20150369939 | Determining A Quantitative Bond Using Signal Attenuation - A technique facilitates determination of a quantitative bond between a pipe and adjacent materials, e.g. between a wellbore casing and adjacent cement. The quantitative bond is established via acoustic measurements related to signal attenuation. Additionally, the acoustic measurements may be conducted with a sonic tool during a wellbore operation, e.g. during a drilling operation. The methodology enables use of signal attenuation in a manner which facilitates determination of bond index coverage up to a high percentage, e.g. 100 percent. | 12-24-2015 |

20120131537 | REUSING EXPRESSION GRAPHS IN COMPUTER PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES - A reusable expression graph system and method that generates reusable expression graphs that can be used with potentially different input parameters in order to achieve computational efficiency and ease of programming. Reusable expression graph mitigate the need to rebuild an expression for each new value. This is achieved in part by creating a node called a “parameter node.” The parameter node acts as a generic placeholder for a leaf node in the expression graph. In addition, the parameter node acts as a proxy for a bindable term of the leaf node, and the bindable term can be either a value or one or more additional expressions. The parameter node then is bound to the bindable term and the expression is evaluated with that bindable term instead of the placeholder. The parameter node created by embodiments of the reusable expression graph system and method works across many different programming languages. | 05-24-2012 |

20090136524 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF TUMORS - Based on the observation of the cooperation of osteopontin (OPN) and matrixmetalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the promotion of the metastatic phenotype, therapies and diagnostic assays are disclosed for the treatment of a tumor that overexpresses OPN, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), for example metastatic HCC. In one example, methods of treating a tumor include administration of an agent that reduces cellular invasion resulting from the interaction between a fragment of OPN (OPN-5kD) generated by MMP-9 cleavage and CD44 receptor. Examples of such agents include fragments of OPN-5 kD and antibodies specific for OPN-5kD. Therapeutic compositions are also provided that include such agents. Also provided are methods of diagnosing or prognosing a tumor, for example by detecting expression of OPN-5kD peptide or OPN-c mRNA in a biological sample obtained from the subject. Also provided are antibodies that specifically bind OPN-5kD. | 05-28-2009 |

20150114857 | CONTAINER FOR DISPENSING A COMBINATION PRODUCT - A container assembly comprising first and second compartments. The first compartment includes a base web having a formed portion and a flat portion, a lidding material joined to the flat portion and a frangible seal positioned between the base web and the lidding material. The second compartment includes first and second barriers that are sealed to one another at peripheral edges. The first barrier has an aperture through which the formed portion of the base web extends. An upper surface of the flat portion of the base web is joined to an interior surface of the first barrier, thereby encapsulating the frangible seal within the second compartment. When the frangible seal is broken, a passageway is provided for transferring material from the first compartment into the second compartment for mixing with a second material. The second compartment may then be opened to dispense the mixture. | 04-30-2015 |
