Robert F. Reid - Surprise AZ 85374

International Classification:

B62D 3303

US Classification:

29613607, 296 571, 40591

Abstract:

A tailgate cover includes a flexible panel having a first side, a second side, a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge. The first and second edges are positioned opposite of each other. A bisecting line extends through the first and second edges and divides the panel into a first portion and a second portion. Each of a first elongated strap and a second elongated strap is attached to and extends along a length of a respective one of the first and second edges such that a respective first portion and a second portion of the first and second straps is defined. The first side of the panel is positionable on a tailgate. A securing assembly releasably secures the first and second portions of the first strap together and the first and second portions of the second strap together.

International Classification:

A61K039/00
G01N033/543

US Classification:

4241841, 4241851, 514 13, 514 14

Abstract:

Assay methods for determining whether a peptide is likely to be immunogenic are based on a computer modeling of binding to a Class II MHC DR1 receptor. This is confirmed by competitive inhibition binding assays. The peptides are useful for eliciting an immune response for vaccination or the production of antibodies or T-cells.

Robert Reid - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

H04B 7/216

US Classification:

370342

Abstract:

This specification describes technologies relating to a phone-based system for identifying broadcast audio streams, and methods of providing such a system. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of broadcast streams, each from a corresponding broadcast source and generating a first broadcast audio identifier based on a first broadcast stream of the plurality of broadcast streams. The method also includes storing for a selected temporary period of time the first broadcast audio identifier. The method further includes receiving a user-initiated telephone connection; and generating a user audio identifier. Other implementations of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products.

Abstract:

This specification describes technologies relating to a phone-based system for targeted advertisement delivery by identifying broadcast audio advertisements, and methods of providing such a system. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a user-initiated telephone connection that includes an audio sample of an advertisement from a broadcast source, and identifying the audio advertisement sample. The method also includes retrieving a metadata associated with the identified audio advertisement sample, obtaining a targeted advertisement information that most closely corresponds to the retrieved metadata. The method further includes transmitting a message including the targeted advertisement information. Other implementations of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products.

Appl. No.:

12/002238

Inventors:

Robert Jackson Reid - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

F02B 53/00

US Classification:

123200

Abstract:

This rotary engine configuration combines the four cycles required to produce power, thrust, exhaust, intake, and compression which are merged into a single cycle per revolution. Most engine designs need two revolutions. This requires the mechanical functions to produce power simultaneously; consequently, the parts are performing several functions at the same time. So, only a few parts are needed. The rotor is the big worker. Combustion turns the rotor power cog one way, while the exhaust gases go the opposite way to escape through an opening directly behind the power producing face, into the open air. In this concept, where many power generating functions are going on at the same time, only a few moving parts are needed. Fewer parts used translate into the many benefits described in the claims. An exhaust gas fan reduces the exhaust gas exit pressure further maximizing fuel economy. A kit of energy storing rings is provided. These rings can also provide pitch and roll stabilization forces for the vehicle.

International Classification:

A61B 1700
A61B 1712

US Classification:

128305

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to a vascular connector device which has features that permit the connector device to close a vascular duct and to subsequently permit the vascular duct to be re-opened, if desired. The vascular connector of this disclosure features a tubular shaped vascular connector having a guillotine type plunger arrangement or assembly which can be actuated for first closing and then re-opening the vascular duct, if desired. Also disclosed are two separate clamp mechanisms in the form of special tongs with one used for initially actuating the guillotine type plunger arrangement to close off the vascular duct and the other clamp mechanism is used for achieving opening of the vascular duct by moving the guillotine type plunger arrangement into another position which causes the vascular duct to re-open by means of the restoration of an open conduit through the vascular duct because of the alignment of both previously separated portions of the vascular duct with an aperture in the guillotine type plunger mechanism.
