20090201130 | RFID TAG WITH USER-CONTROLLED KILL MECHANISM - An inexpensive disabling or kill mechanism is provided for an RFID tag to allow a user to decide when to disable the tag and to initiate the kill process. RFID tag antenna circuitry is partially or wholly covered with an oxidation-retardant coating. The activation-retardant coating includes a grippable pull tab. When a user decides he or she no longer wants a functional RFID tag, the user can use the pull tab to remove the least a selectable area of the oxidation-retardant coating. Removing the selectable area will expose at least part of the antenna to begin an oxidizing process that will eventually disable the antenna. An oxidizing agent may be deposited on the antenna before the oxidation-retardant coating is put in place. When exposed to ambient environment, the oxidizing agent may accelerate the oxidation process that disables the antenna. | 08-13-2009 |

20130196267 | NEAR-INFRARED SENSITIVE, POSITIVE-WORKING, IMAGE FORMING COMPOSITION AND PHOTOGRAPHIC ELEMENT CONTAINING A 1,1-DI[(ALKYLPHENOXY)ETHOXY]CYCLOHEXANE - An infrared sensitive, positive-working, image forming composition and element are disclosed. The image forming composition comprises a 1,1-di[(alkylphenoxy)ethoxy]cyclohexane, an infrared absorbing dye having a maximum absorption peak in the range of from about 700 nm to about 1100 nm, and a novolac polymer. The composition is applied and dried on a planar, hydrophilic substrate to form an image forming element, in particular, a planographic printing plate. Upon imagewise exposure to a near-infrared radiation source, the infrared dye absorbs light in the exposed areas and converts it to heat, which causes a disruption in the matrix of the image forming composition. Upon development with an aqueous alkaline developer, the exposed areas are removed while the nonexposed areas remain, thus forming a positive image. | 08-01-2013 |

20160030175 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THERAPY OF MITRAL VALVE - Devices and methods are described for treating a mitral valve defect. The device described includes features that allow the device to conform to the actual pathology of the valve, rather than attempting to replicate a healthy valve (which the patient does not have). In this way, the device allows the patient's actual value to work as well as possible, given the valve's diseased condition. The actual pathology of the valve is accommodated by providing for multiple dimensions of adjustability of the device, including adjustability of the size (e.g., diameter) of the device as well as adjustability of the elevation or inclination of one portion of the device (e.g., the portion supporting the posterior leaflet) with respect to another portion of the device. | 02-04-2016 |
