  • METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR FORMING LAMINATED GLASS ARTICLES
    Publication number: 20180319695
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of forming a laminated glass ribbon may include flowing a molten glass core composition and a molten glass cladding composition in a vertically downward direction. The molten glass core composition may be contacted with the molten glass cladding composition to form the laminated glass ribbon comprising a glass core layer formed from the molten glass core composition and a glass cladding layer formed from the molten glass cladding composition. Core beads located proximate an edge of the glass core layer and clad beads located proximate an edge of the glass cladding layer may be compressed while the glass core layer and the glass cladding layers have viscosities greater than or equal to the viscosity at their softening points as the laminated glass ribbon is drawn in the vertically downward direction.

  • CO-DETECTION AND ASSOCIATION OF MULTIPLE GENES FROM THE SAME GENOME IN A SAMPLE
    Publication number: 20180010170
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with PCR-based detection methods and kits for the identification, differentiation, and quantification of different bacterial strains (e.g., Gram-negative bacterial strains), and also association of two or more PCR-positive genes to a single genome. The methods generally comprise carrying out PCR reactions using at least a first PCR primer set and/or probe for at least one target nucleic acid; and a second PCR primer set and/or probe for at least a second target nucleic acid. Positive PCR reaction products are then detected to determine test samples containing positive PCR reaction products for both the first and second target nucleic acids. This information can be used to calculate the gene association rate to determine whether the sample contains, for example, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli of the O-type serogroup.

  • Blocking objectionable content in service provider storage systems
    Patent number: 9600582
    Abstract: When objects are shared by one user with another user, objectionable content, if identified as such, can be blocked from being shared, while the remainder of the shared objects can be accessed by the other user. Functions that allow sharing of content are implemented so as prevent sharing of objectionable content with another user, while allowing other content to be shared. If a group of files or objects is shared, then the presence of objectionable content in one object in the group results in that objectionable content not being shared, but the remaining files or objects are still shared. A graphical user interface for accessing the storage system, whether by providers or recipients of shared content, can selectively render information about objects with objectionable content.

  • Method and apparatus for directional acoustic fitting of hearing aids
    Patent number: 9491559
    Abstract: A method of acoustically fitting a hearing aid comprises providing a plurality of audible tones, each having a predetermined frequency through stereo headphones. The tones are provided at specific sound pressure in each ear. The patient changes the relative sound pressure in each ear until a perceived direction of source of the tone is in front of the patient. The amplification or attenuation requirements of a hearing aid are modified based on the difference in the sound pressures required for the left and right ears of the patient for perceived directional sameness for each frequency band-pass channel.
