20100291604 | PREDICTIVE TREATMENT OF DYSGLYCEMIC EXCURSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH DIABETES MELLITUS - A predictive technique for treating diabetes mellitus is described whereby a patient's blood glucose levels are monitored “continuously” over an extended period of time and a life-event diary is maintained records all significant life-events (e.g., food intake, medication, exercise, mood/emotions, etc.). This information is analyzed to derive a mathematical model that closely matches the patient's glucose level variations for the period of monitoring. Specific daily time periods of dysglycemic vulnerability are determined by calculating when the mathematical model predicts that crossings of predetermined hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic threshold levels will occur. These predicted periods of vulnerability are then used to devise a therapeutic plan that administers treatment in anticipation of predicted dysglycemic excursions, thereby limiting the extent of those excursions or eliminating them altogether. | 11-18-2010 |

20130288052 | SILICONE-MODIFIED ADHESIVES WITH ANTI-SLIP PROPERTIES - Adhesive compositions, including pressure sensitive adhesives, are the reaction product of free radically polymerizable mixtures. The free radically polymerizable mixtures include a free radically polymerizable urethane-based or urea-based oligomer, a free radically polymerizable segmented siloxane-based copolymer, and an initiator. The free radically polymerizable mixture may contain additional reactive and/or unreactive additives. The adhesive compositions can be used to prepare a variety of adhesive articles. | 10-31-2013 |
20130337260 | METHODS FOR PREPARING OPTICALLY CLEAR ADHESIVES AND COATINGS - Optically clear adhesive or coating layers can be prepared by preparing a curable mixture, coating the curable mixture to form a layer, partially curing the curable mixture, drying the coated layer, and fully curing the curable mixture. The curable mixture may also be partially cured and then coated, dried and fully cured. The curable mixture includes two free radically polymerizable monomer compositions that are relatively incompatible and a transient compatibilizer, such as a solvent. Polymers of the two monomer compositions, if polymerized separately and blended, form phase separated domains. The curable mixture provides for adhesive or coating layers that are optically clear. | 12-19-2013 |
20140204464 | LIGHT CONTROL FILM - The present disclosure provides a light control film that is capable of transmitting light, or allowing a viewer to observe information, only within a viewing region centered around the normal (perpendicular line) to a surface. The light control film generally blocks information or light outside of this viewing region, and provides security in all directions including right-and-left and up-and-down of the film. The light control film includes a plurality of light-transmissive cavities that are surrounded by a light absorbing material, such that each of the plurality of cavities is optically isolated from adjacent cavities. Each of the light-transmissive cavities effectively block light which enters the cavity outside of a viewing (that is, cutoff) angle. | 07-24-2014 |
20150049384 | RETROREFLECTING OPTICAL CONSTRUCTION - Retroreflecting optical constructions are disclosed. A disclosed retroreflecting optical construction includes a retroreflecting layer that has a retroreflecting structured major surface, and an optical film that is disposed on the retroreflecting structured major surface of the retroreflecting layer. The optical film has an optical haze that is not less than about 30%. Substantial portions of each two neighboring major surfaces in the retroreflecting optical construction are in physical contact with each other. | 02-19-2015 |

20100012617 | PLASTIC BOTTLE WITH SUPERIOR TOP LOAD STRENGTH - A plastic bottle has a champagne base that includes a planar standing ring located between a lower margin of a convex heel of the base and a lowermost portion of a central concavity within the standing ring. By making the inside vertical radius of the convex heel lower margin and central concavity lowermost portion sufficiently small, the bottle is shown to exhibit increased top load strength without any increase in plastic. The bottle also has a larger standing ring diameter leading to a more stable bottle. | 01-21-2010 |

20090319422 | SECURE ELECTRONIC PAYMENT MESSAGING SYSTEM WITH RECONCILABLE FINALITY - A transfer network system for providing communications between commercial buyers and suppliers and their respective banks is provided. Client systems in communication with the transfer network system operate under a secure legal and technical regime in order to provide an architecture that supports the exchange of messages to conduct commerce. This commerce may include instructions related to the transfer of funds directly from an account of the buyer to the supplier. Because of the secure legal and technical framework, this financial transaction can be conducted in real-time and finalized in real-time without the need for delay or the use of clearinghouse to settle the transaction. | 12-24-2009 |
20110208961 | SECURE MESSAGING SYSTEM - A method for secure data transactions over a computer network is described. In one embodiment, the act of generating at the first party a document, which authorizes the data transaction to proceed is performed. In one embodiment, the document content is signed using a computer network with audit-level encryption digital certificates. In one embodiment, a signed digital message (and/or document) is sent from the first party to the network transfer system electronically, and can be authenticated via the ICN certificate authorities to demonstrate the authorities of the signer of the signed document in assent to the transaction. In one embodiment, a copy of the signed digital document can be stored in a database associated with the transfer network system. In one embodiment, the system uses rules (patterns) of exchange agreed upon within and between organizations. These rules enable the exchange to progress smoothly and drive systematically the attention of participants to demands and problems etc. as a given transaction goes along. | 08-25-2011 |
