20080271839 | METHOD AND TOOL FOR CREATING A PASSIVE SHIM LOCATION WITHIN A GRADIENT COIL - A method for creating a passive shim location in a gradient coil assembly of a magnetic resonance imaging system includes placing at least one tool in a volume between an inner gradient coil assembly and an outer gradient coil assembly. The tool includes an inner core and an outer sleeve. The inner core is removably housed in the outer sleeve. The volume is then filled with a bonding material. Once the bonding material has cured, the inner core is removed from the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve may also be removed from the volume. | 11-06-2008 |

20090200257 | VENTED BABY BOTTLE - Baby bottles can have a single container, or two containers to create a space for thermal isolation, as selected by the user. The baby bottle can be vented to allow air to enter the bottle through a passageway as liquid is removed. A filter and one-way valve can be provided in the passageway. The passageway can be formed by radially aligning a vent opening in a top cap with a vent opening in a nipple flange, or by providing a channel in the top cap which is always in radial alignment with both the top cap vent opening and the flange vent opening. | 08-13-2009 |

20080228134 | Methods to store human breast milk - Methods for storing human breast milk, preserving its natural flavor and nutritional content. Through the use of an apparatus such as a breast pump, breast milk is expressed from a lactating woman. The milk is transferred through a fill line into a storage container. After the container is substantially filled with breast milk, the fill line is decoupled from the breast pump output, and a vacuum is applied to the line. After the remaining air is evacuated from the container, an isolation valve in the fill line is closed, sealing the container in an evacuated condition. The fill line is removed from the valve, and the container is placed into a freezer or refrigerator for storage. When ready for use, the container is removed from the freezer or refrigerator, the milk is thawed, and the vacuum is broken, allowing removal of the milk for transfer to a bottle. | 09-18-2008 |
20110179569 | BEDRAIL FOR CONVERTIBLE CRIB - A bed rail including first and second legs for attachment to a bed or crib. The legs fit between the mattress and the mattress support frame extending transversely from one side of the crib to the other. The proximate end of each leg is pivotally attached to a respective lower corner of an elongated side panel. Raised, the side panel extends vertically above the mattress to provide a safety restraint on one side of the crib. Unlocked, the panel may be swung into a lowered position. Means is also provided for securing the distal end of the legs to the mattress support frame at a location on the other side of the crib. Also disclosed is a safety bolster for use with the bed rail including an upper head portion extending above the mattress and a lower foot portion extending between the mattress and said side panel. | 07-28-2011 |

20090014983 | System and method for preventing rattling in receiver hitch arrangement - The present invention prevents rattling in a receiver hitch arrangement including a receiver tube, a mount having a shank portion received within the receiver tube and a hitch pin inserted through hitch pin apertures which are formed in both the receiver tube and the shank portion and which are aligned at assembly to maintain the mount in a position for towing. Such rattling is caused due to movement between hitch components and is prevented by forming a pair of through and threaded apertures in at least one predetermined wall of the receiver tube and in close proximity to a free end thereof, threadeably engaging a threaded shank of a fastener with each of the pair of apertures and then operably advancing each fastener for direct contact with the shank portion of the mount inserted into the receiver tube until the shank portion is frictionally caged and immobilized. | 01-15-2009 |

20160003858 | ANALYTE EXTRACTION APPARATUS AND METHOD - Disclosed is a method and apparatus for determining a concentration of a glycopeptide antibiotic containing a phenol moiety such as Vancomycin in a complex sample matrix by extracting the glycopeptide antibiotic from a metered portion of the complex sample matrix by exposing said metered portion to an extraction material having an affinity with the glycopeptide antibiotic; and exposing the extraction material to a metered portion of an eluent for releasing the glycopeptide antibiotic from the extraction material; and by determining a concentration of the glycopeptide antibiotic by adding a Gibbs reagent (2,6 dichloroquinone-4chloroimide) to the metered portion of the complex sample matrix or the eluent; activating the Gibbs reagent and, after the reaction between the activated Gibbs reagent and the antibiotic has stabilized; detecting the reaction product of the activated Gibbs reagent and the antibiotic in said eluent; and determining the concentration of the antibiotic in the complex sample matrix from the detected reaction product. A method of designing a personalized drug administration regime using the thus obtained concentration is also disclosed. | 01-07-2016 |
