Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120132055TREMOLO DEVICE - A tremolo assembly for a stringed instrument, having a base plate detachably mounted to the stringed instrument. A string block is operatively attached to the base plate for movement about an axis, and secures strings of the instrument. A biasing mechanism attaches between the string block and the base plate for biasing the string block about the axis. A tremolo bar moveably attaches to the string block for movement of the tremolo assembly between a neutral position and a tremolo effect position.05-31-2012

20120077758INFERTILITY ASSOCIATED DEFB-126 DELETION POLYMORPHISM - The present application provides diagnostic methods for determining the fertility status of a male individual by evaluating his DEFB-126 phenotypic and genotypic status. The present invention relates to a dinucleotide deletion polymorphism in the protein coding sequence of a DEFB-126 nucleic acid. The amino acid sequence of this variant has a significantly altered the carboxyl terminal, carbohydrate-containing domain of DEFB-126 in comparison to a wild-type DEFB-126 polypeptide. This variant results in aberrant protein function and structure, leading to reduced sperm function and fertility. The present invention provides methods for analyzing the genotype of individuals with respect to the gene encoding DEFB-126 in order to determine whether that individual has reduced fertility. Such determination will provide an individual knowledge of whether their genotype is associated with a risk of reduced fertility and to allow that individual to receive appropriate fertility treatment options. The present invention further provides kits that are useful for diagnosing increased risk or probability of infertility based on the presence or absence of the DEFB-126 deletion polymorphism. The application also provides therapeutic methods and compositions for restoring sperm functionality (e.g., to effect conception) in sperm from an individual who expresses insufficient levels of DEFB-126.03-29-2012

20110130457Wax-Based Emulsion for the Treatment of Dry Eye Conditions - Disclosed herein is a wax-based emulsion for the treatment of dry eye conditions by reducing the evaporation rate of saline and increasing the viscosity of the tear film. The composition of the present invention comprises an emulsion of wax dispersed in saline. One embodiment of the wax-based emulsion of the present invention comprises a wax in an amount ranging from about 0.001% to about 80% by weight and the remainder saline. In another embodiment, the wax-based emulsion further comprises a hydrocarbon in an amount ranging from about 0.01% to about 80% by weight. In still another embodiment, the wax-based emulsion of the present invention further comprises a cholesterol ester ranging in an amount from about 0.01% to about 80% by weight. In an alternative embodiment, the wax-based emulsion of the present invention further comprises an opthalmic drug in an amount ranging from about 0.01% to about 80% by weight. In yet another embodiment, the wax based emulsion comprises a wax in an amount ranging from about 40% to about 60% by weight, a cholesterol ester in an amount ranging from about 10% to about 20% by weight and the remainder saline. The wax based emulsion may further comprise a hydrocarbon in an amount of up to about 20% by weight. In yet another embodiment, the emulsion further comprises an amount ranging between about 1% to about 20% by weight of standard opthalmic drugs such as antibiotics for delivery to the eye. In some embodiments, the wax of the emulsion is a synthetic wax.06-02-2011

20100276859Head window fixture and method - The present invention provides a fixture and method for mounting a head window to a frame for use in a submarine periscope system. The fixture supports the head window during the potting of the head window to the frame. A spring-loaded clamping plate is mountable to a baseplate for relative movement therebetween. The clamping assembly has an oval recessed portion. A plurality of spaced apart feet are formed within the oval. The feet support and are bonded to the head window. Shim stock are placed between the feet to define a critical gap.11-04-2010

20100058584SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LAMINATED CIRCUIT BOARDS - The present invention relates to a pin-less registration and inductive heating system involving the use of a pre-alignment station for imaging an initial position of a laminate element, an imaging and computer operation control system for determining a required correction factor between an alignment of the laminate element at the pre-alignment station and a preferred stack orientation for the laminate element, and an alignment and transfer system for securely gripping, transferring, and repositioning a laminate element from a top position to the preferred stack orientation employing a preferred four-axis orientation.03-11-2010
20100212945BOND HEAD ASSEMBLY AND SYSTEM - An inductive thermal bonding system includes at least one inductive bonding or heating member containing a magnetic E-shaped inductive core and a coil bounding a central member of the E-shaped inductive core. A rigid cover plate allows high and predictable temperature rate-of-change during use and reduced thermal cycling time without risk of detriment. Adaptive solid copper pads on multiplayer bonding regions minimize bonding errors and improve reliability. A cooling system is provided for adaptively cooling both the bond head and the bonded stack. Single and paired inductive heating members may be employed, and may also be alternatively controlled and positioned to aid generation of multiplayer bonding subassemblies distant from an edge of a multiplayer sheet construct.08-26-2010

20100109868Notifying A User Of An Available Media Object - Among other features, notification is presented on a mobile device to a user to advise the user of the availability of a media object that (a) has been received from a server and stored on the mobile device without the user having been aware of the receipt or storage, or (b) has newly become available for streaming from the server to the mobile device.05-06-2010
20110312379SYNCHRONIZING DIGITAL CONTENT - Among other things, at a local device connected to a network, updating, of a mobile device that is nearby the local device, from one state to another state, is assisted. The states of the mobile device are associated with digital content. The updating is based on information at a server that is accessible through the network from the local device. The updating is assisted without requiring execution on the local device of code that is persistent on the local device.12-22-2011
20110314126Delivering Files to a Mobile Device - Among other things, in controlling a download of one or more files from a server to a mobile device, account is taken of at least two of: an urgency of the file, the existence of a user-indicated preference about the download, a power status of the mobile device, and a network connectivity status of the mobile device.12-22-2011
