20100089753 | FLUORESCENT DETECTION OF PROTEINS IN POLYACRYLAMIDE GELS - The mechanism of the UV light-induced reaction between the indole moiety of tryptophan and chloroform, and the structure of the modified tryptophan and polypeptides including such modified tryptophan residues. The excited indole moiety, which is formed upon UV light irradiation, emits a solvated electron which initiates a series of events that yield fluorescent derivatives that have CHO group covalently bound to the indole moiety. These derivatives are herein referred to as formyltryptophan, and are relatively stable. Similar reactions are observed when 5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-fluorotryptophan, or N-methylindolacetate are used in place of tryptophan, or when other haloalkanes, such as trichloracetic acid, trichlorethanol, trichlorethane, bromoform, and iodoactetate are used in place of chloroform. The derivatives can be used in a variety of applications in fluorescence spectroscopy, and for nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray crystallography, infra-red spectroscopy, circular dicroism and mass spectroscopy. Additionally, the UV light-induced reaction between the indole moiety of tryptophan and haloalkanes can be used to prepare derivatives of tryptophan for chemical cross-linking studies of proteins and peptides. | 04-15-2010 |

20130088733 | System and Method For Transferring Documents - Mobile devices enable users to access data and documents in a convenient portable format. The disclosed method and system enables documents to be transferred/moved onto a mobile device for review or reference by making the transfer simple and straight forward so that it is easy for non-technically literate users (e.g. administrative assistant putting documents on their executive's mobile device). From a sender perspective the transfer mechanism can work whether the mobile device is on a local network (relative to the sender) or on a remote network when the sender does not know the actual location of the mobile device. | 04-11-2013 |
20130283091 | METHODS, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEMS FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE RECOVERY - Methods, apparatus, and systems for electronic device recovery are disclosed. An example method includes determining that a software request received from a computing device includes an indication of a repair mode of an electronic device, determining a characteristic of the electronic device, determining software to be provided to the electronic device based on the characteristic, and in response to determining that the software request includes the indication of the repair mode, transmitting location information for the software to the computing device. | 10-24-2013 |
20140213233 | MOBILE EQUIPMENT CUSTOMIZATION USING A SINGLE MANUFACTURING CONFIGURATION - Personalization of a mobile device, including receiving at the mobile device a unique code; selecting, from a plurality of personalization policies stored on the mobile device a personalization policy that corresponds to the unique code; and storing the selected personalization policy in a persistent protected storage element of the mobile device. Customizing a mobile device, including determining at the mobile device a unique code; selecting, from a plurality of customized data sets stored on the mobile device a data set that corresponds to the unique code; and activating the selected data set on the mobile device. | 07-31-2014 |

20100013689 | REDUCED COMPONENT DIGITAL TO ANALOG DECODER AND METHOD - An n bit D/A decoder is formed using P-type and N-type transistor switches, instead of convention CMOS switches. Each P-type and N-type switch may be formed of fewer transistors than those used to form a CMOS switch, thereby reducing the overall transistor count. The decoder may be used to decode digital values to non-linear GAMMA corrected analog output voltages. | 01-21-2010 |

20090220366 | Slide valve position indicator - The angular displacement of an inclined cam about the compressor slide valve shaft rotates an annular surface having a helically inclined face aligned with and spaced apart from a sensor head of a magnetic sensor mounted to the compressor. The rotation provides a linear variation in the size of the gap between the sensor head and the inclined ramp which directly corresponds to the compressor slide valve position between its fully closed and fully open positions. Linear variation in the size of the gap produces a correspondingly linear output signal from the magnetic sensor which provides the input for an analog input card in an associated programmable logic controller to determine the slide value position. | 09-03-2009 |
