20120211334 | CONVEYOR OVEN AND METHOD WITH IMPROVED DESIGN FOR INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY - A conveyor oven is provided that includes a conveyor assembly having an inlet section, and inner section and an outlet section. The conveyor assembly facilitates ease of removal by an enduser by allowing a single person to perform removal in a confined space. | 08-23-2012 |
20120219688 | CONVEYOR OVEN AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY - A conveyor oven that preheats air for a combustion burner. A heat exchanger extracts heat from a heated surface of the oven to preheat the air. In one embodiment, the heated surface is a surface of a door and/or of a wall, particularly, a side wall that includes either an inlet or an outlet for the conveyor oven. | 08-30-2012 |

20080317257 | SOUND PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR CONFIGURATION OF AUDIO SIGNALS IN A VEHICLE - A sound processing system for a vehicle includes a sound processor that is configured to mix at least one real audio input signal to form at least one virtual output signal. At least one audio signal that is available to drive at least one loudspeaker may be formed using the combination of the virtual output signal and the real audio input signal. The virtual output signal may be post processed to form a predetermined frequency range of the audio signal prior to being combined with the real audio input signal. The audio signal may be created by mixing the real audio input signal with the post processed virtual output signal. Alternatively, the audio signal may be formed by mixing the real audio input signal to form a real audio output signal, and then summing the real audio output signal with the post processed virtual output signal. Mixing may be performed with a crossbar mixer included in the sound processor. | 12-25-2008 |

20120008796 | DISTORTION COMPENSATION - A distortion compensation system minimizes distortion in an audio system by monitoring a supply voltage and adjusting a clipping threshold and/or compression knee. An adjustable gain circuit controls the gain of the audio signal according whether the audio signal exceeds a variable threshold. The variable threshold is adjusted within a threshold range based on the supply voltage. Distortion due to clipping of the audio signal is minimized while available power at any given time is maximized. | 01-12-2012 |

20090285832 | METHODS FOR TREATING SUNITINIB-RESISTANT CARCINOMA AND RELATED BIOMARKERS - A method of determining whether a tumor will be non-responsive to sunitinib therapy including detecting whether IL-8 or MMP12 expression levels in the tumor are elevated as compared to a control, that is, a tumor having elevated IL-8 or MMP12 levels will be non-responsive to sunitinib. Also, a method for inhibiting the proliferation or causing the death of a sunitinib-resistant tumor cell by contacting the cell with an agent that inhibits IL-8 or MMP12 activity and with sunitinib, whereby proliferation of the tumor cell is inhibited or the tumor cell dies. Further, the invention includes compositions and kits that include an IL-8 inhibitor or an MMP12 inhibitor and sunitinib, and related methods of treatment. | 11-19-2009 |
