20090112208 | EXTERNAL BONE SCREW SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE FOR FRACTURES, FUSIONS OR OSTEOTOMIES - A bone screw system is disclosed. The bone screw system allows a bone screw to be inserted into a bone via a guide set with a plurality of pins. After the bone screw is inserted, a head portion of an extension member attached to the bone screw remains external to the wound such that the bone screw can be tightened later without re-opening the wound. The bone screw system is applicable to bone fractures, bone fusions, Osteomonies and other bone connectivity procedures. After healing, the bone screw may be left in the patient by removing an upper portion or the screw may be removed with additional incisions and a local anesthetic. | 04-30-2009 |
20100069814 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UTILIZING MICROBUBBLES AND LIPOSOMES AS VIRAL SEQUESTERING AGENTS - A system and method of utilizing microbubbles and liposomes as viral sequestering agents. Microbubbles and liposomes having polyanions and conjugation systems are injected into the bloodstream of a subject human or animal. The microbubbles and/or liposomes attract virus particles including envelope viruses. After the microbubbles and/or liposomes have circulated in the blood for a pre-established time period, the microbubbles and/or liposomes along with attached virus particles are separated from the blood of the subject by passing the blood over or through a substrate or using a centrifuge. The substrate includes a conjugation system which has an affinity for the polyanions of the microbubbles and/or liposomes. As the microbubbles and/or liposomes and attached virus particles are removed from the blood, the viral titer of the subject is lowered. The microbubbles and/or liposomes may also be mixed with blood and filtered outside of the subject such that the microbubbles and/or liposomes are never in the bloodstream of the subject. | 03-18-2010 |

20130225442 | Lung Cancer Tests - Methods for the diagnosis of lung cancer and more specifically, non-small cell lung cancer are described. An assortment of biomarkers with diagnostic or prognostic value for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are used to establish a multi-analyte serum test capable of diagnosing patients with lung cancer. A first method assesses an elevated level of expression of one or more nucleic acids, a polypeptide encoded by the nucleic acid or an autoantibody to said polypeptide. An alternative method includes (a) determining whether or not a patient has NSCLC versus a non-NSCLC lung cancer, and (b) classifying the patient as susceptible to specific treatments if the patient has a NSCLC profile and classifying the patient as not susceptible to a specific treatment if the patient does not have a NSCLC profile. | 08-29-2013 |
20140274772 | BIOMARKER PANEL FOR DETECTING LUNG CANCER - A method and a kit for assessing risk of lung cancer versus benign disease in a subject are provided. The method includes obtaining a biological sample from the subject and determining a measurement for a panel of biomarkers in the biological sample. The panel includes at least two biomarkers selected from the group consisting of IL-6, IL-1ra, IL-10, SDF-1α+β, TNF-α, MIP-1α, sIL-2Rα, CA-125, sE-Selectin, Eotaxin, sEGFR, MMP-2, OPN, MCP-1, CRP, sICAM-1 and CYFRA 21.1. The method further includes comparing the measurement to a reference profile for the panel of biomarkers, sorting the subject into a group and determining whether the subject is at risk for lung cancer based on the group. | 09-18-2014 |

20090141962 | REMOTE DEPOSIT CAPTURE FOR THE GAMING INDUSTRY - A remote deposit capture system for distributed processing of check presentation can sense, or be instructed to differentiate, between deposit document types, including checks, cash withdrawals, and casino markets. Thereby, automated recognition and correction features can be selectively applied to an imaged deposit document. Thereby deposit documents that tend to use identical transaction codes, such as the same routing/transit numbers in magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) code line data, can be effectively processed without a high failure rate due to duplicate detection. Yet the advantages of duplicate detection are still leveraged against other deposit types. Alternatively or in addition, duplicate detection can be selected to not depend upon uniqueness of MICR code line data. | 06-04-2009 |

20130092107 | WAX-TYPE THERMOSTAT WITH WAX OVERHEATING SAFETY MEANS - A wax-type thermostat for the cooling system of an internal combustion engine (ICE) is provided. The cooling system includes a radiator and a coolant loop circuit linking the radiator to the internal combustion engine, and having a by-pass conduit. The thermostat includes a thermostat body with a radiator inlet, an ICE inlet, via the by-pass conduit, and an ICE outlet. The thermostat further includes a piston integral to a closure element that opens or close a thermostat internal pathway connecting the radiator inlet to the ICE outlet, and a wax chamber thermally connected to the coolant within the thermostat body. The thermostat includes a first spring to return the closure element towards its closing position, and means for moving the piston when a volume variation in the wax occurs. | 04-18-2013 |

20090314463 | Radiant Panel - A radiant panel which can be used for heating or cooling and in floors, walls and ceilings, has a honeycomb layer of vertical metal webs or fins and rigid upper and lower cover boards rigidly adhered to upper and lower surfaces of the honeycomb layer. The upper cover board has router-cut channel there through, the channel having a width and being elongated in the shape of a selected pattern for at least one heat transfer tube that extends along the channel in the selected pattern. The tube is pressed into the honeycomb layer past the upper surface of the honeycomb layer for at least partly crushing the metal webs or fins of honeycomb layer in the areas of the channel for establishing a heat transfer engagement between the tube and the honeycomb layer. Dragon Board Brand construction board is preferred as the cover boards, the honeycomb layer as preferably aluminum and a heat reflecting layer is preferably adhered to the lower surface of the lower cover board. | 12-24-2009 |
