| 20110088694 | Integrated, Extendable Anesthesia System - The specification describes anesthesia systems with an integrated, extendable clinical center and clinician/anesthesia office that accommodates for physical separation of clinical and clerical functions. The disclosed anesthesia systems allow for a portion of the system to be brought closer to the patient such that clinical controls can be accessed while tending to the patient airway, without compromising office space available to the clinician or crowding the patient area. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20120029386 | Ambient Noise Canceling Physiological Acoustic Monitoring System & Method - The present invention is an ambient noise canceling physiological acoustic monitoring system and method. The system and method utilizes a plurality of microphones to collect input data including ambient noise signals, bed frame noise signals and patient respiratory and cardiac data signals. The system and method cancels the ambient noise and bed frame noise signals, and calculates a filtered audio output signal with an algorithm that utilizes ECG rhythm patterns and impedance pneumography. The set of input data and the filtered audio output signal are then displayed in real time. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20090070894 | PLANTS HAVING IMPROVED GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME - The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for increasing plant yield relative to suitable control plants plants. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for increasing plant yield comprising increasing expression in a plant of a nucleic acid encoding a Dof (DNA-binding with one finger) domain transcription factor polypeptide. The present invention also concerns plants having increased expression of a nucleic acid encoding a Dof domain transcription factor polypeptide, which plants have increased yield relative to suitable control plants. The invention also provides constructs useful in the methods of the invention. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090113572 | Starchy-endosperm and/or germinating embryo-specific expression in mono-cotyledonous plants - The present invention relates to the field of agricultural biotechnology. Disclosed herein are expression constructs with expression specificity for the starchy endosperm and/or the germinating embryo, transgenic plants comprising such expression constructs, and methods of making and using such DNA constructs and transgenic plants. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090144863 | Expression Enhancing Intron Sequences - The invention relates to methods for the identification and use of introns with gene expression enhancing properties. The teaching of this invention enables the identification of introns causing intron-mediated enhancement (IME) of gene expression. The invention furthermore relates to recombinant expression construct and vectors comprising said IME-introns operably linked with a promoter sequence and a nucleic acid sequence. The present invention also relates to transgenic plants and plant cells transformed with these recombinant expression constructs or vectors, to cultures, parts or propagation material derived there from, and to the use of same for the preparation of foodstuffs, animal feeds, seed, pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, to improve plant biomass, yield, or provide desirable phenotypes. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100229259 | PLANTS HAVING IMPROVED GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME - The present invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and concerns a method for improving plant growth characteristics. More specifically, the present invention concerns a method for improving plant growth characteristics by modulating expression in a plant of a plant nucleic acid encoding a cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) and/or by modulating activity in a plant of a plant CDK protein, which CDK protein comprises different motifs or which CDK nucleic acid encodes such protein. The present invention also concerns plants having modulated expression of a plant CDK nucleic acid and/or modulated activity of a plant CDK protein, which CDK protein comprises different sequence motifs or which nucleic acid encodes such protein and which plants have improved growth characteristics relative to corresponding wild type plants. The invention additionally relates to specific nucleic acid sequences encoding for the aforementioned proteins having the aforementioned plant growth improving activity, nucleic acid constructs, vectors and plants containing said nucleic acid sequences. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20100286043 | USE OF NEUREGULIN-1 IN REDUCING BRAIN DAMAGE - Methods of reducing and/or protecting against disorders in perinatal subjects are disclosed. Such methods can be used for disorders associated with neuronal cell damage. In certain aspects, the method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of neuregulin or a biologically active analog with a pharmaceutical carrier to a perinatal subject. In addition, the perinatal subject can be a fetus where the neuregulin is administered to the pregnant mother. Methods for assessing whether a perinatal subject is at risk for developing a neurological disorder are also disclosed. For example, expression levels of neuregulin can be used as an indication the perinatal subject is at risk for developing a disorder associated with neuronal cell damage. Evaluating the genotype of the NRG locus in a perinatal subject can also be used as an indicator of the risk of developing neurological disorders. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20100020066 | THREE DIMENSIONAL IMAGING METHOD AND APPARATUS - Three-dimensional imaging techniques are used for a visualization method and apparatus. In a preferred embodiment, terrain data is displayed as a series of pixels—areas of terrain elevation data. Individual pixels are analyzed to determine whether they are locally smooth or “warpable” relative to their surrounding neighbor pixels. Those pixels that are locally relatively “smooth,” i.e., those satisfying a given set of criteria, are joined with adjacent neighbor pixels by a process referred to herein as “warping” to create “smooth,” gap-free surfaces. A preferred embodiment includes drawing or generating lines between the centers of two pairs of adjacent pixels to determine a slopes m | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090166417 | System and Method for Independently Auditing a Paper Record of Votes Cast on a Voting Machine - A system for independently auditing a paper record of votes cast on a voting machine includes an automated reading device and a computing device. The automated reading device comprises a transport mechanism operable to move the paper record across a paper transport area, and a reader operable to read at least a portion of the paper record as it moves across the paper transport area. Preferably, the automated reading device includes a control panel that allows a user to operate the transport mechanism, and a viewing window that allows a user to view the paper record as it moves across the paper transport area. The computing device is operable to receive data from the automated reading device, process at least a portion of the data to generate vote tallies for the voting machine, and output at least a portion of the data and/or vote tallies for review by a user. | 07-02-2009 |
