20110223139 | RAPID PREPARATION OF STEM CELL MATRICES FOR USE IN TISSUE AND ORGAN TREATMENT AND REPAIR - A rapid method for preparing stem cell and physiologically acceptable matrix compositions for use in tissue and organ repair is described. Compared with previous tissue engineering materials, the stem cell-matrix compositions of the present invention do not require long-term incubation or cultivation in vitro prior to use in in vivo applications. The stem cells can be from numerous sources and may be homogeneous, heterogeneous, autologous, and/or allogeneic in the matrix material. The stem cell-matrix compositions provide point of service utility for the practitioner, wherein the stem cells and matrix can be combined not long before use, thereby alleviating costly and lengthy manufacturing procedures. In addition, the stem cells offer unique structural properties to the matrix composition which improves outcome and healing after use. Use of stem cells obtained from muscle affords contractility to the matrix composition. | 09-15-2011 |

20100228684 | Computerized method for open-ended investments - The investment liquidation and purchase adjustment method is an investment model for open-ended investments that takes into account the net asset value (NAV) of the mutual fund and an accumulated stock brokerage transaction commission fees. The accumulated commission fees are added to the net asset value per share prior to the purchase of shares of the mutual fund. Alternatively, the accumulated commission fees are subtracted from the net asset value per share prior to the liquidation of the shares. These additional fees flow into the assets of the mutual fund. As accumulated brokerage transaction commissions change each day because of the trading of the positions in the mutual fund, the brokerage transaction commission's percentage change on a daily basis, too. This also solves the problem of maintaining the true asset value for existing shareholders when there are share liquidations by existing shareholders, protecting the true asset value for the remaining existing shareholders. | 09-09-2010 |

20130054150 | SYSTEM FOR TRACKING FEMALE FERTILITY - Described herein are various principles related to collecting and charting fertility data for a female (e.g., female humans). A dedicated device may be used to collect fertility data regarding the female. The device may include a thermometer for collecting a body temperature of the female as well as an interface for collecting data regarding a consistency and/or amount of a cervical fluid of the female. Once collected by the dedicated device, the fertility data may be transmitted wirelessly from the dedicated device via a wireless network (e.g., a wireless local area network) to a server that collects fertility data. The fertility data may then be displayed in a graph that enables a user to make determinations about a fertility cycle of the female, including determinations about times of high fertility. For example, from viewing the relationship between two lines included in the graph, the user may make determinations regarding fertility. | 02-28-2013 |
