20100234379 | Dual modulation of endocannabinoid transport and fatty-acid amide hydrolase for treatment of excitotoxicity - The endocannabinoid transporter and FAAH are sites of modulation that allow pharmacological enhancement of protective endocannabinergic signals. Selective inhibitors of the transporter and inhibitors of FAAH caused additive augmentation of endogenous signaling events mediated by the cannabinoid CB1 receptor. Disruption of such signals has been shown to prevent neuronal maintenance processes and increase vulnerability to brain damage. Here, blocking endocannabinoid inactivation enhanced cannabinergic activity and ameliorated cellular disturbances associated with excitotoxicity. Modulating the endocannabinoid system in this way also prevented excitotoxic behavioral abnormalities including memory impairment. Collectively, these results indicate that increasing endocannabinoid responses by inhibiting the endocannabinoid transported and/or the inhibiting FAAH leads to molecular, cellular, and functional protection against excitotoxic insults like stroke and traumatic brain injury. | 09-16-2010 |

20130086873 | TRANSLATABLE HEAT SHRINK OVEN FOR APPLYING HEAT SHRINK FILM TO A SILICONE RUBBER BLADDER - A heat shrink apparatus for heat shrinking a shrink film to a bladder. The heat shrink apparatus may include a support structure, a bladder support system, and a heat chamber. The bladder support system for supporting the bladder thereon may have two spaced apart parallel rows of a plurality of resilient members pivotally and/or resiliently attached to the support structure. The heat chamber may be hollow with opposing end openings and may have one or more heating elements therein. The heat chamber may translate over the shrink film and the bladder along the support structure between the two spaced apart parallel rows, shrinking the shrink film to the bladder. As the heat chamber translates, it may contact ends of the resilient members, thereby pivoting or deflecting the resilient members from a first position to a second position such that the heat chamber can pass between the two parallel rows. | 04-11-2013 |
20130161850 | AUTOCLAVE HEALTH MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM - A bladder monitoring apparatus and method for monitoring an inflatable bladder during curing of composite material in an autoclave. The bladder may be wrapped with composite material and have an impermeable membrane sealed around the composite material. The method may include the steps of fluidly coupling a vacuum port of the impermeable membrane with a vacuum source and fluidly coupling a vent of the bladder with a first port of a flow meter located outward of the autoclave. A second port of the flow meter may also be fluidly coupled with atmosphere within the autoclave. The method may then include evacuating air from within the impermeable membrane. If a flow above a threshold flow is detected by the flow meter, the leak in the bladder may be located and repaired or a valve of the flow meter between the first and second ports may be closed. | 06-27-2013 |

20140263143 | Articulated Arm Lifting System - A lifting system for semiconductor processing equipment utilized in a cleanroom environment. The lifting system comprises of an articulating arm, a base, a load indicator, a capture tool and a wirelessly controlled hoist motor unit with float control. The float control allows precise positioning and movement of the load without requiring use of up and down controls of the wireless remote. Covers and the bellows positioned on and coupled with the arm assembly reduce contamination caused by a wire rope extending from the arm. A load indicator shows the system coming under load while holding the load stationary. A capture tool provides quick release and ease of grabbing the load with the use of a capture pin. A rotary electrical collector provides a full 360 degrees of rotation of the articulating arm from the base, in both directions. This lifting solution provides high cleanliness and ease of use. | 09-18-2014 |

20100120957 | PROCESSES FOR MAKING COPOLYMERS USING MACROCYCLIC OLIGOESTERS, AND COPOLYMERS THEREFROM - The invention provides alternatives to traditional polycondensation processes for preparing copolymers. For example, in certain embodiments, the invention provides a process that includes an extrusion step and a solid state polymerization step to prepare high molecular weight block copolymer with a “hard block” contributed by a macrocyclic polyester oligomer (MPO) and a “soft block” contributed by a dihydroxyl-functionalized polymer, an oligoether, and/or a dimerized fatty acid (i.e. a polyol). The invention also provides new copolymer compositions made possible by the new processes—for example, copolymers of higher molecular weight, copolymers with higher weight ratio of soft block units to hard block units, copolymers made with higher molecular weight polyol, and copolymers with hard block units that are themselves random copolyesters of units contributed by a MPO and a cyclic ester. | 05-13-2010 |

20140163397 | Gas Exchange Testing and Auxiliary Gas Delivery Apparatus - A gas exchange testing system has an apparatus for delivery of an auxiliary gas during a gas exchange test. Measurements representing physiological parameters of a patient are made during the gas exchange test. The auxiliary gas is delivered so that a gas exchange test can be performed on a patient who requires auxiliary gas. Additionally, the auxiliary gas is delivered so that gas exchange testing can determine if the auxiliary gas is beneficial and which concentration of the auxiliary gas is most beneficial. A testing process compares measurements under a condition where the auxiliary gas is delivered and under a condition where it is not delivered. Another testing process compares measurements under a condition where one auxiliary gas is delivered and under a condition where a different auxiliary gas is delivered. | 06-12-2014 |
