20080286350 | Formulation of Multivalent Antibody Constructs and Use of Same for Cancer Therapy - The invention relates to the formation of multivalent antibody constructs for testing and therapeutic purposes. In one embodiment the constructs consist of antibodies or antibody fragments conjugated to liposomes. The constructs are employed in a cell-based in vitro assay for comparing the therapeutic activity of antibodies or antibody fragments in multivalent form to the same antibodies or fragments in bivalent, free form. The assay is useful for identifying antibodies having potential in vivo activity. Selected antibodies may then be tested in an animal model of a disease state, such as cancer or an autoimmune disorder. Co-delivery of antibodies and chemotherapeutics may also be investigated. In accordance with the invention, a significant enhancement in the activity of antibodies such as trastuzumab and rituximab was observed when these antibodies were presented in the multivalent liposomal form. Key cell survival signaling molecules were down-regulated upon treatment with the multivalent liposomal antibody construct. The invention demonstrates the potential of liposome technology to enhance the therapeutic effect of antibodies via a mechanism that modulates cell survival, likely through clustering of target/antibody complex. | 11-20-2008 |

20150052099 | DISPLAYING HISTORICAL DATA ASSOCIATED WITH DATA VALUES WITHIN BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE REPORTS - The current subject matter describes displaying historical data associated with one or more data values within a business intelligence report. A graphical user interface executed by a computing device can receive, from a user, a request for display of historical data associated with a specified/selected data value in a business intelligence report. Subsequently, a representational state transfer engine (RESTful engine), which can be connected to a server system connected to the computing device, can execute a representational state transfer service (RESTful service) to fetch historical data from current and past instances associated with the data value. Then, the RESTful engine can write the fetched historical data to a file. The RESTful engine can generate or determine a uniform resource locator (URL) to the file, and can send the URL to the computing device. When the URL is selected by the user, the computing device can display the file. | 02-19-2015 |

20140130294 | AUTONOMOUS COVERAGE VACUUM CLEANER HAVING EDGE CLEANING HEAD EASY TO INSTALL AND UNINSTALL - An autonomous coverage vacuum cleaner includes a transmission element driven to rotate and disposed at the bottom of a body, and an edge cleaning head. The transmission element has a lower surface, a positioning recess denting upward from the lower surface and having a non-circular inner profile, and a fixing hole disposed in the positioning recess. The edge cleaning head includes a body, at least a brush extending from the body, a positioning block disposed on the body, and resilient elements extending upward from the positioning block. An outer profile of the positioning block corresponds in shape to the inner profile of the positioning recess. Under an applied force, the resilient elements deform resiliently, get closer to each other, and engage with the fixing holes. The positioning block engages with the positioning recess of the transmission element, such that the transmission elements drive the edge cleaning head to rotate. | 05-15-2014 |
20140137367 | AUTONOMOUS COVERAGE VACUUM CLEANER HAVING ROLLER BRUSH CAPABLE OF RESILIENT VERTICAL DISPLACEMENT AND ROLLER BRUSH FRAME UNIT FOR THE SAME - Provided are an autonomous coverage vacuum cleaner and a roller brush frame unit for use therewith. The autonomous coverage vacuum cleaner includes a body, the roller brush frame unit, and at least a roller brush. The roller brush frame unit includes a roller brush frame, a connection frame, and a resilient connection element. The connection frame is disposed at a bottom of the body. The resilient connection element is connected between the roller brush frame and the connection frame. The roller brush frame moves vertically relative to the connection frame and the body when subjected to an external force. The roller brush is rotatably disposed at the roller brush frame. The roller brush frame unit enables the roller brush of the autonomous coverage vacuum cleaner to lift and drop resiliently and automatically according to the condition of the floor. | 05-22-2014 |
20150230680 | Trash Detecting Device and Automatic Vacumm cleaner Using the Same - A trash detecting device used in an automatic vacuum cleaner is disclosed to include a trash box defining therein a trash chamber, and an ultrasonic detection module mounted in the trash box. The ultrasonic detection module includes a control circuit, a transmitter electrically connected to the control circuit and controllable by the control circuit to transmit an ultrasonic signal toward the trash chamber, and a receiver electrically connected to the control circuit and adapted for receiving an eco signal created by the ultrasonic signal being reflected off a trash in the trash chamber and transmitting the eco signal to the control circuit for processing and causing the control circuit to output an examination signal, and thus, the trash detecting device is able to detect whether the trash amount in the trash box has reached saturation. | 08-20-2015 |

20110229555 | INTRAVENOUS CURCUMIN AND DERIVATIVES FOR TREATMENT OF NEURODEGENERATIVE AND STRESS DISORDERS - Liposomal formulations and polymer conjugates of curcumin, curcumin analogues and derivatives thereof for parenteral administration are disclosed herein. The formulations are effective in the treatment of progressive supranuclear palsy, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Tauopathies or stress disorders including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Curcumin crosses the blood brain barrier, localizes in the hippocampus and striata, prevents stress-induced neuronal cell damage, and stimulates neurogenesis and remediation of damaged neural circuits. | 09-22-2011 |

20150233758 | Electronic Fence Generator - An electronic fence generator includes a cylindrical body, a ground stake downwardly extended from the bottom of the cylindrical body, and an ultrasonic transmitter, an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver mounted in the cylindrical body. The ultrasonic transmitter is adapted for transmitting an ultrasonic signal to create a collision avoidance range around the cylindrical body. The infrared transmitter is adapted for transmitting an infrared signal in a signal transmitting direction. The infrared receiver is adapted for receiving an infrared signal from another electronic fence generator in a signal receiving direction different from the signal transmitting direction. Thus, the electronic fence generator can be used for creating a virtual electronic fence for restricting an automatic lawn mower to the range defined by the electronic fence. | 08-20-2015 |
