20110265821 | TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING A SUBSTRATE PROCESSING SYSTEM - Techniques and systems for maintaining a plasma processing kit consisting of protection and shielding elements without causing damage are introduced. The elements may be made of aluminium, polysilicon and quartz and may be coated with silicon. The surfaces of the elemants show a specified roughness. Precision cleaning and recovery of the contamined kit components of a plasma doping (PLAD) system is used, to extend the life and reusability of the components. The methods described cover the stages of inspection, pre-cleaning, mechanical processing and texturing, post-cleaning, clean-room class cleaning and packaging of the components consisting of quartz, aluminium and/or silicon. Techniques described employ the combination of a variety of means (primarily chemical and mechanical) to achieve the desired levels of cleanliness. The result obtained by methods that include Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Laser Particle Count affirm the efficacy of these techniques. | 11-03-2011 |

20100331265 | METHODS FOR THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF BURN INJURIES AND SECONDARY COMPLICATIONS - The disclosure relates to methods for treating a subject suffering from a burn injury or associated complications by administering to the subject an effective amount of an aromatic-cationic peptide. For example, a burn injury may be associated with distant pathophysiological effects, such as hypermetabolism, skeletal muscle dysfunction, and organ damage. The disclosure also relates to methods for protecting a subject from a burn injury by administering an effective amount of an aromatic-cationic peptide to a subject at risk of a burn injury. | 12-30-2010 |
20130209515 | ANTI-INFECTIVE AND IMMUNOMODULATORY COMPOUNDS - The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods that include the use of anti-infective compounds that potentiate the host-immune response or limit or prevent the expression or activity of individual virulence factors. In addition, the compositions have immunomodulatory activity, and therefore can be used to prime host defenses to prevent or limit bacterial, fungal, and viral viability. In the compositions and methods of the inventions, specific steps of the bacterial-, fungal-, or viral-host interaction are targeted to prevent pathogenesis (e.g., infection). Such an approach should prevent pathogenic organisms from acquiring resistance to the protective anti-infective compounds. | 08-15-2013 |

20090253974 | Use of tools, mapping systems, catheters, electrodes or any devices targeting any autonomic nerve(s) structure(s) in the human heart for the diagnostic, treatment and/or prevention of the recurrence of cardiac arrhythmias. - Treatment of atrial fibrillation, targeting the triggering autonomic nerve structures have been shown high efficacy for converting to a sinus rhythm state. However, the efficacy is limited to a short time (<3 months) with a high degree of recurrence of atrial arrhythmias. The recurrence rate was directly correlated to the time of follow-up which would support the role of the autonomic nerve regenerative (or re-establishment) activities for the incidence of the recurrence of atrial arrhythmias (ex. persistent atrial fibrillation). Furthermore, the recurrence degree of atrial fibrillation has not been shown any statistically significant difference between any of the currently used methods within any targeted area. Therefore, the long term inefficacy matter could be related either to the existing technologies or to their uses. The autonomic nerve’ rotors which had triggered first the occurrence of atrial fibrillation would be regenerated its primary activities over time and therefore, triggering again their recurrence. | 10-08-2009 |

20150186282 | REPRESENTING A CACHE LINE BIT PATTERN VIA META SIGNALING - A cache controller with a pattern recognition mechanism can identify patterns in cache lines. Instead of transmitting the entire data of the cache line to a destination device, the cache controller can generate a meta signal to represent the identified bit pattern. The cache controller transmits the meta signal to the destination in place of at least part of the cache line. | 07-02-2015 |

20100003733 | RECOVERY OF INORGANIC SALT DURING PROCESSING OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC FEEDSTOCKS - A method for recovering inorganic salt during processing of a lignocellulosic feedstock is provided. The method comprises pretreating the lignocellulosic feedstock by adding an acid to the feedstock to produce a pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock. A soluble base is then added to the pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock to adjust the pH and produce a neutralized feedstock. The neutralized feedstock is then enzymatically hydrolyzed to produce an enzyme hydrolyzed feedstock and a sugar stream. Inorganic salt is recovered from either a stream obtained from the lignocellulosic feedstock prior to the step of pretreating, a stream obtained from the pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock, a stream obtained from the neutralized feedstock, a stream obtained from the sugar stream, or a combination of these streams. The inorganic salt may be concentrated, clarified, recovered and purified by crystallization, electrodialysis drying, or agglomeration and granulation, and then used as desired, for example as a fertilizer. | 01-07-2010 |

The process comprises introducing an aqueous slurry of the pre-treated cellulosic feedstock at the bottom of a hydrolysis reactor. Axial dispersion in the reactor is limited by avoiding mixing and maintaining an average slurry flow velocity of about 0.1 to about 20 feet per hour, such that the undissolved solids flow upward at a rate slower than that of the liquid. Cellulase enzymes are added to the aqueous slurry before or during the step of introducing. An aqueous stream comprising hydrolysis product and unhydrolyzed solids is removed from the hydrolysis reactor. Also provided are enzyme compositions which comprise cellulase enzymes and flocculents for use in the process. In addition, a kit comprising cellulase enzymes and flocculent is provided. | 05-15-2014 |
