20090276866 | Production of ungulates, preferably bovines that produce human immunoglobulins - The present invention relates to a method of producing an ungulate having both copies of the IgM heavy chain (mu) rag-1 and/or rag-2 gene eliminated from its genome. Animals which have IgM, rag-1 and/or rag-2 eliminated from their genome are unable to conduct the gene rearrangements that are necessary to generate the antigen receptors of B- or T-lymphocytes, and therefore will not develop native B- or T-cells. Because they are unable to produce B- and T-lymphocytes, these IgM, rag-1, or rag-2 ungulates cannot reject human hematopoietic stem cell preparations, and B- and T-lymphocytes which develop therefrom. Therefore, the present invention also involves injecting into IgM, rag-1, and/or rag-2 deficient ungulates, in utero or shortly after birth, human B- and T-lymphocytes whose immune systems produce human immunoglobulin that can be processed for therapeutic uses in humans. | 11-05-2009 |

This is effected by inactivation of the IgM heavy chain expression and, optionally, by inactivation of the Ig light chain expression, and by the further introduction of an artificial chromosome which results in the expression of non-bovine antibodies, preferably human antibodies. | 03-17-2011 |

20090269753 | GENOTYPING FOR SRC-1 PREDICTS FOR BONE LOSS - Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disease characterized by loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fracture. Osteoporosis most commonly occurs in postmenopausal women due to estrogen deficiency. We identified 3 genetic variants in steroid receptor coactivator 1 (SRC-1) that are significantly associated with a decrease in BMD in women. We characterized a functional variant in exon 18 of SRC-1 that is associated with increased loss of bone mineral density in women who received tamoxifen for treatment or prevention of breast cancer. In vitro experiments show that this variant decreases estrogen receptor alpha response (ER-alpha) to hormone, suggesting an attenuated response to endogenous and exogenous hormones in the bone of these women, and therefore a need for additional bone protective measures. | 10-29-2009 |

20100245037 | ON CHIP VERIFICATION AND CONSEQUENT ENABLEMENT OF CARD OS OPERATION IN SMART CARDS - On Chip Smart Card verification of a cardholder using biometrics such as a fingerprint and consequent enablement of a card operating system, having an additional software layer boot prior to the commercial card operating system booting. This software layer, or boot loader, provides the drivers and functionality for the finger print sensor and on-card matching. If the cardholder is successfully authenticated, the unmodified commercial OS is then allowed to boot. If the cardholder does not authenticate with the boot loader then the card does not boot the card operating system and thus cannot be used for financial transactions. | 09-30-2010 |

20090241860 | ENHANCED STEAM CYCLE UTILIZING A DUAL PRESSURE RECOVERY BOILER WITH REHEAT - An enhanced steam cycle utilizing a dual pressure recovery boiler with reheat allows a large increase in electrical generation with various turbine cycles while overcoming traditional lower furnace material limitations. A dual pressure designed recovery boiler furnace is provided with a lower furnace and an upper furnace. The lower furnace is operated at a lower temperature to prevent or reduce corrosion of the lower furnace wall tubes caused by the reducing environment. The lower furnace can be either a low pressure natural circulation steam generating (drum) system or economizer. Unlike the lower furnace, the upper furnace is not exposed to a reducing environment and is therefore not as susceptible to severe corrosion rates. The upper furnace is operated at higher temperatures and pressures which permit implementation of higher efficiency reheat steam cycles. The upper furnace thus operates as a high pressure natural circulation steam generating (drum) system, or as a once-through supercritical steam generating system. The dual pressure recovery boiler can thus be coupled to a variety of condensing, non-condensing or a combination of condensing and non-condensing turbine cycles to provide a large increase in electrical generation. | 10-01-2009 |
