| 20100094674 | Supply Chain Management Systems and Methods - Supply chain management (SCM) systems and methods are presented. In SCM ecosystems having multiple independent trading partners that can functions as peers, the trading partners likely lack a “single version of truth” with respect to retail data formats or transactions. The partners can utilize database connectors to interact with other peer partners by converting the partner's retail data from proprietary formats to a common transaction format understood by all connectors or by an SCM application stack constructed from SCM modules. The connectors can use a registry server to discover other connectors capable participating in a requested transaction relationship. SCM modules can be configured to support a transaction relationship according to the transaction relationships available to the peers' connectors. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20100109665 | FAST VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS USING BALANCED SSFP MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING - Referenceless techniques for flow imaging are described that exploit a refocusing property of balanced steady state free precession (“SSFP”) magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”), and achieve up to approximately a 50% reduction in total scan time. With the echo time set to one half of the sequence repetition time (TE=TR/2), non-flow-related image phase tends to vary smoothly across the field-of-view, and can be estimated from static tissue regions to produce a phase reference for nearby voxels containing flowing blood. These approaches produce accurate in vivo one-dimensional velocity estimates in half the scan time compared with conventional balanced SSFP phase-contrast methods. The feasibility of referenceless time-resolved 3D flow imaging (called “7D” flow) is demonstrated for a carotid bifurcation application from just three acquisitions. Related systems are also described. Other attributes such as blood acceleration can also be imaged with such techniques. | 05-06-2010 |

| 20090271039 | Method and apparatus for flue gas recirculation - An improved method and system for flue gas recirculation (FGR) from the ID Fan located downstream of a scrubber (or other Air Quality Control Equipment including cyclones, baghouses, etc., hereafter “AQC equipment”) back to the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment) inlet to maintain the minimum required flue gas throughput during low-load conditions, thereby eliminating the need for a separate booster fan. A flue gas recirculation duct is connected from downstream of the ID Fan to the inlet of the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment). A variable flow restrictor is placed in the duct downstream of the ID Fan for controlling pressure of the recirculated flue gas. The flow restrictor is controlled in accordance to a function of boiler load or flue gas flow to produce the required backpressure that enables the flue gas to flow through the recirculation duct back to the inlet of the scrubber (or other AQC Equipment) at low loads. This side stream of treated gas is recirculated from the discharge of the ID Fan to the inlet of the AQC Equipment to maintain the appropriate gas velocity regardless of boiler load conditions. The pressure differential between fan discharge and the AQC Equipment inlet enables recirculation of a sufficient amount of treated flue gas using only a small duct and simple flow control damper, without using a booster fan. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20110293579 | Bi-specific fusion proteins - Bi-specific fusion proteins with therapeutic uses are provided, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising such fusion proteins, and methods for using such fusion proteins to repair or regenerate damaged or diseased tissue. The bi-specific fusion proteins generally comprise: (a) a targeting polypeptide domain that binds to a target molecule; and (b) an activator domain that detectably modulates tissue regeneration. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20120244163 | BISPECIFIC BINDING AGENTS TARGETING IGF-1R AND ERBB3 SIGNALLING AND USES THEREOF - Disclosed are bispecific binding agents that specifically target both of the IGF-1 and the ErbB intracellular signaling pathways. For example, bispecific binding agents that comprise an anti-IGF-1R antibody and an anti-ErbB3 antibody connected by a linker are described herein. These bispecific agents are capable of antagonizing signal transduction by both of the IGF-1 and the ErbB signaling pathways and are useful in inhibiting the proliferation of tumor cells whose growth involves the signaling activity of both pathways. | 09-27-2012 |

| 20090246206 | BISPECIFIC BINDING AGENTS FOR MODULATING BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY - Methods for improving the specific binding ability of bispecific binding compositions are described. The bispecific binding compositions are able to target cells by a high affinity targeting domain to a target cell surface marker and a low affinity binding domain that binds specifically to a second cell surface marker, wherein the binding of each domain to its respective cell surface marker increases or decreases, as desired, the biological activity of the respective cell surface markers. The invention further provides bispecific binding agents for use in the methods, as well as uses for the agents. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20120177652 | BISPECIFIC BINDING AGENTS FOR MODULATING BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY - Methods for improving the biological and pharmaceutical properties of bispecific binding agents are described herein where the bispecific binding agents are able to target cells by a high affinity binding domain to a first cell surface marker that does not induce a significant biological effect and a low affinity binding domain that binds specifically to a second cell surface marker, causing a significant and desired biological effect. Compositions of such bispecific binding agents, uses for them, and kits containing them are also provided. | 07-12-2012 |

| 20120045518 | ENHANCING COAGULATION OR REDUCING FIBRINOLYSIS - Methods for controlling bleeding (e.g., enhancing coagulation and reducing fibrinolysis) in a subject are disclosed. The methods include selecting a subject in need of enhanced coagulation or reduced fibrinolysis, and administering to the subject a carbon monoxide releasing molecule (CORM). Examples of CORMs include tricarbonyldichloro-ruthenium (II) dimer, tricarbonylchloro-(glycinato)ruthenium (II), sodium boranocarbonate, dimanganese decacarbonyl, and iron pentacarbonyl. Further disclosed are compositions and methods for treating a subject in need of a blood product by administering to the subject a composition including a CORM and a blood product (e.g., cryoprecipitate or fresh frozen plasma). | 02-23-2012 |
