| 20100002719 | MAP MESSAGE EXPEDIENCY MONITORING AND AUTOMATIC DELAY ADJUSTMENTS IN M-CMTS - An M-CMTS compatible UEQAM device implements circuitry to identify and analyze MAP message in the data stream sent from the M-CMTS Core with respect to timing information embedded in those messages. The improved UEQAM will then create a specific message as an extension to DEPI to communicate that information to the M-CMTS Core. The M-CMTS Core will employ that analysis to automatically adjust MAP message advance time to reduce delay and thus improve system performance. This invention will provide a closed-loop between the M-CMTS Core and the UEQAM where valuable transmission information will periodically be fed back from UEQAM-to-M-CMTS Core in real-time. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20100282046 | Volume Control Device - The volume control device temporarily alters the loudness of an electric musical instrument by allowing all (or part) of the audio signal to leak through a photosensitive resistor to ground. A light source is positioned so as to affect the value of the photosensitive resistor. The user indirectly controls the audio level by manipulating the light source in various ways: a control switch turns the light on and off; a selector switch determines whether the light source is normally off and turned on by the control switch, or vice versa; the brightness of the light source is adjusted by a variable resistor; and the time taken for the light to reach maximum brightness is controlled by an RC circuit. The device is removable and compatible with any electric instrument. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20090098115 | Cell lines and animal models of HER2 expressing tumors - The present invention concerns cell lines and animal models of HER2-expressing tumors. In particular, the invention concerns cell lines and animal models of HER2-expressing tumors not responding or responding poorly to treatment with trastuzumab (HERCEPTIN®, Genentech, Inc.). The animal models and cell lines of the invention are useful for evaluating the efficacy of various therapeutic approaches for the treatment of such tumors. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20090030338 | ACCESS GUIDE AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME - Devices and methods for guiding surgical tools are disclosed. The guided surgical tools can be used to extract body tissue from an enclosed body cavity. The guide can have multiple channels for the surgical tools to pass through the guide. The channels can converge and exit at a single exit port. The channels can have distinct entry ports. The guide can have a configuration to provide stable seating at or adjacent to the target site. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090131827 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TISSUE DISRUPTION - Apparatus and methods for tissue disruption are disclosed where a tissue disruptor may have various configurations extending from the distal end of a flexible aspiration cannula. The devices can have aspiration and/or irrigation systems configured to provide aspiration pressure and/or irrigate with fluid at the distal end of the cannula. The cannula can be configured to rotate or disrupt the matrix of bone marrow and extract the marrow in vivo through a single opening. The cannula shaft itself may be fabricated utilizing multiple layers of material such that the cannula is flexible yet sufficiently stiff to transmit a torque therealong. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090192473 | SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLED CLOSURE OF BODY LUMENS - Systems for controlled closure of body lumens may utilize a single access port which is attached to a vessel wall and allows for controlled closure and/or insertion of small to large sized instruments and catheters. The vascular access device generally includes a first frame and a second frame having an access port secured between the respective frames, e.g. via adhesive, welding, etc. Each respective frame may be configured to include a support member which may be shaped in a variety of configurations so long as an access opening is defined by the support member. A number of retaining members may extend radially from its respective support member and each retaining member may be configured so as to compress or “sandwich” the vessel tissue which surrounds the tissue opening between the retaining members on the inner and outer surfaces of tissue to securely position the device along the vessel wall. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090275918 | PANCREATIC DELIVERY CATHETER - Pancreatic delivery catheters which facilitate direct intravascular access to the pancreas are described herein. A catheter which is configured particularly for pancreatic access may generally comprise a distal section which defines three curves each extending in an alternating pattern and a proximal section with an additional curve in an opposing direction. A primary curve defined along the distal section may define an acute angle with respect to a secondary curve and which also curves in an opposite direction. The secondary curve may define an acute angle with respect to both the primary curve and a tertiary curve which is proximal of the secondary curve. Similarly, a tertiary curve may extend in an opposite direction from the secondary curve. A quaternary curve along the proximal section may extend in an opposite direction from the tertiary curve. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20090100268 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS CONTROL TO SECURED DATA - In a system for providing access control management to electronic data, techniques to secure the electronic data and keep the electronic data secured at all times are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a secured file or secured document includes two parts: an attachment, referred to as a header, and an encrypted document or data portion. The header includes security information that points to or includes the access rules and a file key. The access rules facilitate restrictive access to the secured document and essentially determine who/when/how/where the secured document can be accessed. The file key is used to encrypt/decrypt the encrypted data portion. Only those who have the proper access privileges are permitted to retrieve the file key to encrypt/decrypt the encrypted data portion. | 04-16-2009 |
