International Business Machines Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 29 -- International Business Machines, Armonk, N.Y., has been assigned a patent (8,165,138) developed by four co-inventors for a "converged infiniband over Ethernet network." The co-inventors are Aaron C. Brown, Austin, Texas, Jimmy R. Hill, Austin, Texas, Gregory F. Pfister, Austin, Texas, and Renato J. Recio, Austin, Texas.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method of providing a converged InfiniBand over Ethernet (IBOE) network. An IBOE switch receives a data packet. If the data packet is received by the IBOE switch from the InfiniBand network, a translation utility looks up an Ethernet media access control (MAC) address corresponding to an LID of the packet in a translation table. The translation utility generates an Ethernet packet and encapsulates an InfiniBand link layer packet before sending the packet. If the data packet is received by the IBOE switch from the Ethernet network, the translation utility removes the Ethernet header from the packet and looks up a LID corresponding to the MAC address. The translation utility calculates an outbound port number and sends the packet."
The patent application was filed on Dec. 4, 2007 (11/950,055). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,165,138&OS=8,165,138&RS=8,165,138

QUALCOMM Assigned Patent for Line-based Video Rate Control
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 29 -- QUALCOMM, San Diego, has been assigned a patent (8,165,203) developed by Felix C. Fernandes, Plano, Texas, for a "line-based video rate control."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method for line-based video rate control is provided. The line based video rate control method includes system feedback to change system operating parameters, including on a packet-by-packet basis and also on a line-by-line basis. Also provided is a method for line-based compression. The method includes basic elements of an arithmetic coder to improve Golomb coding performance. By inverting operations in the method for line-based compression, the corresponding decoder can be obtained. The method also provides a heuristic-driven method for generating prediction residuals from quantized data, wherein prediction is driven in the direction of maximum correlation so that it is unnecessary to supply the decoder with additional data specifying this direction at each array element."

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "This invention relates to new transition metal complexes for use in olefin polymerization and oligomerization. The active complex is a pyridine amide having a metallocenyl substituent as part of the ligand structure. The invention also relates to novel precursors for the ligand systems of such complexes obtained from metallocenyl-substituted pyridine compounds through sequences involving addition-condensation or lithium-halogen exchange (with subsequent metathesis) reactions."
The patent application was filed on Aug. 13, 2010 (12/856,347). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,163,853&OS=8,163,853&RS=8,163,853

Dow Global Technologies Assigned Patent for Aqueous Polymer Dispersions and Products from Those Dispersions
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 29 -- Dow Global Technologies, Midland, Mich., has been assigned a patent (8,163,837) developed by six co-inventors for an "aqueous polymer dispersions and products from those dispersions." The co-inventors are Brad M. Moncla, Lake Jackson, Texas, Sarah T. Eckersley, Midland, Mich., Ralph G. Czerepinksi, Midland, Mich., Charles F. Diehl, Blue Bell, Pa., Matthew J. Kalinowski, Freeland, Mich., and Dale C. Schmidt, Midland, Mich.
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method for forming a heat sealable coating on a substrate, wherein the substrate is formed from at least one oriented polymer is shown. The method includes depositing an aqueous polymer dispersion on the substrate, wherein the aqueous polymer dispersion includes (A) at least one thermoplastic resin; (B) at least one dispersing agent; and (C) water; wherein the dispersion has a pH of less than 12, and drying the dispersion to form a first layer."
The patent application was filed on March 15, 2011 (13/048,626). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,163,837&OS=8,163,837&RS=8,163,837

University of Texas System Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 29 -- The University of Texas System, Austin, Texas, has been assigned a patent (8,163,881) developed by E. Sally Ward Ober, Dallas, for an "immunoglobulin molecules with improved characteristics."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The present invention provides for IgG1 molecules with improved characteristics. In particular, substitution mutations are provided that, in combination, facilitate improved placental transfer, improved serum half-life and improved FcRn binding. Substitution mutations are also provided, that in combination, can be used to block FcRn function and thereby increase the clearance rates of other (endogenous or exogenous) IgGs, block placental transport of IgGs and have increased affinity/reduced pH dependence for FcRn binding."
The patent application was filed on May 31, 2006 (11/445,475). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,163,881&OS=8,163,881&RS=8,163,881

ExxonMobil Chemical Patents Assigned Patent
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 29 -- ExxonMobil Chemical Patents, Houston, has been assigned a patent (8,163,854) developed by Gary L. Casty, Easton, Pa., and George Rodriguez, Houston, for a "preparation of supported silyl-capped silica-bound anion activators and associated catalysts."
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method for the preparation of olefin polymerization catalysts that are the reaction products of the catalytic reaction of surface hydroxyls of a support with a trialkyl silane to afford hydrogen and the corresponding surface bound alkyl silyl ether and at the same time with a strong Lewis acid which support is converted to a silica bound anion that in a second step is fully converted by reaction with QM.sub.2 to the desired catalyst. Catalyst compositions are disclosed herein. Processes disclosed herein include processes for the polymerization of olefinically unsaturated monomers comprising contacting a plurality of one or more of the monomers with the catalyst."
The patent application was filed on Sept. 20, 2010 (12/886,146). The full-text of the patent can be found at http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=8,163,854&OS=8,163,854&RS=8,163,854
