| 20080299117 | Treatment Method - The invention provides methods of treating autoimmune diseases using lower doses of anti-CD20 antibodies of 100 mg to 200 mg effective to deplete B cells in the patient. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090011988 | METHOD FOR TREATING CARTILAGE DISORDERS - The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of a cartilage disorder, including cartilage damaged by injury or degenerative cartilagenous disorders. The method involves contacting the cartilage with an IGF-1 analog with altered affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) or an IGFBP displacer peptide that prevents the interaction of an IGF with an IGFBP and does not bind to a human IGF receptor. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20100130411 | METHOD FOR TREATING CARTILAGE DISORDERS - The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of a cartilage disorder, including cartilage damaged by injury or degenerative cartilagenous disorders. The method involves contacting the cartilage with an IGF-1 analog with altered affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) or an IGFBP displacer peptide that prevents the interaction of an IGF with an IGFBP and does not bind to a human IGF receptor. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20110003746 | Protein variants - IGF-I variants having an alanine, glycine, or serine amino acid residue at position 16, 25, 49 or at positions 3 and 49 of native-sequence IGF-I are provided that are useful to treat a disorder characterized by dysregulation of the GH/IGF axis in a mammal, such as a renal disorder. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20100258449 | Self-sufficient hydrogen generator - A self-sustaining, fully automated, hydrogen generator that utilizes the ocean's currents, tides, and water to produce vast amounts of hydrogen and oxygen. Additional electricity may be supplied by locally generated means including offshore wind, offshore geothermal, as well as wave powered generation. Hydrogen is exported as well as the oxygen not consumed by the life support systems. Residue collected from the ocean water purification process is collected and exported for use elsewhere or dispersed locally around the underwater facility. Systems orchestration is achieved by control systems that operate independently of one another with no single point of failure. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100283258 | Uninterruptible solar power - Solar energy storage is achieved by capturing the rotational energy produced by a solar thermal energy system's turbines, and storing that energy in an energy storage spring, via a gear or a connected gear box/transmission, in a very efficient and scalable manner. Another gear box/transmission connected to the energy storage spring provides uninterrupted rotational energy, at a constant rate, to the system's electric generators, making it possible to provide base-load power. The stored rotational energy may also be released only during periods of peak demand, providing frequency regulation, in what is known as a peaker power plant. Previously, this instant on and off operation was only available in hydroelectric power plants. Stored rotational energy may also be utilized to provide a continuous pumping means, as well as to energize other machinery that relies on rotational energy, whereby performing work without generating electricity or burning fuel of any sort. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110037265 | Hollow turbine - A turbine which incorporates intake and exhaust pipes that prevent the passing flow from interfering with, or impeding the operation of the turbine. An optional directional cone, with optional helical supports, mounts within the intake pipe and channels flow at an optimal angle to the turbine blades as well as to the outermost, from the axis of rotation, area of the blade's surface, increasing torque and thus efficiency. The turbine's blades are affixed to the inner surface of a cylindrical shell that is free to rotate within a supporting structure. The cylindrical shell also contains the stationary intake and exhaust pipes. The vacant axis of rotation can be closed or open, by means of shorter blades that form a hole with the distal edges of the blades to allow for passing fish and debris to safely exit. Rotational energy is transferred from the outer surface of the cylindrical shell by gears or belts. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110127777 | Grid power storage and frequency regulation - An apparatus to capture and store electricity, and then instantly retransmit it on demand, is disclosed. An electric motor transfers rotational energy to at least one energy storage spring that rotationally connects to an electric generator via a variety of rotational energy connecting elements. Utilizing energy storage springs in this manner enables intermittent generation from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, to provide base load electric power as well as providing frequency regulation to the national electric power grids. Electric grid power may be utilized when the price is low to compress the springs, and then released and transferred to an electric generator when the price of electricity is higher. Rotational energy storage may be utilized to provide backup power for applications of all sizes. It is efficient, scalable, and deployable almost anywhere. | 06-02-2011 |
