| 20080217283 | BEVERAGE CONTAINER SPOUT COVER, STORAGE RACK AND METHOD FOR USE - A beverage spout cover that may be configured to cover bottles that have been previously opened and fitted with standard bar/nightclub open-ended pourer. The cover preferably is configured to cover the bottle and help reduce contamination of the produce within the bottle by insects or otherwise, and at the same time be convenient for the user and attractive for the venue. In one arrangement, the cover provides ample room for the provision of branding or advertising indicia, such as the inclusion of brand names, product names, or other advertisements on the exterior of the cover. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20100308042 | COLLAPSIBLE CUP - A collapsible beverage container has a plurality of co-axially oriented, concentric cylindrical wall sections of progressively different diameters. The wall sections are extendable from a collapsed position wherein the wall sections substantially completely overlap in an axial direction to an extended position wherein the wall sections only partially overlap in an axial direction. The collapsible beverage container includes one or more elastomeric gaskets between adjacent cylindrical wall sections, each gasket providing a liquid-tight seal along the entire extension of the adjacent cylindrical wall sections between the extended and collapsed positions. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20120101523 | High-Strength Suture - A surgical suture is made of an elongate, hollow braid of high strength fibers. The braid defines an elongate, longitudinally-extending, central chamber that is open and without any core material extending therein so that, when a surgeon's knot is tied with the suture, the cross-sectional shape of the braid collapses upon itself and is reduced in size in response to pressures experienced when the knot is tightened thereby producing a low profile knot that resists slippage. Preferably, the braid is of a size corresponding to a USP size 5-0 to USP size 7 suture and has one or more, preferably a pair, of color contrasting monofilaments woven therein to enhance suture visibility. Methods of making a flattened suture and of utilizing the high strength suture to maintain body tissues in an engaged position to promote healing are also provided. | 04-26-2012 |

| 20090074672 | Tumor Boundary Imaging - Tumor boundaries and wound healing are optically imaged by cross-linking a fluorescently-labeled tissue transglutaminase substrate into extracellular matrix. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090074988 | Droplet Bilayers - The invention provides methods and apparatuses for making an artificial, amphiphilic bilayer using aqueous micro-droplets (1-1,000 um dia) in a water-immiscible solvent, wherein immediately surrounding each droplet is a monolayer of amphiphilic molecules; the general method comprising: juxtapositioning the droplets with a focused laser beam such that the monolayers merge to create a bilayer of the amphiphilic molecules between the droplets. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100121163 | Optical Microneedle-Based Spectrometer - Optical microneedles are adapted for near-infrared or mid-infrared in vivo spectroscopic sensing; and provide a MEMS-based spectrometer for continuous lactate and glucose monitoring by means of a near-infrared or mid-infrared optical microneedle array in a transdermal patch. | 05-13-2010 |

| 20100333043 | Terminating a Communication Session by Performing a Gesture on a User Interface - There is disclosed a wireless communication device for communicating with one or more remote devices. The device comprises a touch-sensitive surface, a user interface, and a transceiver. The user interface produces an input signal in response to detecting a predetermined gesture at the touch-sensitive surface. The transceiver communicates wirelessly with a remote device and terminates communication with the remote device in response to the input signal from the user interface. The device determines that it is communicating the remote device, detects the predetermined gesture at the touch-sensitive surface, and terminates communication with the remote device in response to detecting the predetermined gesture while communicating with the remote device. The predetermined gesture includes continuous contact at the touch-sensitive surface between discrete locations of the surface. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20080293030 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OFFERING EDUCATIONAL COURSES OVER A NETWORK - A software and/or hardware facility for enabling an institution to construct educational courses that may be delivered over a network is disclosed herein. The facility simplifies the construction of courses by allowing course materials to be reused and tailored on an institution-by-institution basis. Institutions may select an existing course and modify the existing course by adding, deleting, or modifying course content, sequencing, assignments, test materials, gating events, and/or course parameters. Once constructed by an institution, the course may be added to the institution's course catalog for delivery over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. In some embodiments a student is allowed to enroll in and complete a course at their own pace. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20090216325 | Method And Apparatus For Providing Resorbable Fixation Of Press-Fit Implants - A press-fit prosthesis for replacing a portion of a bone. The prosthesis can comprise a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The second side can be operable to engage the bone. The prosthesis can include at least one resorbable fixation member coupled to the second side such that the at least one resorbable fixation member does not extend through to the first side. The at least one resorbable fixation member can be coupled offset from a center of the second side. The at least one resorbable fixation member can substantially resist movement of the prosthesis relative to the bone. The at least one resorbable fixation member can resorb at a rate that enables bone in-growth to fixedly couple the prothesis to the bone. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20110060671 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO COLLECTIONS CYCLE OPTIMIZATION - Methods and systems are provided for an integrated approach to collections cycle optimization including optimizing personnel, communications, and collection resolutions, resulting in reducing the variability of the collections cycle, reducing instances of foreclosure in collections, while increasing borrower satisfaction with the collections process. Candidate loan officers are selected based on behavioral attributes, personnel history, and human resources information, among other factors. Scripts that improve the effectiveness of communication between loan collection staff and borrowers are generated. An optimized collection program to best suit the needs of a particular borrower is determined. | 03-10-2011 |
