Inventor: AEBISCHER IWAN
IPC: G01N33/558
Filed: 2007-12-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining one or more cellularly bound analytes in a liquid sample, said method being carried out using a device comprising: at least one feeding zone (5) for applying the liquid sample; a porous membrane (2) that is suitable for letting cellular components penetrate therethrough and includes at least one indicator zone on the membrane, said indicator zone being able to interact with the cellularly bound analyte and containing at least one binding element against the cellularly bound analyte; and at least one absorption area (3) on the membrane, which absorbs the liquid after the liquid has passed the indicator zones. The at least one indicator zone lies between the feeding zone (5) and the absorption area (3). The method is carried out for concentrating and quantifying the minor cell population in heterogeneous cell populations, for example in cases of fetomaternal hemorrhage or in chimera, detecting an analyte provided at a low concentration on cells, determining the hematocrit value, and/or determining, in parallel, cellularly bound analytes in mixed-field reactions.

IPC: F03D11/00
Filed: 2010-01-21
Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the condition of a gear assembly analyzes a signal output by a vibration detector that is attached to the gear assembly.  Each time that an amplitude of the signal output from the vibration detector exceeds a threshold value, the system assumes that a debris particle has passed between meshing parts of the gear assembly. The number of times that this occurs, and possibly the amplitude of the vibrations are analyzed to determine a condition of the gear assembly, and possibly a damage index. This system and method are particularly applicable to planetary gear arrangements where the vibration detector can be mounted on a fixed ring gear of the gear assembly, or a structure upon which the fixed ring gear is mounted.

Abstract: Ontology alignment is achieved using an exchange of annotations between different actors (users, software agent, application, etc.) over the Internet in order to create aligned ontologies that can be used by search engines to locate web content in the Semantic Web. An annotation related to a source ontology is received from a different storage medium. The ontology associated with that annotation is retrieved in order to make a local copy. The copied ontology is renamed before its content can be modified through a user interface. Every element modified inside the copied ontology is then automatically tagged with information in that links the modified element to the corresponding element in the source ontology. Alignment between the copied ontology and the source ontology is thereby achieved.

Title: Social advertisements and other informational messages on a social networking website
Inventor: KENDALL TIMOTHY A
IPC: H04W4/21
Filed: 2008-10-22
Abstract: A social networking website logs information about actions taken by members of the website. For a particular member of the website, the website generates socially relevant ads for the member based on the actions logged for other members on the website to whom the member is connected (i.e., the member's online friends). The advertiser associated with the social ad may compensate the social networking website for publishing the ad on the website. When presenting a member with a social ad, the website may optimize advertising revenue by selecting an ad from the received ads that will maximize the expected value of the social ad. The expected value may be computed according to a function that includes the member's affinity for the ad content and the bid amount. The technique is also applied for providing socially relevant information off the social networking website.

Title: Method and device for transmitting groupcast data in a wireless mesh communication network
Inventor: BARKER CHARLES R
IPC: H04W12/04
Filed: 2008-12-16
Abstract: A method for transmitting groupcast data in a wireless mesh communication network as provided improves security of groupcast data. The method comprises processing, at a supplicant node, authentication handshake data received from an authenticator node, wherein the supplicant node is a next-hop neighbor of the authenticator node away from a root node. The supplicant node then stores a group transient key (GTK) received from the authenticator node. Next, the supplicant node processes authentication handshake data received from a third node, wherein the third node is a next-hop neighbor of the supplicant node away from the root node. The GTK is then transmitted from the supplicant node to the third node. Encrypted groupcast data are then generated at the supplicant node by using the GTK to encrypt groupcast data received from the authenticator node. Finally, the encrypted groupcast data are transmitted from the supplicant node to the third node.
