20110020467 | Inhibition of Biogenic Sulfide Production Via Biocide and Metabolic Inhibitor Combination - Biogenic sulfide production is synergistically inhibited by treating sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) with a biocide and a metabolic inhibitor. The biocide directly kills a first portion of the SRB. The metabolic inhibitor inhibits sulfate-reducing growth of a second portion of the SRB without directly killing the second portion of the SRB. The treatment of SRB with both a biocide and a metabolic inhibitor provides effective biogenic sulfide inhibition at significantly lower concentrations than would be required if the biocide or metabolic inhibitor was used alone. | 01-27-2011 |
20100086050 | MESH BASED FRAME PROCESSING AND APPLICATIONS - A method of processing sequential frames of data comprises repeating the following steps for successive frames of data: acquiring at least a reference frame containing data points and a current frame of data points; identifying a set of anchor points in the reference frame; assigning to each anchor point in the reference frame a respective motion vector that estimates the location of the anchor point in the current frame; defining polygons formed of anchor points in the reference frame, each polygon containing data points in the reference frame, each polygon and each data point contained within the polygon having a predicted location in the current frame based on the motion vectors assigned to anchor points in the polygon; for one or more polygons in the reference frame, adjusting the number of anchor points in the reference frame based on accuracy of the predicted locations of data points in the current frame; and if the number of anchor points is increased by addition of new anchor points, then assigning motion vectors to the new anchor points that estimate the location of the anchor points in the current frame. | 04-08-2010 |
20090214479 | ATTENUATED REOVIRUS - Compositions and methods are provided that relate to an attenuated reovirus exhibiting oncolytic activity toward cancer cells while displaying reduced lytic activity toward non-malignant cells. Exemplified is an attenuated human reovirus derived from persistently infected fibrosarcoma cells that lacks wild-type reovirus S1 and S4 genes and consequently lacks a detectable reoviral outer capsid σ1 protein and expresses a mutated reoviral outer capsid σ3 protein. | 08-27-2009 |
20080200964 | GASTROINTESTINAL MOTILITY CONTROL - A method and a multichannel implantable device are described for partial or complete restoration of impaired gastrointestinal motility, or for disturbing and/or partially or completely blocking normal gastrointestinal motility using one or multiple microsystem-controlled channels of circumferentially arranged sets of two or more electrodes which provide externally-invoked synchronized electrical signals to the smooth muscles via the neural pathways. | 08-21-2008 |
