## Current Examination Practice in View of In Re Brouwer and In Re Ochiai

- There are no per se rules in examining process claims.
- The examiner must consider the process as a whole using _Graham v. John Deere Co_., 383 US 1, 17, 148 USPQ 459, 467 (1966), analysis.

## Current Examination Practice Con’t.

- Where the claim is directed to a process which requires the use of a novel and nonobvious reagent and/or product to establish a prima facie case of obviousness, the examiner must clearly set forth reasons for finding that the claimed process, as a whole, would have been obvious even though the process uses novel and nonobvious reagent and/or product.

## Current Examination Practice Con’t.

- For process of making claims, the examiner must provide motivation for making novel and nonobvious reagent and/or product.
- For process of use claims, the examiner must provide motivation for using the novel and nonobvious reagent and/or product.

## Treatment of Restricted Subject Matter

- In applications where restriction between product and process of making or process of using is required under 35 USC 121, if applicant elects to prosecute the product claims and the product is subsequently found allowable, withdrawn process claims which depend therefrom or otherwise include all limitations of the allowable product claim will be rejoined.

## Restricted Subject Matter Con’t.

- This would include all method of use claims which are commensurate in scope with the allowed product claims.
- This is true regardless of the number and different uses of the allowed product claims.

## Restricted Subject Matter Con’t.

- The rejoinder of the claims and corresponding withdrawal of the restriction requirement is done without the need for applicant to request the same.

## The African Monsoon Recent Evolution and Current Status

**Update prepared by**
**Climate Prediction Center / NCEP**
**25 January 2008**

## Outline

** **
** ****Recent Evolution and Current Conditions**
** ****Summary**

## Rainfall Patterns: Last 90 Days

**Over the past 90 days, persistent extremely heavy rainfall resulted in moisture surpluses over southwestern Africa in the area encompassing the southern half of Angola and the northwestern tip of Namibia.  Rainfall was also above average across much of the remainder of southern Africa.  Overall light rains resulted in moisture deficits over southeastern Madagascar.   **

## Rainfall Patterns: Last 30 Days

**As cold ENSO episode continued to dominate the global climate system, moderate to heavy rains persisted over much of southern Africa.  The largest rainfall increase continued to occur in the area of maximum precipitation over Angola and western Zambia.  Rainfall improved in southern Madagascar, but the north remained drier than normal. **

## Rainfall Patterns: Last 5 Days

**During the past 5 days, moisture deficits continued in Madagascar after Tropical Cyclone Elnus brought needed relief.  Northeastern continental southern Africa continued to receive above average rainfall, while heavy rains further eased in southwestern Angola.**

## Recent Evolution: Rainfall

**Recent Evolution: Rainfall**

**	****Over the past 30days, most areas in southern Africa received more than twice the average rainfall amount for the period.  However, recently, rainfall abated over Angola, while below average rains returned to southern Madagascar.   **

## Summary

**Rainfall continued to be above average across northeastern continental southern Africa.  Recent light rains brought relief to southwestern Africa.  Light rains sustained moisture deficits over southern Madagascar. **
**The moisture surpluses in southern Africa are partially associated with the cold ENSO episode. **

## Making a Compass

**There are many different kinds of compasses, but they all work the same way.**

## Our earth is a giant magnet with  invisible lines of force called magnetic fields surrounding the planet.These invisible lines run North to South.  

- Any magnetized needle will try to find these lines!

## Step 1: Magnetize the T shaped needle.

- Rub the point of the needle 50 times on the magnet.
- Rub the back or flat side of the needle 25 times on the magnet.
- Make sure the needle is magnetized by seeing if it can pick up a staple.
- Step 2: Stick the needle through the styrofoam disk so the flat side is against the disk. It should look like this:

## Step 3: Mark the 4 Cardinal Points or Directions - North; South; East and West on the paper bowl.  It should look like this:

## Step 4: Fill the bowl with water.

- Step 5: Place the needle and disk in the center of the bowl and observe what happens.
- Step 6: Carefully rotate the bowl until the point on the needle is pointing towards N for North.
- You now have a compass!

## If the top of your chart is North, where are the other 3 cardinal points or directions: South; East; and West?

- Find Uphams Corner on the chart. It is on the far left hand side, about in the middle.  The Winthrop School is not far from Uphams Corner.  When we went to Thomson Island, we left from Columbia Point, which is also near Uphams Corner.
- What direction is downtown Boston from Uphams Corner?
- What direction is the Boston Harbor from Uphams Corner?

_**Finding Directions on your Boston Harbor Chart**_

- Find Thompson Island.  Now find Deer Island, near the top of the chart. What direction or combination of directions would you go to get from Thompson to Deer?
- Find Georges Island, which may be our destination in the spring.  If we are on Georges, what direction must we go to get back to Columbia Point?

