20090018059 | Method for maintaining pluripotency of stem/progenitor cells - The present invention relates to a method for maintaining pluripotency and/or self-renewing characteristics of stem/progenitor cells. The invention also relates to a method for modulating gene expression in a cell. The methods include contacting at least two transcription factors, or a functional fragment thereof, with the promoter region of the nanog gene. One of the at least two transcription factors is selected from the POU- and homeo-domain-containing transcription factors. Another of the at least two transcription factors is selected from the HMG domain-containing transcription factors. The method further comprises allowing the at least two transcription factors to form a complex with a specific binding element within the nanog promoter. The complex thus formed regulates nanog gene expression by mediating transcriptional activation. | 01-15-2009 |

20110263952 | INCONTINENCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND DIAPER - An incontinence management system for monitoring wetness in one or more absorbent articles, includes input for receiving one or more sensor signals indicative of a presence of wetness in an absorbent article, processor for processing the one or more sensor signals and for performing an analysis of the signals to characterise wetness events occurring in an absorbent article and user interface for communicating with a user of the system. A mathematical model is used to characterise wetness events, receiving as inputs variables derived from sensor signals and optionally, patient and demographic data. The mathematical model can be configured and/or re-configured utilising observation data obtained while monitoring a patient for wetness. A diaper for use with such as system is also disclosed. | 10-27-2011 |

20150251505 | HITCH ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OFCOUPLING CARTS USING THE HITCH ASSEMBLY - A hitch assembly includes a frame including a base. A first plate extending from the base defines a first opening. A second plate extending from the base defines a second opening coaxially aligned with the first opening. A sleeve is coupled to the first plate and includes a cylindrical wall defining a passage coaxially aligned with the first opening. The sleeve further defines a first notch and a second notch displaced along a circumference of the wall from the first notch. The first notch and the second notch extend from a first end of the sleeve parallel with the axis. A pin having an alignment post extending radially outwardly from the pin is movably positioned within the passage to position the alignment post in the first notch or the second notch. Methods of connecting an incoming cart to a hitch assembly of a first cart are also disclosed. | 09-10-2015 |

20110155461 | SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR DIRECTING THE DRILLING OF A WELL - A system for directing the drilling of a well at a drill-site includes an instructing unit, an instructed unit, and a central unit. The instructed unit receives drilling instruction from an instructing driller, sends drilling instructions to the central unit, and presents to the instructing driller drilling instructions and instruction confirmations received from the central unit. The instructed unit receives instruction confirmations from an instructed driller, sends instruction confirmations to the central unit, and presents to the instructed driller drilling instructions received from the central unit. The central unit stores and forwards drilling instructions and instruction confirmations to the instructing unit and instructed unit, and generates and stores slide sheet information from the drilling instructions. | 06-30-2011 |
20110187555 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECODING A SIGNAL SENT FROM A MEASUREMENT-WHILE-DRILLING TOOL - Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for decoding a signal sent from a measurement-while-drilling tool. In order to decode the signal, a decoder implementation that is communicative according to a decoder implementation protocol and that is configured to decode the signal into a decoded signal is instantiated. The decoder implementation protocol is then conformed to a transmission protocol. The signal is sent to the decoder implementation according to the transmission protocol. Because the decoder implementation protocol has been conformed to the transmission protocol, the decoder implementation can receive the signal and can decode it. One way in which the decoder implementation protocol can be conformed to the transmission protocol is through the use of a translation layer between the module that sends the signal to be decoded and the decoder implementation. | 08-04-2011 |
