Alexander Galea, Dgl Dingli MT

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090020403Apparatus for actuating a switch element - An apparatus for actuating a switch element (01-22-2009

Anna Galea, Stow, MA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100280581Patient warming applique - A patient warming appliqué typically includes a cover layer, a tape layer for releasably securing the appliqué to the patient's skin and an array of encapsulated cells. The encapsulated cells include a chemical heating mechanism beneath the cover layer and a phase change gel sheet between the chemical heating mechanism and the tape layer. The phase change gel sheet is configured to melt and flow when the chemical heating mechanism is activated. The preferred appliqué further includes zones of weakness between the spaced cells allowing the individual cells or a subset of cells to be removed from the appliqué.11-04-2010
20110029045Galvanic vestibular stimulation system and method of use for simulation, directional cueing, and alleviating motion-related sickness - The present invention relates to systems and techniques for stimulating a user. For example, materials and methods for manipulating nystagmus and the related vestibular system with coupling of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) and visual cueing are provided herein. Use of GVS within the present invention may be applied to simulation, alleviating motion sickness, and directional cueing of a user to a precise target location.02-03-2011

Anthony Galea, Markham CA

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110121119STRETCH FILM AND METHOD OF FABRICATION THEREFOR - A method for producing a roll of stretch film comprises the steps of passing a stretch film web over a first roller, and winding the stretch film web around a second roller against the first roller, where the first roller has a surface for enabling the introduction of air into the wound stretch film web.05-26-2011

Jason David Galea, Watervliet, NY US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100117188METHOD FOR PRODUCING TRENCH ISOLATION IN SILICON CARBIDE AND GALLIUM NITRIDE AND ARTICLES MADE THEREBY - A method for fabricating a trench in a SiC or GaN semiconductor wafer is provided. The method may include filling the trench with a conformal layer of electrically and/or optically isolating material. A device is also provided.05-13-2010

Johann Galea, St. Julian'S MT

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110050155Softstarter device and method to control the softstarting of an electric motor - A self-adapting soft-starter device includes an electric current limiter limiting electric current supplied to the motor to a preset maximum current limit, a ramp-up time determiner determining the actual ramp-up time of the electric motor, a storing device storing a preset minimum ramp-up time, a comparator comparing the determined actual ramp-up time with the preset reference ramp-up time, a replacing device replacing the preset maximum current limit with an auto-adapted current limit based upon the outcome of the comparison between the determined actual ramp-up time and the preset reference ramp-up time. The soft-starter automatically optimizes the maximum current limit driven by the motor to match its load requirements which is useful to cater for load variations with time during the lifetime of the product in the application by avoiding the need for human intervention to change the soft-starter settings. Wear and tear is also reduced, extending motor lifetime.03-03-2011

Mary P. Galea, Queensland AU

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080254023Treating Gliosis, Glial Scarring, Inflammation or Inhibition of Axonal Growth in the Nervous System by Modulating Eph Receptor - The present invention relates to a method of treating disorders of the nervous system and more particularly disorders associated with a gliotic response and/or an inflammatory response within the central nervous system and to therapeutic agents useful for same. More particularly, the present invention involves a method of preventing or reducing the amount of Eph receptor-mediated gliosis and/or glial scarring and/or inflammation and/or Eph receptor-mediated inhibition of axonal growth which occurs during and/or after disease or injury to the nervous system. The present invention also facilitates the identification of therapeutic agents which modulate Eph receptor-mediated signaling. The method and therapeutic agents of the present invention are useful for treating a range of nervous system diseases, conditions and injuries including, inter alia, paralysis induced by physiological-, pathological- or trauma-induced injury to the brain or spinal cord.10-16-2008

Mary P. Galea, Victoria AU

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080255044Method of treatment - The present invention relates generally to a method of treatment and in particular a method of treating disorders of the nervous system such as arising from or during disease or injury. The method of the present invention involves manipulating expression of Eph receptors or their functional equivalents to increase or decrease expression or function depending on the condition being treated.10-16-2008

Pascale Galea, Marseille FR

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100167265VACCINE AGAINST INFECTIOUS AGENTS HAVING AN INTRACELLULAR PHASE, COMPOSITION FOR THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF HIV INFECTIONS, ANTIBODIES AND METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS - A vaccine for treating and/or preventing infectious diseases where the infectious agent has at least one intracellular phase in the host during its multiplication cycle, is disclosed. The vaccine comprises at least one cryptic epitope of a cellular element that is carried along by an intracellular infectious agent as it leaves the cell, and revealed by said infectious agent. A composition for treating and/or preventing HIV infections, antibodies to a peptide of interest, and a diagnostic method, are also disclosed.07-01-2010

Paul Galea, Greenvale AU

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090276254COLOR FORMULATION SELECTION PROCESS - A computer-implemented method of repairing a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes steps of estimating the cost of performing repairs to a damaged vehicle and determining a refinish paint formulation for refinishing a vehicle by conducting a computer-based search for a refinish paint formulation that best matches the vehicle's original finish prior to performing the repair work on the vehicle, where the repair work comprises performing any body work, mechanical systems work and/or electrical systems work and refinishing the vehicle.11-05-2009
