| 20100218592 | Surface Abrader and Apparatus for Testing Surface Abrasion - A surface abrader has a first motor, a plurality of pulleys, with at least some of the pulleys being coupled to the motor, and a plurality of shafts, with the pulleys being coupled to the shafts. At least one belt is coupled between two of the pulleys to drive one shaft via rotation of the other shaft by the first motor. A first arm is coupled to one of the shafts and a second arm is coupled to another of the shafts or the same shaft. The arms moving in a reciprocating motion to produce an abrasion pattern. An abrasion tool is coupled between the first and second arms by at least two movable joints for contacting a surface to be abraded or tested for surface abrasion. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20110080874 | Method of and Apparatus for Adaptive Control of Data Buffering in a Data Transmitter - A data transmitter divides incoming data for transmission into data blocks and passes them in frame transmission order to a radio link stage via a serial frame buffer. The buffer holds the data frames until the radio link stage is able to transmit them. The incoming data has associated with it various parameters. The radio link stage has allocated to it radio link resources. The parameters and resources, which change independently of each other from time to time, are supplied to a controller which calculates high and low buffer levels therefrom. The controller controls the passing of the data frames through the frame buffer to maintain the number of frames in the buffer at any instant of time at a level between the calculated high and low levels. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20100130424 | CRHR2 PEPTIDE AGONISTS AND USES THEREOF - The present invention relates to novel peptides that are selective corticotrophin releasing hormone receptor type 2 (CRHR2) agonists and compositions thereof for the treatment, amelioration or inhibition of cardiovascular conditions, including but not limited to heart failure. The novel peptide agonist preferably comprise modifications that include pegylated peptides. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to methods for the treatment and prevention of a disease or disorder related to CRHR2 activity. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110105397 | METHOD FOR TREATING HEART FAILURE WITH STRESSCOPIN-LIKE PEPTIDES - The present invention relates to novel methods of treating heart failure comprising administering an amount of stresscopin-like peptide to a subject in need thereof; and substantially maintaining the amount of said peptide present in the plasma of said subject at a concentration resulting in a therapeutic benefit without a substantial increase in the heart rate of said subject. The method involves the use of stresscopin-like peptides that are selective corticotrophin releasing hormone receptor type 2 (CRHR2) agonists. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20110193839 | LEVEL SHIFTER FOR USE IN LCD DISPLAY APPLICATIONS - A level shifter for use in LCD display applications is provided which includes a group of separate channels each with a signal input and a signal output and with channel control circuitry supporting gate voltage shaping for improving image quality. The level shifter further has a number of flicker clock inputs. The channel control circuitry of each particular channel in the group comprises logic circuitry combining all of said flicker clock inputs with the signal input of the particular channel and signal inputs form other channels into a gate voltage shaping enable signal for the control circuitry of the particular channel. With this configuration it is possible to use the same level shifter IC with only one flicker clock signal for all phases, regardless of how many, without the need for an additional synchronization signal, or multiple flicker clock signals as is conventional. The level shifter automatically determines which input signal needs to be modified for the gate voltage shaping when the active portion of the flicker clock signal is detected. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20110238365 | Diffraction Based Overlay Linearity Testing - An empirical diffraction based overlay (eDBO) measurement of an overlay error is produced using diffraction signals from a plurality of diffraction based alignment pads from an alignment target. The linearity of the overlay error is tested using the same diffraction signals or a different set of diffraction signals from diffraction based alignment pads. Wavelengths that do not have a linear response to overlay error may be excluded from the measurement error. | 09-29-2011 |
