Publication number: 20120114272Abstract: A system to carry a drawer may include a fixed-length rail to be fastened to a server rack. The system may also include a roller fastened to the fixed-length rail on one side of the roller so that the roller spins freely. The system may further include a channel carried by a drawer, and the channel is sized to permit the roller to traverse a portion of the channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2010Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kristina M.

Publication number: 20120034676Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel RNA picornavirus that is called Seneca Valley virus (“SVV”). The invention provides isolated SVV nucleic acids and proteins encoded by these nucleic acids. Further, the invention provides antibodies that are raised against the SVV proteins. Because SVV has the ability to selectively kill some types of tumors, the invention provides methods of using SVV and SVV polypeptides to treat cancer. Because SVV specifically targets certain tumors, the invention provides methods of using SVV nucleic acids and proteins to detect cancer. Additionally, due to the information provided by the tumor-specific mechanisms of SVV, the invention provides methods of making new oncolytic virus derivatives and of altering viruses to have tumor-specific tropisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2011Publication date: February 9, 2012Inventors: Paul L. HALLENBECK, Seshidar Reddy Police, Laura M. Hales, Carl M. Hay, Shanthi Ganesh, Ling Xu, Jingping Yang, Cheng Cheng

Patent number: 8080156Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to removal of mercury from crude oil. Such removal relies on transferring mercury from a liquid hydrocarbon stream to a natural gas stream upon contacting the liquid hydrocarbon stream with the natural gas stream. Processing of the natural gas stream after used to strip the mercury from the liquid hydrocarbon stream removes the mercury from the natural gas stream.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: ConocoPhillips CompanyInventors: Joseph B. Cross, Probjot Singh, Richard D. Sadok, Howard L. Wilson, John M. Hays

Publication number: 20100186641Abstract: A novel impact and blast resistant window is presented. A surface of a window pane that is adjacent to an interior of a building has a durable transparent polymer film coated or adhered thereto. The surface of a window pane that is adjacent to an interior of a building is sealed to the sash by double sided tape. The resulting window produces an unexpected ability for the durable transparent polymer film to retain pieces of broken glass driven toward the interior of the building by a missile striking an exterior of the window, without the durable transparent polymer film pulling loose from the window sash.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2010Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: THE MUHLER COMPANYInventors: Henry M.

Publication number: 20100000181Abstract: Briefly, therefore the present invention is directed to a novel method of making a double glazed impact resistant window. The method includes forming a window sash that delineates a mounting space for mounting a first pane and a second pane opposite and parallel to and spaced apart from each other and adhering or coating at least two layers of a durable transparent polymer film to a surface of the first pane such that the at least two layers are not adhered or coated in directions that are parallel to one another. The method further includes conforming the pane to the size and shape of the mounting space, mounting the first pane in the mounting space with the non-film covered surface of the pane directly adjacent the sash, conforming the second pane to the size and shape of the mounting space, wherein the second pane is free of the durable transparent polymer film, and mounting the second pane in the mounting space.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2008Publication date: January 7, 2010Applicant: Muhler Laminated Glass, Inc.Inventors: Craig B.
