20140361778 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING SPONTANEOUS POTENTIAL OF AN EARTH FORMATION - An apparatus for measuring spontaneous potential (SP) of an earth formation includes a downhole tool that is moveable within a borehole by conveyance means. A portion of the conveyance means produces a reference DC potential signal. The tool includes a measurement electrode that produces a potential signal representative of SP of the earth formation. The tool also includes circuitry that measures a differential DC potential signal between the potential signal produced by the measurement electrode and the reference DC potential signal. SP data that characterizes SP of the earth formation is generated based upon the output of such circuitry. In one embodiment for a while-drilling tool, the conveyance means and tool are realized by a drill string with an insulative sleeve that supports the measurement electrode and electrically isolates the measurement electrode from the drill string. Other embodiments for while-drilling tools and tools for tough logging conditions are also described. | 12-11-2014 |

20090208528 | Empty capsids (vlps(-vp4)) of the infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv), obtainment process and applications - The empty capsids of the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), VLP(−VP4), are characterized in that they are constituted only by assembly of IBDV pVP2 proteins and IBDV VP3 proteins. Said capsids have immunogenic activity and can be used in the manufacture of vaccines for protecting animals from the infection caused by IBDV, as well as in the manufacture of gene therapy vectors. | 08-20-2009 |

20140375667 | VISUALIZATION INTERFACE FOR DETERMINING RISK - Examples of the disclosure are directed to generating visualizations that illustrate various measures of risk associated with a litagion® agent in the context of entire industries or specific to a single party that produces or uses the litagion® agent. A Quindrex™ visualization can illustrate catastrophic risk presented by a risk agent, such as a litagion® agent. For example, the risk agent may be a chemical such as bisphenol A (BPA) or benzene. The visualization can include a plurality of portions, each corresponding to a metric of catastrophic risk associated with the risk agent visualized. A dartboard visualization can illustrate catastrophic risk presented by risk agents produced or used by a party, such as a company. The visualization can include a plurality of portions, such as wedges in a dartboard, each corresponding to a risk agent produced or used by the party. | 12-25-2014 |

20150178628 | DETERMINING GENERAL CAUSATION - Examples of the disclosure are directed toward generating a causation score with respect to an agent and an outcome, and projecting a future causation score distribution. For example, a causation score may be determined with respect to a hypothesis that a given agent causes a given outcome, and the score may indicate the acceptance of that hypothesis in the scientific community, as described by scientific literature. A future causation score distribution, then, may indicate a probability distribution over possible future causation scores, thereby predicting the scientific acceptance of the hypothesis at some specific date in the future. A future causation score distribution can be projected by first generating one or more future publication datasets, and then determining causation scores for each of the one or more future publication datasets. | 06-25-2015 |

20120102051 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EMERGING LITIGATION RISK IDENTIFICATION - A computer-implemented method, by a computer having a computer processor, of identifying emerging risks of agents causing harms to a particular system comprises accessing, via a computer network, an electronic document database comprising document data; inputting a set of criteria, which includes a selected set of agents and a selected set of harms to a particular system, specified by a user; extracting a subset of the document data that satisfies the set of criteria; generating, with the processor, an array containing agent-harm coincidences from the extracted subset of the document data; assessing, with the processor, statistical significance of each agent-harm coincidence relative to other agent-harm coincidences; compiling, with the processor, risk data, based on the statistical significance, of agents of the selected set of agents causing harms of the selected set of harms to the particular system; and outputting the risk data. | 04-26-2012 |

20130263561 | MULTI-PANEL ANIMAL BLANKET - An animal blanket comprises a main body panel, an underbody panel and a set of fasteners. The main body panel drapes over a back of an animal, such as a horse. The underbody panel extends across a belly of the animal. The first set of fasteners releasably connect the main body panel and the underbody panel. In one embodiment, the main body panel comprises a barrel panel and a neck panel, and the underbody panel comprises a belly panel and a chest panel. A first side of the underbody panel is connected to the main body panel via the set of fasteners. In one embodiment, a second side of the underbody panel is also connected to the main body panel via the set of fasteners. In another embodiment, the second side of the underbody panel is connected to the main body panel via a stitched seam. | 10-10-2013 |
