20110014226 | HIGH THROUGHPUT PROTEIN INTERACTION ASSAY - A method to identify small molecules useful as therapeutics and/or vaccines to prevent, alleviate or ameliorate a pathogenic infection or an autoimmune disorder. The method can be used to screen small molecule test compounds for the ability to disrupt particular antigen-antibody interactions of interest. In one embodiment, the antigen is a pathogen-derived antigen and the antibody decreases or inhibits virulence of the pathogen when bound to the antigen (e.g., a neutralizing antibody, antibody with serum bactericidal activity, etc.). In another embodiment, the antigen is a self-antigen (autoantigen) and the antibody is an autoantibody that is known to be associated with a pathological condition (e.g., autoimmune disorder). Compounds that bind to the antigen or antibody disrupt binding can be used as therapeutics to decrease or inhibit the autoimmune disorder. | 01-20-2011 |

20100198905 | System and method for collecting, Transferring and managing quality control data - The information system and method for collecting, transferring and administrating quality control data, and particularly HACCP data disclosed allows bi-directional communication between a plurality of remote wireless measurement devices and a central web server through a local com/data link. The com/data link provides wireless communication with the various measurement devices and communication with the web server via an Internet connection. An Internet based database and website interface provides centralized data storage and easily accessible data management and analysis. Administrator/users can access and manage the data from any location or device with Internet connectivity. The measurement devices allow their operation and functions to be configured and reconfigured by uploading customized device “data packets” into the devices system memory. The Internet-based user interface allows administrator/users to remotely customize and modify these “data packets” for each individual measurement device to suit each specific application. The bi-directional communication between the various wireless measurement devices and the web server allows administrator/users to reconfigure each individual measurement device remotely through an Internet-based user interface. | 08-05-2010 |

20090193389 | REALTIME CREATION OF DATASETS IN MODEL BASED TESTING - Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that tests a software program. During operation, the system creates a behavioral model of the software program using branches, decisions, and options. Next, the system applies a weight assignment technique to the behavioral model to create a set of global identifiers (IDs), which correspond to test cases of the behavioral model. The system then generates a test case from the behavioral model and executes the test case on the software program. Finally, the system analyzes an output of the executed test case to determine a validity of the software program. | 07-30-2009 |

20090073991 | Dynamic Pairing of Patients to Data Collection Gateways - Systems, devices and methods transmit data from a patient device to a location, for example a remote location, where the patient is monitored. The system may comprise a server system, for example a backend server system, a gateway and the patient worn device. The gateway can be configured to communicate with the patient worn device in response to a list transmitted from the server, for example an approved patient device list transmitted from the server to the gateway. The gateway may exclude communication with patient worn devices that are not on the list. This use of the list can control data throughput from the patient device to the gateway and also from the gateway to the server, such that the communication from the device on the list to the server is maintained and appropriate information can be reliably sent from the patient device to the server. | 03-19-2009 |

20110291341 | PIN CLAMP - A clamp having a lock is provided. In another aspect, a fail safe lock maintains the position of a clamping member when fluid pressure or other actuating power is undesirably reduced. Another aspect employs teeth on a locking structure which engage matching teeth on a shaft where engagement of the teeth prevent unclamping of a workpiece. In still another aspect, a manual override member disengages a lock in order to unclamp a workpiece. | 12-01-2011 |

20150233632 | BEVERAGE CHILLER AND METHOD - A beverage chilling apparatus includes a body defining one or more upwardly-open cavities shaped to receive a container filled with beverage, and a downwardly-open annular cavity extending around the upwardly-open cavity(ies). The cavity has a large open bottom opening suitable for receiving scooped crushed or cubed ice into the annular cavity. A bottom cap threads onto and sealingly covers the bottom opening to retain the ice in the annular cavity, and further in designed to hold some water from melted ice in the container. A method of chilling comprises filling the body to scoop crushed or cubed ice into the annular cavity, and covering the bottom opening to retain the ice in the downwardly-open cavity, and inverting the body to thus chill containers placed in the at least one upwardly-open cavity. | 08-20-2015 |