- HALOE
- SAGE-2
- SAGE-3

## Conclusions

- Between 0.46 and 146 mb, the MLS ozone agree with correlative measurements within 10%
- At 215 mb, the MLS ozone values are higher by ~20% at mid-latitudes and ~70% in the tropics.
- There seems to be altitude dependent structure in MLS ozone biases. Could this result from altitude registration problem?
- The mean bias in MLS stratospheric column ozone (above 215 mb in mid-latitudes and 100 mb in the tropics) is less than 2-3 DU.

## FDA Open Meeting on Part 11: Electronic Records & Signatures

**June 11 , 2004 **
**AdvaMed Presentation**
**Bob Kanaley**
**Bernie Liebler**

## Unsuccessful Rule

- The regulation has not succeeded
- One size does not fit all
- 2000 - Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN)
- Electronic records are not optional
- No consistent enforcement approach

**Notes:**
Most related to Product Approval
FDA has begun to include consensus standards formally in its product approval system 

## Alternatives

- Withdraw Part 11
- Modify Part 11 to Codify the Approach in the 2003 Scope Guidance

## Withdraw Part 11

- For Medical Devices, the Quality System Regulation provides adequate controls
- The revisions to the CDER and CBER cGMPs should include appropriate controls to accommodate electronic records

## Quality System Regulation

- Subpart D - Document Controls
- Subpart M – Records
- Mfr. designs system to meet FDA expectations
- Based on risk assessment
- Product class
- Company needs (e.g., size)

## Revise Regulation

- Very limited regulation - “least burdensome” approach
- Limit Scope per 2003 Guidance
- All compliance based on risk
- Delete Legacy Concept as unnecessary
- Remove open/closed system distinction
- Define “predicate rule”
- No new requirements

## Conclusion

- Medical Device Industry is committed to the Quality System Regulation
- QSR compliance obviates the need 	for Part 11
- Withdraw Part 11 with respect to the Medical Device Industry

***PI: Joseph King,  Co-I: Natalia Papitashvili***

## Creation of High Resolution OMNI and Other Merged ACE, Wind and IMP 8 Data Sets, and Solar Wind Cross Correlations     (continue)

-  Background:  Objective is to create 1-min resolution ACE, Wind and IMP 8 solar wind magnetic field and plasma data sets time-shifted to the bow shock nose for 1994-current, and then to create 1-min OMNI data set by cross normalizing and merging these.

-  Also, to assess predictability of solar wind variations at the bow shock nose from   upstream observations, as a function of upstream spacecraft location and the variability level of the solar wind

- Shifting uses Weimer et al (2003) minimum variance determination of variation phase plane normals and concurrently observed plasma velocity vectors.

- Note high level of agreement for this day despite large "impact parameters"
- of 42 Re (IMP-Wind), 70 Re (IMP-ACE) and 110 Re (Wind-ACE)

## Biological Science to Working FRAMES 2.0 Model

- Workshop
- U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
- Rockville, Maryland
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
- November 15-17, 2005

## Biologically Based Modeling

## Lab-level Research and Development

- Question: Can the FRAMES integration method be compatible with modern System-Biology scientific knowledge?
- Simulation is common but not with tools like FORTRAN but with tools like MatLab, Mathematica, Maple, and SciLab.
- Why Scilab? Free for non-commercial use and as powerful as MatLab.

## The Model is from a Publication

**To connect to FRAMES we**
**need to either:**
**provide file that can be **
**     ****written by FRAMES, **
**2) have FRAMES write values to the script directly using tools like BPP, or **
**3) have a library set written for the specific tool to facilitate use in the environment (equivalent to a language specific interface).**
**For the purpose of this**
**	****demonstration we use #1.  We still need at least some Java code to make it work.  **

## Now the module can be used in tandem with an air source, and a lung deposition model from CIIT.  The output of the lung deposition is written to the input of cell model.

## Geodesy

- measuring the shape of the earth...

**Notes:**
Over a range of scales

## and measuring changes

**Notes:**
Elastic buckling

## Many applications

## From planetary physics

## to Earth structure

## to surface monitoring 

## What changes in the shape of the earth are associated with tsunamis?

## What causes tsunamis?

## What causes tsunamis?

- Fault slip caused the sea floor to deform (4-5 meters up, and 10-11 meters to the west)
- This pushed the water and formed the tsunami
- Model by Dr. Chen Ji at Caltech, funded by USGS external research program

## Before events

**Notes:**
bathymetry

## Before events

- Where the India plate is pushed down beneath the Banda micro-plate, it is being SUBDUCTED.
- Where the two plates’ surfaces are sliding past each other, it
- gets caught for hundreds of years and then the stored stress
- is released in a big earthquake.

