TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER 6 Methods and Apparatuses Using Filter Banks for Multi-carrier Spread-spectrum Signals As the demand for personalized applications continues to grow in mobile communications, there is an increasing need for seamless connectivity between different multi-carrier modes. Multi-Carrier Spread Spectrum (MC-SS) is a particular form of spread-spectrum technique that is designed to be resistant to narrow and/or partial band interference.There is a need for apparatuses and methods such as this Filter-Bank MC-SS that generate and detect MC-SS that can carry information at a very low power level distributed over the frequency spectrum. Patent No. 9,559,748 granted 1/31/2017 to Hussein Moradi, Behrouz Farhang and Carl A. Kutsche Type II Restriction-modification System Methylation Subunit of Alicyclobacillus Acidocaldarius Thermophilic and acidophilic bacteria have great potential for production of useful chemicals in industrial processes. However, most systems for promoting genetic recombination for the purposes of introducing nucleic acids of interest are not well-suited for such bacteria. Embodiments of this invention relate to isolated and purified Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius polypeptides, nucleic acid sequences encoding them and methods for their use. Patent No. 9,567,595 granted 2/14/2017 to Brady D. Lee, Deborah T. Newby, Jeffrey A. Lacey, David N. Thompson,Vicki S. Thompson,William A. Apel, Francisco F. Roberto and David W. Reed Vaporization Chambers and Associated Methods Liquefied natural gas is produced via a refrigeration process that changes the gas to a liquid state. Carbon dioxide has a freezing temperature that is higher than the liquefaction temperature of methane, which results in solid crystal formation as the natural gas cools. Because of this, conventional liquefaction systems utilize a costly process to separate CO2 from other natural gas components prior to the liquefaction process. This invention eliminates the need for gas phase CO2 separation with a vaporization chamber that enables effective separation of solid CO2 to a sublimation device. Patent No. 9,574,713 granted 2/21/2017 to Terry D. Turner, Bruce M.Wilding, Michael G. McKellar and Lee P. Shunn Improved Antibody Profiling SensitivityThrough Increased Reporter Antibody Layering Antibody profiling is based on the discovery that every individual has a unique set of antibodies found in many bodily fluids and tissues. A method for analyzing biological samples by antibody profiling in a biochip format would make analysis amenable to automation. In this invention, the method is used as a test for the presence of drugs and can also be used to test for identity. Patent No. RE46351, granted 3/28/2017 to William A. Apel and Vicki S. Thompson Method, System, and Computer-readable Medium for Estimating a Predicted Arbitrary Aging Condition of an Object Over the service life of a battery, certain performance characteristics may experience losses.This invention describes systems and methods that provide a modeling capability to more accurately determine, track and diagnose performance losses due to degradation mechanisms. The system also predicts arbitrary aging conditions of an object, such as electrochemical cells and batteries. Patent No. 9,625,532 granted 4/18/2017 to Kevin L. Gering Monitoring Devices and Systems for Monitoring Frequency Hopping Wireless Communications, and Related Methods Wireless technologies employing frequency, such as BLUETOOTH.RTM, are becoming more pervasive in industry and government environments. In undiscoverable mode, a device may communicate but will not be detectable to conventional monitoring devices, which may allow communications to occur in areas not necessarily desired. Various embodiments of this invention comprise monitoring devices and systems configured to monitor frequency hopping wireless communications without transmission by the device or system. Patent No. 9,641,216 granted 5/2/2017 to Kurt W. Derr and John G. Richardson Patent No. 9,683,976
