| 20100148844 | System And Method For Common Mode Translation - System and method for common mode translation in continuous-time sigma-delta analog-to-digital converters. An embodiment includes a loop filter having an RC network coupled to a differential signal input, a Gm-C/Quantizer/DAC circuit (GQD) coupled to the loop filter, a common-mode level adjust circuit coupled to signal inputs of the GQD, and a tuning circuit coupled to the GQD and the common-mode level adjust circuit. The GQD evaluates an input signal provided by the RC network, computes a difference between a filtered input signal and the feedback quantization signal to generate an error signal, measures the error signal, and compensates for the error signal with sigma-delta noise-shaping. The common-mode level adjust circuit alters a common-mode level of a differential input signal to be substantially equal to a desired common-mode level and the tuning circuit provides a compensation voltage to the common-mode level adjust circuit based on a difference between the common-mode levels. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20100158027 | Methods and apparatus for data communications through packet networks - An improved data communication technique may be employed with modems through a packet network. The disclosed technique facilitates a virtual end-to-end connection between two modems such that the two modems can effectively behave as if directly connected to each other, unaware of any modifications to the data being transferred or to the protocols configured within the communication connection. Preferably, a data communication system for carrying out the communication technique demodulates data coming from a first modem, transports the demodulated data in packets between two gateways, and then remodulates the data before delivering to a second modem at the other end. In accordance with various aspects of the present invention, various alternatives for calling and quality of service set-up mechanisms, the establishment of a communication session, the transport of data during a communication session, the flow control between all system components involved, and the mechanisms for the termination of communications are also provided. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20110268795 | Compositions and methods for inducing satiety and treating non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, prediabetic symptoms, insulin resistance and related disease states and conditions - The invention provides methods of treatment that induce satiety in a subject for a period of at least around twenty-four hours by once-daily administration to the subject of a controlled release dosage form, wherein the dosage form is administered while the subject is in the fasted state and at a time of around six to around nine hours prior to the subject's next intended meal, and wherein the dosage form comprises a controlled release composition, which comprises an enterically-coated, ileum hormone-stimulating amount of a nutritional substance and releases the majority of the nutritional substance in vivo upon reaching the subject's ileum. The invention also provides a diagnostic tool for probing the health and disease state of the ileal hormones, excess or deficiencies. The invention provides a safe vehicle for targeted deliveries of chemical, pharmaceuticals, natural substances and nutrition to the ileum. The present invention also provides a method for treating noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus, pre-diabetic symptoms, and insulin resistance, as well as a number of disease states and conditions including gastrointestinal disorders as otherwise described herein. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20110189266 | CORTICOSTEROID MICROVESICLES FOR TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES - The invention provides a use of a long-circulating microvesicle comprising a sterol, partially synthetic or wholly synthetic vesicle-forming phospholipids, and a corticosteroid in water soluble form, which microvesicle has a mean particle diameter size range of between about 75 and 150 nm and which microvesicle is non-charged or negatively charged at physiological conditions, for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of atherosclerosis and/or cardiovascular disease. A method for treating a subject suffering from, or at risk of suffering from, atherosclerosis and/or cardiovascular disease, comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of such long-circulating microvesicles is also provided. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20110311457 | METHODS FOR IMAGING VASCULAR INFLAMMATION USING IMPROVED NANOPARTICLE CONTRAST AGENTS - The present invention also provides methods and compositions for imaging and evaluating, e.g., blood flow or inflammation in a subject. Such evaluations are important in a number of clinical diagnoses, including assessing organ damage associated with angina pectoris, heart attack, stroke, cancer, atherosclerosis, and the like, as well as assessing vessel leakages associated with aneurisms, diffuse bleedings after trauma, and the like. | 12-22-2011 |
