  • Patent number: 8972925
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for tracking development and distribution of software applications. In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of: identifying a software application available from a software application distribution system; retrieving at least image data from an image file, which is associated with the software application, from the software application distribution system without retrieving the software application; detecting a watermark in the image data; and storing information associating the detected watermark with the software application distribution system from which the identified software application is available.

  • Patent number: 8140005
    Abstract: A modular satellite transceiver is provided according to some embodiments of the disclosure. The modular transceiver may include an RF module and a back end module. The RF module may operate in a first band, and may include, for example, one or more antennas, an RF front end module, an up converter, a down converter, an analog-to-digital converter, and a digital-to-analog converter. The back end module may include various digital processing components and/or modules. The RF module may be removably coupled with the back end module such that the RF module may be replaced with another RF module operating in a second band. During transmission the back end module may provide at least one digital signal to the RF module; and during reception the RF module provides at least one digital signal to the back end module.

  • Patent number: 7739053
    Abstract: Provided herein is a system and method for analyzing microarray data (transcriptome profiles), metabolite data (metabolome profiles), protein level data (proteome profiles), or any combination thereof to determine the biochemical pathways affected by a treatment. The system and method can be used to generate biochemical pathway information for any organism for which metabolic profile data can be obtained. The system and method may allow users to query the pathways generated and to filter the results of queries based on the -omic profile data, pathways involving molecules of interest, notions of biochemical importance, milestone molecules, and other factors. The system and method may also be suitable for discovery of regulatory sequences in genes.

  • Patent number: 7264718
    Abstract: A fluid filter system has a manifold having a fluid inlet with an inlet stop and a fluid outlet with an outlet stop and a cartridge seat. A cartridge is separable from the manifold and adapted to mount and dismount in the manifold. The cartridge has a filter housing containing a filter for filtering fluid, and an integral closure member having a first level and a second level. A radial inlet port is on a face of the first level of the closure member and an axial outlet port is on top of the second level of the closure member. A first boss on the closure member opens the inlet stop when the cartridge is mounted in the manifold. A second boss on the closure member is disposed to open the outlet stop when the cartridge is mounted in the manifold. The bosses engage the stops sequentially.
