Title: Method and system for modeling light
Inventor: FANCHER JAMES ARTHUR
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2006-11-20
Abstract: A method and system for modeling light in time and space are provided. The method and system of the present disclosure collect light readings, e.g., on a motion picture set, at different positions and times (302, 304, 306) to build a light model to be used for visual effects (VFX) compositing (308). The light model represents the light distribution across space and/or time for a predetermined physical space. Using the light model, the lighting can then be predicted or interpolated at intermediate or other positions and/or times for which no specific light readings were obtained (314). The light models can be used for rendering objects (e.g., natural or CG elements) in a scene as if they were in that space.

Title: Downloading upon the occurrence of predetermined events
Inventor: LEMAY STEPHEN G
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2007-10-30
Abstract: Some aspects of the present invention provide for the downloading of code, including but not limited to peripheral device code, upon the occurrence of predetermined events, sometimes referred to herein as "triggers." For example, exceeding a predetermined number of errors within a predetermined time may comprise a trigger. Some implementations provide new peripheral device code each time a gaming machine initializes. Some embodiments provide peripheral devices with relatively small (or no) non-volatile memory. A smaller non-volatile memory (as compared to prior art peripheral devices of the same type) may be possible because it is not necessary-and may not be desirable--to retain peripheral device code in non-volatile memory.

Title: Improved antibody profiling sensitivity through increased reporter antibody layering
Inventor: APEL WILLIAM A
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2008-02-14
Abstract: A method is disclosed for analyzing a biological sample by antibody profiling for identifying forensic samples or for detecting the presence of an analyte. In an embodiment of the invention, the analyte is a drug, such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, methyltestosterone, or mesterolone. The method comprises attaching antigens to the surface of a solid support in a preselected pattern to form an array wherein the locations of the antigens are known; contacting the array with the biological sample such that a portion of antibodies in the sample reacts with and binds to antigens in the array to form immune complexes; washing away antibodies that do form immune complexes; and detecting the immune complexes, to form an antibody profile. Forensic samples are identified by comparing a sample from an unknown source with a sample from a known source. Further, an assay, such as a test for illegal drug use, can be coupled to a test for identity such that the results of the assay can be positively correlated to the subject's identity.

Inventor: HUBER JOHN ANDREW
IPC: C02F1/50
Filed: 2010-07-06
Abstract: In the treatment of water, both potable water and wastewater, many processes rely on a disinfection stage. That stage is generally at the tail end of the process and is meant to kill pathogens prior to release of water from the treatment system.   Chemical disinfection is a widely used technique. Two of the most popular chemical approaches are the use of Chlorine and Ozone. Both of these widely used chemical agents have issues with toxicity to humans during the disinfection process, potential to create secondary chemical compounds that can create enduring environmental concerns, and chemical degradation of equipment.  Many chemical disinfectants are very effective at killing a broad spectrum of biological pathogens but are generally toxic, corrosive, staining or discolouring, and environmentally unfriendly, and as a result need post application follow through such as rinsing off exposed surfaces or neutralization with water or other chemicals.
