20150030662 | Generation of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) from Mesenchymal Cells - Methods of generating functional human brown adipocytes, comprising exposing human stem cells, progenitor cells, or white adipocytes to culture with an differentiation cocktail that comprises one or more browning agents (e.g., one or more macromolecular crowders), and optionally one or more adipogenic agents, are described, as are populations of human brown adipocytes generated by the methods, and uses for the populations. Methods of generating functional human brown adipocytes in an individual, such as by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising an differentiation cocktail, are also described. | 01-29-2015 |
20140252870 | DOUBLE CONDUCTOR SINGLE PHASE INDUCTIVE POWER TRANSFER TRACKS - An IPT track arrangement including a power supply and conductor electrically connected to the power supply, the conductor includes a plurality of loops located substantially adjacent one another, wherein the polarity in adjacent portions of the loops is the same, and wherein the power supply includes a one or more inverters which share the track load. | 09-11-2014 |
20140239729 | INTEROPERABILITY OF MAGNETIC STRUCTURES FOR INDUCTIVE POWER TRANSFER SYSTEMS - Inductive power transfer apparatus has a first magnetic coupling structure and a second magnetic coupling structure, the structures being adapted to generate and/or receive magnetic flux to thereby transfer power inductively, the first structure comprising a substantially circular coil, and the second magnetic structure comprising an arrangement of at least two coils associated with a magnetically permeable core. | 08-28-2014 |
20140137184 | SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SYSTEMS - A device comprising an operating system to run processes and a middleware layer operable to launch applications. An application launched by the middleware layer is run using one or more processes in the operating system. The operating system has a user layer and a kernel wherein the processes run in the user layer and interact with other processes running in the user layer through the kernel, the interaction being in response to calls to the kernel made by the processes. The device has one or more policy files defining policies for interaction of processes with the kernel of the device, and a monitor configured to monitor interaction of a process with the kernel to link or associate defined policies to the process, and to read code defined in the policy file or files linked or associated to the process. | 05-15-2014 |
20140137183 | SECURITY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM - A method of linking a security policy stored in a policy database that is specific to an application in the application layer with a new corresponding process launched in the Linux layer in a security system for an operating system running on a device that comprises a Linux-based kernel. The system architecture is defined by a middleware layer between the Linux layer associated with the kernel and the higher application layer comprising the applications. | 05-15-2014 |
20120142000 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR ASSESSMENT OF PULMONARY FUNCTION AND DISORDERS - The present invention is concerned with methods for the assessment of pulmonary function and/or disorders, and in particular for diagnosing predisposition to and/or severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in smokers and non-smokers usins analysis of genetic polymorphisms and altered gene expression, particularly with regard to genes involved in matrix remodeling, anti-oxidant defence and the inflammatory response. | 06-07-2012 |
20100305308 | Lactoferrin - A pure lactoferrin polypeptide containing no more than two metal ions per molecule, or a mixture of the polypeptide and a fragment thereof. The polypeptide or the mixture stimulates skeletal growth and inhibits bone resorption. Also disclosed is a method of treating a bone-related disorder with the polypeptide or the mixture. | 12-02-2010 |
20090259025 | Lactoferrin - A pure lactoferrin polypeptide containing no more than two metal ions per molecule, or a mixture of the polypeptide and a fragment thereof. The polypeptide or the mixture stimulates skeletal growth and inhibits bone resorption. Also disclosed is a method of treating a bone-related disorder with the polypeptide or the mixture. | 10-15-2009 |
