| 20080201487 | OPEN DYNAMIC DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM - Assigning subdomain names of domain names to users and allowing the subdomain names to receive dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) service is described herein. A downloadable application is configured to submit the domain name as well as subdomain names for registration. The owner of the domain name can other users to receive a subdomain name by granting permission thereto. Requesting users can then receive a subdomain if the owner allows. Dynamic DNS services are then administered for the subdomain, regardless of the domain owner's authorization. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090307571 | IMAGE ACQUISITION FROM DYNAMIC CONTENT FOR DELIVERY TO NETWORK-ENABLED STATIC DISPLAY DEVICES - An image service uses a uniform resource locator (URL) or other location identifier to retrieve static images embedded in dynamic content presentations from the Internet. The image service uses a set of imaging parameters to extract one or more static images embedded in the dynamic content presentation that can be consumed by the static display device. URLs to existing web pages are entered into a configuration interface on the image service. The image service parses the web pages, identifies a direct location identifier for the embedded image, and passes the direct location identifier to the static display device for direct retrieval of the embedded image. In another implementation, the image service dynamically pulls the selected embedded images from the identified web sites, and downloads the static image files for display on the static display device. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090307603 | DYNAMIC CONTENT DELIVERY TO NETWORK-ENABLED STATIC - An image service uses a uniform resource locator (URL) or other identifier to retrieve dynamic content presentations from the Internet. The image service uses a set of imaging parameters to render HTML files into a static image, sized appropriately, that can be presented on a static display device. A user enters URLs identifying locations of dynamic content within a configuration interface on the image service. The image service then dynamically pulls the selected content from the identified web sites, converts the web pages, or portions thereof, into static digital image files, and downloads the image files for display on a static display device. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20090024145 | Apparatus and method for sternotomy closure - A tissue closure device includes a pusher assembly having a drive arm extending from a drive shaft and a drive mechanism at a distal end of the drive arm, wherein the drive mechanism is capable of releasably engaging and rotating a suturing needle having a pointed end and a blunt end about a rotational axis and a cartridge having a protective housing and the suturing needle, the cartridge extending from a distal end of a cartridge holder assembly and releasably attached to the cartridge holder assembly. A pointed end of the suturing needle may be positioned within the protective housing before and after a complete rotation of the suturing needle about the rotational axis. A removable electronic module may be provided controlled by an actuator that mechanically engages the drive shaft to rotate the drive shaft and the drive mechanism, thereby rotating the suturing needle about the rotational axis. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20100098740 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING A DRUG RELEASE RATE - A method of controlling the drug release rate of a drug coated endovascular stent by depositing a drug material layer on the stent and then modifying the drug material using gas cluster ion beam irradiation to create a carbon matrix with interstices containing the original drug. The rate at which the drug elutes through the interstices can be controlled by processing parameters. Multiple layers may be employed to create time varying release rates. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100098833 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING A DRUG RELEASE RATE - A method of controlling the drug release rate of a drug coated endovascular stent by depositing a drug material layer on the stent and then modifying the drug material using gas cluster ion beam irradiation to create a carbon matrix with interstices containing the original drug. The rate at which the drug elutes through the interstices can be controlled by processing parameters. Multiple layers may be employed to create time varying release rates. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20110160845 | DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF - In one embodiment, a drug delivery system and method provide a member including a combination of a drug substance and a polymer or other material, and an encapsulating layer formed in an outer surface of the member by gas cluster ion beam irradiation of the outer surface of the member, which encapsulating layer is adapted to determine one or more characteristics of the drug delivery system. | 06-30-2011 |
