| 20110046045 | Method of treating obesity and metabolic disorders related to excess adipose tissue by administration of sFRP-5 peptide - Disclosed is a method of reducing the amount of adipose tissue in a subject comprising administering to the subject an amount of an sFRP-5 peptide effective to reduce the amount of adipose tissue, or an amount of a molecule effective to stimulate expression of the sFRP-5 peptide in the subject. Also disclosed is a screen for molecules that can reduce the amount of adipose tissue in a subject. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110288034 | Methods of identifying adipocyte specific genes, the genes identified, and their uses - Disclosed is a method of identifying genes that are over-expressed in adipose tissue as compared to pre-adipocyte tissue or other tissues comprising performing differential gene expression analysis between the white adipose tissue (WAT) or stromal vascular tissue (SVT) from any two different mice selected from the group consisting of wild-type, HMGI-Cā/ā, ob/ob, and HMGI-Cā/ā ob/ob genotype mice. Based on this method a number of nucleotide sequences are identified whose expression is adipocyte specific. The identified nucleotide sequences and their corresponding polypeptides are then used to prevent adipogenesis, to treat diabetes, and to screen for small-molecules that can modulate or prevent adipogenesis and to treat diabetes. | 11-24-2011 |

| 20100152829 | EMBOLIC FILTER DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - The disclosure pertains to a medical device deployment system comprising a restraint member which holds the embolic protection filter in a restrained, or partially collapsed, state for insertion into a lumen and transit to a desired deployment site. The restraint member comprises two or more portions which differ in their mechanical ability to resist the radial forces exerted by various portions of the medical device when it is in a restrained, or partially collapsed, state. The restraint member is maintained in a restraint configuration by an actuation member which engages portions of the restraint member lying on opposite sides of a generally axial gap until deployment of the medical device is desired. Withdrawal of the actuation member allows the restraint member to release the medical device which may then return to a deployed state. The invention also provides a method for assembling a medical device deployment system. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100268263 | EMBOLIC PROTECTION FILTERS, FILTER MEMBRANES, AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THE SAME - Embolic protection filters, filter membranes, and methods for making and using the same. An example embolic protection filter may include an elongate shaft having a proximal region and a distal region. A filter frame may be to the distal region. A filter membrane may be attached to the filter frame. The filter membrane may have a plurality of apertures formed therein. The filter membrane may include a polymer having a bulk portion and a surface portion. The surface portion may include a surface modification. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20110057581 | Floor Plan Deduction Using Lighting Control and Sensing - An apparatus and method of deducing building floor plan information are disclosed. One method includes changing an intensity of light generated from a plurality of lights within a building. A plurality of light sensors senses an intensity of light received from at least one of the plurality of lights. A distance between at least one light sensor and at least one of the plurality of lights is estimated based on the sensed intensity of light. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110140612 | Lighting Control - An apparatus and method of controlling a light are disclosed. One method includes detecting a light adjusting trigger event, selecting a random delay time, and adjusting the light, wherein the light adjustment occurs the random delay time after detecting the light adjusting trigger event. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20120032599 | Intelligent Light Retrofit - An apparatus and method of retrofitting a light fixture are disclosed. One method includes interfacing a retrofit controller with a dimming ballast of the light fixture, connecting the retrofit controller to at least one sensor, and connecting the retrofit controller to a power supply and a network. Another embodiment includes a light fixture retrofit controller and a separate sensor unit. The combination of the retrofit controller and a separate sensor unit are operative to provide power and dimming control of a dimming ballast of an existing light fixture. The dimming control is base on at least one of a signal sensed by the separate sensor unit and control information received from a network. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120062125 | Distributed Lighting Control of a Corridor or Open Areas - Methods and apparatuses of distributed lighting control are disclosed. One method includes a sensor sensing a change of light intensity per unit of time greater than a sense threshold. If a light associated with the sensor is within a corridor and the sensed change of light intensity per unit of time is greater than the sense threshold, then the light is activated at a preselected corridor light intensity. If the light associated with the sensor is not within a corridor and the sensed change of light per unit of time is greater than the sense threshold, then the light is activated at a preselected non-corridor light intensity. For an embodiment, the preselected corridor light intensity is greater than the preselected non-corridor light intensity. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120112667 | Controlling Intensity of a Light Through Qualified Motion Sensing - Methods and apparatuses for controlling light intensity of a light through motion sensing are disclosed. One method includes sensing a first instance of motion. The light is activated only if consecutive instances of motion are sensed, wherein each instance is sensed within a gap of time of a previously sensed instance of motion, and the consecutive instances of motion being sensed span an entire window of time after sensing the first instance of motion. One apparatus includes a motion sensor for sensing a first instance of motion. The apparatus further includes a controller interfaced to the motion sensor and the light, the controller operative to activate the light only if consecutive instances of motion are sensed, wherein each instance is sensed within a gap of time of a previously sensed instance of motion, and the consecutive instances of motion being sensed span an entire window of time after sensing the first instance of motion. | 05-10-2012 |

| 20100242614 | TUNING FREQUENCY OF ROTATING BODY TORSIONAL MODE BY ADDING DETUNER - A solution is provided for tuning the frequency of a torsional mode of interest of a rotating body (such as a generator rotor torsional mode) by adding a detuner to act as an undamped torsional vibration absorber. The detuner may be coupled to an overhung shaft extending from the rotating body. The detuner may be modular, therefore weight can be added or subtracted easily from the detuner in order to adjust the stiffness and/or inertia of the overhung shaft. This change in stiffness and/or inertia yields a torsional frequency of oscillation in the overhung shaft substantially similar to the natural frequency of the torsional mode of interest of the rotating body, therefore forcing the frequency of the torsional mode of interest of the rotating body above or below its torsional natural frequency. | 09-30-2010 |
