Filed:

Oct 3, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/251872

Inventors:

James C. Masters - Walnut Creek CA
Thomas K. Stevens - El Cerrito CA

US Classification:

D10 69

US Patent:

D3324117, Jan 12, 1993

Filed:

Sep 17, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/583680

Inventors:

James C. Masters - Glen Ellyn IL
Thomas K. Stevens - Orinda CA

US Classification:

D10 69

US Patent:

49707965, Nov 20, 1990

Filed:

Aug 17, 1989

Appl. No.:

7/395074

Inventors:

James C. Masters - Glen Ellyn IL
Thomas K. Stevens - Orinda CA

International Classification:

G01C 928

US Classification:

33347

Abstract:

A tool for abutment against an object to detect when the object is at a predetermined orientation is temporarily securable to the object in order to free both of the operator's hands for other activities. Plural spirit level vials, oriented to face in different directions, indicate when the tool is vertical, horizontal or inclined at one or more predetermined angles. In the preferred form, the tool body has a central handle region from which arms extend in opposite directions and a pair of members extend laterally from the end of each arm to define segments of a right angled slot into which the object is fitted. The tool preferably has three different types of fastener including retractable nail-like pins which may be penetrated into wood or the like, elastic cords which may be used to clasp the object and magnets which cause the tool to cling to steel posts, pipes or the like.

International Classification:

C07K 14/435
C07K 14/395
C12P 21/02

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to methods for producing recombinant proteins, as well as compositions used in and produced by such methods. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to methods for producing high secreted yields of recombinant proteins, and the compositions provided herein include expression constructs, recombinant vectors, and recombinant host cells that comprise polynucleotide sequences encoding proteins operably linked to recombinant secretion signals that comprise the leader peptide of the a-mating factor (αMF) of and a non-αMF signal peptide.

Appl. No.:

16/945803

Inventors:

Thomas Stevens - Moraga CA, US

International Classification:

G16H 20/70
G16H 50/70
G16H 10/60
G16H 50/30

Abstract:

An application on a user's mobile device provides interaction and network support which may be based or supplemented with knowledge of the user's emotional state and risk of drug or alcohol dependency relapse. The user's emotional state may be determined in a number of interrelated and/or independent ways including asking the user to rate his/her state, games/quizzes, and/or pictures of the user, any one or more of which may be analyzed for emotional cues. The application establishes an emotional baseline, identifies triggers, tracks movements/activities, and helps the user stay on the road to recovery through consistent messaging, advice, ideas, and feedback. The user's network is notified if conditions point to a likely or imminent relapse and a response team may be automatically selected and notified to intercede in a virtual and/or physical intervention.
