Title: Supporting multiple attention-based, user-interaction modes
Inventor: NARASIMHAN NITYA
IPC: H04N21/442
Filed: 2012-11-16
Abstract: The present invention monitors a user's activities to determine how much attention he is paying to one or more devices. Based on the information gathered (300, 302) about the user's current "attention profile," a "user-interaction parameter" is set (304) that reflects where the user's attention is focused and, ideally, how much of his attention is given to each device. Then, based on the user-interaction parameter, the user interface of at least one of the user's devices is configured (306) to optimize the user's interactions, given the amount of attention he is currently giving to this user interface. If the user is giving the majority of his attention to the television (114), for example, then the user interface of a companion device (108, 116) can be configured to emphasize the types of interactions available to a user who is not actively watching the companion device (108, 116).

Title: Helical tube egr cooler
Inventor: NEAL KENNIETH
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 2013-04-18
Abstract: A heat exchanger (10) for transferring heat between two fluids consists of a shell (28) surrounding at least two tube bundles (34, 50, 60) attached at both ends to a tube header (16). Each of the tube bundles (34, 50, 60) is constructed from a plurality of individual tubes that are twisted into identical helixes formed about a common helical axis. Because each individual tube is formed in the shape of a helix, rather than as a straight tube, thermal elongation of the individual tubes results in a considerably reduced axial force on the tube attachments and tube header (16). Use of multiple tube bundles (34, 50, 60) wound with opposite twist direction improves spacing efficiency between tubes.

Abstract: As described herein, a robust generalizable method to accurately and sensitively quantitate proteins in tissues and fluids from human patients in a direct manner, not reliant on antibody reagents has been developed. This provides new and robust methods that are useful as biochemical outcome measures in human clinical trials. The methods where mouse tissues fully labeled with stable isotopes are mixed with the human tissue of interest, and the mixture subjected to high throughput proteomics methods are provided. The method detects multiple protein peptides showing 100% conservation between human and mouse, and establishes test and control proteins for quantitation of surrogate biomarkers. This assay method provides a high degree of reliability and sensitivity, as well as generalizability, compared to more traditional antibody-based assays. The specific peptide pairs and methods of quantitation are also described. In an additional embodiment, labeled standards may be derived from labeled human cell culture, such as a myotube culture.
