20160047783 | SYSTEM FOR MEASURING CARBON COMPONENT CONTAINED IN PARTICULATE MATTER - In this system, the carbon component of atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5) is measured by: heating a sample in a first oven under such conditions as to fractionate the carbon component into carbon fractions; completely converting each carbon fraction into carbon dioxide gas in a second oven; and then measuring the amount of carbon dioxide gas in the carbon fraction precisely. In the system, the problem that a TCD detector cannot measure a low-concentration fraction is solved by using a combustion gas in a non-diluted state, though a combustion gas diluted 150-fold is used in a conventional elemental analyzer. Thus, the present invention develops an international standard instrument in which one standard sample is used and which enables simple standardized measuring acceptable to The International System of Units (SI). | 02-18-2016 |

Then the DUO layer is etched using a specialized process specifically tuned to etch the DUO and high density plasma (HDP) oxide at a certain selectivity. The higher areas of the wafer topography (active Si areas) have thinner DUO and as the etch process proceeds it starts to etch through the HDP oxide in these areas (active Si areas). The etch process is stopped after a certain depth is reached and before touching down on the silicon nitride oxidation layer. The DUO is removed and a standard chemical-mechanical polish (CMP) is performed on the silicon wafer. After the CMP step the silicon nitride is removed, exposing the silicon substrate between the field oxides. | 04-28-2016 |

Couplant assemblies are described that incorporate a semi-solid component that interfaces directly to the user's body and face of the ultrasound transducer. These couplant assemblies can be shaped, molded, or otherwise machined and, in some embodiments, contain one or more liquid, gel, or other non-solid component in an enclosed reservoir of the couplant assembly. Beneficial embodiments of ultrasound coupling assemblies described herein include those that conform to the contour of the user's body (e.g. the user's head for transcranial applications) and can easily be removed without leaving a messy residue. By having solid materials physically contacting the body, no residue is left that requires cleanup. | 05-21-2015 |

20110177967 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS USING SPLICING REGULATORY PROTEINS INVOLVED IN TUMOR SUPPRESSION - Methods and compositions for diagnosis and prognosis of mammalian carcinoma or cancer derived from primary epithelial cells and tissue fibrosis are designed using newly identified epithelial cell-type specific splicing factors ESRP1 and ESRP2, which have roles in tumor suppression. Diagnostic reagents for the detection of these splicing factors in nucleotide or protein form are useful in such methods. Therapeutic compositions can provide epithelial cells with these factors to maintain FGFR2 and assist in suppressing metastasis. A high throughput splicing assay to identify compounds that change splicing events is described. RNCP1 is also identified as a splicing factor and a diagnostic for conditions characterized by inappropriate FGFR2-splicing. | 07-21-2011 |

20120234014 | FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TWO POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMPS - A fuel flow system for a gas turbine engine includes a first pump, a second pump, a bypass loop, an integrating bypass valve and a pilot valve. The first pump connects to an actuator and a metering valve. The second pump connects to the metering valve and is arranged in parallel with the first pump. The bypass loop recycles fuel flow from the first pump and the second pump to inlets of the first pump and second pump integrating bypass valve includes first and second windows. The first window regulates fuel from the first pump through the bypass loop and the second window that regulates fuel from the second pump through the bypass loop. The pilot valve controls the size of the first and second windows. | 09-20-2012 |
