20150099547 | GEO-BASED DETECTION OF BORDER VIOLATION - An initial geo-location may be determined for a user of a web service from the user's connection data to establish if it is a mobile connection or not. Once the connection is identified as mobile or static and the user's location is known, the closest border and/or territory which is blocked to the user and within the geo-restricted area is determined. A future time at which the user's geo-location should be re-determined is then calculated using a variety of formula based on the connection type, location and distance to the border. The resulting calculation of desired future time of re-geolocation may be based on the user's current location, the distance to the nearest border, an estimated velocity at which the user may be moving, rules associated with the web-service, parameters set by an administrator and other factors | 04-09-2015 |

20120174263 | PRODUCTION OF VIRAL CAPSIDS - The invention provides methods of producing “empty” RNA virus capsids (e.g. from Cowpea mosaic virus) by assembly of viral small (S) and large (L) coat proteins in such a way that encapsidation of native viral RNA is avoided. Aspects of the invention employ in planta expression of capsid components from DNA vectors encoding the S and L proteins or S-L polyproteins including them. Such capsids have utility for the encapsidation or presentation of foreign proteins or desired payloads. | 07-05-2012 |

20120015899 | MODIFIED PLANT VIRUS PARTICLES AND USES THEREFOR - Aspects of the invention provide modified virus-like particles that are designed for therapeutic applications. In particular, aspects of the invention provide CCMV coat proteins that are modified to generate virus-like particles, including mosaic virus-like particles, that can package and/or deliver one or more diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents. The invention also provides methods for treating subjects with one or more modified virus-like particles. | 01-19-2012 |

20100287670 | PROTEIN EXPRESSION SYSTEM - The inventions is based on an expression enhancer sequence derived from the RNA-2 genome segment of a bipartite RNA virus, in which a target initiation site in the RNA-2 genome segment has been mutated. Deletion of appropriate start codons upstream of the main RNA2 translation initiation can greatly increase in foreign protein accumulation without the need for viral replication. Also provided are methods, vectors and systems, including the ‘hyper-translatable’ Cowpea Mosaic Virus (‘CPMV-HT’) based protein expression system. | 11-11-2010 |

20130036683 | Panel Mounting System - A panel mounting system for mounting a panel (particularly a solar panel) to a structure. A load element connects a panel retainer to the roof structure and plastically deforms to a deformed configuration upon application of a predetermined threshold load to the load element. The load element typically has a cranked initial condition and elongates during plastic deformation. The mounting system prevents roof damage due to wind loading on the panels. | 02-14-2013 |

20150051998 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESENTING BAND CONFIGURATIONS - The disclosed embodiments relate to and the presentation thereof in a computer interface. Particularly, some embodiments facilitate the selection of combinations by a user. The combination may be, e.g., an engagement and a wedding ring. In some embodiments, an event-triggering architecture in the interface facilitates the selective updating of interface elements in a manner paralleling the desired process path traversed by the user. | 02-19-2015 |

20090052705 | Method and apparatus for setting a hearing device - A method and apparatus for setting a characteristic of a source hearing device on target hearing device are provided. A transformation database is created. A source hearing device including the setting of the source hearing device are identified, the characteristic of setting is to be set on the target hearing device. The setting which, according to the transformation database on the target hearing device, results in the characteristic corresponding to the characteristic of the identified source hearing device is recalled. The target hearing device is set using the recalled setting. Settings are stored in the transformation database during their creation, which have to be set to hearing devices of different types to be set in order to grant these hearing devices the characteristic of other identified hearing with identified settings. | 02-26-2009 |

20100051879 | Functionalized Boron Nitride Nanotubes - A plasma treatment has been used to modify the surface of BNNTs. In one example, the surface of the BNNT has been modified using ammonia plasma to include amine functional groups. Amine functionalization allows BNNTs to be soluble in chloroform, which had not been possible previously. Further functionalization of amine-functionalized BNNTs with thiol-terminated organic molecules has also been demonstrated. Gold nanoparticles have been self-assembled at the surface of both amine- and thiol-functionalized boron nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) in solution. This approach constitutes a basis for the preparation of highly functionalized BNNTs and for their utilization as nanoscale templates for assembly and integration with other nanoscale materials. | 03-04-2010 |

20120088934 | OLIGOMER FUNCTIONALIZED NANOTUBES AND COMPOSITES FORMED THEREWITH - Disclosed herein is a sequential functionalization methodology for the covalent modification of nanotubes with between one and four repeat units of a polymer. Covalent attachment of oligomer units to the surface of nanotubes results in oligomer units forming an organic sheath around the nanotubes, polymer-functionalized-nanotubes (P-NTs). P-NTs possess chemical functionality identical to that of the functionalizing polymer, and thus provide nanoscale scaffolds which may be readily dispersed within a monomer solution and participate in the polymerization reaction to form a polymer-nanotube/polymer composite. Formation of polymer in the presence of P-NTs leads to a uniform dispersion of nanotubes within the polymer matrix, in contrast to aggregated masses of nanotubes in the case of pristine-NTs. The covalent attachment of oligomeric units to the surface of nanotubes represents the formation of a functional nanoscale building block which can be readily dispersed and integrated within the polymer to form a novel composite material. | 04-12-2012 |
