20150039651TEMPLATES FOR DEFINING FIELDS IN MACHINE DATA - A field extraction template simplifies the creation of field extraction rules by providing a user with a set of field names commonly assigned to a certain type of data, as well as guidance on how to extract values for those fields. These field extraction rules, in turn, facilitate access to certain “chunks” of the data, or to information derived from those chunks, through named fields. A field extraction template comprises at least a set of field names and ordering data for the field names. The ordering data indicates index positions that are associated with at least some of the field names. A delimiter is specified for splitting data items into arrays of chunks. The chunk of a data item that belongs to a given field name is the chunk whose position within the item's array of chunks is equivalent to the index position associated with the given field name.02-05-2015

20100158899PROTEIN FORMULATION - A stable lyophilized protein formulation is described which can be reconstituted with a suitable diluent to generate a high protein concentration reconstituted formulation which is suitable for subcutaneous administration. For example, anti-IgE and anti-HER2 antibody formulations have been prepared by lyophilizing these antibodies in the presence of a lyoprotectant. The lyophilized mixture thus formed is reconstituted to a high protein concentration without apparent loss of stability of the protein.06-24-2010
