| 20110252006 | OFFLINE SHARING CAPABILITY FOR CLIENT APPLICATION - Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and UI modifications for existing applications are used to implement efficient methods for taking content offline with full synchronization, incremental synchronization, in the case of document libraries per-folder synchronization, and the like. The APIs provide support for synchronizing changes to attachments, the ability to download a document library's complete contents or only a list of the available documents, and read-only folder hierarchy replication in the case of document libraries. These abilities coupled with corresponding user interface features enable easier browsing and searching of large document library structures, making edits to those documents offline, being able to see an up-to-date version of those documents in a preview mode, and receiving reminders when offline edits remain on the local computer and need to be updated to a server. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20100313583 | HELIUM MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM - A helium management control system for controlling the helium refrigerant supply from a common manifold supplies a plurality of cryogenic refrigerators with an appropriate helium supply. The system employs a plurality of sensors to monitor and regulate the overall refrigerant supply to deliver an appropriate refrigerant supply to each of the cryogenic refrigerators depending on the computed aggregate cooling demand of all of the cryogenic refrigerators. An appropriate supply of helium is distributed to each cryopump by sensing excess and sparse helium refrigerant and redistributing refrigerant accordingly. If the total refrigeration supply exceeds the total refrigerant demand, or consumption, excess refrigerant is directed to cryogenic refrigerators which can utilize the excess helium to complete a current cooling function more quickly. Similarly, if the total refrigeration demand exceeds the total refrigeration supply, the refrigerant supply to some or all of the cryogenic refrigerators will be reduced accordingly so that detrimental or slowing effects are minimized based upon the current cooling function. | 12-16-2010 |

The coupling member defines an internal chamber which is in communication with lumens of the first and second intrabody members. In an implantation orientation each of the first and second intrabody members is in a straightened configuration relative to the coupling member and in an implanted orientation each of the first and second intrabody members is in a contracted configuration relative to the coupling member. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090291944 | Antimicrobial compositions and methods of use - In one aspect, compositions provide antimicrobial therapy as topical disinfectants. Particularly, one aspect relates to an alcohol containing antimicrobial composition that includes at least one paraben, a redox compound and an organic acid at a concentration of from about 1.5 percent to about 10 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. In other aspects, antimicrobial compositions are used to topically sanitize wounds, skin areas and/or to disinfect surgical instruments or other surfaces. Still, in further aspects, methods, devices and kits relating to an antimicrobial composition are provided. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100010086 | ANTIMICROBIAL THERAPY FOR INDWELLING CATHETERS AND FOR SANITIZING SURFACES - The invention relates to compositions that provide antimicrobial therapy for indwelling catheters and as topical disinfectants, and methods, devices and kits relating thereto. In one aspect, the invention relates to the infusion of a catheter lock solution into an indwelling catheter. Use of inventive compositions as catheter lock solutions advantageously aid in diminishing the effects of microbial infection in catheters and occlusion of the catheters. In other aspects, antimicrobial compositions are used to topically sanitize wounds, skin areas and/or other surfaces. An antimicrobial composition provided by the invention includes EDTA, a paraben, and optionally one or both of citrate and a photo-oxidant. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100228232 | Catheter flushing assembly - An assembly for flushing at least the primary flow lines associated with a catheter, such as an intravascular catheter, comprising first and second flush ports connected in fluid communicating relation with a different one of said primary flow lines. A primary flow restrictor assembly includes two safety flow restrictors, disposed at a main hub of the catheter and the primary flow lines, and being structured to regulate fluid flow between the primary flow lines and the catheter. A flushing orientation is established when the two safety flow restrictors are concurrently disposed in a closed position, thereby establishing fluid flow between the primary flow lines and corresponding ones of the first and second flush ports, wherein one-way valves associated with each of the flush ports facilitate a concurrent path of flushing fluid from said primary flow lines and towards, out and through the first and second flush ports, to the external environment. Consequently, the flushing assembly of the present invention can prevent the introduction of flushing fluid, along with any bacteria or other collection of material carried by it, into a patient's bloodstream. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100240750 | CATHETER LOCK SOLUTION COMPRISING CITRATE AND A PARABEN - This invention relates to compositions, methods, devices and kits relating to the infusion of a catheter lock solution into an indwelling catheter. Inventive compositions, methods, devices and kits aid in diminishing the effects of microbial infection in catheters and occlusion of the catheters. A lock solution provided by the invention includes citrate and a paraben. The solution preferably has a density suitable for retention of the solution in a catheter during the lock period. Another lock solution provided by the invention includes citrate, a paraben and a photo-oxidant, such as, for example, methylene blue. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100326911 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM - A dialysate fluid circulation apparatus includes a dialyzer, a first housing and a second housing. The first housing contains material capable of releasing sodium into dialysate fluid flowing through the first housing. The second housing contains material capable of binding sodium ions from dialysate fluid flowing through the second housing. Hydraulic conduit sections are configured to extend between the dialyzer, the first housing, and the second housing to connect the dialyzer with the housings in a primary flow path for dialysate fluid to flow from the dialyzer to the first housing, from the first housing to the second housing, and from the second housing back to the dialyzer. | 12-30-2010 |
