20090125828 | Automatic Creation of Data Relationships - The disclosed implementations allow automatic and transparent creation of data relationships in a database application or other application in response to user generated trigger events. Related data records can be stored and displayed in layouts, screens, forms and user interfaces provided by the database application or other application. Additional or extended information corresponding to the related data can be stored and displayed. | 05-14-2009 |
20090125830 | Compound Fields - A compound field is automatically created in response to a trigger event. In one aspect, a user selects a field type and a compound field associated with the field type is automatically created. A compound field can be manipulated and presented as a single conceptual unit in a user interface (e.g., a form, screen or layout) of an application (e.g., a database application). When an object representing the compound field is dragged and dropped or otherwise selected in the user interface, the compound field is expanded to reveal one or more subfields capable of receiving data from a user. In another aspect, one or more background tables are automatically and transparently created to store compound field objects. In another aspect, a user can create their own compound field types. | 05-14-2009 |

20150135768 | SURVIVAL DOG TAGS - A survival kit is disclosed which provides multiple survival tools. The kit has at least two dog tag survival tools which are removably suspended from a user's neck by a necklace. The necklace has a suspension cord with a length of paracord braided about the outer surface of the suspension cord. The paracord can be un-braided for use as a survival tool. One dog tag has a saw attached to a long edge thereof and another dog tag has a ferrocerium or flint rod attached to a long edge. The dog tags are made of thick aluminum or stainless steel such that it is virtually impossible to bend the dog tag using one's hands. This permits the ferrocerium or flint rod to be struck with the saw to provide sparks for starting fires. A magnifying lens or, optionally, a button compass is provided in the dog tag carrying the ferrocerium or flint rod. The dog tags are provided with an elastic sheath/cover to prevent noise, to protect them and for stealth purposes. At least one surface of each dog tag is highly polished for signaling purposes. | 05-21-2015 |

20160069992 | NEGATIVE PSEUDO-RANGE PROCESSING WITH MULTI-STATIC FMCW RADARS - A multi-static radar system for monitoring water surface targets is provided. The multi-static radar system may include a first and second radar, a state machine, and a signal processor. The radars may be located in separate locations and synchronized using timing signals. The state machine may be configured to determine, using the timing signals, start times and end times of radio frequency signal modulations for each radar. A concept of negative pseudo-range is provided, whereby the modulation start times are configured to allow pseudo-negative time delays at as many as half of the radar receivers, thereby doubling the multi-static echo detections. The signal processor may be configured to simultaneously receive and process the echoes of the radar signals received at the radars to determine position and velocity vectors for the monitored water surface targets. | 03-10-2016 |

20090195437 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING RIVER FLOW PARAMETERS USING A VHF/UHF RADAR STATION - Systems and methods are described for monitoring the surface flow velocity and volume discharge of rivers and channels using a VHF/UHF radar located in operative relationship with a riverbank. This frequency region allows precise estimation and removal of the Bragg wave velocity; it also is matched to the short wind-wave roughness periods existing on river surfaces so that operation is possible nearly all the time. Methods of bearing determination are also disclosed. Up/downriver surface velocity profiles vs. distance across the river may be constructed from maps of the radial velocity component from a single radar at thousands of points within the radar's coverage. Methods to compensate for Doppler aliasing under high flow conditions are also shown. | 08-06-2009 |
20110012776 | COMBINED TRANSMIT/RECEIVE SINGLE-POST ANTENNA FOR HF/VHF RADAR - An antenna configuration is described for high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) radars contained in a single vertical post. The radar may include a vertical dipole or monopole transmitting antenna collocated with a three-element receive antenna. The three antennas including two crossed loops and a vertical element are used in a direction-finding (DF) mode. Isolation between the three antennas produces high quality patterns useful for determining target bearings in DF mode. The single vertical post is sufficiently rigid mechanically that it may be installed along a coast without guy wires. | 01-20-2011 |

20090117545 | Glycine riboswitches, methods for their use, and compositions for use with glycine riboswitches Cross-Reference to Related Applications - It has been discovered that certain natural mRNAs serve as metabolite-sensitive genetic switches wherein the RNA directly binds a small organic molecule. This binding process changes the conformation of the mRNA, which causes a change in gene expression by a variety of different mechanisms. Modified versions of these natural “riboswitches” (created by using various nucleic acid engineering strategies) can be employed as designer genetic switches that are controlled by specific effector compounds. Such effector compounds that activate a riboswitch are referred to herein as trigger molecules. The natural switches are targets for antibiotics and other small molecule therapies. In addition, the architecture of riboswitches allows actual pieces of the natural switches to be used to construct new non-immunogenic genetic control elements, for example the aptamer (molecular recognition) domain can be swapped with other non-natural aptamers (or otherwise modified) such that the new recognition domain causes genetic modulation with user-defined effector compounds. The changed switches become part of a therapy regimen-turning on, or off, or regulating protein synthesis. Newly constructed genetic regulation networks can be applied in such areas as living biosensors, metabolic engineering of organisms, and in advanced forms of gene therapy treatments. | 05-07-2009 |
20130029342 | GLYCINE RIBOSWITCHES, METHODS FOR THEIR USE, AND COMPOSITIONS FOR USE WITH GLYCINE RIBOSWITCHES - Riboswitches are structural elements in mRNA that change state when bound by a trigger molecule, and are thus able to regulate gene expression. They can be dissected into two separate domains: one that selectively binds the target (aptamer domain) and another that influences genetic control (expression platform domain). Bacterial glycine riboswitches consist of two tandem aptamer domains which cooperatively bind glycine to regulate the expression of downstream genes. These natural switches are targets for antibiotics and other small molecule therapies. Modified versions of these natural riboswitches can be employed as designer genetic switches that are controlled by specific effector compounds. Disclosed are isolated and recombinant riboswitches, and compositions and methods for selecting and identifying compounds that can activate, inactivate, or block a riboswitch. | 01-31-2013 |
