- Abstract:
When describing unique or local materials, librarians and archivists often create high-quality metadata which then gets stored in collection-specific silos. The systems we use often make reuse difficult, even when the metadata might apply to other materials. I will be talking about a project conducted at the NASA Goddard Library to extract local authorities from one collection of objects in a Fedora repository, then create a localized authority reconciliation service, and finally apply the au…

- Patent Number:
- US 7275013 B2
- Description:
Methods and systems are described for a system for obtaining information regarding a flow. These methods and systems comprise a signal generator configured to generate an alternating current signal at a carrier frequency and a transformer arranged to receive the generated signal, wherein the transformer and carrier frequency are selected so that the generated signal resonates at the carrier frequency. The alternating signal is then used to cause plasma to form across a gap between two electro…

Patent
- Inventor(s):
- John H. Adams, Malcolm J. Fraser, Bharath Balu, Douglas A. Shoue
- Patent Number:
- US 7932088 B2
- Description:
The present invention provides molecular methods for efficiently transforming the genome of common disease-transmitting parasites, such as Plasmodium falciparum. The transformation efficiencies are improved up to 100 times over those conventionally known. The methods provide high saturation of the target parasite genome, of 50% or greater, and target non-specifically TTAA-rich sites in the parasite genome. The invention also discloses a model that may be used to functionally annotate the geno…

- Patent Number:
- US 6907102 B2
- Description:
A multi-slice computed tomography imaging system is provided including a source that generates an x-ray beam and a detector array that receives the x-ray beam and generates projection data. A translatable table has an object thereon and is operable to translate in relation to the source and the detector array. The source and the detector array rotate about the translatable table to helically scan the object. An image reconstructor is electrically coupled to the detector array and reconstructs…

- Patent Number:
- US 7922845 B2
- Description:
An apparatus for bonding a first carbon composite to a second carbon composite through a reactant layer includes a housing, and a pair of conductive press plates electrically isolated from the housing. The press plates are adapted to position the two parts to be bonded with a reactant layer therebetween. The press plates are subjected to an electrical potential and a clamping force, sufficient to initiate a combustion reaction that creates a molten ceramic to bond together the carbon-carbon c…
