Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090298762CONJUGATES OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE PROTEINS HAVING A MODIFIED IN VIVO HALF-LIFE - Disclosed are biologically active protein conjugates that comprise a biologically active polypeptide coupled via a peptide bond to a polypeptide comprising from 2 to about 500 units of a repeating peptide motif, wherein the biologically active protein conjugate exhibits a modified plasma half-life compared to the intrinsic half-life of the unconjugated biologically active polypeptide or protein. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the conjugated proteins, as well as methods for determining whether a given conjugate exhibits a modified half life relative to the intrinsic half life of the unconjugated polypeptide.12-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110214619LIGHTING SYSTEM WITH ANIMAL TRAINING DEVICE - A flashlight system includes an animal training device and optionally one or more beacon lights to provide visibility in multiple directions. The light for the flashlight and the beacon lights are in electronic communication with a power source, such as a battery, for the flashlight. The light and the beacon lights may take the form of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The flashlight system includes an ergonomically contoured, waterproof body with a recessed region to receive at least a portion of the animal training device, which may take the form of a dog clicker that generates an audible sound. The light for the flashlight may have a different on/off switch than that of the beacon light.09-08-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090006566Providing Access to Presence Information Using Multiple Presence Objects - An approach is described for maintaining multiple presence objects associated with a single entity. The different presence objects correspond to different respective aspects of the entity's presence. Each presence object includes subscriber information and permission information associated therewith. The subscriber information identifies the subscribers that subscribe to receive notifications for a particular presence object. The permission information identifies the users who are entitled to receive notifications for the particular presence object. By virtue of the use of multiple objects, the entity can control access to its presence information with a high degree of granularity.01-01-2009
20090063643Processing Data Obtained From a Presence-Based System - Functionality is described for collecting data from a presence-based system, such as an instant messaging system. The functionality can extract information from the collected data based on one or more rules. For instance, the functionality can identify presence data and/or message data that includes predetermined key words. The functionality can formulate result information based on the extracted information for presentation to a recipient. Based on these operations, the collected data supports a data-mining operation, as well as the traditional role of facilitating communication among the participants of the presence-based system. The result information can correspond to a report that presents aggregated findings, optionally organized into one or more demographic categories, or the result information can correspond to an advertisement, etc.03-05-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120124071EXTENSIBLE SEARCH TERM SUGGESTION ENGINE - A search term suggestion engine of a computing device receives characters of user data as the characters are input. The user data is at least part of a search term to be provided to one of multiple applications to search for the search term. An indication of multiple suggestion sources is received from the one application, and one or more suggested search terms are obtained, from the multiple suggestion sources, based on the received characters. One or more suggested search terms can also be obtained from the multiple suggestion sources based on one or more linguistic alternatives for the received characters. The one or more suggested search terms are combined into a combined set of suggested search terms, and the combined set of suggested search terms is returned to a search user interface for presentation to the user.05-17-2012
20120124072SYSTEM LEVEL SEARCH USER INTERFACE - A system level search user interface that includes both a data entry portion and an application identification portion is displayed. User data input as a search term is displayed in the data entry portion, and identifiers of each of one or more applications of multiple applications on the computing device that can be searched using the search term are displayed in the application identification portion. The search term is provided to one application of the multiple applications for that one application to generate and display search results based on the search term while the display of at least the data entry portion of the system level search user interface is maintained.05-17-2012

20120018525AEROSOL GENERATING AND DELIVERY DEVICE - Particular aspects provide novel atomizers for generating particles over a broad range of MMAD size distributions, the eliminating the requirement for an impaction baffle in generating the desired particle sizes. In particular aspects, the atomization means communicates with a remote particle filter member configured and positioned to provide for particle size filtering. In additional aspects, the atomization means communicates with a particle dispersion chamber suitable to impart a desired particle flow pattern to particles within and exiting the dispersion chamber. In further aspects, the atomization means communicates with a nasal, ocular, oral or ‘vicinity’ adapter. The novel devices provide for targeted (e.g., nasal, ocular, oral, local vicinity), systemic, and/or topical delivery of an atomized liquid (e.g., via the nasal cavity, olfactory region, and mouth). Further exemplary aspects relate to aerosolization and delivery of perfume, fragrance, essential oil or cosmeceutical agents and the like.01-26-2012

20100241675BREAKING A CIRCULAR REFERENCE BETWEEN PARENT AND CHILD OBJECTS - Architecture that automatically breaks the circular reference between objects without any different logic by introducing a helper object called a child object container. The child object is contained within the container object and both share a reference counter. The parent object holds a strong reference to the container object. When adding a reference to the child object both the shared reference counter and the parent reference counter increase. When releasing a reference to the child object both the shared reference counter and the parent reference counter decrease. This approach provides a systematic way of solving the circular reference problem that does not rely on any weak-reference feature provided by the programming language.09-23-2010

20090190726END-TO-END DEPLOYMENT VALIDATION OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - End-to-end testing of a communications network, specifically a unified communications network, is accomplished by employing one or more sets of agents controlled by one or more organizers. Agents, capable of initiating, emulating, and recording various aspects of communication, are deployed such that call can be made through a wide range of network paths. Test scenarios defined dynamically based on network conditions or based on administrator input are executed by an organizer, which directs the agents reporting to it. Collected results are analyzed for subsequent reporting and/or corrective actions. Alert criteria may also be defined causing an alert to be issued if a significant fault is discovered.07-30-2009
