Abstract: A system receives a search query from a user and searches a group of repositories, based on the search query, to identify, for each of the repositories, a set of search results. The system also identifies one of the repositories based on a likelihood that the user desires information from the identified repository and presents the set of search results associated with the identified repository.

Abstract: To facilitate text-to-speech conversion of a username, a first or last name of a user associated with the username may be retrieved, and a pronunciation of the username may be determined based at least in part on whether the name forms at least part of the username. To facilitate text-to-speech conversion of a domain name having a top level domain and at least one other level domain, a pronunciation for the top level domain may be determined based at least in part upon whether the top level domain is one of a predetermined set of top level domains. Each other level domain may be searched for one or more recognized words therewithin, and a pronunciation of the other level domain may be determined based at least in part on an outcome of the search. The username and domain name may form part of a network address such as an email address, URL or URI.

Abstract: A sensor comprising an electronic circuit electrically coupled to a type III-V semiconductor material, for example indium arsenide (InAs) and an antibody contacting the type III-V semiconductor material. The sensor produces measurable N changes in the electrical properties of the semiconductor upon antibody-antigen binding events. Electrical properties measurable by the electronic device may include resistivity, capacitance, impedance, and inductance. A method of detecting an antigen using sensors of the invention. A method of detecting a reaction of an analyte to a stimulus using sensors of the invention. Sensor arrays comprising multiple sensors of the invention.

Abstract: Amount of combined nitric oxide or nitric oxide present as iron nitrosyls in a blood sample is determined by directing a low power electromagnetic radiation beam at a blood sample to liberate nitric oxide gas, dissolving the liberated nitric oxide gas and electrochemically detecting amount of dissolved nitric oxide gas.

Abstract: A scope mount base design which readily accepts onto a preexisting rear sight base without any alteration of the sight base except for the easy removal of the original sight leaf and mainspring. This scope mount invention achieves solid lockup by the use of the appropriate sized threaded support fixtures and scope mount configuration to successfully engage these rear sight slots that originally contained the sight leaf and mainspring, and thus achieve strong lockup of the scope mount to the sight base.

Abstract: The present invention provides an automatic process counter that detects electrical signals from fasteners and attachments fastened to devices in a hard disk drive manufacturing line and uses the signals to increment the count of the fastens. Count signals are then transmitted to a plurality of display units for visual display to monitoring operators in the manufacturing line.

Abstract: Compound 5-(2-Methoxy-4-{[2-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-ethylamino]-methyl}-phenoxy)-pyrazine-2-carboxamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, useful for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

Abstract: The Invention is a music stand having a wind guard to prevent sheet music from being disturbed by the wind. A substantially transparent wind guard panel is attached generally normal to a base. A spring clamp attached to the base resiliently and releasably attaches the base to the music stand shelf. The spring clamp and base support the wind guard panel generally parallel to the music stand desk. The resilient attachment of the base to the shelf allows a musician to tilt the base and wind guard panel to allow access to sheet music on the music stand desk.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and process for preparing fine-celled polyurethane foam obtained from frothing a polyurethane foam-forming composition possessing a synergistic combination of silicone surfactants.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lyophilized rapidly disintegrating solid dosage form, one embodiment of which comprises a thrombin receptor antagonist such as, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, a polymer such as gelatin, and a matrix forming agent such as mannitol. Systems for effectively buffering the pre-lyophilized suspension are taught, along with methods of treating patients at risk for acute coronary syndrome by administering such a rapidly disintegrating solid dosage form.
