20150085963 | RECOVERING AND RECYCLING URANIUM USED FOR PRODUCTION OF MOLYBDENUM-99 - A processes for recycling uranium that has been used for the production of molybdenum-99 involves irradiating a solution of uranium suitable for forming fission products including molybdenum-99, conditioning the irradiated solution to one suitable for inducing the formation of crystals of uranyl nitrate hydrates, then forming the crystals and a supernatant and then separating the crystals from the supernatant, thus using the crystals as a source of uranium for recycle. Molybdenum-99 is recovered from the supernatant using an adsorbent such as alumina. Another process involves irradiation of a solid target comprising uranium, forming an acidic solution from the irradiated target suitable for inducing the formation of crystals of uranyl nitrate hydrates, then forming the crystals and a supernatant and then separating the crystals from the supernatant, thus using the crystals as a source of uranium for recycle. Molybdenum-99 is recovered from the supernatant using an adsorbent such as alumina. | 03-26-2015 |
20150085964 | RECOVERY OF URANIUM FROM AN IRRADIATED SOLID TARGET AFTER REMOVAL OF MOLYBDENUM-99 PRODUCED FROM THE IRRADIATED TARGET - A process for minimizing waste and maximizing utilization of uranium involves recovering uranium from an irradiated solid target after separating the medical isotope product, molybdenum-99, produced from the irradiated target. The process includes irradiating a solid target comprising uranium to produce fission products comprising molybdenum-99, and thereafter dissolving the target and conditioning the solution to prepare an aqueous nitric acid solution containing irradiated uranium. The acidic solution is then contacted with a solid sorbent whereby molybdenum-99 remains adsorbed to the sorbent for subsequent recovery. The uranium passes through the sorbent. The concentrations of acid and uranium are then adjusted to concentrations suitable for crystallization of uranyl nitrate hydrates. After inducing the crystallization, the uranyl nitrate hydrates are separated from a supernatant. The process results in the purification of uranyl nitrate hydrates from fission products and other contaminants. The uranium is therefore available for reuse, storage, or disposal. | 03-26-2015 |

20100142538 | M2M data router - A router receives data packets from a remote M2M device and routes all or a portion of the data to one or more servers for further processing. Routing is determined based on the application layer data (data or data type) within the packet. For example, in a GPS tracking device, the data packet (or certain data within the packet) is routed to a first server when the data is of a first type or according to specific rule governing routing based upon some attribute. | 06-10-2010 |
20100202451 | MODIFIED INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) DATA PACKET FOR ASYNCHRONOUS IP COMMUNICATIONS - Systems and methods are disclosed that promote asynchronous communication through customized Internet protocol headers. This asynchronous communication is promoted by encoding additional information into the header of at least one data packet. The formatting and content of the packet header may be determined through an application programming interface (API). In addition, the header of this data packet may be of a variable length. The length of the data packet may be dependent upon the requirements of the API. In some embodiments, the header comprises sufficient information that, when interpreted by the API, promotes asynchronous communication. | 08-12-2010 |

20100332291 | SYSTEM, PROCESS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR EVALUATING LEADS - System, process, and computer program product for evaluating a lead are provided. A process for evaluating a lead may include determining whether each incoming lead is duplicative, determining a score for each lead, valuing each lead based on the lead score and outcome data, and determining sales capacity and the motor vehicle dealer's existing need for leads. The process may also include applying business rules to each lead using a processor, where the business rules may include the real-time optimization of sales capacity and lead need of a motor vehicle dealer. The process may further include routing each lead based upon the satisfaction of the business rules. | 12-30-2010 |

20130167096 | LOCATION AND TIMING WINDOW BASED DECOUPLING CAPACITOR EVAULATION TOOL AND METHOD - A method of designing an integrated circuit includes receiving a placement database of logic devices of an electronic device design that includes first and second logic devices. The method further includes determining a first timing window associated with a first state transition of the first logic device, and a second timing window associated with a second state transition of the second logic device. In the event that the first and second timing windows overlap, the placement database is modified, thereby reducing interaction of the first and second logic devices. | 06-27-2013 |
20130167098 | POWER ESTIMATION USING ACTIVITY INFORMATION - A method of estimating power consumption of an electronic device is performed by a processing device. The estimating includes estimating a power consumption of a gate-level implementation of an electronic device design. The estimating further includes independently calculating for each of a plurality of implementation-invariant nodes of the design an incremental power dissipation associated with that node. | 06-27-2013 |

20130088275 | DYNAMIC VOLTAGE DROP AWARE CLOCK INSERTION TOOL - A clock tree power decoupling system includes a pre-decoupling processor that provides a clock tree that supports a critical timing path condition. The clock tree power decoupling system also includes a clock tree power decoupler having a clock tree module that identifies clock buffers in the clock tree corresponding to synchronous start and end points of the critical timing path condition, and a power decoupling module that inserts a decoupling capacitance proximate the clock buffers in the clock tree, wherein the decoupling capacitance is sized to rectify the critical timing path condition. The clock tree power decoupling system additionally includes a post-decoupling processor that provides a power-decoupled clock-inserted database employing the decoupling capacitance. A method of clock tree power decoupling is also provided. | 04-11-2013 |

20130064901 | GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING FOR CLASSIFYING AND TREATING GASTRIC CANCER - The invention relates to methods for diagnosis and prognosis of gastric cancer. The approach described herein can distinguish intestinal-type gastric cancer (G-INT) from diffuse-type gastric cancer (G-DIF). The genomic expression signatures of G-INT and G-DIF define two major sets of genes. A diagnosis of gastric cancer G-INT and G-DIF can be made on the basis of the expression levels of these genes. This can lead to a better prognosis and treatment of gastric cancer. | 03-14-2013 |
