20110085140 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TESTING CONTRAST SENSITIVITY - A test for measuring the contrast sensitivity of a patient uses a set of card that each include a stimulus, such as a square wave grating, presented at a single low-spatial frequency. The gratings vary in contrast from card to card. The test allows for the determination of the maximum contrast sensitivity of the patient in a single measurement, without knowing the spatial frequency at which that maximum occurs, which is possible because the spatial frequency is low enough that it is most likely below the maximum of the contrast sensitivity function in patients of any age. | 04-14-2011 |

20120229141 | Optimized RF Shield Design - Radio frequency (RF) shields used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus may experience gradient field induced eddy currents and RF field induced eddy currents. These eddy currents can cause the RF shield to heat up at an undesirable rate. RF shields are designed to have a desired degree of RF shielding and a desired heating attribute. Design goals for RF shields include gradient field transparency and RF field opacity, both of which can be influenced by eddy currents. Example methods identify a gradient field that will induce eddy currents and identify an RF field that will induce eddy currents. If a region on the RF shield is identified where the desired heating attribute will not be achieved, then a pattern of axial cuts and azimuthal cuts can be made in the RF shield to reduce gradient eddy current heating in the RF shield while maintaining desired RF shielding. | 09-13-2012 |

20090274710 | TRANS-MEMBRANE-ANTIBODY INDUCED INHIBITION OF APOPTOSIS - Cell suicide (apoptosis) is associated with pathogenesis, for example, it is the major cause for the loss of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. Caspase-3 is critically involved in the pathway of apoptosis. Superantibody (SAT)-trans-membrane technology has been used to produce antibodies against the caspase enzyme in an effort to inhibit apoptosis in living cells. The advantage of using trans-membrane antibodies as apoptosis inhibitors is their specific target recognition in the cell and their lower toxicity compared to conventional apoptosis inhibitors. It is shown that a MTS-transport-peptide modified monoclonal anti-caspase-3 antibody reduces actinomycin D-induced apoptosis and cleavage of spectrin in living cells. These results indicate that antibodies conjugated to a membrane transporter peptide have a therapeutic potential to inhibit apoptosis in a variety of diseases. | 11-05-2009 |

20100200647 | EMBOSSED PAPERBOARD CUP HOLDER - A paperboard cup holder for use with a hot coffee cup, the cup being tapered as in the form of a cross section of a right circular cone of relatively small taper angle. Such cups are generally of paperboard or plastic and are often used in vending machines and fast food retail outlets for serving hot coffee. The holder is formed from a flat, generally arcuate unitary paperboard blank having a convex outer edge and a concave inner edge. The arcuate length of the blank is substantially the same as the mid circumference of the cup, and the ends of the blank are glued together to form an annular holder. The upper edge of the blank integrally carries a plurality of flaps which bend 180 degrees to as to lie parallel with the main portion of the blank. The inter and outer surfaces of the paperboard blank are embossed, including the flaps. When the holder is slid onto a cup, the flaps are sandwiched between the outer (hot) surface of the cup and the main portion of the holder. The flap apertures define small, closed air chambers which assist, with the paperboard of the holder, in inhibiting heat flow to the fingers of the person holding the cup. Spaces between the flaps and the surface embossing define air filled channels which further assist in inhibiting heat flow from the hot coffee to the finger tips of the user. | 08-12-2010 |
