Abstract:
A method and apparatus for applying a rotational transform to a portion of a three-dimensional representation of an appliance for a living body is disclosed. The representation is defined by an input plurality of coordinates stored in a processor circuit memory, the input plurality of coordinates representing a general shape of the appliance. The method involves applying the rotational transform to the portion of the representation of the appliance within the transform volume to produce an output plurality of coordinates representing a modified shape of the appliance such that the general shape of portions of the appliance outside the transform volume remain un-modified by the rotational transform, and storing the output plurality of coordinates in the processor circuit memory.
Abstract:
The invention describes improved methods and compositions for producing a recombinant protein, e.g., an antibody, in mammalian cell culture. In addition, the invention provides improved cell culture media, including improved production media, feed solutions, and combination feeds, which may be used to improve protein productivity in mammalian cell culture.

Abstract:
The present application is directed to a protective case for housing an electronic device including a front cover member defined by an outer surface and an inner surface and a back cover member having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a first thickness of the back cover member, the inner surface including one or more raised surface areas defining a second thickness of the back cover member along a predetermined pattern.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided to start a virtual service node that is configured to provide network traffic services for one or more virtual machines. The virtual service node has at least one associated service profile comprising identifiers for corresponding service policies for network traffic services. The service policies identified in the at least one associated service profile are retrieved. A virtual machine is started with an associated virtual interface and a port profile is applied to the virtual interface, including information identifying the service profile. Information is provided to the virtual service node that informs the virtual service node of network parameters and assigned service profile of the virtual machine. Network traffic associated with the virtual machine is intercepted and redirected to the virtual service node. A virtual service data path is provided that enables dynamic service binding, virtual machine mobility support, and virtual service node chaining and/or clustering.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for implementing a zone-based firewall policy. At a virtual network device, information is defined and stored that represents a security management zone for a virtual firewall policy comprising one or more common attributes of applications associated with the security zone. Information representing a firewall rule for the security zone is defined and comprises first conditions for matching common attributes of applications associated with the security zone and an action to be performed on application traffic. Parameters associated with the application traffic are received that are associated with properly provisioned virtual machines. A determination is made whether the application traffic parameters satisfy the conditions of the firewall rule and in response to determining that the conditions are satisfied, the action is performed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a spotter device and methods for the formation of microassays, biochips, biosensors, and cell cultures. The spotter may be used to deposit highly concentrated spots of protein or other materials on a microarray a slide, wafer, or other substrate. The spotter uses microfluidic conduits and orifices to deposit proteins, other biomolecules, or chemicals on a spot on a substrate. Each orifice is part of a fluid pathways that includes an inlet and outlet conduit. When the spotter contacts a substrate a seal is formed between the orifices and the substrate.
