20120210734 | Production and use of high pressure for cryopreservation and cryofixation - Methods and devices are described for the concurrent delivery of elevated pressures and low temperatures to a sample, typically but not exclusively a biological sample. A medium that expands on cooling and/or freezing is employed with a sample immersed therein, typically but not exclusively encased in a sample container. Cooling the medium lowers the temperature and applies pressure to the sample such that reduced damage to a typical biosample occurs. Relatively long-lived metastable phases are also produced, including both metastable liquids and solids, without the need for very rapid cooling steps as required in conventional achievement of such metastable phases. Preliminary test data are also presented. | 08-23-2012 |

20120125245 | Thread Guide For Sewing And Embroidery Machines - A thread guide device for use with sewing and embroidering machines is adjustable to accommodate a variety of differently dimensioned thread spools or cones and is adapted for use with machines having a horizontally disposed thread spool support rod. The thread guide device includes a base having a support rod for supporting a spool or cone of thread on a rotor journalled for rotation on the support rod and dimensioned for insertion into the core of a spool or cone of thread. The rotor has a tapered end portion for accommodating spools or cones of different sizes. A wire loop thread guide secured to the base and mounted for selective lateral adjustment relative to the support rod has a first portion disposed within a slot of a slotted arm and a second portion provided with a coil wrapped around the slotted arm. A set screw secures a tapered retaining cap having a central axial aperture receiving the support rod to the support rod. A free floating thread retaining ring placed over an upper portion of a core of a thread spool or cone, allowing thread to be fed between the retaining ring and the core. A support ball mounted in an adjusted position along on the support rod by a set screw limits off-center movement of a thread spool or cone. The thread guide may be mounted on a ball having a cylindrical aperture slidably receiving the adjustment rod therethrough, such that the thread guide is selectively and independently adjustable in two perpendicular linear directions and also mounted for selective and independent adjustment around a first axis of rotation and a second perpendicular axis of rotation. | 05-24-2012 |

20120018223 | POLYCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND CUTTING ELEMENT AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A polycrystalline diamond cutting (PDC) element of a drill bit of a downhole drilling tool is provided. The PDC element having a substrate, a diamond table and at least one pattern. The diamond table has an initial cutting edge along a periphery thereof. The pattern integrally formed within the diamond table. The pattern(s) defining at least one discontinuity about the diamond table that, in operation, selectively breaks away upon impact to create new cutting edges in the diamond table whereby a sharp cutting edge is continuously exposed to a material being cut. | 01-26-2012 |

20150314625 | HIGH RESOLUTION LASER LABELING OF MICROSCOPIC GLASS SLIDES AND HISTOLOGICAL SECTIONS - The present invention is directed to a device and a laser, eye-safe method for laser marking slides for use in conjunction with a light microscope. The device is an attachment for a light microscope that allows the operator to make marks on preparations of biological tissues or other materials placed on a glass slide or between a glass slide and a cover slip. The marks can be used to indicate or highlight a microscopic structure or feature of interest. The marking on the slide is performed as the specimen is examined, without having to remove it from the microscope stage. In this way the invention has application in a biomedical or pathology laboratory for diagnostic, research, archival, and teaching or training purposes. | 11-05-2015 |

20130296756 | POSTURE RETAINING BACK BRACE, BACKPACK STRUCTURAL SUPPORT OR BODY GARMENT - A posture support system, which may alternatively act as a structural support for a backpack and/or be incorporated in a body garment or undergarment, employs a pair of contoured cap sleeves which cradle the humeral heads so as to extend over the scapulas and down over the humerus. The forward end extends as a strap under one of the armpits and connects at its end to the top of a vertically extending central strap extending over the spine. The central strap connects to a waist encircling lumbar support strap. The posterior strap-like ends of the shoulder caps extend over the back and also connect to the top of the spinal strap. By use of adjustable connections to a central disk at the top of the back strap and elastic fabrics in the straps, the shoulders are pulled rearwardly and downwardly so that the body weight is supported over the hips. | 11-07-2013 |

20080216807 | Archery arrow rest - A fall-away archery arrow rest includes a pair of spaced arrow gripping launcher arms, at least portions of which may be constructed from an elastically deformable material, such as PTFE (TEFLON trademark), plastic, or spring steel such that the arms flex apart slightly upon insertion of an arrow. The launcher arms are mounted upon a rotatable launcher head biased by a spring to move the launcher arms forwardly and downwardly upon release of an arrow supported between the launcher arms. The launcher arms may include juxtaposed notch portions to engage an arrow shaft in a centered alignment between the arms. The launcher arms may include crossed portions, a V-shaped configuration, or substantially straight arms disposed in a generally parallel relation. The arrow rest includes a mounting block system which allows independent vertical and lateral adjustment of the launcher arm position within the bow window. Additional mechanisms allow independent adjustment of the rotatable launcher head spring bias tension and also angular adjustment of the launcher arm angle. In use, an archer nocks an arrow to a bow string and rotates the launcher head rearwardly, positioning the launcher arm upright in the bow window. The archer positions the arrow shaft between the launcher arms, such that the arrow will be held in position by the launcher arms. The archer then draws the bow, which causes the arrow shaft to slide rearwardly between the launcher arms. When the archer releases the arrow, the initial forward motion of the arrow causes the arrow shaft to separate from engagement with the launcher arms, thereby liberating the arrow and allowing the rotatable launcher head to rotate forwardly by virtue of the spring bias, causing the attached launcher arms to rotate forwardly and downwardly away from the arrow's flight path, thus providing completely unimpeded clearance for the arrow fletching and vanes. | 09-11-2008 |

20120238903 | Method of Detecting Neurological Disease - A method and apparatus are provided for the differential diagnosis of a patient with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) from a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD). One method includes identifying a plurality of partially repetitive eye movements that over time define square wave jerks, each square wave jerk of the plurality of square wave jerks defined by a first horizontal saccadic movement that moves the eye away from a fixation target followed by a corrective saccadic movement towards the target shortly thereafter, measuring a vertical component associated with the plurality of square wave jerks, comparing the vertical component with a threshold value. PSP or PD is identified by comparison of the vertical component with the threshold value. In another embodiment, a patient's saccade rate is determined and compared to a threshold value, and PSP or PD is identified based upon the comparison of the saccade rate with the threshold value. | 09-20-2012 |

20100277693 | METHOD OF DETECTING NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE - A method and apparatus are provided for characterizing square wave jerks in the eye movements of a person, which may provide a powerful tool in the differential diagnosis of oculomotor and neurological disease. The method includes the steps of a) providing a sequence of saccades, b) identifying pairs of consecutive saccades of the sequence, c) determining whether each saccade of each identified pair is opposite the direction of the other saccade and, if not, then discarding the pair, d) determining whether a magnitude of each saccade of each identified pair is comparable and, if not, then discarding the pair, e) determining whether the pair of saccades of each identified pair are temporally related by a predetermined time period and, if not, then discarding the pair and f) collecting any remaining pairs of saccades as square wave jerks. | 11-04-2010 |
