The qualitative information may be input by a user, for example, utilizing a graphical user interface (GUI). In one embodiment, the conversion functions are calculated during a training phase, in which a user periodically provides qualitative information while resource usage data is gathered. The wizard may reside in a hardware management console (HMC) or other administrative console and/or may be a component of a hypervisor or other partition management code. Software code associated with the wizard may be provided by a network server application to a client system for enabling a user to remotely input the qualitative information. | 07-28-2011 |

20140302556 | CONTROLLING O-GLYCOSYLATION IN LOWER EUKARYOTES - Lower eukaryote host cells in which expression of the endogenous protein mannosyltransferase 2 (PMT2) gene has been disrupted by introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding a Pmt2p protein having a mutation in a conserved region of the protein. The mutation confers to the host cell resistance to PMT inhibitors, which are used to reduce the amount of O-glycosylation of recombinant proteins produced by the host cells but which also have the effect of reducing the robustness of the host cells during fermentation. When host cells that express the mutated PMT2 gene but not the endogenous Pmt2p are cultivated in the presence of a P MT inhibitor, the host cells display an increase in cellular robustness during fed-batch fermentation and express recombinant pro teins in high yield while the amounts O-glycosylation are similar to that produced under similar conditions by host cells that express only the endogenous P MT2 gene. | 10-09-2014 |

20090064392 | Disposable mitt - A disposable mitt used for wiping and cleaning babies that inverts to be used as a waste disposal device. The mitt is made up of two different layers, one of a pre-moistened flexible outer layer used to clean up refuse and other waste from a skin's surface, and the other a protective flexible inner layer, usually made of durable plastic that functions to protect the hand from contact with the skin surface. The mitt is used to wipe the skin of the affected area and then hold the refuse materials and any other products used while the user performed the cleaning function (i.e. the diaper, extra wipes, etc.). All refuse materials are disposed of in the mitt apparatus. After wiping the skin surface, the product is inverted so that the inner layers now become the outer layers in order to form a disposable bag. Finally, the use of a pleated edge drawstring ensures that the bag is completely closed and a single continuous loop pull sting ensures that the string does not come detached. | 03-12-2009 |

20150299559 | Folded or Crumpled Proppants With Increased Material Strength for Hydraulic Fracturing, Gravel Packing and Frac Packing - Relatively low strength and/or relatively low density, but ductile materials may be folded or crumpled and finely divided to give proppants for introduction into hydraulic fractures, where the folded or crumpled structure of the proppants gives relatively increased strength relative to the relatively low strength and/or relatively low density of the materials. Materials not previously considered suitable for proppants may be considered when structure or configured in this manner. Similarly to the case where crumpled paper within a cardboard box keeps it from collapsing, the folded or crumpled material spontaneously develops structural rigidity at relatively low volume fractions without a specific externally imposed design. The folded or crumpled proppants may also be used alone or together with conventional proppants for sand control in gravel packs or frac packs. | 10-22-2015 |
