  • Publication number: 20160132472
    Abstract: A system and a method for constantly improving process efficiency and consistency are disclosed herein. A preferred embodiment of the system comprises a database, a user interface, a change tracking module, and a feedback module. The database stores one or more electronic assets. The user interface allows a user to select an electronic asset as a template and automatically create a work product based on the template. The change tracking module monitors the use of the selected electronic asset with one or more describing properties such as the changes made to the working product and time used for finalizing the work product. Then, the feedback module may analyze the one or more describing properties and provide a feedback as to how to improve the selected electronic asset.

  • Patent number: 7604950
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for determining the pregnancy status of a cow by detecting a pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) level that comprises proteins present in an acidic protein fraction of day 55 to day 60 bovine placental tissue. These methods may involve using novel polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies that have been generated using the acidic protein fraction as an immunogen. According to the method, the cow is pregnant when the PAG level is present at an elevated level in a sample obtained from the cow. The invention provides accurate methods of detecting pregnancy at early stages and has the benefit of allowing early post partum detection of pregnancy status with few false positive results. The antibodies for detecting the PAG level will also be useful in combination with detecting elevated progesterone levels, thus providing an even more effective pregnancy detection method.

  • Publication number: 20080003695
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for determining the pregnancy status of an ungulate animal by detecting the level of PAG-55 protein fraction. These methods may involve the detection of PAG-55 enriched proteins in the PAG-55 protein fraction by using novel polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies that have been generated using the PAG-55 enriched protein fraction as an immulogen. The novel PAG-55 protein fraction indicates that the animal is pregnant when the acidic PAG-55 protein fraction, or antigenic components thereof, are present at an elevated level in a sample. The present invention also provides for methods of obtaining the PAG-55 enriched protein fraction. The invention provides accurate methods of detecting pregnancy at early stages and has the benefit of allowing early post partum detection of the pregnancy status with few1 false positive results.
