| 20100219306 | Manual Roller Shade Having Clutch Mechanism, Chain Guide And Universal Mounting - A manual roller shade includes a clutch mechanism having a gear train transferring rotation of an input sprocket to rotation of an output member engaging a roller tube. The gear train includes a sun gear, planet gears supported by a carrier and engaging the sun gear, and a ring gear engaging the planet gears. According to one embodiment, the carrier does not rotate. The ratio between the diameters of the input sprocket and the roller tube is selected to offset mechanical advantage of the gear train to provide an effective gear train ratio of approximately 2:1. A drive chain guide system includes spaced guide wheels controlling where a drive chain is suspended from the manual shade. A roller shade mounting system includes a bracket receiving either an input assembly of the manual roller shade or a motor of a motorized roller shade to facilitate conversion. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20100041019 | Methods of Screening for Respiratory Synctial Virus and Human Metapneumovirus - Provided are nucleic acid primers and probes for use in diagnostic assays to screen for respiratory infections, such as respiratory syncytial virus (“RSV”) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV). The primers and probes may be used to screen for RSV or hMPV in a singleplex assay or they may be used in a multiplex assay to simultaneously screen for RSV and hMPV, or RSV and/or hMPV and any of the following viruses: influenza A, and influenza B, parainfluenza viruses, adenovirus, coronavirus, and rhinoviruses. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100330548 | Nucleic Acid Primers and Probes for Detecting Human and Avian Influenza Viruses - Provided are nucleic acid sequences that are used to prepare primers and probes that are used in a kinetic polymerase chain reaction (kPCR) assay to detect influenza viruses in a human or animal subject. The starting material for the kPCR assays may be DNA or RNA and the assays may be conducted in a singleplex assay to detect a single influenza virus or in a multiplex assay to detect multiple influenza viruses. The primers and probes have utility in the detection and quantification of type A and type B influenza viruses (INFA and INFB, respectively) and have been shown to be effective for the detection and quantification of all the known INFA subtypes, namely, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H8, and H9. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110003309 | Non-Competitive Internal Controls for Use in Nucleic Acid Tests - Provided are non-competitive internal controls for use in nucleic acid tests (NATs), which are obtained from the organisms | 01-06-2011 |

| 20080294045 | Three Dimensional Ultrasonic Imaging Using Mechanical Probes with Beam Scanning Reversal - An ultrasonic probe for three dimensional scanning includes a one dimensional array transducer which is mechanically swept back and forth. As the array transducer is swept in one direction the array scans the volumetric region with image planes which are scanned from left to right. As the array transducer is swept in the opposite direction the direction of beam scanning is reverse so that the volumetric region is scanned with image planes which are scanned from right to left. The reversal of the beam scanning direction causes the scanned planes to be substantially aligned, resulting in a reduction in scanning artifacts. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20120123267 | THREE DIMENSIONAL FETAL HEART IMAGING BY NON-ECG PHYSIOLOGICAL GATED ACQUISITION - An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system acquires 3D data sets of the fetal heart by use of a gating signal synthesized from detected motion of the fetal heart. A sequence of temporally different echo signals are acquired from a location in the anatomy where motion representative of the heart cycle is to be estimated, such as a sample volume in the fetal carotid artery or an M line through the fetal myocardium. A heart cycle signal is synthesized from the detected motion and used to gate the acquisition of fetal heart image data at one or more desired phases of the fetal heart cycle. In an illustrated embodiment 3D data sets are acquired from multiple subvolumes, each over the full fetal heart cycle, then combined to produce a live 3D loop of the beating fetal heart. | 05-17-2012 |
