| 20120032882 | HANDS-FREE POINTER SYSTEM - The present invention describes a hands-free system for controlling the movement of a cursor on one or more display devices. A tracking device including a traceable marker and one or more accelerometers and gyroscopes are used to track position and acceleration of the marker relative to a target of interest. A processing means processes the motion signals from the tracking device to determine the location of the cursor on the operator's monitor, which may also be displayed on more monitors. The tracking device is worn by the operator, optimally on the operator's head. The operator's head movements determine movement of the cursor. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120014920 | ANNEXIN AND ITS USE TO TREAT INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS - There is provided a composition comprising an effective amount of Annexin A | 01-19-2012 |
| 20100290989 | COMPOSITIONS AFFECTING HYALURONIC ACID MEDIATED ACTIVITY - Compositions comprising hyaluronic acid (HA) or agents that interfere with HA binding of HA receptors and methods of using the same are provided. For example, there is provided a composition comprising HA oligomers ranging in size from 10-mer to 80-mer and use of the same for promoting migration, growth or survival of wild-type or transformed/cancerous cells. There is also provided a composition comprising an agent that interferes with binding between an HA oligomer of a size of about 10-mer to about 80-mer and an HA receptor. Such compositions may be useful for therapeutic, diagnostic or imaging applications. Examples of therapeutic use are wound repair or cancer treatment. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100028350 | PREVENTING IL-2 MEDIATED INFLAMMATION IN EPITHELIAL CELLS - The present invention provides new methods for treating, minimizing and/or preventing inflammatory injury involving IL-2 activity on epithelial cells expressing IL-2 receptors. Methods for reducing or preventing inflammatory injury in a tissue/organ comprise inhibiting IL-2 receptor activity in cells of the tissue/organ. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20090220582 | METHOD OF CANCER TREATMENT USING SIRNA SILENCING - The present invention is a method for the treatment of cancer involving tumor derived immunosuppression in a subject. The method comprises administering to a subject one or more siRNA constructs capable of inhibiting the expression of an immunosuppressive molecule. The invention also provides siRNA constructs and compositions. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20080311552 | Use of Sirnas in Organ Storage/Reperfusion Solutions - The invention is the modification of organs, tissues and cells with a storage/reperfusion solution comprising siRNAs specific for genes whose expression is associated with loss of viability or cell damage. The presence of siRNAs in the storage/reperfusion solution minimizes and/or prevents organ, tissue and cell damage such that the organs, tissues or cells can be used for in vivo transplantation. The invention is also directed generally to methods for maintaining organs, tissues and cells in a viable state using the storage/reperfusion solution. | 12-18-2008 |
