| 20090323743 | High-Power, High-Throughput Microwave Discharge Singlet Oxygen Generator for Advanced Electrical Oxygen-Iodine Lasers - A laser device includes an optical resonator, a microwave driven discharge device, and a source for a second gas. The microwave driven discharge device is disposed relative to the optical resonator. The microwave driven discharge device operates at a discharge power and gas flow rate to produce a selected amount of energetic singlet oxygen metastables flowing in the direction of the optical resonator. The second source for the second gas is disposed between the optical resonator and the microwave driven discharge device. The second gas reacts with the selected amount of energetic singlet oxygen metastables to form an excited species in an amount sufficient to support lasing of the excited species in the optical resonator. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20080241196 | Artificial invaplex - An artificial invasin complex is prepared from purified or recombinantly prepared invasins and gram negative bacteria lipopolysaccharides. Typically, IpaB is mixed with IpaC to form a IpaB:IpaC complex. This invasin protein complex is then mixed with the lipopolysaccharide to form an artificial invasin complex. Additional bioactive molecules can be incorporated into the complex during manufacture. This artificial invasin complex is similar in function to native Invaplex 24 or Invaplex 50. The artificial invasin complex has superior immunogenicity properties relative to the native complex and can be taylor made. Its method of preparation lends itself to scale up. The artificial invasin complex can facilitate transport of biomolecules, therapeutics and antibiotics across cell membranes in a manner similar to native Shigella Invaplex. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20100119543 | USE OF SHIGELLA INVAPLEX TO TRANSPORT FUNCTIONAL PROTEINS AND TRANSCRIPTIONALLY ACTIVE NUCLEIC ACIDS ACROSS MAMMALIAN CELL MEMBRANES IN VITRO AND IN VIVO - The in vivo and in vitro use of Invaplex to transport materials, including functional proteins and biologically active nucleic acids, across eukaryotic cell membranes. The eukaryotic cells include a variety of cell types, e.g. insect, reptile, fish, mammal and tumor cells. The suitable materials for transport include biochemicals such as reporter molecules, antibiotics, biopharmaceuticals and carbohydrates including polysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, polynucleotides, such as DNA and RNA, and glycoproteins and proteins including antigens, enzymes, antibodies, receptors and hormones. In addition, Invaplex enhances the immune response to DNA vaccines and also can function by itself as a vaccine against shigellosis. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20110151417 | COMPUTER-BASED ABACUS TRAINING SYSTEM - A computer-based abacus training system is provided. The system can include a simulated abacus display, means for outputting problems to be solved by a user, means for accepting input from the user, and means for checking the user's solution. Display can be of a simulated abacus, simulated hand movements, or both. Conversion between text-form and abacus-form representations can be included. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20080314033 | Treatment of diesel engine exhaust - A diesel exhaust treatment system for treating exhaust gas from a diesel engine comprises at least one diesel particulate filter, at least one diesel exhaust fluid mixing chamber and at least one selective catalytic reduction converter (SCR). In one desirable embodiment, plural diesel particulate filters are arranged in parallel and plural SCRs are arranged in parallel. These components including the diesel exhaust fluid mixing chamber can be included in a common housing with the exhaust flow reversing directions a plurality of times as it passes through the treatment system from an exhaust inlet to an exhaust outlet. The housing can be coupled to one vehicle frame rail with most of the housing and components contained therein positioned outside the outer surface of the one frame rail. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20110103853 | Flat Heater for Electrophotographic Belt Fusing Systems, and Methods of Making Same - An image-forming device includes a belt based fuser for fixing an image to a media substrate. The fuser includes a heater having a base component with at least one heating element disposed thereon. The heater further includes a covering layer covering the at least one heating element providing a substantially even surface to abut a belt. Unevenness, which may be present on the substantially even surface, has a height, defined by a base and a peak, of less than about 10 μm. A process for producing the heater is also disclosed. The process includes disposing one or more heating elements on a base component of the heater, covering the heating elements of the fuser heater with a covering layer and providing a substantially even outer surface to abut a fuser belt. | 05-05-2011 |

| 20100094671 | PIN-less Debit Payment Processing - This document describes tools for providing PIN-less debit (PLD) processing for a client, such as a merchant. In some embodiments, the tools intercept a request from a client to process a payment transaction for a consumer. If PLD processing is available for the transaction, the tools provide an indication to the client that PLD processing is an available option for processing the payment transaction. If the tools receive an indication that the consumer has opted to process the payment as a PLD transaction, the tools negotiate with a payment processor for fulfillment of the payment transaction. The tools are configured to handle one or more of the certification and compliance procedures required to process PLD transactions with a payment processor, thus allowing the client to process PLD transactions without having a direct payment processing relationship with a payment processor that offers PLD transaction processing. | 04-15-2010 |

| 20090322825 | Printhead carrier with height-adjustable bearing mechanism for continuous adjustment of the printhead carrier position - A printhead carrier includes a body having spaced apart bearings by means of which the body is supported at a predetermined position in the printer adapted to position a printhead on the printhead carrier at a placement relative to a path of a sheet of print media through a print zone in the printer, and a height-adjustable mechanism associated with one of the bearings that is continuously adjustable to effect a continuous increase or decrease of the height of the one bearing relative to the body to thereby set the printhead at a proper angle relative to the sheet of print media. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100245414 | Adjustment Assembly for Adjustably Mounting Guide Members on Printhead Carrier Support Frame to Establish Desired Print Gap - An adjustment assembly adjustably mounts opposite ends of elongated guide members on opposite side panels of a printhead carrier support frame of a printer to establish a desired mounting relationship between the guide members and opposite side panels and thereby establish a desired print gap between a sheet of print media passing through a print zone and a printhead supported on a carrier reciprocally moving on the guide members. In addition to the opposite side panels, the adjustment assembly includes a pair of adjustment plates each for placement in a facing relationship with an outside surface of one of the opposite side panels and a plurality of mounting elements associated with the adjustment plates and opposite side panels that enable aligning and mounting them at the opposite ends of the guide members in the desired mounting relationship that establishes the desired print gap. | 09-30-2010 |
