20150309202 | Constant Phase - Various embodiments are described that relate to a loop with a constant phase. The loop can function as an antenna and be used in object detection. A current source can be used to power the loop such that the loop produces a magnetic field and electric field. The magnetic field can be powerful enough to detect a dielectric while the electric field is so small that it does not interfere with nearby communication equipment. Thus, detection can occur without disruption of other important devices. | 10-29-2015 |
20150227641 | RADAR TARGET CROSS SECTION SIMULATION - Various embodiments are described that relate to production of an array pattern and an element pattern for an antenna. A user can enter input parameters by way of a computer interface and based on these input parameters the array pattern and element pattern can be produced. The array pattern and the element pattern are produced such that a monitoring apparatus does not identify the antenna as an object of interest when the antenna is implemented with the element pattern and the array pattern. | 08-13-2015 |
20150127302 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZED ROUTING - A method and apparatus for path optimization comprising receiving model data, obstacle data and impact data describing an environment, parsing the model and obstacle data and constructing a three-dimensional data grid and calculating the cost of a path traversal from a start node to an end node based on cost of movement and the impact data. | 05-07-2015 |
20140343458 | Device and method for inducing brain injury in animal test subjects - An apparatus and method for inflicting brain injury on a laboratory animal that employs a platform for supporting the laboratory animal. The platform defines an opening for positioning the head of the laboratory animal over the opening. A projectile is launched from a projectile launching device orientated below the opening of the platform. The projectile launching device has a means for propelling the projectile directly at and/or through the opening of said platform, thereby inflicting brain injury on the animal via either a pressure wave or concussive impact of the projectile. Without helmet, direct impact of the projectile results in severe traumatic brain injury. Use of helmet protects animals from skull fracture, subdural hematoma, intracerebral hemorrhage and contusion yet produces mild concussion-like pathology. | 11-20-2014 |
20140243394 | Compositions and Methods for Inhibiting Expression of a Gene from the Ebola Virus - The invention relates to a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) for inhibiting the expression of a gene from the Ebola virus. | 08-28-2014 |
20140088270 | Mixed Organic and Inorganic Polymers - A polymer is characterized by a repeat unit represented by Structural Formula (I): | 03-27-2014 |
20130207119 | LOW-DEFECT DENSITY GALLIUM NITRIDE SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURES AND FABRICATION METHODS - A low-defect gallium nitride structure including a first gallium nitride layer comprising a plurality of gallium nitride columns etched into the first gallium nitride layer and a first dislocation density; and a second gallium nitride layer that extends over the gallium nitride columns and comprises a second dislocation density, wherein the second dislocation density may be lower than the first dislocation density. In addition, a method for fabricating a gallium nitride semiconductor layer that includes masking an underlying gallium nitride layer with a mask that comprises an array of columns and growing the underlying gallium nitride layer through the columns and onto said mask using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition pendeo-epitaxy to thereby form a pendeo-epitaxial gallium nitride layer coalesced on said mask to form a continuous pendeo-epitaxial monocrystalline gallium nitride semiconductor layer. | 08-15-2013 |
20130165833 | Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis - An exoskeletal orthosis includes a proximal cuff comprising a hinge along an upper edge of the cuff; an ankle section/footplate; and at least one posterior strut connecting the proximal cuff to the ankle section and foot plate. | 06-27-2013 |
20120210901 | SELF-SPRUNG STABILIZATION FIN SYSTEM FOR GUN-LAUNCHED ARTILLERY PROJECTILES - A system and process for the aerodynamic stabilization of rocket-assisted artillery projectiles launched from smooth-bore cannons comprises multiple stabilization fins stowed circumferentially and held by a cap until muzzle exit. At muzzle exit, the cap separates and allows the fins to self-deploy using the energy stored within the fin material, which is either shape memory alloy or spring steel. The fins are then locked into place and serve to stabilize the projectile without interfering with the discharge of hot propelling gasses from the rocket nozzle. | 08-23-2012 |
20120164153 | MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AGAINST GLYCOPROTEIN OF EBOLA SUDAN BONIFACE VIRUS - We disclose Ebola Sudan Boniface virus GP Monoclonal antibodies, epitopes recognized by these monoclonal antibodies, and the sequences of the variable regions of some of these antibodies. Also provided are mixtures of antibodies of the present invention, as well as methods of using individual antibodies or mixtures thereof for the detection, prevention, and/or therapeutic treatment of Ebola Sudan Boniface virus infections in vitro and in vivo. | 06-28-2012 |
20110171266 | MALARIA VACCINE - The present invention features immunogenic compositions based on pre-fertilization or post-fertilization antigens expressed in the circulating gametocytes in the peripheral blood of infected persons or on the malaria parastes' stages of develop-ment in the mosquito midgut including extracellular male and female gametes, fertilized zygote and ookinete. The invention also features methods to prevent the transmission of malaria using the immunogenic compositions of the invention. | 07-14-2011 |
20110027388 | Cobalt Hexammine as a Potential Therapeutic Against HIV and/or Ebola Virus - Hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride, also called Cohex, reduces the extent of viral infection, including difficult to treat infections caused by Ebola virus and HIV. Disclosed are methods for treating a viral infection, comprising administering to a patient a cobalt(III) hexammine compound in an amount effective to reduce an extent of a viral infection. Also disclosed are kits for delivery of a cobalt(III) hexammine compound by injection. | 02-03-2011 |
