A determination of the presence or amount of the complex can be used in methods for predicting, detecting, monitoring a disease, or guiding therapy in respect to a disease such as vascular, vascular-related disease, cardiac, cardiac-related disease, cancer, cancer-related disease, preeclampsia, and preeclampsia-related disease. Determining sFlt-07-09-2009
20090176264Calibrator/Control for Simultaneous Assay of Proteins Capable of Complexing With One Another - Disclosed herein are compositions and methods comprising two or more proteins in which at least one of the proteins has been altered to reduce their mutual recognition and binding. Such compositions are useful as reference, calibrators or controls in methods and assays for determining the amount of one or more of the proteins that may be present in a sample of interest or in confirming the presence of one or more of the proteins in the sample. More particularly, it relates to compositions and methods comprising altered placental growth factor-1 (PlGF-1) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1) and methods for determining the amount or confirming the presence of sFlt-1 and/or PlGF-1 in a sample of interest.07-09-2009
20100297607Reagents For HCV Antigen-Antibody Combination Assays - The present invention is directed to combination immunoassays, reagents and kits for simultaneous detection of HCV antigens and anti-HCV antibodies in a sample. The combination immunoassays of the present invention employ a non-ionic detergent that effectively exposes or releases the HCV core antigen from virions in a sample without interfering with the performance of other reagents such as the capture of anti-HCV antibodies by recombinant HCV antigens.11-25-2010

20100193284EXHAUST CHAMBER FOR THE EXHAUST LINE OF AN AUTOMOBILE - The exhaust chamber for a motor vehicle exhaust line includes: a main envelope defining a main enclosure and having an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet; and at least one saucer-shaped shell having an opening defined by a peripheral edge of the shell, the or each shell being tightly connected to an outside surface of the main envelope along the peripheral edge, the shell, with the main envelope, defining a secondary enclosure. The main envelope has, beneath the shell, a plurality of perforations for placing the main enclosure in communication with the secondary enclosure. The main envelope has, in a first area located beneath the shell, at least one slot for increasing the elasticity of the first area, and/or the main envelope has, in a second area that is not covered by the shell, at least one rib for increasing the stiffness of the second area.08-05-2010

20080265212Sulfur-tolerant and carbon-resistant catalysts - The invention relates to novel bimetallic and trimetallic catalysts, their manufacture and use in both steam reforming and oxidative steam reforming of liquid fuels such as jet fuels, diesel fuels and gasoline to produce synthesis gas and/or hydrogen for fuel cell applications. The invention further relates to manufacture of synthesis gas and/or hydrogen gas for chemicals synthesis and fuel processing. The catalysts have high sulfur tolerance and carbon resistance when used in steam reforming and/or oxidative steam reforming of heavy hydrocarbon fuels.10-30-2008
20100116134HIGH RATE AND HIGH CRUSH-STRENGTH ADSORBENTS - High rate and high crush-strength adsorbent particles and collections of such particles, and particularly LiLSX particles, are provided. A binder is employed in the form of a colloidal solution during the method of manufacture. Suitable binders include various silica binders. The particles are made using the steps of mixing, agglomeration, calcination and in the case of certain adsorbents such as LiX and LiLSX, ion exchange and activation. When the adsorption rate is expressed in the form SCRR/ε05-13-2010

20100025382STRATEGICALLY PLACED LARGE GRAINS IN SUPERALLOY CASTING TO IMPROVE WELDABILITY - Process for reducing cracking in superalloy metal components by selectively growing large single grains during the casting operation at a region where fusion welding will be required.02-04-2010
20100034692NICKEL-BASE SUPERALLOY, UNIDIRECTIONAL-SOLIDIFICATION PROCESS THEREFOR, AND CASTINGS FORMED THEREFROM - An alloy composition and method by which the incidence of freckling can be reduced in castings produced with properties similar to the René N5 nickel-base superalloy. The casting has a unidirectional crystal structure and a composition consisting of, by weight, 6% to 8% chromium, 6% to 9% cobalt, 0% to 2% molybdenum, 4% to 6% tungsten, 6.4% to 6.9% tantalum, 0% to 2% titanium, 5% to 7% aluminum, 2.7% to 3.0% rhenium, 0.3% to 0.7% haffiium, 0.04% to 0.08% carbon, 0.002% to 0.006% boron, 0% to 0.075% yttrium, 0.002% to 0.004% zirconium, the balance being nickel and incidental impurities.02-11-2010

20090102832SELECTIVE REFRESH OF COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN DRAWINGS - Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for updating drawing elements of a first computer aided design (CAD) drawing to reflect changes to corresponding drawing elements in a second CAD drawing. A method for updating a CAD drawing may include receiving a selection of drawing elements from the second CAD drawing, where the first CAD drawing is derived, at least in part, from the drawing elements of the second CAD drawing. The method may also include identifying drawing elements of the first CAD drawing that correspond with the selected drawing elements of the second CAD drawing, updating a geometry of the identified drawing elements of the first CAD drawing to reflect a geometry of the corresponding drawing elements of the second CAD drawing, and preserving a visual appearance of drawing elements the first CAD drawing not updated.04-23-2009
20090184964REGION FILLING USING MATCHING CRITERIA - A method for filling closed regions in a drawing using a region filling tool that may appear as a paint bucket. Rather than independently selecting regions to fill or filling based on style-by-layer techniques, the user selects a seed region such that other regions of the drawing are filled if parameters of the other regions match the parameters of the seed region. Matching criteria parameters may include an exact match parameter, a shape matching parameter, a layer matching parameter, and a line weight matching parameter. The parameters may be used alone or in conjunction with other parameters. In this manner, multiple regions in the drawing that are similar to the seed region may be filled using one interaction with the region filling tool. This approach allows the user to more efficiently and intuitively fill regions in the drawing.07-23-2009
20090184966USER-DIRECTED PATH-BASED REGION FILLING - A method for filling closed regions in a drawing using a region filling tool. Rather than selecting individual regions to fill, or filling based on style-by-layer techniques, the user creates a path or an area boundary to identify the regions to be filled. A graphics application may then fill each region that intersects the path or area boundary with a selected color or graphical style. In this manner, multiple regions in the drawing may be identified using one interaction with the region filling tool, allowing the user to more efficiently and intuitively fill regions in the drawing with the selected color or graphical style.07-23-2009
