| 20090248597 | Method and apparatus for computing a change plan - A method, and computer program product for computing a change plan are presented. A model of a current configuration is identified, the model including modeled system assets and modeled tasks. A request to change the current configuration to a new configuration is received. The request to change the current configuration to generate a plurality of valid strategies to be used in a genetic programming parse tree corresponding to modeled assets and modeled tasks of said model is applied to the model. The request to change the current configuration is applied to at least one of said valid strategies to generate a plurality of potential change plans. The change plans are evolved according to genetic programming principles to a preferred change plan. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20090107593 | RDX EXPLOSIVE AND METHOD - A method for producing particulate RDX is provided. RDX is dissolved and then precipitated with the precipitated RDX being separated from the mixture of solvent and anti-solvent and dried. The RDX has an increased insensitivity, i.e., it is more resistant to shock or impact stimuli and has a morphology characterized by a smooth surface and small particle size as formed. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20110174317 | PREPARATION OF ELASTIC COMPOSITE STRUCTURES USEFUL FOR COMPONENTS OF DISPOSABLE HYGIENE PRODUCTS AND ARTICLES OF APPAREL - Disclosed herein are articles and processes for making elastic composite structures which can be used as or converted into a component of disposable hygiene products or articles of apparel. At least one relatively inelastic substrate, for example a nonwoven substrate, is adhesively bonded with a hot melt adhesive to a certain selected type of elongated polyurethane material in the form of a film or one or more fibers or filaments. The elongated polyurethane material is then allowed to relax which provides an elastic composite structure which is gathered or puckered. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20110098623 | DEVICE AND METHOD OF USING SUPERPARAMAGNETIC NANOPARTICLES IN TREATMENT AND REMOVAL OF CELLS - Methods and devices for selectively removing from a subject a target cell, pathogen, or virus expressing a binding partner on its surface are presented. In one embodiment, the device contains an excorporeal circuit, which includes, at least, a magnetic filter comprising a magnet and a removable, magnetizable substrate capable of capturing magnetic nanomaterials; and a pump in fluid communication with the magnetic filter, wherein the pump moves fluid through the excorporeal circuit. The magnet is capable of generating a magnetic field sufficient to capture magnetic nanomaterials in the magnetic field. In a preferred embodiment, the target cells are cancer cells and/or cells infected with pathogenic agents. The devices may be designed for extracorporeal or in vivo uses. Functionalized superparamagnetic nanoparticles are either mixed ex vivo with a biological fluid from the patient or injected into the patient. Then the biological fluid, which includes the nanoparticles is transported to the magnetic filter to remove any nanoparticles that are complexed to the target cells, pathogens, or virus, and any free nanoparticles. Optionally, the functionalized nanoparticles contain and deliver a therapeutic agent. In one embodiment, the therapeutic agent is released when the nanoparticle binds to the target cells, pathogens, or virus. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20090015850 | Rapid loading of interleaved RGB data into SSE registers - Rapid loading of chromatically interleaved RGB data into SSE registers as chromatically segregated RGB data for print processing is achieved through a loading algorithm that relies on a reduced number of memory references. An exemplary method comprises the steps of loading into SSE registers a first instance of data of a first and a second color from interleaved RGB data two bytes at a time, creating in SSE registers a second instance of the data of the first and second colors, removing from SSE registers one instance of the data of the second color, packing into one SSE register one instance of the data of the first color, removing from SSE registers one instance of the data of the first color and packing into one SSE register one instance of the data of the second color. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20110141352 | Adaptation of Frame Selection For Frame Rate Conversion - At least a method and a system are described for providing frame rate upconversion by way of using “short side” or bidirectional interpolation in generating interpolated frames. In a representative embodiment, the method may comprise receiving a first frame of video corresponding to a first frame time and a second frame of the video corresponding to a second frame time, computing a first absolute difference between the first frame time and an interpolated frame time wherein the interpolated frame time temporally is located between the first frame time and the second frame time. The method further comprises using a first motion vector field and the first frame to compute a third frame at the interpolated frame time. The method further comprises outputting the third frame as the interpolated frame at the interpolated frame time if the first absolute difference is less than or equal to a first threshold value. | 06-16-2011 |

| 20100076080 | Synthesis of Cyclohexane Derivatives Useful as Sensates in Consumer Products - The present invention provides synthetic routes for preparing various isomers of cyclohexane-based coolants, such as menthyl esters and menthanecarboxamide derivatives, in particular those substituted at the amide nitrogen, for example with an aromatic ring or aryl moiety. Such structures have high cooling potency and long lasting sensory effect, which make them useful in a wide variety of consumer products. One synthetic route involves a copper catalyzed coupling of a primary menthanecarboxamide with an aryl halide, such reaction working best in the presence of potassium phosphate and water. Using this synthetic route, specific isomers can be prepared including the menthanecarboxamide isomer having the same configuration as l-menthol and new isomers such as a neoisomer having opposite stereochemistry at the carboxamide (C-1) position. The neoisomer unexpectedly has potent and long lasting cooling effect. Preparation schemes for neoisomers of other menthyl derivatives which are useful as coolants, including esters, ethers, carboxy esters and other N-substituted carboxamides are also provided. | 03-25-2010 |
