| 20080294106 | MULTIPLE ROBOTIC INJECTIONS OF ANESTHESIA BASED ON SCANNED IMAGE - A system for relieving pain caused by a tumor within a body may include an injection system having an injector configured to inject an anesthetic within the body to relieve the pain caused by the tumor, and a robotic system configured to position the injector at a plurality of specified, spaced-apart injection locations within the body. A method of relieving pain caused by a tumor within a body may include: generating an image of the tumor within the body; identifying, based on the image, a plurality of locations within the body at which an injection of an anesthetic that relieves the pain caused by the tumor should be made; and making injections of the anesthetic at the locations, under the control of a robotic system that is programmed to make the injections at the identified locations without human intervention between the injections. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080294107 | MULTIPLE ROBOTIC INJECTIONS OF PRENATAL MEDICATIONS BASED ON SCANNED IMAGE - A system for delivering a prenatal medication to an unborn fetus within a body may include an injection system having an injector configured to inject the prenatal medication into or in the vicinity of the fetus, and a robotic system configured to position the injector at one or more injection locations within the body. A method of delivering a prenatal medication to an unborn fetus within a body may include generating an image of the fetus within the body; identifying, based on the image, one or more locations within the body at which an injection of the prenatal medication should be made; and making injections into the fetus of the prenatal medication at the locations, under the control of a robotic system that is programmed to make the injections at the identified locations without human intervention between the injections. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080294115 | Microscopic Tumor Injection Treatment - A tumor treatment system for treating a tumor within a body may include an injection system having an injector configured to inject an injection within the body that treats the tumor, and a robotic system configured to position the injector at a plurality of specified, spaced-apart treatment locations within the body. A tumor treatment process for treating a tumor within a body may include generating an image of the tumor within the body, identifying a plurality of locations within the body at which an injection that treats the tumor should be made based on the image, and making the injections at the locations under the control of a robotic system that is programmed to make the injections at the identified locations without human intervention. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080294141 | MULTIPLE ROBOTIC INJECTIONS OF IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE DRUGS BASED ON SCANNED IMAGE - A system for delivering an immunosuppressive drug to a transplanted organ within a body may include an injection system having an injector configured to inject an immunosuppressive drug into the transplanted organ, and a robotic system configured to position the injector at one or more injection locations within the body. A method of delivering an immunosuppressive drug to a transplanted organ within a body may include injecting the immunosuppressive drug into one or more locations within the transplanted organ so as to suppress white cell infiltration into the transplanted organ without affecting white cell activity at locations outside of the transplanted organ. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090253997 | SKIN BIOPSY WITH AUTOMATED LESION STABILIZATION AND RESECTION - An automated skin biopsy apparatus for taking a biopsy of a lesion on skin. The apparatus may include a lesion stabilizer configure to controllably stabilize the lesion while on the skin, a lesion resector configured to controllably resect the lesion from the skin, a user-operated control, and a controller. The controller may be configured to automatically cause, in response to actuation of the user-operated control by a user, the lesion stabilizer to stabilize the lesion while attached to the skin and the lesion resector to resect the lesion from the skin while the lesion is being stabilized by the lesion stabilizer. Related processes are also disclosed. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090253998 | SKIN BIOPSY WITH SUTURING PRIOR TO RESECTION - An automated skin biopsy apparatus for taking a biopsy of a lesion on skin may include a suture applicator configured to controllably suture skin surrounding the lesion before the lesion is resected from the skin, a lesion resector configured to controllably resect the lesion from the skin, a user-operated control, and a controller. The controller may be configured, in response to actuation of the user-operated control by a user, to automatically cause the suture applicator to suture skin surrounding the lesion and the lesion resector to resect the lesion from the skin while the sutures from the suture applicator are in place. Related processes are disclosed. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100302358 | AUTOMATED ASSESSMENT OF SKIN LESIONS USING IMAGE LIBRARY - An automated skin lesion assessment system may automatically assess a suspect skin lesion. An electronic image library may contain diagnosed skin lesion image data representative of images of a plurality of diagnosed skin lesions and, for each, a diagnosis of the skin lesion. An image capture system may capture an image of the suspect skin lesion. A computer processing system may compare the image of the suspect skin lesion with the diagnosed skin lesion image data and, based on this comparison, identify one or more diagnosed skin lesions which match the suspect skin lesion. A user interface may report the diagnoses of the diagnosed skin lesions that match the image of the suspect skin lesion. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20090098619 | Method of producing liquid and powered mushroom beta-glucan - A method of producing liquid and powdered mushroom Beta-Glucan provides a uniform culture medium for the mushroom growing well and yielding high beta-glucan production rate. Adapting animal cell culture techniques, the growth of mushroom mycelium is speeded up and the production time is minimized. The use of serum bottles with magnetic stirring units reduces the size of mycelium to promote even distribution in result of better growth. The use of transparent, thermal resistant, and non-toxic polycarbonate (PC) bioreactors with orbital shakers, the fermentation process is better controlled and the production is enhanced while being production cost effective. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090098620 | Production method for solid Cultured active mushroom mycelium and fruit-body metabolites (AMFM) products thereof - A production method effectively increases the amount and yield of mushroom beta-glucan, and widely applied in the fields of food, biotechnology, cultivation and medical development. The cultivating medium contains the nutrition of three natural grains, including brown rice, adlay and oat, to provide a complete physiological environment for the mushrooms to grow well. Experimental results strongly suggest that AMFM treated cell activities are significantly enhanced in comparison with those without AMFM treated. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100279353 | Process of producing fibrinolytic enzyme from mushroom - A fibrinolytic enzyme isolated from a culture broth of a mushroom has a characteristic of degrading a fibrin and a fibrinogen without activating an activity of a plasminogen. The plasminogen is activated to generate a plasmin to degrade the fibrin and/or fibrinogen, so that the fibrinolytic enzyme be used for the thrombosis-related diseases to degrade the fibrin and fibrinogen of blood clots without activate the plasminogen, so as to avoid a hemorrhage due to the over activation the plasminogen to over generate the plasmin. | 11-04-2010 |
