20120266944 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES - A photovoltaic system includes a plurality of rectangular-shaped photovoltaic modules and a plurality of separate and spaced-apart support members supporting and orienting the photovoltaic modules in an array on the support surface without penetrating the support surface. The support members are formed of plastic and each of the photovoltaic modules is supported by at least four of the support members. Each of the support members is secured to and supports at least one of the photovoltaic modules but is not directly secured to any of the other support members. Thus the support modules can be utilized to support a wide variety of different sizes of photovoltaic modules. A wind shield is located at the rearward most support members. The wind shield is spaced a distance from the rearward photovoltaic modules and shaped to deflect wind up and over the array of photovoltaic modules. | 10-25-2012 |

20100279316 | Antibodies to Phosphorylated IRAK4 - The present invention relates to antibodies that bind phosphorylated forms of IRAK4, methods of using such antibodies to detect IRAK4 biological activity, and methods for the detection, diagnosis, and prognostication of pathological conditions related to IRAK4 biological activity. ERAK4 is one member of a small family of highly conserved cytoplasmic signal transduction proteins characterized by the presence of an N-terminal “death domain” and a C-terminal serine-threonine kinase domain. IRAK4 functions in cytoplasmic signal transduction pathways by interacting with membrane spanning proteins which play, inter alia, critical roles in vertebrate immune system function. | 11-04-2010 |

20150141316 | VARIANT ALPHA AMYLASES WITH ENHANCED ACTIVITY ON STARCH POLYMERS - Described are variants of alpha-amylase enzymes for use in industrial processes, such as liquefaction of starch. The alpha-amylase variants have increased specific activity allowing the more rapidly reduction of peak viscosity during liquefaction processes. The alpha-amylase is modified by introducing into the amino sequence of a parent Family 13 alpha-amylase polypeptide a mutation at an amino acid residue in the starch-binding groove; wherein the starch-binding groove is formed by amino acid residues in the alpha-helix preceding the first beta-strand in the A domain, the loop between the sixth alpha-helix and the seventh beta-strand in the A domain, the loop between the seventh alpha-helix and the eighth beta-strand in the A domain, and the loop connecting the A domain and the C domain; and wherein the mutation alters the binding of starch to the variant alpha amylase polypeptide compared to the parental alpha amylase polypeptide. | 05-21-2015 |

20080287777 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO REGISTER A TRACKING SYSTEM WITH AN INTRACARDIAC ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY (ICE) IMAGING SYSTEM - A system to navigate an object traveling in an imaged subject is provided. The system includes a four-dimensional (4D) imaging system to create a first three-dimensional model of the acquired imaged data correlated relative to a time reference and defined relative to a first image coordinate system. A second imaging system creates a second three-dimensional model of the imaged subject defined relative to a second image coordinate system. A tracking system tracks movement and orientation of the object relative to a tracking coordinate system. A controller includes program instructions in combination with the processor operable to register the first and second image coordinate systems and the tracking coordinate system relative to a world coordinate system, and to combine the three-dimensional model created by the 4D imaging system with the three-dimensional model created by the second imaging system with a tracked location of the object relative to the world coordinate system. | 11-20-2008 |
