Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for displaying text on a communications device. One method controls a display using a Subscriber Identity Module application. The Subscriber Identity Module application specifies a duration for which text is displayed on the communications device. The duration specifies a time for which the text is displayed before clearing the text or until a user clears the text. The duration is defined by any attribute in the Subscriber Identity Module application. The attribute may comprise any command or data object, however, the attribute preferably comprises a “duration” data object for a DISPLAY TEXT command in the Subscriber Identity Module application.

Abstract: A method for interfacing with a virtual environment provided by an operation module is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a participant computer terminal to permit a participant to interface with the virtual environment by way of a participant avatar; providing an agent computer terminal to permit an agent to interface with the virtual environment by way of an agent avatar; and providing an avatar navigation selection module that permits said participant to have an option of selecting one of a plurality of virtual environment avatar navigation modes including an independent, self control mode, a surrender-to-agent control mode, and a partial surrender-to-agent control mode.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Landscape Shrub Rose Plant is provided that abundantly and substantially continuously forms attractive bright pink double blossoms. Such blossom coloration can be distinguished from the bright red coloration of the parental ‘Radtko’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,202). A round and bushy growth habit is displayed. The ornamental green foliage displays a satiny finish and contrasts nicely with the blossom coloration. Excellent resistance to blackspot as well as very good winter hardiness have been observed.

Abstract: Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, kits and methods are provided for use with histone deacetylases (HDACs) that comprise a compound selected from the group consisting of: wherein the variables are as defined herein.

Abstract: A method for producing immortalized antibody-secreting cells, comprising: (a) providing a transgenic animal having antibody-secreting cells capable of expressing one or more transgenes, wherein the antibody-secreting cells are in a non-immortalized state in the absence of a stimulus and are capable of changing to an immortalized state by means of the transgenes or transgenes upon exposure of the cells to the stimulus; (b) extracting the antibody-secreting cells from the animal; and (c) exposing the antibody-secreting cells to the stimulus, thereby immortalizing the antibody secreting cells by means of the transgene or transgenes.

Abstract: Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, kits and methods are provided for use with kinases that comprise a compound selected from the group consisting of: wherein the variables are as defined herein.

Abstract: A method and system for transmitting information between a transmitter and a receiver that has capabilities through a communication link that has transmission characteristics. The information to be transmitted is received. The capabilities of the client are then determined. The transmission characteristics of the communication link are also determined. The received information is then converted into a format that is based on the capabilities of the client, the transmission characteristics of the communication link, or both the capabilities of the client and the transmission characteristics of the communication link. The information is then transmitted to the client in the format.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to application personalization and provide a method, system and computer program product for application and computing environment personalization utilizing a distributed personalization data registry. In an embodiment of the invention, a personalization data processing system can include a service registry module client configured for disposition in a computing environment, a service registry module disposed remotely from the computing environment, and a personalization service coupled to the service registry module and enabled to process requests for personalization data from the service registry module client for a specified user within the computing environment.

Abstract: An improved pet treat dispenser assembly is provided with a canister for holding pet treats, a dispenser slidably mounted in the canister for dispensing treats, and a clicker on the canister to attract a pet's attention following desired behavior. The canister includes an upper housing, a lower base, and an internal treat tray. The housing can be removed from the base and tray for filling with treats, and can be used as a scoop so as to load the housing with treats.

Abstract: Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, kits and methods are provided for use with HDAC that comprise a compound selected from the group consisting of: wherein the variables are as defined herein.

Abstract: A lubricating composition comprising an oil of lubricating viscosity, 1 to 1000 parts per million by weight of titanium in the form of an oil-soluble titanium-containing material, and at least one additional lubricant additive provides beneficial effects on properties such as deposit control, oxidation, and filterability in engine oils.

Abstract: A lubricant and concentrate composition comprises a hindered-phenol-containing diester antioxidant derived from a hydrocarbyl diol or an amide diol. A method for improving the performance of a lubricant composition, especially a lubricant composition for an internal combustion engine, comprises the antioxidant.

Abstract: Compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, kits and methods are provided for use with histone deacetylases (HDACs) that comprise a compound of the formulae: wherein the variables are as defined herein.

Abstract: Formulations using tartaric compounds of the present invention in a low sulfur, low ash and low phosphorous lubricant lower wear, and friction and improves fuel economy.

Abstract: The present invention related to a novel continuous process for the manufacture of hindered, ester-substituted phenols using 2,6-dialkylphenol a basic catalyst and acrylate esters.

Abstract: Organo-Cobalt complexes having long chain saturated and unsaturated alkyl functionality as multifunctional additives in crankcase oils and the method of preparation thereof.

Abstract: A memory device equilibrates voltages in a bit line pair to a reduced voltage level. The reduced equilibrate voltage level can be achieved by separating the conventional equilibrate process so that the positive portion and the negative portion of the sense amplifier are equilibrated at different times. Bit line equilibration can be associated with either the equilibrate step associated with the positive portion of the sense amplifier or the equilibrate step associated with the negative portion of the sense amplifier.
