20120261039Method for manufacturing of vehicle armor components requiring severe forming with very high bend angles with very thick gauge product of high strength heat treatable aluminum alloys - It has been commonly believed that very thick gauge high strength aluminum alloy product such as AA2139 plate cannot be formed to the required sharp angles to form the highly protective underbody armor for the MRAP vehicles. The present process and method of manufacture provides a means for strategically combining the metallurgical process of manufacturing high strength aluminum alloys and the forming process of V shaped hull to improve the formability of the very thick gauge high strength alloy product so much that even the very thick gauge (thicker than 1 inch) plate can be formed to severe forming angles. This combined process allowed successful manufacturing of high performance V shaped hulls for the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.10-18-2012

20080207503Composition and Treatment Methods for Coronary Artery Disease - The present disclosure demonstrates that cholesterol-free discoidal reconstituted HDL (R-HDL), phosphatidyl-choline (PC) and PC liposomes effectively released cholesterol from ICP. Native HDL and its apolipoproteins were not able to release cholesterol from ICP. The release of ICP cholesterol by R-HDL was dose-dependent and accompanied by the transfer of >8× more PC in the reverse direction (i.e., from R-HDL to ICP), resulting in a marked enrichment of ICP with PC. The enrichment of ICP with PC resulted in the dissolution of cholesterol crystals on ICP and allowed the removal of ICP cholesterol by apo HDL and plasma. The present disclosure provides a method of treatment for removal of cholesterol from ICP in vivo and compositions for use in such method of treatment. Such methods may be used in the treatment and/or prevention of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and related disease states and conditions.08-28-2008

20130009063System and Method for Improving Detection of Gamma Interactions in a Positron Emission Tomography System - A system and method are provided for determining the onset of gamma interactions for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging more accurately than with existing techniques.

Numerical simulations demonstrate that the invention improves time resolution by approximately 10% over state-of-the-art methods. This improved time resolution directly benefits the imaging performance of the PET scanner, especially in time-of-flight (TOF) mode, where a high time resolution directly translates to a reduction in image noise at the same dose—or, alternatively, a reduction of dose to the patient or scan time for the same image quality.01-10-2013
