| 20090305816 | MULTILAYER GOLF BALL - The present invention encompasses a golf ball having a diameter and being comprised of a core and a cover, wherein the core is further comprised of a fluid mass at the center of the ball, and a first, solid, non-wound mantle layer surrounding the fluid mass, wherein the first mantle layer comprises a copolymer or terpolymer of ethylene and an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid, the acid being neutralized at least 80% by a salt of an organic acid, a cation source, or a suitable base of the organic acid, and wherein the cover comprises polyurethane, polyurea, or a polyurea/polyurethane hybrid. Preferably, the rate of spin decay is at least 10% of an initial spin rate of the golf ball over the entire ball flight. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20100071166 | NOVELTY GLIDERS FOR WALKERS - A glider that attaches to the bottom of the legs of a walker is disclosed. The glider, preferably a ball made from wood, provides the walker with additional stability and mobility. The glider includes a hole with a rubber stopper that secures the glider to the leg of a walker. A screw is first inserted into the glider and then a design is created on the glider. The screw is removed and then a hole is drilled over the same spot, large enough to fit the leg of a walker. A rubber stopper is inserted into the hole to help secure the leg of the walker to the glider. A scribe line can be included around the opposite end of the glider to inform users of when to replace the glider. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20100184724 | COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING AND/OR PREVENTING DISEASES CHARACTERIZED BY THE PRESENCE OF METAL IONS - The present invention generally relates to the treatment and/or prevention of Alzheimer's disease, other neurodegenerative diseases, and/or diseases characterized by the presence of certain metal ions, by using certain compositions including organosilicon compounds. A composition of the invention may be administered to a mammal, such as a human. In some cases, the composition may include a silanol, a silandiol, a silantriol, or a cyclic organosilane, and/or be able to form a silanol, a silandiol, or a silantriol upon exposure to physiological conditions such as are found in the blood, in the stomach and/or gastrointestinal tract, or in the brain or other organ. In certain cases, the organosilicon compound may be bound to a moiety able to be transported across the blood-brain barrier into the brain, for example, an amino acid, a peptide, a protein, a virus, etc. The organosilicon compound may also be labeled (e.g., fluorescently or radioactively) in certain instances. In some embodiments, the composition, or a portion thereof, may sequester aluminum, copper, iron or other ions, for example, by electrostatically binding to the ions. The composition may also include other functionalities such as amines, certain alkyl and/or aryl moieties (including substituted alkyls and/or aryls), or hydrophobic moieties, for example, to facilitate transport of the organosilicon compound through the blood-brain barrier. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110117603 | ENHANCEMENT OF CELLULAR PRODUCTION THROUGH MECHANOTRANSDUCTION - Disclosed herein are methods of modulating protein production via the application of tensegrity forces on cells and cell cultures. The methods of the invention increase production of protein from cells and cell culture. The tensegrity forces can be stress that is applied to the cells, and can include one or more of the following: mechanical stress, shear stress, stretch effects, and pressure induced stress. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20100136025 | VIRAL INACTIVATION DURING PURIFICATION OF ANTIBODIES CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS - Described herein are methods for isolating and purifying antibodies from a sample matrix. One aspect of the present disclosure is directed to viral reduction/inactivation of samples generated in the various steps of antibody purification. In a particular aspect, methods herein employ an acidification step followed by one or more chromatography steps. The chromatography steps can include one or more of the following chromatographic procedures: ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100172862 | STABLE ANTIBODY COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF STABILIZING SAME - The invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting fractionation of immunoglobulins comprising a lambda light chain based on the observation that iron, in the presence of histidine, results in increased fragmentation of a recombinant fully human IgG molecule containing a lambda light chain due to cleavage in the hinge region. The invention further provides an aqueous pharmaceutical formulation comprising an antibody, or antigen-binding portion thereof, that binds the p40 subunit of IL-12/IL-23 and a buffer system comprising histidine, wherein the formulation has enhanced stability, including enhanced resistance to fragmentation. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20100076438 | KEEL PUNCH IMPACTOR WITH CONNECTION DEVICE - A keel punch impactor comprises a main body having an interior bore. A locking shaft is positioned in the interior bore of the main body, the locking shaft defining a shaft axis. An actuator is in contact with the locking shaft. The actuator is moveable between a first position and a second position. The position of the locking shaft is moved within the interior bore of the main body upon movement of the actuator. In particular, the locking shaft is moved such that the shaft axis is offset when the actuator is moved from the first position to the second position. When the shaft is moved, a head on the shaft is moved into or out of alignment with a boss extending from the main body of the keel punch impactor. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20090140463 | GOLF BALL MIXING AND DISPENSING PROCESS - The present invention provides an improved process for mixing castable polyurethanes and polyureas and for prolonging the dispensing time for dispensing them into a golf ball mold for application to a golf ball sub-assembly. A nozzle framework includes support housing heaters and heater adaptors for each dispensing port to delay the onset of drool and improve cut off in the dispensing tubes. The combination of fluorinated dispensing ports, the heating of the polyureas or polyurethanes, and inclusion of a capillary orifice in each dispensing port significantly prolongs the time before the advent of drool is detected. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20110081490 | METHODS OF CURING POLYUREA PREPOLYMERS FOR GOLF BALLS - Multi-piece, solid golf balls having a cover material made from a polyurea or polyurea/urethane hybrid composition are provided. In one version of the method, the cover materials are prepared by forming a polyurea prepolymer which undergoes two curing steps. In the first step, the prepolymer is partially-cured by reacting it with hydroxyl curing agents, amine curing agents, or mixtures thereof. In the second step, the composition is moisture-cured using environmental controls such as humidity chambers or hot water baths. In another version, a polyurea prepolymer is prepared and then treated with an aqueous curative blend comprising an amine curing agent. The cured materials may be used to make a golf ball cover having improved durability, cut/tear resistance, and impact strength. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110081492 | METHODS OF CURING POLYURETHANE PREPOLYMERS FOR GOLF BALLS - Multi-piece, solid golf balls having a cover material made from a polyurethane/urea hybrid composition are provided. The balls include an inner core preferably made of polybutadiene and may include at least one intermediate layer disposed between the core and outer cover. The cover materials are prepared by first forming a polyurethane prepolymer which undergoes two curing steps. In the first step, the prepolymer is chemically-cured by reacting it with hydroxyl curing agents, amine curing agents, or mixtures thereof. In the second step, the composition is moisture-cured. The cured material may be used to make a golf ball cover having improved durability, cut/tear resistance, and impact strength. | 04-07-2011 |
