Abstract: A protein scaffold based on a consensus sequence of fibronectin type III (FN3) proteins, such as the tenth FN3 repeat from human fibronectin (human Tenascin), including isolated nucleic acids that encode a protein scaffold, vectors, host cells, and methods of making and using thereof have applications in diagnostic and/or therapeutic compositions, methods and devices. In particular, protein scaffold molecules binding to IgG have been identified as useful for diagnostic and/or therapeutic applications.

Abstract: For use with a top drive power unit supported for connection with a well string in a well bore to selectively impart longitudinal and/or rotational movement to the well string, a feeder for supplying a pumpable substance such as cement and the like from an external supply source to the interior of the well string in the well bore without first discharging it through the top drive power unit including a mandrel extending through a sleeve which is sealably and rotatably supported thereon for relative rotation between the sleeve and mandrel. The mandrel and sleeve have flow passages for communicating the pumpable substance from an external source to discharge through the sleeve and mandrel and into the interior of the well string below the top drive power unit. The unit can include a packing injection system, clamp, and novel packing configuration.

Abstract: Various systems, methods, and programs embodied in a computer readable medium for determining color separation are provided. In one representative embodiment, a method is provided that comprises specifying a number of nodes along a number of ramps in a predefined color conversion space in a computer system. A maximum possible toner deposit is associated with each of these nodes. In addition, a maximum toner limit is specified for each one of the nodes along the ramps in the computer system. Each of the maximum toner limits is less than the maximum possible toner deposit. In addition, a color separation is determined for each of the nodes along the ramps in the computer system. Each of the color separations specifies up to a maximum amount of toner equaling a corresponding one of the maximum toner limits.

Abstract: A method of defining a device color profile is described. The method may include (a) storing a first set of color descriptions, wherein each color description describes a color of a different printed test patch in a first target and includes: (i) a set of color component values defined in an overlapping color space, and (ii) at least one color component cross term; (b) obtaining a second set of color descriptions, wherein each color description in the second set describes a color of a different printed test patch in a second target and includes: (i) a set of color component values defined in the overlapping color space, and (ii) at least one color component cross term; and (c) using the stored first set of color descriptions and the second set of color descriptions to define a device color profile.

Abstract: In one embodiment, mapping color data from CMY to CMYK is performed in a manner which allows selection between creating better harmony between process-neutral and K-only neutral images when printed side-by-side, or creating better-looking images individually. In the course the mapping, adjustment is made over a degree to which BG (black generation) color coefficient generation is similar for process-neutral and K-only neutral images to produce BG coefficients. Similarly, adjustment is made over a degree to which UCR (under color removal) color coefficient generation is similar for process-neutral and K-only neutral images to produce UCR coefficients. Color data is them mapped, using the produced BG coefficients and the produced UCR coefficients.

Abstract: A variable focal length lens includes a plurality of layers of an electro-optic material and alternating stacked substantially transparent conductor layers and substantially transparent resistor layers. Each layer of electro-optic material is sandwiched between a separate conductor layer and a separate resistor layer. The focal length of the lens is varied by varying the voltage applied to the resistor layers.
