| 20110206465 | METHOD OF LOCATING A SUBSEA STRUCTURE FOR DEPLOYMENT - A method of locating a subsea structure beneath a floating deployment vessel for deployment to a seabed including at least the steps of: (a) transporting the subsea structure on a floating transporting vessel near to the deployment vessel; (b) lowering the transporting vessel to allow the subsea structure to float; (c) relocating either the transporting vessel or the subsea structure to allow the subsea structure to be separate of the transporting vessel; and (d) locating the subsea structure beneath the deployment vessel using one or more buoyancy elements with variable buoyancy. | 08-25-2011 |

| 20090325882 | CHAPERONIN 10 MODULATION OF TOLL-LIKE RECEPTOR-INDUCIBLE CYTOKINE AND CHEMOKINE SECRETION - Methods of use of Chaperonin 10 (Cpn10) are provided for regulating Toll-like receptor signaling and/or Toll-like receptor inducible immunomodulator secretion. Cpn10 negatively regulates Toll-like receptor agonist-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine secretion, examples being IL-6 and RANTES, respectively. Cpn10 positively regulates Toll-like receptor agonist-induced anti-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine secretion, an example being IL-10. These immunoregulatory activities of Cpn10 may be useful in the treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions resulting from excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine secretion. This invention also relates to producing, designing and/or screening Cpn10 agonists and antagonists according to their ability to regulate Toll-like receptor signaling and/or Toll-like receptor inducible immunomodulator secretion. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20100221712 | CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNE RESPONSE ASSAY AND KITS THEREFOR - The present invention provides methods and kits for measuring a cell-mediated immune (CMI) in a small volume of whole undiluted blood collected from a subject. In particular, the methods are for measuring responses in undiluted whole blood samples having a volume of, for example, 50 μl to 500 μl. Thus, capillary sampling and rapid testing of subjects including pediatric, adult or geriatric human subjects are facilitated. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20110077953 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS TO ANALYZE LAUNCH OPPORTUNITIES - This paper proposes a new method and architecture for populating, updating and managing the NAB. It also proposes user's Contact Information Discovery (CID). In context of populating the NAB; since the NAB of each individual subscriber will be stored in the network in future, the paper proposes CI to flow from one NAB to another NAB within the core network, instead of CI flowing from Device to Network. Thus with the user authorization, his CI would shoot from one NAB to another NAB within the core network instead of from LAB to NAB through air interface. It would reduce huge amount of data traffic on the air that otherwise would be generated in updating and populating the NAB by all the NAB users. In context of CID, the paper proposes a query-response mechanism and introduces a NAB Manager. The new architecture will provide several benefits for example it will eliminate the need of “Number Portability,” “United States National Do Not Call Registry” and “411 Directory Assistance.” | 03-31-2011 |

| 20090262011 | Instantaneous Radar Polarimetry - A radar system and method that employs polarization-time diversity in transmitting signals and concurrently processing received reflections from both polarization modes provides information about the scattering matrix of a target without loss of information. Illustratively, the transmitted signals from Golay pairs, and the processing method employs a complex-conjugate time reversal operand. The received reflected signals are processed for a particular distance in mind to develop a scattering matrix of the medium at that distance. By comparing the scattering matrix to known scattering matrices an identification of the target from where the transmitted signals were reflected is obtained. | 10-22-2009 |
