20110264922DIGITAL VIDEO GUARD - This invention relates to the veracity of information that is displayed to a user of a computer and can also relate to the veracity of information provided to a computer by human input devices such as pointing devices and keyboards. A digital video guard device is a peripheral that is retrofitted to commodity computer device. The digital video guard device provides trust in specific information presented on a digital display. The digital video guard device resides in-line with a digital display and enables secure end-to-end interactions between a user and a displayed (usually remote) application. In-band signalling within the digital video stream is used to carry encrypted information from a remote source, over untrusted network infrastructure through the digital video guard device to a user for viewing. The creation of encrypted digital video content can be achieved by either local or remote applications, and is effected by manipulating what is to be rendered on a computer's display, i.e. encrypting data that will at some time form part of a digital display stream and be output from an information device to a digital display. The digital video guard device can decrypt and verify the integrity of the digital video content as it is sent to a digital display. The integrity of the displayed information is indicated by a trusted LED on the digital video guard device hardware. Part or the entire video signal may be designated as trusted, depending on what data within the video signal has been encrypted, signed, or otherwise labelled as being trustworthy.10-27-2011

20100131285ACTN3 GENOTYPE SCREEN FOR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE - The present invention concerns novel methods of selecting or matching a sport or sporting event to an individual (e.g. a sprint/power sport or an endurance sport) and predicting athletic performance, the methods involving assessing ACTN3 genotype. In alternative embodiments, training regimens may be optimally designed for athletes by assessing the ACTN3 genotypes. Certain embodiments concern combining the assessment of the ACTN3 genotype with other known fitness-related genes to better assess the athletic potential of an individual. In addition, the genotypic analysis of the ACTN3 gene may be combined with physiological tests, physical measurements and/or psychological assessments to more optimally design a training regimen for an individual athlete.05-27-2010

20100294980Cellulosic Fibers Having Enhanced Reversible Thermal Properties and Methods of Forming Thereof - A viscose fiber comprises a fiber body including a regenerated cellulosic material and a plurality of microcapsules dispersed in the regenerated cellulosic material. The regenerated cellulosic material is derived from an organic plant material and the plurality of microcapsules containing a phase change material has a transition temperature in the range of 0° C. to 100° C., the phase change material providing thermal regulation based on at least one of absorption and release of latent heat at the transition temperature.11-25-2010

20110100359METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FRACTIONATION OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS - Methods and systems for fractionating lignocellulosic biomass including hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin, including exploding the biomass cells to devolatilize the biomass, hydrolyzing the hemicellulose to produce a liquid component including hemicellulosic sugars and a solid component including less than 10% hemicellulose, separating the liquid and solid components, vaporizing the cellulose in the solid component, and condensing the cellulosic sugar vapors. The methods and systems may vaporize the cellulose in a continuous steam reactor at a temperature of about 400-550° C. and a pressure of about 1-3 bara. Electromagnetic and/or electroaccoustic treatment such as ultrasound and/or microwave treatment may be applied to the biomass immediately before or during cellulose hydrolysis.05-05-2011

20100169020METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REAL TIME OIL BASED MUD CONTAMINATION MONITORING - The present invention is a method and apparatus for determining oil based mud contamination of a hydrocarbon fluid obtained from a wellbore during a formation testing. The invention includes receiving a model for simulating the contamination and receiving an empirical equation for computing the contamination. At a given pumping time, a simulated contamination is generated based on the model and an empirically computed contamination is generated based on the first empirical equation. The simulated contamination and empirically computed contamination are compared and a determination as to which is more reliable is made. Revision of the first model or first empirical equation based is then performed.07-01-2010