**Notes:**
Plate motions

## Before events

**Notes:**
Distribution of elastic strain

## Before events

- Temporal variations do occur:
- Clustering (e.g., Basin & Range, ECSZ, Asia)
- Discrepant geological and geodetic rates
- Sequences involving fault interaction (e.g., Joshua Tree - Landers - Big Bear - Hector Mine; Anatolian system, etc.)
- Implement robust research findings into hazard assessment

- Represented in the schematic are
- pairs of Multi Chip Modules
- – MCM – housed in Analog Front
- End boards-AFE. The pairs are
- named AxMy-z where x is the AFE
- number, from 1 to 4, y and z are the
- MCM numbers, from 1 to 8.
- The inputs for the MCM are
- presented as vectors of bits from
- the FPD spectrometers. The inputs
- are named x n [ì j] where x is the
- spectrometer symbol, eg PU is
- proton side up, n is the station
- number, from 1 to 2, and the bit
- range corresponds to position
- detector ́s fibers.
- MCM input CALP[1-6] has PIN
- diodes signals from the Light

** ****CUMULATIVE & INDIRECT IMPACTS**
**FHWA 2006 ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE **

## a. 40 CFR ' 1508.7 Cumulative Impact:

** **

## THE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT WHICH RESULTS FROM THE INCREMENTAL IMPACT OF THE ACTION WHEN ADDED TO OTHER PAST, PRESENT, AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE FUTURE ACTIONS REGARDLESS OF WHAT AGENCY (FEDERAL OR NON-FEDERAL) OR PERSON UNDERTAKES SUCH OTHER ACTIONS.

## .              Kleppe v. Sierra Club, 427 U.S. 390 (1976).

- Pre-CEQ regs.
- b.        Coal permits and leasing program over 4 states.
- Court: Scope of EIS is only for **proposed** projects.
- Courts won=t substitute their judgment of that of the agency.
- .
- A   	Agency must take a **hard look** at environmental impacts.
- f. 	Standard of review is under the Administrative Procedures Act.  Is agencies finding arbitrary and capricious? Highly deferential standard of review. (Not Qs of Law).
- c.  	EIS must still look at the cumulative impacts of other projects.

## Fritiofson v. Alexander, 772 F2d. 1225 (5th Cir. 1985)

- a. COE permit for 475-unit development on 145-acre tract. Galveston Island, Texas.
- b. Lots of other past, present and future developments in this area.
- c. Sensitive area as suggested by NMFS and USF&W and concerned with cumulative impacts.
- d. COE AIn the absence of any study concerning Galveston Island, the cumulative effects of this and similar projects cannot be estimated with any degree of success.A

## C     Court required a 5-step cumulative-effects study:

**1.  Area where effects will be felt from project.**
**2.  Impacts that are expected from project.**
**3. Identify other past, present and reasonably foreseeable actions with similar impacts and this area.**
**4. What those impacts are.**
**5.  Overall impact if the individual impacts accumulate. **

## Legal Issues in Cumulative Impact Analysis:

- a.  How far in the future is still Areasonably foreseeable.@  How much certainty?
- b.  What is the geographic area that we look at? More than one?
- c.  What is the role of planning documents and zoning laws? Oregon v. Texas?
- d.  What if there is no baseline information on resources or past project impacts?
- e.  How far back in time do you go?
- f.   How do you figure out synergistic effect?

## Legal Issues in Cumulative Impact Analysis:

- Do we look at indirect impacts when we do our cumulative impact evaluation?
- What responsibility do we have to mitigate other’s impact?
- Lists of projects do not satisfy the test. Need to focus on the resource.
- Do we need to show a trend?

## AP-1 Line Obstruction

- After 11/17 beam accident that caused vacuum leak at TOR105, saw higher than usual losses nearby and higher emittance growth of pbars in region during shots
- Pbar emittances increased 7-8 (up from 3 ) between Acc and MI
- Opened AP-1 at SEM grid 103 on 12/3 – nothing seen, but SEM wire dangling at edge of aperture
- Wire removed, but problem was unresolved

## Plastic Cap in AP-1

- Thought to have been there many years...
- Hard to notice once hole was formed
- Red cap moved during vacuum incident in Nov.
- Beam no longer through hole  problem appears
- After removal, expect reduced pbar emittance growth between Accumulator and Main Injector
- Perhaps slightly smaller pbar emittances in Tev, too
- No earth-shattering improvements expected

- R. Moore - FNAL

- All Experimenters' Mtg - 27 Jan 03

## Tevatron Magnet Stand Replacements

- Replacing stands for dipoles A16-3, A21-2, A21-3, A21-4
- Stands appear very corroded – _safety issue_
- “Quick and dirty” mechanical measurements indicate significant dipole rolls; to be confirmed with optical survey
- These rolls make the dipole correctors run harder, but not a big problem currently
- At least one quad (not low-) rolled significantly?
- Will just replace stands now; fix alignment later
- Catalog all magnet stands, roll measurements now
- address stand replacement, alignment later
