  • Patent number: 8630970
    Abstract: Disclosed is a networked database-driven system for facilitating the generation by multiple users of reports containing frequently occurring, repetitive, or predictable elements, through the system making predictions or suggestions regarding elements to insert into or changes to make to a currently edited report in progress by one user, through the use of user-defined report elements and user-defined relations between those elements, as well as the system's drawing upon collected data regarding prior reports and report elements entered into the system by previous report authors and inclusion or exclusion decisions made by previous report authors regarding those elements in relation to other report elements.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8236525
    Abstract: A method of producing biological products using bacteria with an inactivated ptsHI and wild type err and no added glucose transport activity and which consumes nearly all glucose in the media is described. The ?ptsHI bacteria produce large quantities of recombinant protein without producing significant amounts of acetate. The bacteria grow well on standard LB broth without additional supplementation.
