Inventor: KLASSEN GERHARD DIETRICH
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2009-02-12
Abstract: A handheld electronic device, such as a GPS--enabled wireless communications device with an embedded camera, automatically geotags a set of data, such as a digital photo, video, notes, or a blog, with a textual plain-language description of the current location.  When the data is generated, the current location of the device is determined, e.g. using a GPS receiver. A  textual plain-language description of the current location is then generated, e.g. by reverse geocoding the GPS position coordinates or by correlating the current time with a calendar event from which language descriptive of the event can be extracted. This textual plain-language description is automatically generated and written into a tag or metadata file associated with the photo or other set of data. By automatically geotagging data with textual plain--language descriptions that go beyond mere coordinates of latitude and longitude, data can be searched and managed more efficiently.

Title: Location system with virtual touch screen
Inventor: BAR-TAL MEIR
IPC: A61B5/06
Filed: 2009-02-27
Abstract: Control of an invasive medical instrument during a medical procedure is achieved using a system that includes magnetic field-based location facilities. Mag-netic field sensors are placed in a medical instrument, e.g., a probe, and in an interface device to enable respective positions of the probe and the interface device to be ascer-tained by a location processor when the sensors are exposed to a magnetic field. The interface device is disposed such that an operator can control the medical instrument and the interface device concurrently. A display device, which can comprise a virtual reality display, is responsive to movements of the interface device as determined by the location processor to control the medical instrument, invoke various functions of the system, e.g., image manipulation, and otherwise facilitate the medical procedure via a graphical user interface.

Title: Stable recombinant yeasts for fermenting xylose to ethanol
Inventor: HO NANCY W Y
IPC: C12N1/19
Filed: 1997-05-06
Abstract: Described are recombinant yeast which ferment xylose to ethanol and which maintain their ability to do so when cultured for numerous generations in non-selective media. The preferred yeast contain multiple copies of integrated genes encoding xylose reductase, xylitol dehydrogenase, and xylulokinase fused to promoters which are non- glucose inhibited and which do not require xylose for induction. Also described are preferred methods for integrating multiple copies of exogenous DNA into host cells by transforming cells with replicative/integrative vectors, and then replicating the cells a number of times under selective pressure to promote retention of the vector in subsequent generations. The replicated vectors thus serve to integrate multiple copies of the exogenous DNA into the host cells throughout the replication/selection phase. Thereafter the selective pressure can be removed to promote loss of the vector in subsequent generations, leaving stable integrants of the exogenous DNA.

Title: Agricultural vehicle tire
Inventor: GANZ DAVID
IPC: B60C11/04
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: This invention provides a tire (312) for agricultural vehicles that emplo ys a tread design having a flattened contact surface across the width and a plurality of curved lugs (410, 420) that alternately extend from each sidewa ll (442, 452) to a location nearly adjacent to the opposing side wall (442, 452). Each lug (410, 420) curves so that a central section at the center of the tire width is located on the surface ahead on the circumference of adjoi ning sections of the lug that extend toward each of the opposing sidewalls. In this manner, each lug appears to have a curved "banana" shape that extend s across the width of the tire contact surface in a generally axial alignmen t. The grooves (470, 472) between lugs extend generally axially across the w idth, as a result. They are narrowed having a circumferential width that is between approximately 20% and 30% of the average circumferential width of a lug. This geometry places more lug surface in contact with the road for bett er handling and longer tread life and provides less groove space to retain m ud and detritus.
