Abstract: A method for evaluating a quality of a seismic inversion. The method includes performing a first match between seismic data and borehole seismic data at one or more borehole locations to generate an estimate of a wavelet in the seismic data. The method then performs a seismic inversion on the seismic data using the estimate of the wavelet to generate inverted seismic data. After performing the seismic inversion, the method converts the inverted seismic data into one or more reflectivity traces. The method then includes performing a second match between the one or more reflectivity traces and one or more traces in the seismic data and performing a third match between the one or more reflectivity traces and one or more traces in the borehole seismic data. After performing the second and third matches, the method determines the quality of the seismic inversion based on the first match, the second match, the third match or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Antigen binding proteins that bind ?-amyloid peptide, in particular human ?-amyloid peptide; methods of treating diseases or disorders characterized by elevated ?-amyloid levels or ?-amyloid deposits, particularly Alzheimer's disease and diseases or disorders affecting the eye or optic nerve characterized by elevated ?-amyloid levels or ?-amyloid deposits, including age related macular degeneration and glaucoma type diseases and ?-amyloid dependent cataract formation, with the antigen binding proteins; pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antigen binding proteins; and methods of manufacture.

Abstract: A method of optimizing the calculation of matching scores between phone states and acoustic frames across a matrix of an expected progression of phone states aligned with an observed progression of acoustic frames within an utterance is provided. The matrix has a plurality of cells associated with a characteristic acoustic frame and a characteristic phone state. A first set and second set of cells that meet a threshold probability of matching a first phone state or a second phone state, respectively, are determined. The phone states are stored on a local cache of a first core and a second core, respectively. The first and second sets of cells are also provided to the first core and second core, respectively. Further, matching scores of each characteristic state and characteristic observation of each cell of the first set of cells and of the second set of cells are calculated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating diseases or disorders affecting the eye or optic nerve characterized by elevated ?-amyloid levels or ?-amyloid deposits, particularly age related macular degeneration and glaucoma type diseases and ?-amyloid dependent cataract formation, with antigen binding proteins that bind ?-amyloid peptide and in particular human ?-amyloid peptide.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling infrared radiation (IR) sources of a sauna including tuning IR wavelength-ranges and radiated power-levels of IR sources, and directing IR to locations on a user's body. In one illustrative embodiment, a sauna may be provided having adjustable heat sources to emit IR at any wavelength resulting in a desirable radiation treatment for the sauna user. In another illustrative embodiment, a method is provided for tuning IR sources in a sauna.

Abstract: A process for increasing the hydrogen content of a synthesis gas including hydrogen and carbon oxides and having a carbon monoxide content?45 mole % on a dry-gas basis, including the steps of: (i) combining the synthesis gas with steam to form a steam-enriched feed gas mixture (ii) passing the feed gas mixture at an inlet temperature in the range 220-370° C. over an iron-based water-gas shift catalyst to form a hydrogen-enriched shifted gas mixture having a carbon monoxide content?10 mole % on a dry gas basis, and (iii) recovering the hydrogen-enriched shifted gas mixture, where a portion of the hydrogen-enriched shifted gas mixture is recycled to the feed gas mixture.

Abstract: A method of providing back-pain relief by performing in any sequence a group consisting of eight discrete movements further defined as Knee Pull, Knee Side Push Out, Single Frog leg, Double Frog Legs, Chrysalis, Seated Jack Knife, Bio Crunch, and Seated Hold & Release where the first four listed movements have starting positions of laying supine with knees bent and feet flat on the floor approximately one foot form buttocks. The fifth movement starts by keeping the bottom of feet together with knees bent and slightly down while holding the toes. The sixth movement starts by putting feet and ankles together with knees straight and locked while in a sitting position. The seventh movement starts by laying flat on the floor with arms bent and fingers touching ears. The eighth movement starts in a seated position and holding on to a chair underneath the seat while keeping the back straight.
