Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110077076SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USING IMAGES TO GENERATE GAMEPLAY CONTENT - Systems and methods for using images to generate gameplay content are disclosed herein. Specifically, for example, one aspect of the present disclosure involves a method for altering a virtual world generated by a video game system. The method includes obtaining one or more images from sources external to the video game system and processing the one or more images to obtain one or more inputs. The one or more inputs are provided to a gameplay engine to alter an output of the gameplay engine.03-31-2011

20100209952Methods For Diagnosis And Monitoring Of Neurological Disease By Detection Of An Excephalotoxin - Encephalotoxin produced by activated mononuclear phagocytes is present in individuals having neurological disease including neurodegenerative and neuro-inflammatory diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment, prion disease, minor cognitive/motor dysfunction, acute stroke, acute trauma, or neuro-AIDS. Biochemical detection of encephalotoxin according to the methods of the invention will allow diagnosis of neurological disease in early, presymptomatic stages, thereby allowing early intervention in disease progression as well as identification of subjects or populations at risk for developing neurodegenerative disease. The methods of the invention also provide a mechanism for monitoring progression and treatment of neurological disease.08-19-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110132974METHOD FOR ATTACHING POROUS METAL LAYER TO A METAL SUBSTRATE - A method for attaching a porous metal layer to a dense metal substrate, wherein the method is particularly useful in forming orthopedic implants such as femoral knee components, femoral hip components, and/or acetabular cups. The method, in one embodiment thereof, comprises providing a solid metal substrate; providing a porous metal structure; contouring a surface of the porous metal structure; placing the porous structure against the substrate such that the contoured surface of the porous metal structure is disposed against the substrate, thereby forming an assembly; applying heat and pressure to the assembly in conjunction with thermal expansion of the substrate in order to metallurgically bond the porous structure and the substrate; and removing mass from the substrate after the porous structure is bonded to the substrate, thereby finish processing the assembly.06-09-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100281580USE OF A GENE ENCODING A HISTIDINE PROTEIN KINASE TO CREATE DROUGHT RESISTANT PLANTS - Plant expression vectors that include promoter sequences operably linked to heterologous ATHK1 polynucleotides, or complements thereof, encoding polypeptides at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:26, where the polynucleotides encode polypeptides that confers drought resistance in the plants. Also provided are transgenic plants with increased drought resistance, methods for creating such plants, overexpressors, and underexpressors of ATHK1. Methods for enhancing drought resistance in plants are also provided.11-04-2010
