20130005786 | THERAPEUTIC INVENTION - The invention provides a method of treating acute demyelinating optic neuritis in a patient suffering therefrom, which method comprises administering a compound to the patient, wherein the compound is phenytoin or an analog or prodrug thereof. The compound acts as a neuroprotectant by partial blocking of voltage-gated sodium channels in axonal other cell membranes thereby reducing the entry of sodium into the respective cell in vivo. The treatment is particularly concerned with preserving vision after onset of the acute demyelinating optic neuritis. | 01-03-2013 |

20130036515 | Banana MADS-Box Genes for Banana Ripening Control - The ripening of banana fruit may be delayed or suppressed by use of a DNA construct comprising a silencing nucleic acid sequence which is effective for significantly reducing or eliminating the expression of MaMADS1 or MaMADS2 or both in the fruit. The silencing nucleic acid sequence in this construct is operatively linked to a promoter effective for expression in the fruit. The fruit of plants transformed with this construct exhibit significantly delayed ripening in comparison to fruit from non-transformed plants. | 02-07-2013 |

20090111286 | Wristbands incorporating electronic storage media programmed to store personal medical and identification information and methods for using same - A wristband incorporating electronic storage media programmed with accessible and downloadable personal medical and identification information. The wristband has first and second ends which are detachably coupled. An electrical connector, electrically interconnected to the storage media, extends from the first end of the wristband. Prior to use, the wristband ends are decoupled, and the electrical connector is interconnected to an external device connection port of a computer. The user responds to pre-programmed queries, to store personal information and images in the storage media. The wristband is then installed on the wrist of the user, by coupling the first and second ends. When the personal information and images must be accessed, either for use or modification, the wristband is removed and the electrical connector is interconnected to the external device connection port of any computer. The personal information and images may then be reviewed, downloaded, or modified. | 04-30-2009 |

20100156913 | Multi-display handheld device and supporting system - Current approaches to paperless books use single screen laptop computers or electronic paper display (EPD)-based book readers. Laptop computers consume too much power and cannot be used for extended periods of time, such as an entire school day, without recharging its battery. EPD devices are limited in functionality due to their slow refresh rate and grey-scale only images. An embodiment of the present invention integrates bi-stable display technology and refresh display technology into a single device and manages the use of these technologies to achieve power savings while providing a rich set of display functionalities to support user interaction with content in a synergistic manner. The power savings functionality enables the device to have a battery operating life between charges of many hours of operation, such as eight hours or more, while the display functionality enables users to access, display, and interact with content in ways users have become accustomed and in ways not before possible. | 06-24-2010 |
