20090143650MINIATURIZED, DERMAL-ADHESIVE-BASED DEVICE FOR POSITION-INDEPENDENT, NON-INVASIVE FETAL MONITORING - A system for fetal position-independent, non-invasive fetal monitoring includes a plurality of disposable adhesive patches for placement on an expectant mother's upper and lower abdomen. Each of the patches includes one or more miniature electronic devices embedded within the adhesive patches to detect: (i) heart sounds of a fetus within the mother, (ii) heart sounds of the mother, and (iii) signals indicative of uterine contractions of the mother. A processing hub having a receiver to receive signals from the plurality of patches, wherein the processing hub receives and processes primary signal from the primary patch and the secondary signals from the secondary patches to triangulate the location of the fetus, cancel noise in the primary signal and increase the amplitude of the primary signal for more reliable reporting.06-04-2009
20100004715SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED MUSCLE STIMULATION - The invention provides systems and methods for neuromuscular electrical stimulation to muscle tissue. Stimulation electrodes and sensors may be provided, such that signals provided by the sensors may affect the signals provided to the stimulation electrodes, thus providing a feedback. Stimulation electrodes may be provided on a stimulation pad and sensors may be provided on a sensing pad, which may be designed to conform to an anatomical feature. A system for neuromuscular electrical stimulation may also include temperature sensitive elements that may help prevent burns, especially for comatose, sedated, or patients in critical condition. The system may also include a cooling assembly for a stimulation pad.01-07-2010
20100057149DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD TO IMPROVE POWERED MUSCLE STIMULATION PERFORMANCE IN THE PRESENCE OF TISSUE EDEMA - The invention provides systems and methods for neuromuscular electrical stimulation to muscle tissue. Stimulation electrodes may be provided on a stimulation pad, configured to provide electrical stimulation to a target tissue. A system for neuromuscular electrical stimulation may also include pressure generating mechanisms that may provide a compressive force to a region with the target tissue, thereby removing some excess third space fluid from the region.03-04-2010

20100103955POWER MANAGEMENT OF A NETWORK DEVICE - In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a synchronization command to synchronize time information among each component of a set of components in a communication path. The method includes generating a power state message. The method includes transmitting the power state message, by the first component, to the remaining components in the communication path. The power state message is configured to reduce the power consumption of the remaining components of the set of components from a first power amount to a second power amount for a time period and the time period is associated with the synchronized time information.04-29-2010

20080257448ORIENTATION-INDEPENDENT FLUID DELIVERY APPARATUS - A fluid delivery device that may be used in any orientation is presented. The device includes a container, a first fluid in the container space, an inlet opening attached to a bladder, and an outlet opening. A second fluid enters the container through the inlet opening. The bladder, which receives the second fluid as it enters the container, expands with the amount of second fluid that is received. As more of the second fluid is received and the bladder expands, the first fluid is pushed out of the container through the outlet opening. The device may be used as a tire repair system, for example by coupling the inlet opening to an air compressor and coupling the outlet tube to a tire. The first fluid that's in the container space would be a sealant composition in this case. Different embodiments of the bladder are possible depending on the application.10-23-2008

20100022509Inhibitors of MshC and Homologs Thereof, and Methods of Identifying Same - The present invention utilizes three families of bacterial enzymes, which play a key role in mycothiol biosynthesis. The three families are bacterial cysteine:glucosaminyl inositol ligases (MshC) with catalytic ligase activity for ligation of glucosaminyl inositol and cysteine, bacterial acetyl-CoA:Cys-GlcN-Ins acetyltransferases (MshD) with catalytic activity for addition of an acetyl group to Cys-GlcN-Ins and bacterial MshA glycosyltransferase with catalytic activity for production of GlcNAc-Ins. The invention provides methods for using the mycothiol biosynthesis ligases, acetyltransferases or glycosyltransferases in drug screening assays to determine compounds that inhibit activity. The invention also provides inhibitors of the production or activity of the enzymes of mycothiol biosynthesis, and use of the inhibitors for treating microbial infection.01-28-2010
