20110224138METHODS FOR TREATING PAIN INDUCED BY INJURIES AND DISEASES OF AN ARTICULAR JOINT - Described herein are methods for using bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), such as OP-1 (also known as BMP-7), to treat pain caused by osteoarthritis. The methods involve administering to a patient suffering from pain caused by osteoarthritis a BMP, for example, intraarticularly by injection directly into the joint afflicted with osteoarthritis. The methods of the invention provide long-term pain relief to sufferers of osteoarthritis and can improve the functionality of the joint to which the BMP is administered.09-15-2011

20090194181Fluidic System with Improved Flow Characteristics - The invention relates to a fluidic system that includes a body structure having a chamber disposed therein. The fluidic system includes at least one fluid input at a first end of the chamber and at least one fluid output at a second end of the chamber. The fluidic system also includes a sensor device (e.g., an acoustic device) having a surface defining a portion of a surface of the chamber. The fluidic system also includes a first surface at the first end of the chamber oriented at an oblique or arcuate (e.g., curved) angle relative to the surface of the sensor device to direct fluid through the chamber.08-06-2009
20090269248METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYTE PROCESSING - A system for processing analytes in samples includes an instrument and a cartridge. The cartridge includes fluid inputs, input and output valve assemblies, processing devices, fluid reservoirs, and channels for carrying samples from the fluid inputs to the fluid reservoirs. The valve assemblies include valves adapted to form a sealed fluid chamber in response to force applied by a movable head assembly of the instrument. Each fluid reservoir is adapted to mate and align with an air displacement pump interface member. A valve assembly includes a recess wall surrounding a recess and a valve assembly wall surrounding both the recess and the recess wall. The recess wall and the valve assembly walls are adapted to mate with and seal against a flexible sheet covering the recess, the recess wall, and the valve assembly wall. The cartridge and instrument include complementary features for finely and coarsely aligning instrument assemblies with portions of the cartridge.10-29-2009
