20110185831 | Interchangeable-Core adjuster assembly for optical mounts - The interchangeable-core adjuster assembly for optical mounts comprises a carrier bushing and an internally-threaded core bushing that fits snuggly inside the carrier bushing. The carrier bushing is fixedly fitted into the hole the stage plate of the optical mount, and the core bushing slides inside it. The core bushing is irrotatably locked into position within the carrier bushing by conjugate key-keyway structures on carrier and core bushings. While the carrier bushing remains in the stage plate of the optical mount, the core bushing can be removed and replaced with another core bushing having a different pitch. In this way, the same mount may be used with either fine adjuster screw or ultra-fine adjuster screws by simply interchanging core bushings having the corresponding pitches. | 08-04-2011 |
20140301802 | Zero-Backlash Bushing - A zero-backlash bushing employs a dual-component composite design, comprising a tapered resilient slotted bushing core compressibly engaged by a cylindrical annular sleeve. As opposed to the axial pressure of a locking nut, the annular sleeve exerts a circumferential pressure on the bushing core, thereby inducing a tight radial engagement between the threads of the bushing core and the adjustment screw, as opposed to the lateral thread engagement induced by a locking nut. This tight radial engagement leaves radial gaps between the threads of the bushing core and the screw, which radial gaps can be filled with grease. Slots in the bushing core enable migration of grease within the bushing and facilitate constriction of the bushing core. | 10-09-2014 |

20150379558 | DETECTING UNINTENTIONAL USER INPUT TO MOBILE ADVERTISEMENTS - Some embodiments of the invention provide techniques for identifying unintentional input to a mobile advertisement. Unintentional user input may be identified by determining a time interval between events (e.g., two events) relating to the user's interaction with the mobile advertisement, and comparing the time interval to a threshold time interval (e.g., a predetermined, static threshold time interval). If the time interval is shorter than the threshold time interval, then the user's input is determined to be unintentional. If the user's input is determined to be unintentional, then statistics relating to serving of the ad may be adjusted accordingly, so that the unintentional input does not skew ad performance metrics, and does not cause the advertiser to bear unnecessary costs. | 12-31-2015 |

20090136447 | Inhibition of dendritic cell-driven regulatory T cell activation and potentiation of tumor antigen-specific T cell responses by interleukin-15 and MAP kinase inhibitor - The invention involves the discovery that if dendritic cells loaded with a tumor antigen are cultured in interleukin-15 (IL-15), or if T cells activated by the dendritic cells are cultured in IL-15, Treg activity that is specific for the tumor antigen is reduced. This reduction in Treg activity results in an increase in anti-tumor immune response. Another embodiment of the invention involves the discovery that incubating dendritic cells with a MAP kinase inhibitor in combination with IL-15 gives synergistic benefits when the dendritic cells are used to activate T cells. Dendritic cell and T cell compositions incubated with IL-15 or a MAP kinase inhibitor are provided. | 05-28-2009 |

20120110339 | Security Software For Vector File Format Data - Systems and/or methods where a file requires an associated token to be accessed (see DEFINITIONS section) by the software used to access the file and that the token effectively requires that: (i) a particular authorized copy (or subset of authorized copies) of the software is being used to access the file; and (ii) that the authorized software is being run on an authorized hardware set (for example, organizational server computer). In at least some preferred embodiments, the files are specifically vector file format data files (“vffdf's”). In at least some preferred embodiments: (i) the token associated with the file is called a public token; (ii) the authorized software copy includes a private token; (iii) the file is encrypted; and (iv) the public and private tokens must sufficiently correspond in order for the file to be decrypted and thereby accessed. In at least some preferred embodiments, files that have an associated token cannot be accessed unless each licensing condition of a set of licensing (see DEFINITION of “license”) conditions, including at least one licensing condition is met, such that the use of the software on the file bearing the token is considered to be authorized. If the licensing conditions are not all met, then the software may or may not still be allowed to process files that do not bear a token according to the present invention. | 05-03-2012 |
