Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100282259THREE-DIMENSIONAL WAVEFORM DISPLAY FOR A BREATHING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - An apparatus configured to display a three-dimensional representation of a waveform for a breathing assistance system may include a processor and a display device. The processor may be configured to receive signals from one or more sensors over a plurality of time periods and generate multiple instances of a waveform based on the received signals, each instance corresponding to one of the plurality of time periods. The display device may be configured to cooperate with the processor to display a graphical three-dimensional representation of the waveform over time. The three-dimensional representation may include graphical representations of the multiple instances of the waveform displayed simultaneously.11-11-2010

20090259273USING TELEMETRY COUPLING AS A SURROGATE FOR RECHARGER COUPLING - Techniques for using telemetry signal strength for positioning a primary recharge coil of a recharging unit at a location proximate to an Implantable Medical Device (IMD) in preparation to recharge a rechargeable power source of the IMD are disclosed. An antenna of the recharging unit is positioned proximate to the IMD, a telemetry session is initiated between the two devices, and a value indicative of the telemetry signal strength is obtained. Using a known correspondence between telemetry signal strength and recharge coupling efficiency for the IMD/recharging unit pair, the telemetry signal strength value is used to determine whether adequate recharge coupling may be achieved between the pair of devices. If so, a recharge session may be established. Otherwise, the antenna is repositioned and the process is repeated. The correspondence between telemetry signal strength and recharge coupling efficiency for the device pair may be developed empirically or using modeling.10-15-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100319216CYCLING SHOE WITH REAR ENTRY - A shoe comprising a sole and an upper secured to the sole. The upper includes a heel portion movable relative to a mid portion from an open position to a closed position. A securing mechanism (e.g., a lace and a dial for tightening the lace) is coupled between the heel portion and the mid portion. Preferably, the dial is secured near an edge of the mid portion near an instep opening, and the lace is positioned in a passageway in the mid portion. The heel portion can comprise a flexible fabric that acts as a living hinge to facilitate pivotal movement of the heel portion relative to the mid portion at a pivot point positioned above the sole and rearward of the mid portion. Preferably, the heel portion includes a wide portion and a narrow portion (e.g., defining the pivot point) below the wide portion.12-23-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110077216COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND OTHER RELATED DISEASES - The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of atherosclerosis and other related diseases. In some embodiments, a method comprises providing a composition and forming a coating of the composition on at least a portion of the interior and/or exterior surface of a tissue lumen or other body surface. The composition may remain associated with the tissue lumen or other body surface even in the presence of a strong flow of a fluid (e.g., blood flow in a blood vessel). The composition may associate with the tissue lumen via a plurality of covalent bonds. In some cases, the compositions may comprise at least one additive, for example, a therapeutically active agent or an imaging agent.03-31-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100217670REBROADCASTING OF ADVERTISEMENTS IN A SOCIAL NETWORK - The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that receives at a server a first request to rebroadcast a first sponsored content item that was displayed on the social network to the first user to a second user. A second request to display at least one sponsored content item to the second user when the second user accesses an electronic document associated with the social network is received at the server. The first sponsored content item is retrieved for rebroadcast from one or more sponsored content items indicated for rebroadcast to the second user. The first sponsored content item is output to the second user of the social network in response to the second request to display and without requiring the second user to select the first sponsored content item for display.08-26-2010

20110253997SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Provided is a semiconductor device using a p-type oxide semiconductor layer and a method of manufacturing the same. The device includes the p-type oxide layer formed of at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of a copper(Cu)-containing copper monoxide, a tin(Sn)-containing tin monoxide, a copper tin oxide containing a Cu—Sn alloy, and a nickel tin oxide containing a Ni—Sn alloy. Thus, transparent or opaque devices are easily developed using the p-type oxide layer. Since an oxide layer that is formed using a low-temperature process is applied to a semiconductor device, the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device is simplified and manufacturing costs may be reduced.10-20-2011
