| 20120087537 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR READING AND MANAGING BUSINESS CARD INFORMATION - A system and method for business card information reading and managing comprises a scanner which is optional and can provide dark background, a preprocessing module, a host computer with data storage, input/output (I/O), and display devices, an information extracting module, optical character recognition (OCR) engine, an image-processing (IP) engine, an information organizing module, all connected to the host computer to work together. On top of the system is the dataflow logic, i.e. the method, which guides all the business card information reading and management in a sequence of steps. The method is supported mainly through the software (SW) running on the host computer, with a GUI to interact with end users and provides functions like scanning/loading images and managing result. Among the steps, there are automatic card boundary and orientation detection step/method, manual card boundary and orientation refining step/method, automatic key information area detection step/method, manual key information area refining step/method by using a set of template key information items as over-layers on the GUI's image display. There is also key information extraction step which uses optical character recognition (OCR) and image processing to extract key information from cards and put the results in a table which can be further edited, merged with another table, and/or saved. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20110268177 | JOINT DEPTH ESTIMATION - Various implementations are described. Several implementations relate to joint depth estimation for multiple depth maps. In one implementation, a first-view depth indicator for a location in a first view is estimated, and a second-view depth indicator for a corresponding location in a second view is estimated. The estimating of one or more of the first-view depth indicator and the second-view depth indicator is based on a constraint. The constraint provides a relationship between the first-view depth indicator and the second-view depth indicator for corresponding locations. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20080268478 | Use of Eotaxin as a Diagnostic Indicator For Atherosclerosis and Vascular Inflammation - The invention disclosed herein relates to the detection or diagnosis of atherosclerosis by measuring the level of the protein eotaxin in an individual's serum. The presence of eotaxin above levels specified herein is indicative that atherosclerosis may be present. Detection of elevated eotaxin levels in serum may provide a means to diagnose atherosclerosis prior to the onset of symptoms. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100040585 | METHODS FOR ISOLATING AND USING HEMATOPOIETIC AND EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS OF THE PERITONEAL CAVITY - The invention relates to the isolation and use of hematopoietic and embryonic stem cells. Additionally, the inventors identified the peritoneal cavity as a new source of hematopoietic stem cells. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of isolating progenitor and/or stem cells from the peritoneal cavity. In another embodiment, the invention provides methods of transporting progenitor and/or stem cells from the peritoneal cavity to another organ. In another embodiment, the present invention provides methods of regenerating bioengineered tissues and/or reconstituting an hematopoietic system. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20100035946 | INDOLINE ANTI-CANCER AGENTS - Indoline compounds having anti-mitotic activity, useful for the treatment of cancer and other proliferative disorders are provided. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100279948 | EPIGENETIC MODIFICATIONS AT TNFalpha AS BIOMARKERS FOR SENSITIVITY TO SMAC MIMETIC-INDUCED APOPTOSIS - The invention provides a method for determining sensitivity of a cell population to apoptosis induced by Smac mimetics as a single agent or in combination with other chemodrugs, which method comprises assaying for an epigenetic modification at the TNFα locus in the cell population as compared to the TNFα locus in a cell population not sensitive to apoptosis induced by Smac mimetics as a single agent or in combination with other chemodrugs, wherein the presence of the epigenetic modification indicates that the cell population is sensitive to apoptosis induced by Smac mimetics as a single agent or in combination with other chemodrugs. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110195043 | Dimeric Smac Mimetics - The invention provides small molecule mimics of the Smac peptide that are dimers or dimer-like compounds having two binding domains connected by a linker These compounds are useful to promote apoptosis. The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods to use them to treat conditions including cancer and autoimmune disorders. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20100039710 | ZOOM LENS - A zoom lens includes, sequentially from an object side, a first lens group having a negative refractive power; and a second lens group having a positive refractive power, where focal length is varied by changing a distance between the first lens group and the second lens group, and a first conditional expression 0.8<|f | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100246028 | ZOOM LENS - A zoom lens includes, sequentially from an object side, a first lens group that is negative; and a second lens group that is positive, where focal length is varied by varying a distance between the first lens group and the second lens group. The first lens group includes, from the object side, a first lens that is a negative biconcave lens having at least one aspherical surface, and a second lens that is a positive meniscus lens having a convex surface facing toward the object side and at least one aspherical surface, and a first condition 0.8<|f | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110205637 | ZOOM LENS - A zoom lens includes sequentially from an object side a first lens group having a negative refractive power; a diaphragm; and a second lens group having a positive refractive power. Zoom from a wide angle edge to a telephoto edge is performed by displacement of the second lens group along an optical axis, toward the object side. Correction of imaging plane variation accompanying zoom, is performed by displacement of the first lens group along the optical axis. The second lens group includes a positive first lens disposed farthest on the object side and having at least one aspheric surface, and a cemented lens that includes a negative lens, a positive lens, and a negative lens. Furthermore, a first condition υd | 08-25-2011 |
