20100100120DEVICES AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING BLEEDING - A compression or tourniquet device can include a frame which has a first arm and a support arm and a pad mounted on the first arm. The position of the first arm can be laterally and vertically adjustable on the frame relative to the brace arm. The device can be secured to a patient and the pad can be adjusted to provide pressure on an injury to stop the bleeding.04-22-2010
20110054340INDICATIVE CHEST SEAL - A wound dressing can include an adhesive dressing with a diaphragm vent that allows the passage of gas out of a patient's body but restricts the flow of gas into the body. A sensor device is positioned so as to be able to sample gas passing through the vent and measure one or more gas characteristics, such as temperature, humidity, and/or pressure. If the data from the sensor device exceeds certain parameters suggestive of a pneumothorax, a processing device can activate an alert system, such as an indicator light, audible alarm, and/or wireless signal, to alert the care provider.03-03-2011

20090054262DEVICES FOR CELL ASSAYS - The present invention relates to the field of molecular diagnostics. In particular, the present invention provided improved substrates and methods of using liquid crystals and other biophotonically based assays for quantitating the amount of an analyte in a sample. The present invention also provides materials and methods for detecting non-specific binding of an analyte to a substrate by using a liquid crystal or other biophotonically based assay formats.02-26-2009
20100009344LIQUID CRYSTAL BASED ANALYTE DETECTION - The present invention relates to the field of detection of viruses, and in particular to detection of viruses using a liquid crystal assay format. In the present invention, virus binding in a detection region is identified by changes in liquid crystal orientation caused by virus binding independent orientation caused by any topography associated with the detection region.01-14-2010
20100221815SUBSTRATES, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR QUANTITATIVE LIQUID CRYSTAL ASSAYS - The present invention relates to the field of molecular diagnostics, and in particular to diagnostics based on a liquid crystal assay format. In particular, the present invention provided improved substrates and methods of using liquid crystal assays for quantitating the amount of an analyte in a sample. The present invention also provides materials and methods for detecting non-specific binding of an analyte to a substrate by using a liquid crystal assay format.09-02-2010

20100105473Video role play - The present invention relates to an entertainment system, in particular to a role-play video game for one, or two or more players where game software accesses a machine readable media to obtain a set of preselected media clips. These media clips may be scenes from a movie, a television show or a theatre play. The game then serves the chosen media clip to a display device, and plays the audio track assigned to the media clip on a sound generating device. The sound generating device can be engaged or disabled at will. Multiple categories and sub-categories are used by the game software for sorting the media clips. These categories are represented by plurality multi-layered menus that are used to isolate the most desirable media clip for a user. Before a role play begins, a counter gives a user a chance to prepare emotionally and mentally for the ensuing role play. A user may view the subtitles during a role play session for assistance with the same.04-29-2010

20090263468METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR WOUND HEALING - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for wound healing. In particular, the present invention relates to promoting and enhancing wound healing by utilizing cross-linker covalent modification molecules to attach and deliver wound active agents to a wound. In addition, the present invention provides methods and compositions utilizing oppositely charged polymers to form a polyelectrolyte layer on a wound surface. The invention further relates to incorporating wound active agents into a polyelectrolyte layer for delivery to a wound.10-22-2009

20090064286Methods and systems for internet security via virtual software - A method for providing internet security includes providing a storage medium including a first executable application module. In response to inputting the storage medium onto a local computer the first executable application module is loaded into virtual memory in the local computer. The first executable application module is executed, the first executable application module providing information identifying at least one remote server. Communication is performed between the local computer and the remote server using the information provided by the first executable application module. The remote server is instructed to send a second application module to the local computer. Upon receipt of the second application module, the second application module is loaded into virtual memory on the local computer. The second application module is executed from virtual memory and a prompt is displayed to the user.03-05-2009
