| 20090269353 | Stimulation of T Cells Against Self-Antigens Using CTLA-4 Blocking Agents - Stimulation of T cells to respond to self antigens is achieved through a blockade of CTLA-4 signaling. CTLA-4 blocking agents are combined with antigen preparations, either alone or with additional immune response stimulating agents, in costimulation strategies to break immune tolerance and stimulate an enhanced T-cell response against self antigens. This enhanced response is useful for the treatment of non-immunogenic and poorly-immunogenic tumors, as well as other medical conditions requiring selective tissue ablation. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20100044939 | Minimal to non-bulging urethane compression springs - Urethane compression springs are designed to complement steel wire compression springs where such conditions as confined space, corrosion, vibration and magnetism prevent the use of conventional steel compression springs. Urethane spring material is a polyether-elastomer that reacts similarly to an incompressible fluid. As such, urethane springs bulge when compressed, requiring additional counteractive design remedies. The embodiments of this invention eliminate or minimize that bulging condition and counteractive remedies by having indentations in surfaces of the urethane spring. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090308228 | Musical note speedometer - An electronic device that receives a signal indicative of the sound made my a musical instrument in order to determine the instantaneous rate of play of melodic notes on that instrument in terms of notes played per second and display the rate in real time via a display. The regularity of the musician's rate of play is further indicated by the stability of the display reading. Individual sustained melodic notes are identified utilizing differential capacitance and circuit delay time constants to generate a voltage differential in response to a step signal. The device is also selectively operable as a conventional metronome to provide an exemplary sound cue to the musician corresponding to a given number of notes per second and convertible by a switch or foot pedal to monitor the musicians rate of play as he tries to match the demonstrated rate. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20100058735 | OPERATIONAL LINE MANAGEMENT OF LOW PRESSURE COMPRESSOR IN A TURBOFAN ENGINE - A turbofan engine control system is provided for managing a low pressure compressor operating line. The engine includes a low spool having a low pressure compressor housed in a core nacelle. A turbofan is coupled to the low spool. A fan nacelle surrounds the turbofan and core nacelle and provides a bypass flow path having a nozzle exit area. A controller is programmed to effectively change the nozzle exit area in response to an undesired low pressure compressor stability margin which can result in a stall or surge condition. In one example, the physical nozzle exit area is decreased at the undesired stability condition occurring during engine deceleration. A low pressure compressor pressure ratio, low spool speed and throttle position are monitored to determine the undesired stability margin. | 03-11-2010 |
