| 20100040815 | Energy Absorbing Stitch Ripping Composite Tubes Containing Collapsible Cells - An energy absorbing system has an inner tube and an outer tube that are stitched together. The inner tube contains a set of fibers oriented in a first direction and the outer tube has a second set of fibers oriented in a direction different from the first direction. Preferably these orientations are equal and opposite to each other. The inner tube may be hollow, but preferably has a cellular core. The outer tube may be spaced apart from the inner tube to create an annular cavity that is filled with a cellular material. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20080221673 | MEDICAL IMPLANT WITH REINFORCEMENT MECHANISM - An improved medical implant for treating mitral regurgitation is provided. The medical implant comprises proximal and distal anchors connected by a bridge. The medical implant is configured to be delivered into a coronary sinus using a minimially invasive procedure. The bridge is preferably made of a shape memory material which is biased to contract after the implant is delivered. The medical implant further comprises a reinforcement mechanism configured to limit stresses and strains along the length of the bridge. In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcement mechanism is fixed to a plurality of attachment points along the bridge, thereby preventing excessive elongation between any two attachment points. A resorbable material is preferably disposed within gaps along the length of the bridge to temporarily maintain the bridge in an elongated condition. After the proximal and distal anchors are secured in the coronary sinus, the resorbable material gradually resorbs, thereby creating tension in the bridge which applies a force along the mitral valve annulus. The reinforcement mechanism ensures that stresses and strains and distributed evenly while the bridge is in tension. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20090275506 | LONG LASTING NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE DERIVATIVES - This invention relates to long lasting natriuretic peptide (NP) derivatives. The NP derivative has a NP peptide and a reactive entity coupled to the NP peptide. The reactive entity is able to covalently bond with a functionality on a blood component. In particular, this invention relates to NP derivatives having an extended in vivo half-life, and method for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and disorders such as acute decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic CHF. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20080199532 | Long Lasting Natriuretic Peptide Derivatives - This invention relates to long lasting natriuretic peptide (NP) derivatives. The NP derivative has a NP peptide and a reactive entity coupled to the NP peptide. The reactive entity is able to covalently bond with a functionality on a blood component. In particular, this invention relates to NP derivatives having an extended in vivo half-life, and method for the treatment of cardio-vascular diseases and disorders such as acute decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic CHF. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20120095676 | ON DEMAND TTS VOCABULARY FOR A TELEMATICS SYSTEM - A driving directions system loads into memory a limited subset of prerecorded, spoken utterances of geographic names from a mass media storage. The subset of spoken utterances may be limited, for example, to the geographic names within a predetermined radius (e.g., a few miles) of the driver's present location. The present location of the driver may be manually entered into the driving directions system by the driver, or automatically determined using a global positioning system (“GPS”) receiver. As the vehicle moves from its present location, the driving directions system loads into memory new names from the mass media storage and overwrites, if necessary, those which are now geographically out of range. Based on the current location of the driving, the driving directions system can audibly output geographic names from the run-time memory. | 04-19-2012 |
