| 20110195975 | MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR SUPPRESSING AND/OR TREATING NEUROFIBROMA AND RELATED TUMORS - Germline mutations in the NF1 tumor suppressor gene cause Von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a common genetic disorder of the nervous system characterized by plexiform neurofibroma development. Using adoptive transfer of hematopoietic cells, we establish that NF1 heterozygosity of bone marrow derived cells in the tumor microenvironment is sufficient to allow neurofibroma progression in the context of Schwann cell nullizygosity. Further, genetic or pharmacologic attenuation of the c-kit signaling pathway in hematopoietic cells greatly diminishes neurofibroma initiation and progression. These studies identify haploinsufficient hematopoietic cells and the c-kit receptor as therapeutic targets for preventing plexiform neurofibromas and implicate mast cells as critical mediators of tumor initiation. Administering therapeutically effective doses of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor such as the compound imatinib mesylate to a patient in need thereof to treat tumors in a human patient afflicted with plexiform neurofibroma. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20110134214 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR 3D VIDEO CODING USING SVC TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL SCALABILITIES - A 3-dimensional (3D) video transmitter may be operable to encode a 3D video to generate a scalable video coding (SVC) base layer and a SVC enhancement layer. A first view such as a first high-resolution view and a second view such as a second high-resolution view of the 3D video in the SVC enhancement layer may be separate frames. A first half-resolution view and a second half-resolution view of the 3D video in the SVC base layer may be packed in a single frame. The first half-resolution view in the SVC base layer may be a base-layer reference for the first high-resolution view in the SVC enhancement layer for inter-layer prediction of spatial scalable coding. The first high-resolution view in the SVC enhancement layer may be an intra-layer reference for the second high-resolution view in the SVC enhancement layer for intra-layer prediction of temporal scalable coding. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20110174264 | AIRLESS FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - An airless nozzle and fuel deliver system for a fuel-fired burner sprays fuel droplets for ignition to increase heat for regenerating an exhaust component. A source of pressurized fuel delivers pressurized fuel to a first fuel injector. In response to a first control signal, the first fuel injector is opened and fuel pressure is increased to a desired level to open a valve such that the fuel can be delivered to the airless nozzle. The airless nozzle sprays fuel droplets for a period of time that the first fuel injector is open. In response to a second control signal, the first fuel injector is closed and a second fuel injector is opened such that fuel is vented to decrease fuel pressure between the valve and the first fuel injector to stop the spray of fuel droplets by closing the valve. | 07-21-2011 |

| 20090208098 | TILING AND MERGING FRAMEWORK FOR SEGMENTING LARGE IMAGES - Described is a technology by which a large image is processed into a seamless, radiometric mean image containing meaningful image objects. A large source image is tiled into non-overlapping tiles, which are each segmented into regions and merged via their regions. Source image pixels are separated into tiles comprising rows and columns. Once tiled, the tiles are segmented into regions, with each region having an identifier and other associated information such as size data, boundary data and neighbor data. The tiles are merged by merging columns or rows of tiles into row blocks or column blocks, respectively. The row blocks or column blocks are vertically or horizontally merged, respectively. Merging may proceed by selecting a pair of regions based on merging cost, merging that pair, updating its associated data and data of neighbor regions based on the merge, and repeating for other pairs until merging stop criteria are met. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20110158503 | Reversible Three-Dimensional Image Segmentation - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to reversible image segmentation. In aspects, candidate pairs for merging three dimensional objects are determined. The cost of merging candidate pairs is computed using a cost function. A candidate pair that has the minimum cost is selected for merging. This may be repeated until all objects have been merged, until a selected number of merging has occurred, or until some other criterion is met. In conjunction with merging objects, data is maintained that allows the merging to be reversed. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20110124053 | POLYMERASE INCORPORATION OF NON-STANDARD NUCLEOTIDES - The disclosed invention teaches processes to amplify oligonucleotides by contacting templates and primers with DNA polymerases and triphosphates of non-standard nucleotides, which form nucleobase pairs fitting the standard Watson-Crick geometry, but joined by hydrogen bonding patterns different from those that join standard A:T and G:C pairs. Thus, this invention relates to nucleotide analogs and their derivatives that, when incorporated into DNA and RNA, expand the number of replicatable nucleotides beyond the four found in standard DNA and RNA. The invention further relates to polymerases that incorporate those non-standard nucleotide analogs into oligonucleotide products using the corresponding triphosphate derivatives, and more specifically, polymerases and non-standard nucleoside triphosphates that support the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), including PCR where the products contain more than one non-standard nucleotide unit. Examples are provides that show this process using 6-amino-5-nitro-3-(1′-beta-D-2′-deoxyribofuranosyl)-2(1H)-pyridone to implement the non-standard “small” donor-donor-acceptor (pyDDA) hydrogen bonding pattern, and 2-amino-8-(r-beta-D-2′-deoxyribofuranosyl)-imidazo[1,2-α]-1,3,5-triazin-4(8H)-one to implement the “large” acceptor-acceptor-donor (puADD) pattern. | 05-26-2011 |
