| 20080211907 | Video surveillance system - Viewing a three dimensional area from numerous camera angles at different exposures using intensity and chromaticity data at the different exposures to create a pixel model for each pixel. A current image is compared with the background model to find pixels that have changed from their pixel model. These novel pixels are processed using contiguous region detection and grouped into foreground figures. For each camera, software extracts features from each foreground figure. A central processor maintains an object model for each foreground figure. A graphical user interface displays the relative location of foreground figures in a world model. The location and identification of the foreground figures is checked against a table of permissions so as to selectively generate an alert. If a figure leaves or is about the leave a cell, the invention accounts for its approximate position and notifies adjacent cells of the expected arrival of the foreground figure. | 09-04-2008 |

| 20090253608 | Stabilized Propyl Bromide Compositions - Certain substituted phenolic compounds when used with or without 1,2-epoxides as the sole stabilizer components are very effective in stabilizing n-propyl bromide (NPB). In a standard commercially important 60° C. stability test, representative substituted phenolic compounds used pursuant to this invention, can enable NPB to pass the test even though present at levels of about 50 ppm (wt/wt) or less in NPB containing no other stabilizer additive component. In fact, amounts as low as 1 ppm have been found effective with various substituted phenolic compounds. In addition, it has been found that one of the preferred stabilizers of this invention—2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol—even though higher boiling than NPB, left inconsequential amounts of residue at least throughout the range of 1 to 30 ppm (wt/wt). Also, it has been found that certain other preferred stabilizers of this invention can provide synergistically improved stability in passing the 60° C. stability test when used with at least one 1,2-epoxide, notably butylene oxide. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20090298083 | Phospho-Specific Anti-Pax3 Antibodies - Pax3, a member of the paired class homeodomain family of transcription factors and an essential protein for early skeletal muscle development, was shown to be phosphorylated in proliferating mouse primary myoblasts. Furthermore, Ser205, Ser201 and Ser209 were identified as the only sites of phosphorylation on Pax3 in proliferating mouse primary myoblasts. Phosphorylation of Ser205 was shown to be required for the efficient phosphorylation of Ser201 and/or Ser209. Site-specific antibodies were made to each of these three sites when phosphorylated. These three sites are also present and phosphorylated in the Pax3-FOXO1 fusion protein, and phosphorylation of these sites may play a role in ARMS. Thus, these new antibodies may be used in studying the regulation of nerve and muscle development and differentiation and in finding therapeutic solutions for certain disorders, including Waardenburg syndrome and childhood solid muscle tumor alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS). | 12-03-2009 |
