  • Publication number: 20160230947
    Abstract: A light fixture housing and a hook for mounting the light fixture, sidewalls of the housing comprising first and second apertures, the hook comprising a first end part extending at a first angle relative to a main body and a second side part extending at a second angle relative to the main body; the hook being inserted into the housing from the inside by inserting the first end part through one first aperture and the second end part within one second aperture, the second aperture being separated from the first aperture by the length of the main body, a free end of the first end part bearing on the rear surface of the opening and a free end of the second end part bearing against an inner surface of the sidewalls within the housing

  • Patent number: 9244987
    Abstract: A method and system for archiving data is provided. The method includes an extraction stage, a load stage, and a production merge stage. In the extraction stage, incoming files from a source system are extracted, where each incoming file has data records. Upon determining that the incoming files are of different data record types, the incoming files are split by record type. The files are also parsed. In a load stage, all files from a load ready directory are placed together in a single batch with a common RUNID for each data record type. In a production merge stage, all files made available from the load stage are processed. The processed files are loaded into a data warehouse. Each stage operates independently of any other stage. Each stage is also iterative and circular.

  • Publication number: 20120034192
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods of use to enhance reprogramming of mammalian cells. Certain compositions and methods of the invention are of use to enhance generation of induced pluripotent stem cells by reprogramming somatic cells. Certain compositions and methods of the invention are of use to enhance reprogramming of pluripotent mammalian cells to a differentiated cell type. Certain compositions and methods of the invention are of use to enhance reprogramming of differentiated mammalian cells of a first cell type to differentiated mammalian cells of a second differentiated cell type. The reprogrammed somatic cells are useful for a number of purposes, including treating or preventing a medical condition in an individual. The invention further provides methods for identifying an agent that enhances or contributes to reprogramming mammalian cells. Certain of the inventive compositions and methods relate to inhibiting histone methylation.

  • Patent number: 5465152
    Abstract: A method for determining coplanarity with 3-D sensing means of substrates for ball grid array, column grid array, and similar surface mount integrated circuit chips, in which opaque fiducials are provided as index pads. Heights of the index pads are correlated with signal pad heights in a neighborhood about the index pads. The index pads are opaque to incident radiation from the 3-D sensor. The index pads reflect sufficient radiation to be detected easily by the 3-D sensor. The index pads are disposed in a prearranged pattern over a domain of ball grid array signal pads. The index pads are restricted to a predetermined range of heights.
