| 20080289737 | AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE TIRE - This invention provides a tire for agricultural vehicles that employs a tread design having a flattened contact surface across the width and a plurality of curved lugs that alternately extend from each sidewall to a location nearly adjacent to the opposing side wall. Each lug curves so that a central section at the center of the tire width is located on the surface ahead on the circumference of adjoining sections of the lug that extend toward each of the opposing sidewalls. In this manner, each lug appears to have a curved “banana” shape that extends across the width of the tire contact surface in a generally axial alignment. The grooves between lugs extend generally axially across the width, as a result. They are narrowed, having a circumferential width that is between approximately 20% and 30% of the average circumferential width of a lug. This geometry places more lug surface in contact with the road for better handling and longer tread life and provides less groove space to retain mud and detritus. This geometry also causes more accumulated mud and detritus to be squeezed from, and ejected out of, the tire prior to the transition onto hard road from soft ground, thereby reducing undesirable tracking on the road surface. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20080262530 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE - A lower esophageal sphincter tightening device for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease which includes an insertion device, an energy source, and an energy transmitting device. The insertion device, by insertion through a body opening, positions the energy transmitting device in the proximity of the lower esophageal sphincter. The energy source generates and transmits energy via the insertion device to the energy transmitting device which directs the transmitted energy onto the lower esophageal sphincter which is comprised largely of collagen. The energy source transmits energy at a level sufficient to cause heating of the sphincter's collagen resulting in a shrinkage of the collagen and a tightening of the sphincter. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20080275445 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT ABLATION FOR TREATMENT OF OBESITY - Devices and methods for ablating tissue in the wall of various organs of the gastrointestinal tract of a patient in order to cure or ameliorate metabolic pathophysiological conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes mellitus are provided. Ablational treatment of target areas may be fractional or partial, rendering a post-treatment portion of target tissue ablated and another portion that is substantially intact. Fractional ablation is achieved by controlling the delivery of ablational energy across the surface area being treated, and controlling the depth of energy penetration into tissue. Surface area control of energy delivery may controlled by the spatial pattern of distributed ablation elements or by the selective activation of a subset of a dense pattern of ablation elements. Embodiments of the device include an ablational electrode array that spans 360 degrees and an array that spans an arc of less than 360 degrees. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090048593 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TREATING ABNORMAL TISSUE IN THE HUMAN ESOPHAGUS - An ablation catheter system and method of use is provided to endoscopically access portions of the human esophagus experiencing undesired growth of columnar epithelium. The ablation catheter system and method includes controlled depth of ablation features and use of either radio frequency spectrum, non-ionizing ultraviolet radiation, warm fluid or microwave radiation, which may also be accompanied by improved sensitizer agents. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20090025123 | Digital Printed Applique Emblem - A process for applying digitally printed applique” indicia which results in decorative and identification elements for decoration and identification when applied to uniforms, fashion, “basic” and performance apparel, swimwear and intimate apparel as well as other textile products, the elements being an alternative to direct embroidery, embroidered emblems, thermo-transfer films, silk screen or sublimated printing. The production process includes the following phases ( | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090286039 | PRINTED APPLIQUE WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL EMBROIDERED APPEARANCE - An appliqué emblem having a three dimensional embroidered appearance for decoration and identification when applied to uniforms, fashion, “basic” and performance apparel, swimwear, and intimate apparel, as well as other textile products. The appliqué emblem being an alternative to direct embroidery, embroidered emblems, thermo-transfer films, silk screen or sublimated printing. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110014837 | METHOD OF PRODUCING TEXTILE EMBLEMS WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE PROPERTIES - A new device, pressure sensitive adhesive system for bonding textiles and a method for producing integrated textile emblems such as patches, emblems, emblems, labels and cut textile parts including wovens, knits and nonwoven structures made of both natural and or synthetic fibers incorporating a pressure sensitive adhesive. The resulting room temperature pressure sensitive-patch eliminates tedious and cost intensive sewing operations (embroidery) and or heat-sealing operations (heat transfers) to other textile products such as apparel and or accessories, headwear, crafts home furnishings and luggage. The room temperature pressure sensitive adhesive-patches comprise at least: 1) a top base layer which can be a knitted, woven or non-woven fabric sheet that is stitched, printed, embossed, etched, engraved, flocked or dyed to form a decorative element, and which may be cut into a desired shape; 2) a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the top base layer that comprises an adhesive having good medium-to-high surface energy properties, is not water soluble and is of adequate thickness to provide a sustainable bond capable of surviving multiple washes to textile-based products such as apparel and or accessories, headwear, crafts home furnishings and luggage. The room temperature pressure sensitive-patches may be transferred by simple pressure, thereby eliminating the burden and expense of thermal or mechanical (stitched) bonding. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20110168319 | PRESSURE SENSITIVE TEXTILE ADHESIVE - A method of wash-durably bonding integrated textile emblems such as patches, emblems, labels and cut textile parts to another textile article by laminating a pressure sensitive acrylic polymer adhesive to the back surface of the textile emblem. The acrylic polymer adhesive has a storage modulus that is greater than a loss modulus throughout a frequency range of from 0.1885 Hz to 628 Hz where bonding and debonding are expected to occur, and is devoid of any cross linking additives or reagents. The integrated textile emblem with laminated pressure sensitive acrylic polymer adhesive has improved adhesion to low-to-high energy surfaces, is not water soluble and is of adequate thickness to provide a wash-durable textile-to-textile bond capable of seaming or permanently attaching items such as textile panels, appliqué bearing text, numbers, logos and other indicia for the apparel, accessory and other industries. | 07-14-2011 |
