20090075948 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR REGULATING CELLULAR PROTECTION - The invention provides a method of inducing a protective response in cells by activating a heat shock response, via heat shock transcription factor (HSF), without stressing the cells. The invention is based on the surprising discovery that HSF can be activated in non-stressed cells by disrupting interaction with the repressive cognate protein, Hsc70. As described herein, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), including salicylic acid and ibuprofen, can stimulate HSF DNA binding, Hsp70 transcription and Hsp70 protein synthesis in non-stressed cells. By activating HSF, the degenerative effects of certain neurodegenerative proteins such as polyglutamine repeat proteins (Huntington's disease) and the α-synuclein protein (Parkinson's disease) can be offset. The invention thus provides a method of ameliorating symptoms of neurodegenerative disease. | 03-19-2009 |

The primary leads are constructed to expand outwardly to place the electrodes into apposition with an anatomical structure. High frequency energy can be applied from the leads to create a heating effect in the surrounding tissue of the anatomical structure. The diameter of the hollow anatomical structure is reduced by the heating effect, and the electrodes of the primary leads are moved closer to one another. Where the hollow anatomical structure is a vein, energy is applied until the diameter of the vein is reduced to the point where the vein is occluded.

Embodiments of the subject array assay devices include (1) a base, (2) a cover, and (3) a clamping member for holding the cover to the base, wherein when the cover is operatively held to the base about a structure that includes an array assembly spaced-apart from a backing element, the array assembly and the backing element are deflected to substantially the same curvature. Embodiments of the subject methods include contacting a sample with a backing element and placing the backing element supported sample in contact with an array assembly to form a structure that includes the backing element and array assembly. The structure is then held together using a subject array assay device and the array substrate and the backing element are deflected to substantially the same curvature. | 08-21-2008 |

20090023494 | Gaming event management system - An event management architecture (EMA) for managing gaming events includes a plurality of sub-events associated with a gaming event. Each sub-event has at least one sub-event participant and provides a sub-event score to each sub-event participant according to a set of sub-event rules during a sub-event interval. A scheduling coordinator schedules, for each sub-event, the sub-event interval. A registration coordinator registers, for each sub-event, each participant. A scoring processor records, for each sub-event, the sub-event score for each participant, where the sub-event score is converted into a standard format. Each sub-event may be associated with a generic sub-event container, which takes advantage of the common characteristics or functionality requirements of the sub-events to facilitate the management of the sub-events. The EMA minimizes the need to administer the events individually, and can be scalably used to manage complex arrangements of interdependent sub-events of varying types. | 01-22-2009 |
20090327079 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A DELIVERY NETWORK ARCHITECTURE - A system and method of managing delivery of data files receives a user request for a data file and determines a user profile and permission level based upon the received user request. The system and method establishes a delivery file path for the requested data file based upon the user profile and permission level, prioritizes delivery of the requested file based upon the user profile and permission level, and delivers the requested file using the established file path and the prioritization determination. A requester may upgrade their user profile and permission level to gain performance resources to access requested files, and the system re-prioritizes deliveries based on the new levels. If sufficient resources are not available to service a user request, the request enters a delivery queue based upon the user profile and permission level. When resources are available, the system delivers the requested file. | 12-31-2009 |

20090095849 | Jet pump sensing line T-bolt clamp assembly - A remotely installable piping support attachment assembly employs a T-bolt type fastener for clamping a relatively smaller instrumentation pipe, e.g., the jet pump sensing line, to the wall of an adjacent structure. The attachment assembly includes a T-bolt, a split pipe clamp support, a ratchet nut with peripheral ratchet teeth, and a ratchet lock washer. When the nut is tightened on the threaded shank of the T-bolt, a top plate and an anchor of the split pipe clamp support are pressed together to clamp the jet pump sensing line therebetween. The top plate is defined by an L-beam folded spring plate comprised of first and second plate parts disposed generally in parallel and joined at a living hinge flex joint so that said plate parts each have a free end edge remote from said flex joint, the free end edges being spaced apart to define a gap therebetween without preload. | 04-16-2009 |

20090119279 | Graph caching - In a method and apparatus for analyzing nodes of a Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA), an accessibility ranking, based on a DFA graph geometrical configuration, may be determined in order to determine cacheable portions of the DFA graph in order to reduce the number of external memory accesses. A walker process may be configured to walk the graph in a graph cache as well as main memory. The graph may be generated in a manner allowing each arc to include information if the node it is pointing to is stored in the graph cache or in main memory. The walker may use this information to determine whether or not to access the next arc in the graph cache or in main memory. | 05-07-2009 |
20120011373 | System and Method for Secure Device Key Storage - Disclosed are systems and methods for protecting secret device keys, such as High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) device keys. Instead of storing secret device keys in the plain, a security algorithm and one or more protection keys are stored on the device. The security algorithm is applied to the secret device keys and the one or more protection keys to produce encrypted secret device keys. The encrypted secret device keys are then stored either on chip or off-chip. | 01-12-2012 |

20140032607 | Content Search Mechanism That Uses A Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) Graph, A DFA State Machine, And A Walker Process - An improved content search mechanism uses a graph that includes intelligent nodes avoids the overhead of post processing and improves the overall performance of a content processing application. An intelligent node is similar to a node in a DFA graph but includes a command. The command in the intelligent node allows additional state for the node to be generated and checked. This additional state allows the content search mechanism to traverse the same node with two different interpretations. By generating state for the node, the graph of nodes does not become exponential. It also allows a user function to be called upon reaching a node, which can perform any desired user tasks, including modifying the input data or position. | 01-30-2014 |

20120112062 | Environmental Cell for Charged Particle Beam System - An environmental cell for a charged particle beam system allows relative motion between the cell mounted on an X-Y stage and the optical axis of the focusing column, thereby eliminating the need for a sub-stage within the cell. A flexible cell configuration, such as a retractable lid, permits a variety of processes, including beam-induced and thermally-induced processes. Photon yield spectroscopy performed in a charged particle beam system and using gas cascade amplification of the photoelectrons allows analysis of material in the cell and monitoring of processing in the cell. Luminescence analysis can be also performed using a retractable minor. | 05-10-2012 |
