20120023083 | University Job Search Engine - A plurality of job candidates have corresponding candidate profiles. Each candidate may be associated with a corresponding candidate entity. For example, the job candidates may be students or recent graduates of universities, in which case the candidate profile of each candidate is associated with that candidate's university. Each university may block one or more criteria in its candidates' profiles from being searched. A computer-implemented system matches the candidate profiles with job profiles provided by employers. The matching process takes into account the criteria blocked by the candidate entities (e.g., universities). As a result, when the matching process matches a particular job profile against a particular candidate profile, the matching process does not match criteria in the particular job profile which are blocked by the profile of the candidate entity associated with the particular candidate profile. | 01-26-2012 |

20140024063 | METHODS AND COMPOUNDS FOR INCREASING SENSITIVITY OF BOTULINUM ASSAYS - Apparatus, systems and methods can provide improved detection of botulinum neurotoxins. In one aspect an isoquinolynyl compound can be used to enhance the sensitivity of both Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and non-FRET cell-based assays. In another aspect, non-FRET assays and constructs utilize a reporter that is not coupled with the second fluorophore in a manner that produces significant FRET. In that subject matter an environment cell can include an enzyme that facilitates degradation of the reporter significantly faster after the cleavage than before the cleavage, and presence of the Botulinum toxin correlates with reduction of the signal from a baseline signal. Where the environment is a cell, the cell can advantageously express both the construct that includes the reporter, and an enzyme that facilitates the degradation. | 01-23-2014 |

20140305548 | CARBO-NITRIDING PROCESS FOR MARTENSITIC STAINLESS STEEL AND STAINLESS STEEL ARTICLE HAVING IMPROVED CORROSION RESISTANCE - A method for producing a case-hardened martensitic stainless steel article includes: providing an article comprised, at least in part, of a martensitic stainless steel, carburizing the article within a temperature range of 1625° F.-1680° F. (885° C.-916° C.), and then carbo-nitriding the article within a temperature range of 1575° F.-1625° F. (857° C.-885° C.). An article, such as a bearing ring, comprising such a case-hardened martensitic stainless steel is also disclosed. | 10-16-2014 |

20120211529 | LIQUID DISPENSER - A device used to easily fill small containers, i.e. shot glasses, with hot or cold liquids, with precision and speed, without spillage. The device consists of a funnel, attached to a filler hose, with a specialized filler nozzle at the end. Liquid of choice is poured into the funnel. The liquid then flows through the hose, but will not come out until the user activates the nozzle. The nozzle is activated by gently pressing its tip on the floor of the container. The liquid dispenser device may be used to fill shot glasses with hot, liquid gelatin mixtures or can be used to fill other cups, such as communion cups. | 08-23-2012 |

20110066910 | STEALTH MESSAGE TRANSMISSION IN A NETWORK - Embodiments of the invention include methods of transmitting a hidden message within a secured primary data transmission. In one embodiment, a method involves transmitting a primary data transmission over a computer network from a source host to a receiving host. Intentionally-corrupted packets are introduced within the primary data transmission in a manner providing a hidden message. For example, a pattern of intentionally-corrupted packets may be used to encode the hidden message. Alternatively, the hidden message may be embedded within the data area of the intentionally-corrupted packets. The intentionally-corrupted packets are received and interpreted at the receiving host to determine the hidden message. | 03-17-2011 |
