Abstract: A drive bay cover for reducing high frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions. The drive bay cover is for covering a bay of a computer system chassis by coupling to the computer system chassis. At least one edge of the drive bay cover is a serrated edge such that a gap between the serrated edge and a second edge is less than a wavelength of an EMI emission.

Abstract: A device connector module. The device connector module includes a device connection mechanism and a housing. The device connection mechanism includes a first port for coupling to an external device and a second port for coupling to a computer system. The housing encasing the device connection mechanism such that the first port and the second port are accessible and wherein the housing is for coupling the device connector module to a device connector module receptacle.

Abstract: A computer housing, removable light pipe device, and method for assembling a computer are disclosed. The computer housing has a drive door assembly and a light pipe. The light pipe is removably coupleable with the drive door assembly.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention pertain to apparatuses and methods are described. In one embodiment, a USB user interface is integrated with a card reader. The card reader is used for reading information from a card. A USB port is coupled with the USB user interface so that the USB user interface can communicate with the USB port.

Abstract: This disclosure is generally concerned with optical modules. In one example, an optical module provided that includes a pair of optical subassemblies, each of which includes a port housing within which a corresponding optical component is disposed. The optical module further includes a pair of electrically conductive elements configured to facilitate control of EMI. Each of the electrically conductive elements is disposed on a respective port housing such that a gap is present between the first and second electrically conductive elements and the first and second electrically conductive elements do not contact each other.

Abstract: Disclosed are nucleic acid primers, probes and standard target sequences that allow for the quantitative assessment of the SARS-CoV viral titer found in a biological specimen from a patient. Quantifying the viral titer in the patient sample allows the practitioner to make a prognostic determination of the severity of the SARS-CoV infection and the necessary treatment regime.

Abstract: An optical module has port housing comprised of a material that does not substantially shield EMI, such as an optical plastic. The port housings have a receiving ferrule disposed in an aperture of an electrically conductive shell. The ferrule is movably coupled to the shell to permit it to respond to loads imposed by an optical fiber connector and includes an electrically conductive cap to shield a portion of the port housing proximate the ferrule.

Abstract: Methods and kits are provided for diagnosing, monitoring, or predicting the conditions of pre-eclaimpsia, fetal chromosomal aneuploidy, and pre-term labor in a pregnant woman, as well as for detecting pregnancy in a woman, by quantitatively measuring in the maternal blood the amount of one or more mRNA species encoding human chorionic gonadotropin &bgr; subunit (hCG-&bgr;), human placental lactogen (hPL), human corticotropin releasing hormone (hCRH), KiSS-1 metastasis-suppressor (KISS1), tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TPFI2), placenta-specific 1 (PLAC1), or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and comparing the amount of the mRNA species with a standard control.

Abstract: This invention relates to the discovery that both non-particle and particle associated nucleic acids are present in blood plasma and serum and can be used to evaluate disease conditions.

Abstract: A method and tool for storing source-code cross referencing information is disclosed. The source-code cross referencing information is stored within a B-tree. Preferably only global cross-reference information is contained within the B-tree. Records within the B-tree contain information about occurrences of variables within the source code. Keyed records of data are preferably stored within leaves of a B-tree having nodes of fixed size, with multiple records of varying size potentially stored within each leaf node. Records within each leaf node are preferably indexed by indexes stored within the node. Such a B-tree may be stored within a file on a computer readable medium such as a disk. Techniques of splitting nodes in the tree are also disclosed. Further, various techniques of extracting information from a formed B-tree are disclosed.
