| 20110307983 | Peach tree named 'White Diamond' - Description and specification of a new and distinct peach tree cultivar named ‘White Diamond’ which originated from a hand-pollinated cross of Ark. 392 (female, non-patented, unreleased genotype)בWhite River’ (male, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,159) is provided, This new peach tree cultivar can be distinguished by its late-season maturity, firm flesh, low-acid flavor, large freestone fruits and resistance to bacterial spot disease. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110306048 | BOVINE POLYMORPHISMS AND METHODS OF PREDICTING BOVINE TRAITS - Methods of predicting the phenotype of a trait in a bovine subject are provided. The methods include obtaining information about polynucleotide sequences specifically regarding the identity of the nucleotides present at one or more identified single nucleotide polymorphisms and using this information to make predictions regarding the trait in the subject. Also provided are kits for and methods of determining the nucleotide present in a bovine subject at a position in which a single nucleotide polymorphism is correlated with a trait. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110302680 | Blackberry plant named APF-45 - Description and specifications of a new and distinct blackberry cultivar named ‘APF-45’ which originated from seed produced by a hand pollinated cross of Ark. Selection APF-1 (non-patented, unreleased genotype)×APF-12 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,989) is provided. This new blackberry cultivar can be distinguished by its very firm fruit with excellent postharvest handling potential, medium-large size, attractive fruit appearance, very good flavor, excellent plant health, and cane erectness. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110251469 | WIRELESS NANOTECHNOLOGY BASED SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSIS OF NEUROLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL DISORDERS - A wireless system for neurological and physiological monitoring of a patient. The system includes a patient monitoring unit having a headcap and a belt. The headcap includes a wireless communication module, an antenna, and an amplifier. The headcap further includes at least one of a biopotential electrode, a temperature sensor, a rotation sensor, an accelerometer, and an airflow sensor. The belt includes a respiration sensor comprising a carbon nanotube-based strain sensor. The system also includes a base receiver-server unit including a wireless receiving unit, a data storage unit, and a network communications unit. The system also includes a client monitoring unit which includes a processor, a network communications unit operably coupled to the processor, and a storage medium operably coupled to the processor, wherein the storage medium includes program instructions executable by the processor for receiving and processing data from the patient monitoring unit. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110044903 | METHODS FOR PRODUCING MICROBUBBLES - The present invention provides methods for the preparation of gas-filled microbubbles, and methods of using for therapeutic and/or diagnostic applications. In particular, the methods of the invention allow for the preparation of gas-filled microbubbles having narrow size distributions and defined ultrasonic properties. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20100184160 | STAPHYLOCOCUS AUREUS STRAIN CYL1892 - This disclosure presents embodiments of novel strains of | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100143391 | HAPTEN COMPOUNDS AND COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF - The invention generally relates to hapten compounds comprising either (+)methamphetamine or (+)amphetamine conjugated to a linker. Generally speaking, hapten compounds of the invention may be used to elicit an immune response to one or more of (+)methamphetamine, (+)amphetamine, or (+)MDMA. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100028454 | Preparation method for biodegradable micro-particles containing drugs - The disclosure provides a method to form sustained release drug-containing microparticles with a biodegradable polymer. The method involves forming a polymer-drug-organic solvent phase, and dispersing the polymer-drug-organic solvent phase in an aqueous suspension of an inorganic gel, which may be hydroxyapatite. The hydroxyapatite appears to coat the polymer-drug-solvent droplets to prevent them coalescing. The solvent then evaporates with stirring of the dispersion, at which time the droplets solidify to drug-containing microparticles. The inorganic gel allows suitably small microparticles to form without use of an organic emulsifier. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20080221216 | Use of modafinil to treat spasticity - The invention provides a method of reducing spasticity in a mammal involving administering modafinil or related compounds. The spasticity can be secondary to multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, stroke, brain injury, and other causes. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080199885 | Overexpression of mammaglobin B in ovarian and endometrial tumors - a new diagnostic and therapeutic marker - The invention involves the discovery that the mammaglobin B gene is the single most overexpressed gene in primary ovarian serous papillary cancer over normal ovarian epithelium among over 14,000 genes tested. It is expressed over 800-fold higher in primary ovarian tumors than normal ovarian epithelium. Mammaglobin B gene expression was detected in endometrioid, mucinous, undifferentiated, serous papillary, clear cell, and mixed histology ovarian tumors. The protein can be found in blood and ascites fluid, and a simple blood test for the presence of mammaglobin B protein can provide early detection of ovarian and other cancers. The invention provides a method of screening for cancer involving detecting mammaglobin B in a fluid sample. | 08-21-2008 |
