20090261568 | VEHICULAR SEATBELT RESTRAINT WITH SELECTIVELY DISABLED INERTIA REEL ASSEMBLY - A locking mechanism of an inertia reel assembly of a vehicular seatbelt restraint system is selectively disabled based on a latch status of a seatbelt buckle of the seatbelt restraint system. In one embodiment, a sensor at a latch assembly determines whether the seatbelt buckle is engaged with the latch assembly and provides an output signal based on this determination. A controller receives the output signal and selectively drives an actuator based on the output signal so as to enable or disable the locking mechanism of the inertia reel assembly. By disabling the locking mechanism of the inertia reel assembly when the seatbelt buckle is detected as unlatched, an occupant is able to quickly latch the seatbelt buckle even in the event of an inertial event that otherwise would have prevented any further extension of the seatbelt. | 10-22-2009 |

20130164457 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING PATTERNED X-RAY OPTICAL ELEMENTS - A pulsed laser beam engraves a groove pattern on substrate of material relatively transparent to the laser beam. The grooves of the pattern are filled with a filling material of different density or different electron density. The pattern of grooves filled with material of different density creates a spatial density modulation that forms the basic structure of various optical elements. By adjusting the flux density of the laser beam to exceed a material break-down threshold only in specific locations, the material ablation can be reduced to a diameter smaller than the diameter of the laser beam itself. The grooves fabricated in this manner can be filled with a deformable material under vacuum with subsequent exposure to air pressure or higher pressure. It is also possible to fill the grooves with nanoparticles of different density and secured by heat application or with a coating. | 06-27-2013 |

20120302501 | TREATMENT OF DIABETIC CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH A GLP-1 PEPTIDE - Hibernating myocardium is characterized by viable myocardium with impaired function due to localized reduced perfusion. Hibernating myocytes retain cellular integrity, but cannot sustain high-energy requirements of contraction.

Likewise, high levels of catecholamines lead to cardiomyopathy in patients with diabetes. GLP-1 reduces plasma norepinepherine levels, and it thus is useful in a method of treating hibernating myocardium or diabetic cardiomyopathy. | 11-29-2012 |
