Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090007500MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM - A modular structural system includes a hub in the general shape of a polygon, such as a hexagon or octagon, which may be somewhat rounded or may have a regular shape. The system includes a plurality of other structural members, such as hub spokes, for interfacing adjacent the hub, and leg spokes, for interfacing with the hub or with the hub spokes. The system also includes cross braces for providing additional support between the hub spokes and leg spokes. The hub, the hub spokes, leg spokes, and cross braces are joined by bores in the individual pieces and a plurality of dowels or rods placed into the bores. From these modular pieces, and currently available structural members, many useful and recreational structures may be assembled and then disassembled, such as frames, garden structures, furniture, shelving, and the like.01-08-2009

20080221023Use of Protein Hydrolysates For the Manufacture of a Medicament For Prophylaxis and/or Treatment of a Dpp-IV Mediated Condition - Disclosed is the use of one or more protein hydrolysates for the manufacture of a medicament, food supplement, beverage or food product for prophylaxis and/or treatment of a DPP-IV mediated condition, like, for example, obesity, type II diabetes mellitus, autoimmune diseases.09-11-2008
20080292750Method of Preparing a Food Ingredient and Food Product Having Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme Inhibiting Properties and Products Thus Obtained - The invention relates to a method of preparing a food ingredient conferring angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibiting properties to the food product comprising the ingredient, which method comprises providing a preparation of one or more protein hydrolysates having angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibiting properties, optionally together with one or more other constituents; adding one or more microorganism species to the preparation thus provided; and fermenting the preparation. The ingredient thus obtained has ACE-inhibiting properties and is no longer bitter tasting. The de-bittering can also take place directly in the food product for which the ingredient is intended.11-27-2008
20090036351USE OF A PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE FOR ENHANCING ACTIVITY OF GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1 - A protein hydrolysate having a degree of hydrolysis between 1 and 40% and containing between 1 and 70 wt. % of peptides having a molecular weight of less than 500 Da and less than 55 wt. % of peptides or proteins having a molecular weight of more than 5000 Da, on the basis of the total proteinaceous material of the composition, is effective in stimulating secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). In addition, the hydrolysate may have DPP-IV inhibiting activity. The hydrolysate is suitable for the manufacture of a medicament, or food product for prophylaxis and/or treatment of a GLP-1 mediated condition, in particular obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and an immunological disorder.02-05-2009
20090075904Protein Hydrolysate Enriched In Peptides Inhibiting DPP-IV And Their Use - Disclosed is a protein hydrolysate having DPP-IV inhibiting activity, the hydrolysate being enriched in peptides having a length of 2-8 amino acids comprising at least one proline residue, an isolated peptide derivable from such a protein hydrolysate, or a mixture thereof, and the use of such protein hydrolysate or isolated peptide for the manufacture of a medicament, food supplement, beverage or food product for prophylaxis and/or treatment of a DPP-IV mediated condition, in particular chosen from the group of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and an immunological disorder.03-19-2009

20110209835HEADWALL FOR A HOSPTIAL BED - A headwall for a hospital bed includes at least exposed one medical care element and at least two panels. Each of the panels differs in at least two of shape, size, color, design, texture or projection. The panels may have a shape suggestive of the at one medical care element. The medical care element may include an electrical or gas outlet, a medical device or a medical accessory, for example examination lights, mounts for equipment, baskets, shelves, and patient monitoring equipment such as blood pressure monitors. The panels minimize the prominence of the outlets/devices and/or accessories. Alternatively, a headwall for a hospital bed includes at least one flexible screen configured to cover at least one medical care element. The screen may be raised, lowered, or slid laterally to uncover and cover the medical care element.09-01-2011

20090094214System And Method For Compiling Geospatial Data For On-Line Collaboration - A system and method for compiling geospatial data for on-line collaboration is provided. A database of categories is maintained. Each category includes one or more waymarks and is associated with at least one variable having one or more attributes, which each specify a type of data storable under that variable. A search is performed and one of the categories is selected. A new waymark is formed under the selected category. First, geospatial data defining a location is received from a user. Second, metadata describing a physical object associated with a location is received. One or more of the attributes, which each specify the type of data in agreement with the metadata is defined. Third, the geospatial data is compiled with the metadata for the new waymark. The new waymark is stored under the selected category. The new waymark is published on-line.04-09-2009
20090313272SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A GUIDED USER INTERFACE TO PROCESS WAYMARK RECORDS - A system and method for providing a guided user interface to process waymark records is provided. Categories of published waymark records are maintained in a database. Each category is associated with at least one variable and one or more attributes, which each specify a type of metadata for the variables. The variables and attributes are presented for one of the categories in response to a request from a user. A user interface is applied to process input metadata for a physical object that is received from the user via the user interface. A consistency of the input metadata with the variables and attributes associated with the category is determined. The consistent input metadata is complied as a waymark record for the physical object. The waymark record is published and displayed on a map.12-17-2009
