摘要:
A method and apparatus of identifying and selecting characters from among a plurality of characters. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a computer processor electronically enables display of primary and secondary characters within a first region on a touch-sensitive electronic screen. Each secondary character has an associated primary character. Selection buttons within a second region on the screen are arranged to correspond with the positions of the primary characters. The computer processor electronically enables selection of a primary character by receiving input resulting from contact of the selection button that corresponds to the selected primary character. Selection of a secondary character is enabled by receiving input resulting from contact of the selection button that corresponds to the selected secondary character's associated primary character and movement of a tool along the screen in the direction of the selected secondary character relative to the selected secondary character's associated primary character.
摘要:
A method and apparatus of identifying and selecting characters from among a plurality of characters. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a computer processor electronically enables identification of each of a plurality of characters arranged in a one-dimensional array. Each character is identified by an integer value that corresponds to the number of positions the character is offset from a reference position of the one-dimensional array. The computer processor electronically enables selection of any of the characters by receiving input resulting from activation of selection keys that specify the integer value of a character desired for selection. In one further embodiment, each selection key has an assigned integer value, and the integer value that identifies the selected character is calculated by summing the assigned integer values of each selection key activated for each instance that each selection key is activated within a selectable-length time period.

The disclosure describes a system and method for locating a number in a source document by presenting and manipulating data on private and public companies. A central database of financial information is established. A target entity is entered within the central database by a user, and financial information of the target entity from the central database is displayed. Once a number within the display of financial information is selected, the system and method determines which document is the source document containing the numbers, searches through the source document for the number, identifies the location of the number in the source document and highlights and displays the number as it appears in the source document to the user.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for the detection, prevention, or treatment of anthrax or other infectious diseases. In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for immunizing humans or animals against Bacillus anthracis or other capsulated pathogens. The methods include administering a capsular polypeptide of a pathogen of interest and a CD40 agonist to a human or animal. The capsular polypeptide or the CD40 agonist is administered in such an amount or frequency that an immunoprotective response can be elicited in the human or animal against the pathogen of interest. In another aspect, the present invention provides methods of using passive immunization with anti-capsular polypeptide antibodies to prevent or treat infections caused by Bacillus anthracis or other pathogens. In yet another aspect, the present invention provides methods useful for diagnosis of anthrax by detection of capsular polypeptide in serum or other biological samples.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for generating peroxides in petroleum streams. More particularly, peroxides are generated in-situ by combining the petroleum stream with a high neutralization number (HNN) crude and adding an oxygen-containing stream. HNN crudes contain molecules sufficient for peroxide generation.

This invention relates to the selective ring opening of naphthenic and aromatic rings, and more particularly, to any petroleum or hydrocarbon streams derived from crudes containing naphthene and aromatic species. The rings may be selectively ring opened using an oxidation catalyst in the presence of an oxygen
摘要:
Controlled delivery of nucleic acid into adhered of cells is achieved by immobilizing the nucleic acid and the cells to a substrate. Improved control over delivery is achieved by immobilizing the nucleic acid to the substrate via complimentary DNA binding interactions with an oligonucleotide linker.
摘要:
A dewaxing catalyst is selectively activated by treatment with an oxygenate. Selective activation is accomplished by treated the dewaxing catalyst with a carrier feed containing oxygenate. The selectively activated dewaxing catalyst when used to dewax waxy hydrocarbons results in improved yield of isomerate at equivalent pour point over a dewaxing catalyst which has not been oxygenate treated.
摘要:
A process for producing lube oil basestocks wherein a wax containing lube oil boiling range feedstream is converted into a basestock suitable for use in motor oil applications by contacting it with a hydrodewaxing catalyst containing a medium pore molecular sieve having deposited thereon an active metal oxide and at least one hydrogenation metal selected from the Group VIII and Group VIB metals.
