20150376578 | NON-COVALENT LOADING OF PLANT PICORNAVIRUS PARTICLES - A method of non-covalently loading a plant picornavirus is described. The method includes contacting a plant picornavirus in solution with a molar excess of a cargo molecule to load the plant picornavirus with the cargo molecule, and then purifying the loaded plant picornavirus. Examples of cargo molecules include imaging agents, antitumor agents, and antiviral agents. Loaded plant picornaviruses prepared in this manner can be used to delivering cargo molecule to cells. | 12-31-2015 |

20100084539 | STRUCTURE FOR MOUNTING AN OBJECT ON A VERTICAL SURFACE AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A picture hanger has a base portion having a hole for an elongated fastener (nail or screw). The base portion carries a member enclosing a front face or the entire base portion. The member has a through hole aligned with and on one or both sides of the fastener hole. The elongated fastener is held in place in the holes so that the fastener need not be manually held during driving thereof into a picture frame or wall. The member is injection molded on the base portion, and consists essentially of nylon-6,6 having a Shore A hardness in the range of 80-90. | 04-08-2010 |
20140326848 | OFFSET HANGER FOR MINIMIZING SPACE BETWEEN FRAME AND WALL - A picture frame hanger includes a member stamped of thin sheet having a thickness on the order of 0.05″ and includes a lower flat depending portion arranged in a first vertical plane. At least one connecting portion or tab is provided that is horizontally offset from the depending portion and arranged in a second vertical plane parallel to the first plane. An integral bridging portion is arranged in a horizontal plane or normal to the first and second planes spaced a distance less than a depth of the upper rail. The connecting portion attaches the hanger to the upper rail rear surface. The depending portion is offset by the bridging portion to position the depending portion internally of the frame cavity spaced from the wall. The frame can be supported on a wall or surface while being spaced from the wall by only the thickness of the connecting portions. | 11-06-2014 |

20090070482 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR COOPERATIVE FILE DISTRIBUTION WITH TARGET DATA DELIVERY RATE - Methods and apparatus are provided for cooperative file distribution with a target data delivery rate. A file is provided in a cooperative file distribution system by obtaining a target delivery rate for the at least one file; obtaining at least a portion of the file from one or mole unreliable data sources at an unreliable data delivery rate; and obtaining at least a portion of the file from one or more reliable data sources based on a throttle rate if the unreliable data delivery rate is below the target delivery rate. The one ox more unreliable data sources comprise one or more of a sender of the file and one or more peels. The one or more reliable data sources comprise one or more of one or more web servers and one or more storage proxies. The throttle rate can be adjusted to substantially maintain the target delivery rate. The target delivery rate can be dynamically determined based on one or more business rules. | 03-12-2009 |
20100235641 | SECURITY TECHNIQUES FOR COOPERATIVE FILE DISTRIBUTION - Security techniques are provided for cooperative file distribution. An encryption key or a nonce (or both) are generated for a package containing one or more files that are to be sent in a cooperative file distribution system. Random access encryption techniques can be employed to encrypt a package containing one or more files to be sent in a cooperative file distribution system. One or more storage proxies are allocated to a package to be transmitted in a cooperative file distribution system, based on load. Access to trackers in the cooperative file distribution system is controlled using security tokens. Content can automatically expire using a defined expiration period when the content is uploaded into the system. Variable announce intervals allow the tracker to control how often the tracker will receive a message, such as an announcement or a heartbeat message, from peers in the system. | 09-16-2010 |

20130067346 | Content User Experience - A content user experience is described. In one or more implementations, a user interface is displayed that has selectable representations of content sources, at least one of which is available via a network. Responsive to selection of one or more of the content sources via the user interface, representations of content are displayed in the user interface using metadata obtained from the selected one or more content sources, the representations arranged according to a hierarchy used at a respective content source to arrange access to the content. Responsive to selection of one or more of the representations via the user interface; the content is obtained that corresponds to the selected representations and the obtained content is displayed in the user interface. | 03-14-2013 |

20120084341 | PRESENTING AVAILABILITY STATUSES OF SYNCHRONIZED OBJECTS - The objects of an on object set may be synchronized across many clients (e.g., various devices may synchronize files of a mirrored filesystem). However, the synchronization of an object may be complicated, and an object may not yet be synchronized in the object set of a client for many reasons, such as an incomplete reception of the object, an unavailability of the object from currently reachable hosts, and a versioning conflict with a different version of the same object in the object set. In order to inform a user of the availability of an object in the object set, an analysis of the availability status of the object may be performed (e.g., by tracking metadata stored in object descriptors of respective objects of the object set, and later examining the metadata of respective objects), and a selected availability status may be presented to the user. | 04-05-2012 |
20120151100 | DEVICE ACTION SERVICE - A user may operate many devices, each of which may provide a set of actions, such as installing firmware or software or viewing the contents of the device. However, in order to perform these actions, the user may have to interact with each device using a different user interface, resulting in an inconsistent user experience. Instead, a device action service may allow a user to identify his or her devices, may identify the actions available for each device (e.g., by interacting with a device source of each device, such as a manufacturer); and upon the request of the user, may present a list of the user's devices and the actions available for each device. The actions may comprise hyperlinks to various portions of the website of the device source (e.g., a driver page and a service registration page), or controls invoking the requested action upon the device. | 06-14-2012 |
