20100221186 | BIOMARKERS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR SIDE-EFFECTS INDUCED BY COX-2 INHIBITORY COMPOUNDS - Cardiovascular tissue mRNA expression profiles in monkeys treated with coxibs was analyzed. Genomic data indicated that the animals showing vasculitis exhibit a specific mRNA expression pattern. The pattern includes gene expression changes involved in blood and endothelial cell (EC) activation, interaction of blood cells with EC, activation of INFγ pathway, and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemo-attractants. These results provide direct evidence of minimal vasculitis together with corresponding genomic signature and peripheral biomarkers for minimal vasculatis. These results also suggest that treatment might triggers/aggravate a clinically latent cardiovascular disorder in the context of an endothelium tropic viral infection and/or an autoimmune vascular disorder. The histopathological examination revealed marginal vascular changes consistent with the genomic findings. Measurement of soluble proteins present in serum and plasma using a multiplex assay were in line with the genomic results, showing the increased level of INFγ inducible proteins, increased expression of CXCL10 chemokine was confirmed by an ELISA both in serum and plasma. Use of these peripheral biomarkers allows a safe usage of cox-2 inhibitory compounds in clinics and selection of cox-2 inhibitory follow-up compounds with no cardiovascular toxicity. These data together with biochemical and histopathological findings suggest that the specific cox2 inhibitor may exaggerate host immune response during some specific viral infections with endothelial tropism, or subjacent vascular autoimmune disorders. | 09-02-2010 |

20150314021 | STERILIZATION METHOD COMPRISING STERILIZATION FLUID AND ULTRASONICALLY GERERATED CAVITATION MICROBUBBLES - A sterilization method and apparatus uses ultrasonic vibrations and a sterilant bath, preferably ozone or hydrogen peroxide, for cleaning, disinfecting or sterilizing an article, whereby the ultrasonic vibrations generate cavitation microbubbles for damaging microbiological forms in the bath or on the article. The cavitation microbubbles have a diameter of 1-20 microns, preferably 1-10 microns. The use of cavitation microbubbles makes the method and apparatus more effective against microbiological forms. The cavitation microbubbles are generated at ultrasonic vibration frequencies above 100 k Hz and up to 2 Mhz, preferably 250 k Hz to 2 MHz and most preferably at about 500 k Hz. | 11-05-2015 |

20140132767 | Parking Information Collection System and Method - An integrated parking information system is disclosed. The system includes a collection system and a means for collection of parking data, and an information provision system and a method for the provision of parking information, for instance, enabling a driver to know exactly which city parking rules and fines apply for any given street parking space, as well as other associated information. The system can notify members about available parking spots through a GPS application that is integrated with phones & in dash Navigation Systems. The system can provide alerts to protect members against parking violations. | 05-15-2014 |

20140113625 | METHOD AND TEST EQUIPMENT FOR AUTOMATICALLY INITIALIZING A MOBILE STATION DURING A TEST - A method automatically initializes a mobile station during a test between a mobile station and a test equipment emulating a single cell of a cellular mobile communication system, wherein the mobile station is initially registered to the cell having a first location area code. First, radio transmission into the cell is terminated by the test equipment. Then, radio transmission is restarted into the cell, but now having a second location area code, wherein the second location area code is different to the first location area code, forcing the mobile station to perform a registration procedure to the cell. | 04-24-2014 |

20140297624 | Systems and Methods for Context Based Search of Simulation Objects - Systems and methods are provided for providing a context-based search of simulation objects. A computer-readable medium configured for storage of objects and records associated with the objects is accessed, where the objects include a plurality of simulation objects and one or more container objects, where a container object is associated with a context of the engineering simulation, where a record associated its associated container record identifies one or more simulation objects that are associated with the container object. A graphical user interface is provided for display. The graphical user interface includes a first control for identifying a context of the simulation for search and a second control for identifying an object parameter for search. A container object is identified based on the identified context. Object parameters of the simulation objects associated with the identified container object are searched using the identified object parameter to identify matching simulation objects. | 10-02-2014 |
20150032420 | Systems and Methods for Creating Engineering Models - A processor-implemented system is provided for creating an engineering model for analyzing a physical object. One or more model operations are performed based at least in part on a computer-assisted-design (CAD) model. An engineering model is generated based at least in part on a mapping data structure that associates the CAD model with the engineering model. | 01-29-2015 |

20120255624 | DRAINAGE BODY - A drainage body is disclosed which comprises at least two substantially identically shaped surface units, that is a base unit and a substantially identically shaped top unit, which are combinable with one another in an installation spacing by way of spacers. It is proposed to form the surface units to be substantially interlockingly stackable in such a manner that the installation spacing of the surface units is considerably larger than their spacing in the stacked condition, whereby the spacers essentially have, for example, a frusto-conical or frusto-pyramid shape with a circumscribed cross-sectional area which becomes smaller as its distance from the surface units increases. As an alternative to this, it may be provided that the spacers are disposed in such a manner on the surface units that the base units and the top units are layable so as to be overlapping one another in the manner of a masonry bond. As a result this creates high stability with simultaneous space-saving storability and transportability. | 10-11-2012 |

20150143260 | State-Machine-Driven User-Interface Interactions - In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a client computing device, an input associated with a user interface of an application. The user interface may include multiple elements. The client computing device may transition from a first state of the application to a second state of the application based on the input. The client computing device may then determine one or more listeners associated with the application that are registered to receive information when the second state of the application is entered. The client computing device may provide information associated with the second state of the application to one or more of the listeners, and the listeners may implement one or more changes to one or more elements of the user interface in response to the transition to the second state of the application. | 05-21-2015 |
