Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100045672Computerized Image Rendering With Per-Frame Buffer Scene Segmentation - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for image rendering with per-frame buffer scene segmentation. A user specifies how geometric objects, light sources, and various types of rendering operations in a graphics scene are associated. A segmentation API translates scene data into specific instructions used by a rendering engine that cause the rendering engine to generate a set of scene segments within a set of user specified frame buffers. The scene segments may be composited together using a variable contribution value for each scene segment to generate a final image.02-25-2010

20100113286METHODS FOR DETECTION OF PREECLAMPSIA - Biomarkers associated with preeclampsia were identified. Nine proteins were identified as being differentially regulated between the control and the under 28-weeks preeclamptic samples. Similarly three proteins were identified as being differentially regulated between the control and the over 28-weeks preeclamptic samples. These 12 proteins can be used as potential biomarkers in the diagnosing and prognosing of preeclampsia.05-06-2010

20100295367ENDLESS TRACK FOR A WORK VEHICLE - An endless track for traction of a work vehicle. The endless track comprises a body of elastomeric material and a plurality of cores at least partially embedded in the elastomeric material. Each core comprises a pair of wings extending transversally to a longitudinal axis of the endless track, and a wheel guide comprising at least one guide projection projecting on an inner side of the endless track. Each guide projection comprises a top end and a wheel-facing side for facing wheels of the work vehicle, such as roller wheels that roll on the inner side of the endless track. The wheel-facing side comprises a recess to impede passage of grit between the wheel-facing side and a portion of the elastomeric material in the recess. This can enhance a wear resistance of the endless track.11-25-2010
