Charles W. Blackledge, Spring City, PA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090281336BENZOFURAN COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT AND PROPHYLAXIS OF HEPATITIS C VIRAL INFECTIONS AND ASSOCIATED DISEASES - The present invention relates to novel benzofuran derivatives and analogs, as well as compositions containing the same and to the use thereof for the treatment or prophylaxis of viral infections and diseases associated therewith, particularly those viral infections and associated diseases caused by the hepatitis C virus.11-12-2009

Jim Blackledge, Denver, CO US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090320393Precast prestress raised access floor construction - A precast prestress raised access floor construction is provided which includes a precast prestress concrete slab, having an upper base floor surface and a lower surface, a plurality of raised access floor panel pedestal support members bearing directly upon the upper base floor surface, and a plurality of raised access floor panels connected to the support means whereby a void is formed between the floor panels and the upper base floor surface.12-31-2009

Matthew Blackledge, Austin, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110318013ASSET TRACKING SYSTEM FOR RACK-BASED ENCLOSURES - A system includes a beacon device including a communication strip having a plurality of directed light emitters distributed along the communication strip. The beacon device can transmit a directed light signal via the directed light emitters. The system further includes a tag including a processor, a radio frequency transmitter coupled to the processor, a directed light receiver coupled to the processor, and a lens having first and second major surfaces and a side surface, the tag to receive the directed light signal via the side surface and to transmit a radio frequency tag message via the radio frequency transmitter. The system also includes a radio frequency reader to receive the radio frequency tag message.12-29-2011

Robert Blackledge, Mckinney, TX US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110131011METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR THROUGHPUT-TESTING OF ELECTRONIC DATA SYSTEMS - The Data Throughput Tester (“DTT”) provides efficient and reliable methods to characterize the performance capabilities of electronic data systems. Embodiments of the DTT may allow test organizations to find the throughput limitations of a data system under test to the nearest whole packet in both an efficient and reliable manner. Embodiments of the DTT may allow determination of the throughput of a data system under test under the requirement that data output obtained from the data system is identical to the data input provided to the data system. Further embodiments of the DTT may allow determination of the throughput of a data system under test under the condition that specific performance characteristics of the data system under test satisfy pre-defined benchmark parameters. Further embodiments of the DTT may allow determination of the optimum throughput of a data system under test wherein different benchmark parameters are applied when testing the data system under different regimes of performance operating conditions. Further embodiments of the DTT highlighting various other advantageous aspects are discussed in the instant disclosure.06-02-2011

Todd Blackledge, Akron, OH US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110297904HUMIDITY RESPONSIVE MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS USING HUMIDITY RESPONSIVE MATERIALS - The invention relates to silk or other materials formed to have predetermined contraction/relaxation characteristics, wherein the contraction/relaxation characteristics are initiated by exposure thereof to predetermined humidity characteristics in the adjacent atmosphere. The materials may comprise a single silk fiber, a bundle of fibers of a predetermined size or diameter, a meshwork of fibers forming a predetermined configuration such as one or more sheets, bundles or other bodies. In this manner, the material can be scaled across a size range of any desired magnitude to produce predetermined force and/or displacement characteristics in association therewith.12-08-2011

Victor Roy Blackledge, Cologne, MN US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080319462SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPENING AN OCCLUDED LESION - A system, apparatus and method for maximizing efficiency of tissue removal from body passageways is provided. The system comprises a device for opening an occluded lesion, e.g., a rotational atherectomy device or angioplasty device, and a guide wire having an introducer sheath. The guide wire introducer sheath may comprise a hypo tube having columnar strength greater than that of the guide wire alone to assist the guide wire in crossing occluded lesions, wherein the sheath and guide wire are axially moveable relative to each other. The guide wire sheath may further comprise increased flexibility at its distal end to increase flexibility and/or a soft distal tip to help with steerability through the vasculature. The sheath may allow for a smaller outer diameter guide wire which, in turn, may allow for a smaller outer diameter on the occlusion-opening device, e.g., atherectomy or angioplasty device, which is slid over the pre-positioned guide wire.12-25-2008
