| 20080319164 | SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATION OF A FAMILY OF NEW MATERIALS RESULTING FROM THE CHEMICAL CROSS-LINKING BETWEEN GELATINE AND ORGANIC SALTS - The Scheme (I) illustrates the synthesis mechanism of the new materials. This invention involves the combination of gelatine with organic salts in the solid or liquid state. For that purpose, gelatines of several origins (animal, microbial, vegetal) can be used. | 12-25-2008 |

| 20090118398 | Material to be injection molded, process thereof, and use therefore - The present invention refers to an adequate composite material to be prepared by an injection process and to an injection process of a composite material. In accordance with the process of the present invention, the composite material is prepared by carrying out the steps of (i) making the length of the natural fibers uniform; (ii) treating the surface of the natural fibers and of the lignocellulosic residues, if present; (iii) premixing the components of the composite; (iv) extruding and granulating the composite material; and (v) injection molding the material of the composite for the conformation of the parts. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20120100996 | GENETIC MARKER IDENTIFICATION IN ATLANTIC COD - The present application describes SNPs useful for the genetic analysis of Atlantic cod. Also described are QTLs and SNP marker associations for commercially important traits such as weight, nodavirus resistance, resistance to stress and for determining geographic origin. The application also provides methods and uses of the SNPs for identifying family members and/or estimating relatedness, marker assisted selection, breeding programs, population management, identification of geographic origin and trait-association studies. A SNP-based linkage map for Atlantic cod is also provided. | 04-26-2012 |

| 20110144657 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE LIKELIHOOD OF ENDOCARDIAL BAROTRAUMA IN TISSUE DURING ABLATION - A method and system for determining a likelihood of barotrauma occurring in tissue during the formation of a lesion therein is provided. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU is configured to acquire at least one value of at least one component of a complex impedance between an electrode and the tissue. The ECU is further configured to calculate an index responsive to the at least one value of the at least one complex impedance component. The index is indicative of a likelihood of barotrauma occurring in the tissue. The method comprises acquiring at least one value of at least one component of a complex impedance between an electrode and the tissue. The method further comprises calculating an index responsive to the at least one value of the at least one complex impedance component. The calculating index is indicative of a likelihood of barotrauma occurring in the tissue. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20120029504 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRESENTING INFORMATION REPRESENTATIVE OF LESION FORMATION IN TISSUE DURING AN ABLATION PROCEDURE - A method and system for presenting information representative of lesion formation is provided. The system comprises an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU is configured to acquire a value for an ablation description parameter and/or a position signal metric, wherein the value corresponds to a location in the tissue. The ECU is further configured to evaluate the value, assign it a visual indicator of a visualization scheme associated with the parameter/metric corresponding to the value, and generate a marker comprising the visual indicator such that the marker is indicative of the acquired value. The method comprises acquiring a value for the parameter/metric, and evaluating the value. The method further includes assigning a visual indicator of a visualization scheme associated with the parameter/metric corresponding to the value, and generating a marker comprising the visual indicator. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120089038 | Method and system for identifying cardiac arrhythmia driver sites - A method of identifying potential driver sites for cardiac arrhythmias includes acquiring a plurality of electrograms from a plurality of locations on at least a portion of a patient's heart. Using the acquired electrograms, at least one electrical activity map is generated. Desirable electrical activity maps include complex fractionated electrogram standard deviation and mean maps, dominant frequency maps, peak-to-peak voltage maps, and activation sequence maps. Using one or more of these maps (e.g., by analyzing one or more electrogram morphological characteristics represented by these maps), at least one potential driver site can be detected. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20090217917 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method for controlling an internal combustion engine that is to be operated either by petrol or alcohol or by a variable proportion of the two fuels and that includes an electronic control unit that can drive the engine, an admission line, and an exhaust line that includes a richness probe. The method determines the richness of the carbide mixture entering into the combustion cylinders, and increases the duration of the injection by intervals according to the richness of the carbide mixture. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090301408 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE INITIAL OPENING OF A THERMOSTAT REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A device for controlling opening of a cooling circuit control valve system of an internal combustion engine, containing a coolant, which is automatically opened under effect of a cooling liquid being heated to a standard temperature. The control performs an early controlled opening of the control valve system of a cooling circuit located upstream of a heat exchanger before the temperature of the cooling liquid reaches a set temperature value for activating the opening of the control valve system, which is itself lower than the standard temperature, the controlled opening being performed only when the control valve system is first opened. | 12-10-2009 |
