| 20100044302 | Hydrophilic, high protein binding, low fluorescence, western blotting membrane - Hydrophilic membrane particularly suited for blotting applications, preferably Western blotting. A pre-wet hydrophobic membrane substrate, preferably made of PVDF, is contacted with a monomer solution and subjected to a UV-initiated free radical polymerization step to render the substrate permanently hydrophilic. The resulting membrane exhibits low background fluorescence, high protein binding, excellent retention of protein sample spot morphology, and extended dynamic range (high signal-to-noise ratio, enhanced sample detectability). The membrane demonstrates comparable or higher performance in Western blotting applications than conventional nitrocellulose Western blotting membranes, particularly for protein detection at low sample concentrations, and is directly water-wettable, eliminating the need for an alcohol pre-wet step prior to use. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20110027332 | PLIABLE MEDICAL DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE - A firm but pliable medical device for use as a bone graft substitute or bone graft extender retains its shape without the requirement of a containment device, such as a syringe. Because the device is solid, it is easy to locate or position in-vivo and, in the moist environment of the body, it will hold its shape well, for an extended time. Because the lyophilized pliable medical device is porous, it adsorbs blood and other beneficial cells containing body fluids, such as bone marrow, contributing to its superior bone repair efficacy in comparison to an analogous putty that has not been lyophilized. In addition these lyophilized pliable medical devices are easier to terminally steam sterilize than the analogous putty because there is no moisture present to boil and “blow-out” of the containment device (syringe). The glycerin that is present in the formulation lends pliability but has a low vapor pressure. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20090044621 | Accelerometer and Rate Sensor Package for Gravity Gradiometer Instruments - An accelerometer and rate sensor package to aid gravity gradiometers is provided. The accelerometer and rate sensor package is mounted directly on or within a gravity gradiometer instrument (GGI). Outputs from the sensors can be used to reduce unwanted noise due to angular rotational rates, angular accelerations and linear accelerations that may be coupled to the GGI. Since the sensor assembly is directly mounted on or within the GGI, the sensor assembly is coupled to the GGI and senses the acceleration and angular rates as seen by the GGI. Thus, outputs from the GGI can be corrected more effectively using the sensor assembly's outputs. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20110161108 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING DIVERSION IN DRUG DISPENSING - Systems and methods for detecting diversion in drug dispensing transactions are provided. The systems and methods described provide an integrated platform for collecting and analyzing data that describes a user's drug dispensing transactions and determines a diversion score for the user that indicates the relative severity of the user's diversion activities. The diversion score may be weighted to reflect the relative importance of a respective category of diversion activity to the identification of drug diverters with respect to other categories. Furthermore, in determining a user's diversion score, the user's transaction data may be compared with transaction data regarding the user's peers. In this way, for example, high diversion scores may indicate a high occurrence of suspicious activity, and users having high diversion scores may be further monitored and investigated to determine whether the particular user is indeed diverting drugs for illegitimate use. | 06-30-2011 |

The latch comprises an upper latch end and a coil-engaging portion. The coil-engaging portion comprises coil-aligning structure. At least one compression coil is received within the coil-receiving cavity and placed into engagement with the coil-engaging portion so as to bias the upper latch end exterior to shell via the latch-receiving cavity. The coil-aligning structure enhances axial alignment of each coil during coil compression. The pin pivotally connects the latch to the housing for enabling pivotal movement of the latch under selectively varied spring resistance for targeted applications. The coil(s) thus enable the user to vary latching forces during latching securement and release depending to the targeted loads and conditions. | 12-02-2010 |
