bonding agent. This installation tool keeps the waterway open as the cement, glue or bonding agent dries. This tool also installs the slip by thread adapter for hose bibs or other fittings of standard ½″, ¾″ or 1″ size that need to be adjusted that are concealed above or behind block, stucco or drywall.10-06-2011

20080256994Multi-Point Door Lock and Offset Extension Bolt Assembly - A multi-point door lock assembly has a central lock and an extension bolt for securing the door to a door frame. The assembly has an actuator positioned at the central lock and moveable between a first and second position along an axis. The assembly further has an elongated extension bolt residing along a bolt axis. The actuator and the bolt are secured in a configuration that displaces the axis of the bolt in spaced relationship from the axis of the actuator by an adaptor having a body length. The adaptor has a first end connected to the actuator and a second end connected to the extension bolt, and an intermediate portion between the first and second ends configured to displace the bolt axis for the bolt to pass through an interior portion of an associated door member.10-23-2008

20120067497BONDING TOOL FOR ATTACHING PREPARED ADHESIVE TO BONDING PART - A manually operated or automated bonding tool for the attachment of a formed adhesive element to a bonding part is disclosed. The bonding tool includes a loading module in which the bare bonding part is loaded, an oven module in which the bare bonding part is heated, an adhesive picking station module in which the adhesive is attached to the heated bare bonding part, and a part transfer module which advances the bare bonding part sequentially from the loading module, through the oven module, and to the adhesive picking station module. The modules are mounted on a base plate. The loading module includes a bare bonding part-retaining aperture formed in its top and an adjacent finger notch. The oven module receives the unheated bare bonding part from the loading module. The oven module includes an elongated heating block having a bonding part guide by which the bare bonding parts are transferred through the oven and to the adhesive picking station module where the formed adhesive element is attached to the heated bare bonding part. The part transfer module is used to push the unheated bare bonding part into and through the oven module and into position on the adhesive picking station module. An applicator is used to remove the bonding part with the attached formed adhesive element from the adhesive picking station module and into position on a selected substrate.03-22-2012

20100029022METHOD FOR IMPROVED UTILIZATION OF SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIAL - In a method for producing semiconductor components, in which chips are structured, tested, and isolated into dies on a wafer, in the event of a wafer being broken during the method, undamaged chips of a fragment of the wafer delimited by at least one edge section and at least one fracture contour are processed further as usual. The method has the result that the yield of usable chips is significantly increased in relation to the discarding and disposal of broken wafers provided in the prior art. The average production costs of electronic components and the loss of valuable semiconductor materials and the costs for the disposal of the fragments viewed as discards up to this point are thus significantly reduced.02-04-2010

20090169478In Vivo Imaging and Therapy with Magnetic Nanoparticle Conjugates - A non-invasive in vivo technique is disclosed, useful for example in detecting cancers and micrometastases. The technique may be used to selectively deliver drugs to target cells such as tumors, metastases, micrometastases, and individual malignant cells. Ligands with specificity for a target cell receptor, and optionally drug molecules as well, are covalently bound to magnetic nanoparticles, either directly or through a spacer molecule. The ligand precludes the need for a separate coating layer. For example, human breast cancer cells express receptors both for luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG), and for luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH). These cells can be specifically targeted by iron oxide nanoparticles covalently linked to LH/CG or LHRH. The nanoparticles are incorporated into the cancer cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis. The specific accumulation in targeted cancer cells enhances resolution for imaging, therapy, or both. The ligand may, for example, be a hormone, receptor, or antibody, or a fragment thereof.07-02-2009
20100016227LIGAND/LYTIC PEPTIDE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE - Amphipathic lytic peptides are ideally suited to use in a ligand/cytotoxin combination to specifically inhibit cells that are driven by or are dependent upon a specific ligand interaction; for example, to induce sterility or long-term contraception, or to attack tumor cells, or to selectively lyse virally-infected cells, or to attack lymphocytes responsible for autoimmune diseases. The peptides act directly on cell membranes, and need not be internalized. Administering a combination of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) (or a GnRH agonist) and a membrane-active lytic peptide produces long-term contraception or sterilization in animals in vivo. Administering in vivo a combination of a ligand and a membrane-active lytic peptide kills cells with a receptor for the ligand. The compounds are relatively small, and are not antigenic. Lysis of gonadotropes has been observed to be very rapid (on the order of ten minutes.) Lysis of tumor cells is rapid. The two components—the ligand and the lytic peptide—may optionally be administered as a fusion peptide, or they may be administered separately, with the ligand administered slightly before the lytic peptide, to activate cells with receptors for the ligand, and thereby make those cells susceptible to lysis by the lytic peptide. The compounds may be used in gene therapy to treat malignant or non-malignant tumors, and other diseases caused by clones or populations of “normal” host cells bearing specific receptors (such as lymphocytes), because genes encoding a lytic peptide or encoding a lytic peptide/peptide hormone fusion may readily be inserted into hematopoietic stem cells or myeloid precursor cells.01-21-2010
20110263500Curcumin Conjugates for Treating and Preventing Cancers - Conjugating LHRH to curcumin (LHRH-Curcumin) substantially enhances the bioavailability of curcumin, targets it to cells expressing LHRH receptors, facilitates intravenous administration, and increases the anti-cancer efficacy of curcumin. The conjugate may be used against cancer cells that express the LHRH receptor: pancreas, prostate, breast, testicular, uterine, ovarian, melanoma. LH-Curcumin conjugates may be used against cancer cells that express the LH receptor: prostate, breast, ovary, testis, uterus, pancreas, and melanoma.10-27-2011
