| 20120260776 | SOCKET AND HANDLE TOOL SET - A socket and handle tool set facilitates the access of the socket to an obstructed fastener. Each socket provides a fastener receptacle to grip the fastener upon which the socket operates. Each socket splits open vertically along a vertical hinge. Specific embodiments provide a selectively latchable and unlatchable socket latch. Gear teeth are disposed around the circumference of at least a portion of the external perimeter of each socket. The gear teeth engage complimentary gear teeth that are disposed within the handle of the handle component of the tool set. The handle provides a socket holder and a socket drive mechanism disposed in the socket holder to engage the gear teeth of the socket. Additionally, the handle component of the tool set provides a driver tool receptacle distal from the socket handle to receive a driver tool to operate the socket drive mechanism. | 10-18-2012 |

| 20100132244 | Rodent Trap - A rodent trap comprises a pail having an upright side wall extending upwardly from a bottom wall to an open top end of the pail. A rotating body is supported for rotation at the open top end of the pail. Typically a ramp provides rodent access to bait on the rotating body. In a preferred embodiment, a pair of integrally moulded mounting grooves on an inner surface of the side wall retain opposing ends of a shaft of the rotating body such that the shaft is slidably removable from the grooves through the open top end of the pail, and the outer surface of the rotating body includes at least one groove formed therein so as to be arranged to receive and retain bait therein. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100071340 | CABLE,COMBINED CABLE MAADE OF PLASTIC FIBERS AND STEEL WIRE STRANS, ANDCOMBINED ATRANDS MADE OF PLASTIC FIBERS AND STEEL WIRES - A combined cable comprising a core cable of high-strength synthetic fibers, which take the form of a twisted bundle of monofilaments or a plurality of twisted bundles of monofilaments, and comprising an outer layer of steel wire strands, is characterized in that the bundle or bundles of monofilaments is or are stretched, with a reduction in diameter, and held in this state by a sheathing, in particular a braided sheathing. The extension under strain of the core cable under load is thereby reduced, so that the load distribution between the cross section of steel and the cross section of synthetic material of the cable improves. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090317293 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ELIMINATING MICROBES WITHIN INDUSTRIAL PIPELINES - The present invention provides a method to inhibit microbes located within a pipeline comprising: applying a photosensitizer composition to a predetermined interior surface area of the pipeline where microbes are located; and applying light to the area at a wavelength that is absorbed by the photosensitizer composition so as to inhibit or eliminate the microbes; wherein the light is applied by a photodynamic disinfection device adapted to provide light to the area. The present invention also provided a photodynamic disinfection device comprising a pipeline inspection gauge (pig) adapted to include a circumferential high energy light source and an energy source wherein the light source is in communication with and powered by the energy source via communication means. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20080225952 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING IMPROVED RESIDUAL PREDICTION FOR SPATIAL SCALABILITY IN VIDEO CODING - A system and method for providing improved residual prediction for spatial scalability in video coding. In order to prevent visual artifacts in residual prediction in extended spatial scalability (ESS), each enhancement layer macroblock is checked to determine if the macroblock satisfies a number of conditions. If the conditions are met for an enhancement layer macroblock, then it is likely that visual artifacts will be introduced if applying residual prediction on the macroblock. Once such locations are identified, various mechanisms may be used to avoid or remove the visual artifacts. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080225955 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VIDEO ENCODING AND DECODING - A video coding method comprises dividing a coefficient vector into two or more sub-vectors, each sub-vector having a length less than or equal to a length of the coefficient vector, indicating a size of each sub-vector and a position of each sub-vector within the coefficient vector, and forming a block corresponding to each sub-vector | 09-18-2008 |

| 20120310539 | PREDICTING GENE VARIANT PATHOGENICITY - A computer-implemented, gene-specific prediction tool for classifying and interpreting gene tests is described. The prediction tool includes a predictor using a consensus framework. The predictor employs a weighted metric of existing and complementary prediction algorithms and calculated reference intervals of disease outcomes to calculate a consensus score used in interpreting gene tests. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20120310863 | GENE-SPECIFIC PREDICTION - A gene-specific prediction tool for classifying and interpreting gene tests is described. The prediction tool includes a classifier trained and tested using databases of gene variants and their known phenotypes. The classifier uses differences between features of amino acids in obtaining attributes used to perform classification and generate predictions, including for benign and pathologic outcomes, for uncertain gene variants. | 12-06-2012 |

| 20120089615 | NEIGHBORHOOD GUIDE FOR SEMANTIC SEARCH SYSTEM AND METHOD TO SUPPORT LOCAL POI DISCOVERY - A neighborhood guide system, related method and associated database for providing information about businesses and other locations to a vehicle driver, or other user, in a more natural and informative manner than traditional IVR systems. When interacting with the user, the neighborhood guide system typically will only provide choices for the user to select from based on a user request that are in the particular vicinity of the user. Further, the neighborhood guide system provides usable information about the selected business by the user, such as hours of operation, cost, ratings, parking, etc. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120158726 | Method and Apparatus For Classifying Digital Content Based on Ideological Bias of Authors - A method and apparatus for classifying a collection of digital documents based on ideological bias of authors. At least a portion of text of a digital document is received and parsed. Pairs of specific features text having specified relationships are detected. The pairs are then mapped to an ideological bias, based on an ideological bias ontology for example. Various actions can be taken on the digital documents based on the determined ideological bias. | 06-21-2012 |

| 20110300295 | JETTING DISPENSER AND METHOD OF JETTING HIGHLY COHESIVE ADHESIVES - Jetting dispensers and methods of non-contact dispensing a hot melt adhesive onto a substrate. The method may include jetting a plurality of droplets of the hot melt adhesive from a nozzle outlet toward the substrate in a direction of travel. Each droplet has a droplet length approximately aligned with the direction of travel and a droplet width shorter than the droplet length. The jetting is controlled such that each of the droplets does not collapse into a spherical-shaped droplet during flight from the nozzle outlet to the substrate. The nozzle outlet may be heated to a first temperature, and the method may further include rapidly heating each droplet of the hot melt adhesive to a second temperature higher than the first temperature upon release from the nozzle outlet. | 12-08-2011 |
