20140323535 | 5-OXO-ETE RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST COMPOUNDS - The present invention relates to novel pharmaceutically-useful compounds which are antagonists of the 5-oxo-ETE receptors, such as the OXE receptor. These compounds have use as therapeutic and/or prophylactic agents for diseases characterized by tissue eosinophilia, such as inflammatory conditions including respiratory diseases. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions, to the use of such compounds and compositions as medicaments, and to therapeutic methods. | 10-30-2014 |
20120312606 | Robotic Walking Apparatus - A bipod robotic walking apparatus consisting of two feet on the coupler link of a spherical four-bar linkage, for movement in a forward or rearward direction by repeated motions of the four-bar linkage. Three four-bar linkages may be connected in tandem to form a hexapod with three points of contact with the ground. | 12-13-2012 |
20120288212 | High-Speed Diversity-Based Imaging Method for Parallel Atmospheric Turbulence Compensation - An imaging method providing atmospheric turbulence compensation includes capturing a subject image pair. Data corresponding to the captured subject image pair is loaded into memory associated with a parallel processing device. A 2-D Fast Fourier Transform is performed on the stored image data and the transformed image data is stored. An optical transfer function is developed for the transformed image data. The optical transfer function is inverted and applied to the transformed image data to generate corrected image spectrum data that is compensated for atmospheric aberrations. An Inverse Fast Fourier Transform is applied to the corrected image spectrum data to produce corrected image data. The corrected image data is stored. | 11-15-2012 |
20120102939 | Ocean Wave Energy Harnessing Device - A system for extracting long wavelength ocean wave energy and for extracting rotational wave energy uses a plurality of boom elements connected to at least one hinge element for movement about the hinge element in a direction of the vertical force of a wave and for movement about the hinge element in a direction of the transverse force of a wave, and the hinge element includes a shaft transverse to the boom elements with a blade mounted to the shaft for rotational movement of the shaft in the direction of the rotational force of a wave. | 05-03-2012 |
20110208065 | Optical Tomography System Using Short-Pulse Laser for Early Cancer Diagnostics - Time-resolved optical tomography systems using a short pulse laser, may be used in detection and treatment of cancer and tumors. Information is conveyed about tissue interior by the temporal variation of the observed scattered, and reflected measured when short-pulse lasers interact with scattering-absorbing media like tissue. Multiple scattering-induced temporal signature that persists for time periods greater than the duration of the source pulse and is a function of the source pulse width, the scattering and absorbing properties of the medium, and the location in the medium where the properties undergo changes. If the detection is carried out on the same short time scale (comparable to the order of the pulse width), the signal continues to be observed even for long durations after the pulse has been off due to the time taken for the photons to migrate to the detector after multiple scattering in the tissue media. | 08-25-2011 |
20110150464 | Orbital Angular Momentum In Spatially Multiplexed Optical Fiber Communications - Multiple light beams are launched into a single optical fiber, each respective light beam with a corresponding signal. Each of the respective multi-beams are separated by launching each of the light at a different incidence angle and/or input position, into the optical fiber. In this way, each light beam is able to propagate independently according to its own trajectory inside the fiber. The resultant multi light beams propagate with respective counter cyclical orbital angular momentum with respective helical paths. | 06-23-2011 |
20110076223 | Apparatus and Method For Producing Liquid Ferrate - A method for producing a ferrate solution by producing a ferrate intermediate material and then combining the intermediate material with a halogen or ozone solution. | 03-31-2011 |
