Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100223338METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING MESSAGES - A sender creates a multi-part message having a recipient field including identifiers of recipients of the message and an identifier of the sender. The multi-part message comprises a main message having a content A. Further, the multi-part message comprises an auxiliary message, having a recipient field including identifiers of recipients of the auxiliary message, and a content B. The message is split into two messages: a main message having a header and a content A; and a first auxiliary message having a header and a content B. Association data for associating the main message to the first auxiliary message is created. The first and second messages are transmitted together with the association data. The messages are received and are dynamically re-combined according to the recipients. Recipient 09-02-2010

20100041033SITE SPECIFIC SYSTEM FOR GENERATING DIVERSITY PROTEIN SEQUENCES - This invention relates to the diversification of nucleic acid sequences by use of a nucleic acid molecule containing a region of sequence that acts as a template for diversification. The invention thus provides nucleic acid molecules to be diversified, as well as those which act as the template region (TR) and in concert with the TR for directional, site-specific diversification. Further provided are methods of preparing and using these nucleic acid sequences.02-18-2010

20090265370QUERY AUTHORING BY MODIFYING A VIEW OF THE RESULTS OF THE QUERY - Technologies and concepts are described herein for authoring a database query through the modification of a view of the data to be returned by the query. A user interface is provided for authoring a database query through the modification of a view of the data to be returned by the query that includes a view showing the results of a database query. A user interface is also provided for modifying the view to define the results of the query. As the view is modified, a query definition is generated which, when executed against the database, will return the results of the database query shown in the view. When the desired results are shown in the view, the query definition can be saved and run against the database to perform the database query.10-22-2009

20120040868Combinatorial Synthesis of Diamond - Disclosed is a combinatorial synthesis of Diamond wherein a first reactive species is produced by catalytic treatment of Acetylene, a second reactive species is produced by decomposition of a hydrocarbon source having a low Hydrogen-to-Carbon ratio using a high energy discharge, and the two reactive species so obtained are combined in the vapor phase to yield Diamond without the need of post-treatments. The reaction is efficient and affords Diamond under mild conditions with high purity such that it may be useful for producing Diamond for semiconductor and microelectronics applications.02-16-2012

20100104748CLOSED-CELL SURFACES WITH ENHANCED DRAG-REDUCTION PROPERTIES - An apparatus, comprising a plurality of closed cells disposed on a surface of a substrate. Each of the closed cells has at least one dimension that is less than about 1 millimeter and are configured to hold a medium therein. The apparatus also comprises a foam that contacts the closed cells. The foam has fluid walls that include a surfactant, and bubbles of the foam layer are filled with the medium.04-29-2010
20100183906RESERVE CELL-ARRAY NANOSTRUCTRED BATTERY - A battery having an electrode with at least one nanostructured surface is disclosed wherein the nanostructured surface is divided into cells and is disposed in a way such that an electrolyte fluid of the battery is prevented from contacting the portion of electrode associated with each cell. When a voltage is passed over the nanostructured surface associated with a particular cell, the electrolyte fluid is caused to penetrate the nanostructured surface of that cell and to contact the electrode, thus activating the portion of the battery associated with that cell. The current/voltage generated by the battery is controlled by selectively activating only a portion of the cells. Multiple cells can be active simultaneously to produce the desired voltage. The more cells that are active, the higher the current/voltage and the lower the overall life of the battery. The life of the battery can be extended by activating fewer cells simultaneously.07-22-2010
20100221597REVERSIBLY-ACTIVATED NANOSTRUCTURED BATTERY - A battery having a nanostructured battery electrode is disclosed wherein it is possible to reverse the contact of the electrolyte with the battery electrode and, thus, to return a battery to a reserve state after it has been used to generate current. In order to achieve this reversibility, the nanostructures on the battery electrode comprise a plurality of closed cells and the pressure within the enclosed cells is varied. In a first embodiment, the pressure is varied by varying the temperature of a fluid within the cells by, for example, applying a voltage to electrodes disposed within said cells. In a second illustrative embodiment, once the battery has been fully discharged, the battery is recharged and then the electrolyte fluid is expelled from the cells in a way such that it is no longer in contact with the battery electrode.09-02-2010

20110287056AGENTS AND METHODS TO ELICIT ANTI-TUMOR IMMUNE RESPONSE - The invention provides an isolated, purified population of human cells comprising CD8+ T cells with reduced Cbl-b activity. The invention provides uses of such cells in methods for inducing or enhancing an anti-tumor immune response in a subject. These methods comprise: (a) providing a cell population, from a subject or from another source, which comprises CD8+ T cells, (b) reducing Cbl-b activity in the CD8+ T-cells, (c) administering the cells of step (b) to the subject. The invention provides methods for making CD8+ T cells that do not require stimulation through a co-receptor in order for the cell to become activated or proliferated in response to contact via its T cell receptor. Such methods are based upon reducing function of Cbl-b. The invention also provides methods for identifying agents which affect Cbl-b expression or activity.11-24-2011

20100251340SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING THIRD PARTY APPLICATION PROGRAM ACCESS TO USER INFORMATION VIA A NATIVE APPLICATION PROGRAM INTERFACE (API) - A method for managing third party application program access to user information via a particular native application program interface (API) is provided. The method includes providing a wrapped native API including a wrapper library and inspecting a third party application program for the presence of the wrapper library in an unmodified form. The application program is inspected to identify API calls. An identified API call to a circumventing API is instrumented by wrapping the circumventing API to generate a wrapped non-circumventing API and modifying the third party application program to redirect the identified API call from the circumventing API to the wrapped non-circumventing API. A request for a permission to access user information is received from the third party application program via the wrapper library executed on a user device. An authorization is received to provide the permission to access the user information, and the permission to access the user information is provided to the executed third party application program.09-30-2010
