| 20090191026 | Round bale handling apparatus - An apparatus for handling and transporting round bales. The apparatus can be mounted on the back of flatbed truck. The hay spear is retractable such that the truck can be attached to a trailer without dismounting the device. The hay spear contains two spikes that straddles the ball hitch. The spikes are attached to a shaft which is mounted to the backend to of the truck bed. The mechanism is mounted with four solid bearings such that it can rotate 190 degrees. On the right side of the truck beds surface is a mounted hydraulic cylinder with a piston. The piston is attached to a double solid bearing linkage bar for lifting and transporting large bales of hay. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20080274460 | Common allele on chromosome 9 associated with coronary heart disease - Disclosed are methods and compositions for determining whether a person carries an allele associated with increased risk for coronary atherosclerosis by determining whether the person has had RA-CHR9 allel, such as by determining whether the person has an RA-CHR9 allele-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080274471 | Methods for detecting an increased risk for coronary heart disease - The invention relates generally to an allele on human chromosome 9 associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease and the use or detection of such an allele in determining whether a human has an increased risk for coronary heart disease. In one aspect, the invention relates to methods for detecting a predisposition or propensity or susceptibility for coronary heart disease in a human, comprising detecting the presence of an allele on human chromosome 9 that is associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease in a human. Disclosed are methods and compositions for determining whether a person carries an allele associated with increased risk for coronary atherosclerosis by determining whether the person has an RA-CHR9 allele, such as by determining whether the person has an RA-CHR9 allele-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The invention also relates to kits for detecting the presence of an allele on chromosome 9 associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20100056384 | Sequence Variations in PNPLA3 Associated with Hepatic Steatosis - Disclosed are methods of identifying a genetic variant in a person determined to have or be predisposed having a fatty liver by determining whether the person has PNPLA3-I148M. Also disclosed are methods of identifying a genetic variant in a person by determining whether the person has PNPLA3-I148M; and prescribing to the person a treatment to reduce liver fat or associated inflammation. | 03-04-2010 |

| 20100250139 | MOBILE WELLSITE MONITORING - Methods for monitoring a wellsite include transporting a mobile monitoring platform to a wellsite. The mobile monitoring platform includes a transportable chassis including two or more wheels; a mast supported by the platform and extendable vertically upward from the chassis; a transceiver including a wireless modem and an antenna; a controller adapted to communicate with the transceiver; and a power module electrically coupled to at least one of the transceiver and the processor. The methods include wirelessly receiving, at the transceiver, wellsite data from a plurality of sensors at or adjacent the wellsite; and wirelessly transmitting, in real-time, the wellsite data to a remote monitoring station | 09-30-2010 |

| 20100019520 | SERVER SYSTEM LIFTING DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE - A server system lifting device includes a bearing area foldable at a midline. The bearing area includes a front portion and a rear portion that are defined by the midline. A plurality of handles are coupled to the bearing area. The plurality of handles includes two front handles coupled to opposite sides of the front portion of the bearing area and two rear handles coupled to opposite sides of the rear portion of the bearing area. The midline extends between the opposite sides. The bearing area is characterized by a width greater than or equal to a width of a server system chassis and a length such that the two forward handles are forward of a center of gravity of the server system chassis, and the two rear handles are posterior to the center of gravity, when the midline is approximately aligned with the center of gravity. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090056645 | Rotational vessel heating - Aqueous fluids are heated or boiled in a tank or vessel by causing cavitation in the fluid within the tank or vessel. A rotor having cavities on its cylindrical surface is rotated within a closely dimensioned housing submerged in the fluid, deliberately causing cavitation which heats the aqueous fluid without the use of flame or heat exchange surface. An electric motor which powers the rotor may itself be submerged in the tank or boiler vessel. The rotor includes radial channels for imparting centrifugal impetus to the fluid as it flows toward the cavitation zone. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090140444 | Compressed gas system useful for producing light weight drilling fluids - A compressor station having at least one primary compressor and a booster compressor is controlled to conserve energy and air, and to respond quickly to sudden changes in demand for air, by employing a volume bottle to buffer changes in air pressure and by recycling already compressed air from the intake to the output of the booster compressor. The system may be used in air drilling and to provide compressed air for generating low density drilling fluid on site by injecting microbubbles into a base drilling fluid. Two different methods of generating microbubbles are illustrated. The primary and booster compressors are kept in a state of readiness during drill pipe connection time, providing for a rapid resumption of pressure and air flow after connection is completed. The system can utilize gases other than air. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090166171 | Trifunctional membrane tube arrays - Membrane tubes or similar membrane devices are arrayed in layers so that liquid placed on their outer surfaces may be evaporated and also drain onto lower membrane devices. The entire array is subjected to moving air to enhance evaporation. The membrane devices function as filters while permeating water from industrial fluids while also providing evaporative surfaces to reduce the volume of used aqueous industrial fluids. The retentate surfaces of the membrane devices may also be on the interiors of the devices, and the permeate contacted with flowing air to evaporate the permeate. Unevaporated permeate is collected in either configuration for use as clean water, and concentrated fluid may be more easily handled, disposed or, and/or its components recycled. A cavitation device may be used to heat the aqueous industrial fluid to enhance permeation and evaporation rates with minimal scaling. | 07-02-2009 |
