Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090087890METHODS OF PRODUCING ORGANIC PRODUCTS WITH PHOTOSYNTHETIC ORGANISMS AND PRODUCTS AND COMPOSITIONS THEREOF - Provided herein are compositions and methods for producing products by photosynthetic organisms. The photosynthetic organisms can be genetically modified to effect production, expression, or both, of products. The methods and compositions are particularly useful in the petrochemical industry.04-02-2009
20090126260METHODS OF REFINING HYDROCARBON FEEDSTOCKS - Processes of converting to feedstocks comprising hydrocarbons to compositions comprising light hydrocarbon products are described herein. Also described are processes and methods of producing and refining compositions comprising terpenes from biomass that can be suitable as a fuel product.05-21-2009

20090088680OPTICAL TISSUE INTERFACE METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STIMULATING CELLS - In one example, a system electrically stimulates target cells of a living animal using an elongated structure, a modulation circuit and a light pathway such as provided by an optical fiber arrangement. The elongated structure is for insertion into a narrow passageway in the animal such that an end of the elongated structure is sufficiently near the target cells to deliver stimulation thereto. The modulation circuit is for modulating the target cells while the elongated structure is in the narrow passageway, where the modulation circuit is adapted to deliver viral vectors through the elongated structure for expressing light responsive proteins in the target cells. The light pathway is used for stimulating the target cells by delivering light to the light-responsive proteins in the target cells.04-02-2009

20090137910ORGAN OXYGENATION STATE MONITOR AND METHOD - One aspect of the invention provides a patient tissue state monitoring system with a light source; a light detector; a probe adapted to be inserted into a patient to transmit light from the light source to an organ tissue site and to direct light from the organ tissue site to the detector; and a processor programmed to determine tissue state with respect to a tissue site pre-dysoxia point from a fluorescence emission detected by the detector (such as by determining tissue NADH concentration) and to provide an indication of tissue state through an output device (such as by displaying a numerical value corresponding to the fluorescence emission). Another aspect of the invention provides a method of monitoring a patient tissue state including the following steps: monitoring an aerobic energy production level of an organ tissue site (such as tissue within the patient's gastro-intestinal tract, bladder and/or urethra); determining tissue state with respect to a tissue site pre-dysoxia point from the monitored aerobic energy production level; and providing an output of the tissue state (such as by displaying a numerical value corresponding to the fluorescence emission).05-28-2009
