Abstract: A turbine nozzle (26) includes an array of turbine vanes (28) between inner and outer bands (30, 32). Each vane (28) includes opposed pressure and suction sides extending between opposed leading and trailing edges. The vanes (28) define a plurality of flow passages each of which is bounded between the inner band (30), the outer band (32), and adjacent first and second vanes (28). A surface of the inner band (30) in each of the passages is contoured in a non-axisymmetric shape including a peak (46) of relatively higher radial height adjoining the pressure side of the first vane (28) adjacent its leading edge, and a trough (48) of relatively lower radial height is disposed parallel to and spaced-away from the suction side of the second vane (28) aft of its leading edge. The peak (46) and trough (48) define cooperatively define an arcuate channel extending axially along the inner band (30) between the first and second vanes (28).

Title: Statistical validation of candidate genes
Inventor: KISHORE VENKATA KRISHNA
IPC: G16B40/00
Filed: 2009-12-04
Abstract: Provided herein are methods for evaluating associations be-tween candidate markers and a trait of interest in a plant population. In var-ious embodiments, the plant population is a breeding population, particu-larly early stage breeding populations. The methods include obtaining a genotypic value for candidate markers and correlating the marker with the trait. Various association models can be used to evaluate the association, and include statistical methods relevant to the structure of plant breeding populations. Population structure may be accounted for in the association models by using Principle Component Analysis. Further provided is a nov-el statistical approach for association mapping in early stage breeding ma-terials using a transmission disequilibrium based methodology. Markers identified using the methods of the invention can be used in marker assist-ed breeding and selection, for constructing genetic linkage maps, to identi-fy genes contributing to a trait of interest, and for generating transgenic plants having a desired trait.

Abstract: An electro-thermal heating system comprising a substantially hollow housing having detachable upper and lower plates for covering and sealing top and bottom surfaces of the housing. The housing has an inlet and an outlet for a flow of coolant to enter into and leave the housing, and has openings defined therein, for insertion of electric heating elements therein to project into the housing and be in direct contact with the coolant to heat it. The inlet and the outlet can be interconnected with piping to form a closed fluid flow circuit. The housing is substantially circular, to circulate flow of the coolant in a circular manner within the housing, and a diameter of the inlet is greater than a diameter of the outlet, to keep coolant in the housing longer to heat it. A pump and a power source can be interconnected to the system to circulate the coolant in the closed fluid flow circuit.

Abstract: A multi-layer ball includes a core made of a high energy material such as a highly neutralized polymer and a cover made of a deadening material. A specified relationship exists between the compression and coefficient of restitution of the core and of the ball. The initial velocity of the ball is higher than what would be expected based on the coefficient of restitution of the ball compared to prior balls. The use of the deadening material allows the coefficient of restitution of the ball to be relatively low, which can yield improved spinnability in the half wedge shots while maintaining driver distance.

IPC: A61F5/01

Abstract: Knee-Ankle-Foot-Orthoses (KAFO) braces assist patients with limited lower extremity function to stand by holding the knee extended and the ankle neutral. Although the brace aids users in maintaining a standing posture; rising from a chair, while wearing a KAFO, becomes a significant challenge as these movements require substantial upper body strength to hoist oneself from seated position. The sit-to-stand (STS) biomechanics of 10 healthy subjects were analyzed using motion capture analysis and inverse dynamics. The results of this analysis were utilized in the design and manufacturing of an assistive STS KAFO prototype. The current prototype mechanically generates a knee extensor moment and allows for a flexed knee during STS.  Therefore, the prototype will allow for reduced upper body demand to be placed on the patient.  Kinematic calculations suggest the current prototype has the potential to successfully assist a 90 kg KAFO user. The ability for the assistive device to meet the torque demands of KAFO  dependent users will be investigated further in future clinic-based testing.  Furthermore, reducing size and weight will become a priority in future prototypes. However, based on the results to date it can be soundly predicted that the KAFO devices proposed here may be utilized by a wide spectrum of users.
