Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120042002SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTEXT DRIVEN CENTRALIZED HELP - A system and method for context driven centralized help is provided. A daemon application initiated on a workstation or mobile device is configured to intercept a help request received in connection with an active application when a pre-defined triggering event is invoked. The daemon application captures context corresponding to the current page or function in use with the active application and generates a corresponding information dataset pertaining to the captured context. The information dataset is transmitted to a remote site, configured to query a content database, to determine if help-related content has been previously associated with the captured context, wherein a positive determination of the existence of such an association results in the help-related content being retrieved and displayed on the workstation or mobile device.02-16-2012

20080292615DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DISEASE - We disclose a method of diagnosis of a disease, or susceptibility to a disease associated with abnormal cell-cell adhesion between epithelial cells, the method comprising detection of a mutation in a nucleic acid encoding an adhesion protein, a protease, or a protease inhibitor of an individual. Methods of making medicaments and methods of treatment and/or prophylaxis are also disclosed.11-27-2008

20090123549Pharmaceutical Compositions - A composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable group (2, 4, 12, 13 or 14) metal compound for the treatment of a dermatological condition involving an abnormal decrease in the cell-to-cell adhesion between epithelial cells in the epidermal barrier.05-14-2009
20100069338PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS - The present invention provides a composition for topical administration to the skin for treating and/or preventing a dermatological condition involving an abnormal decrease in the cell-to-cell adhesion between epithelial cells comprising a zinc salt which is at least partially soluble in water and an acid, wherein the composition has a pH less than or equal to 6. The dermatological condition is generally selected from eczema, dermatitis, atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis, non-atopic eczema, non-atopic dermatitis, seborrheic eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, pruritus and sensitive skin. A preferred composition comprises zinc lactate, lactic acid and has a pH of about 4.0 to 5.0.03-18-2010

20100117650AMPLIFIER - A two port parametric amplifier has a first port that receives an input signal to be amplified and upconverted and a second port that receives a local oscillator signal. The amplified upconverted input signal is emitted as an output at upper and lower sideband frequencies. The amplifier further has a pair of varactor diodes connected between the first port and the second port. The diodes are connected in parallel from the first port and in series from the second port.05-13-2010
20100117652BORE TUBE ASSEMBLY - A wireless magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner bore tube assembly has a radio frequency (RF) antenna, a microwave antenna array and an electrical screen. The RF antenna is formed of a series of RF antenna elements, each comprising a rung. The rungs are spaced at intervals of substantially half of the wavelength of the frequency of operation of the microwave antenna array. The microwave antenna array is formed by a series of microwave antenna elements interleaved between the rungs and the screen acts as a reflector to reflect signals from the microwave antenna elements towards the centre of the bore tube.05-13-2010
20100253349PARAMETRIC AMPLIFIER DEVICE - A parametric amplifier device has a two port parametric amplifier, a DC voltage generator and a DC bias regulator. The bias regulator has a voltage regulator, an attenuator and a summer. Output voltages from the regulator and the attenuator are added in the summer.10-07-2010
20100253353UPCONVERTER - A magnetic resonance imaging system upconverter stage has a number of local coils and a number of upconverters to receive a signal from an output of each coil. Each upconverter has a number of two port upconverter cores, each core having a first port to receive a signal from a local coil and a second port to output an upconverted signal at upper and lower sideband frequencies through an antenna coupled to the second port. The inputs of the plurality of upconverter cores are connected in parallel, and at least one antenna is associated with the second port of each core.10-07-2010
20110059716UPCONVERTER - A hybrid upconverter has a low noise amplifier and a two port parametric amplifier. The parametric amplifier has a first port to receive an input signal to be amplified and upconverted and a second port to receive a local oscillator signal and to output the amplified, upconverted signal at upper and lower sideband frequencies. The parametric amplifier further has an antenna coupled to the second port to receive the local oscillator signal and transmit the amplified, upconverted signal at upper and lower sideband frequencies. The low noise amplifier drives the first port of the parametric amplifier. The two port parametric amplifier has a pair of varactor diodes connected between the first port and the second port. The diodes are connected in parallel from the first port and in series from the second port. The low noise amplifier is connected directly to the pair of varactor diodes.03-10-2011
