| 20110152207 | USE OF VITAMIN D GLYCOSIDES AND SULFATES FOR TREATMENT OF DISEASE - Disclosed are methods of treating vitamin D-sensitive diseases without inducing severe forms of hypercalcemia. The methods comprise administering biologically inert vitamin D prodrugs. The vitamin D prodrugs have a vitamin D-drug moiety and a pro moiety, wherein the pro moiety is selected from the group consisting of a glycone moiety and a sulfate moiety. The vitamin D prodrugs are activated by enzymes at target tissues or cells that cleave the pro moiety from the vitamin D-drug moiety, freeing the vitamin D-moiety from the pro moiety in the vicinity of the target tissues or cells. In some versions, the vitamin D-drug moiety is an active vitamin D drug that has direct therapeutic effects at target sites. In other versions, the vitamin D-drug moiety is an inactive vitamin D drug that regulates the production and/or turnover of an active vitamin D drug and, therefore, abundance of the active vitamin D drug at the target site. The methods of the invention prevent large, acute, systemic increases in the free form of the vitamin D-drug moiety that would otherwise lead to hypercalcemia. The methods can be used to treat hyperproliferative, autoimmune, or infectious diseases throughout the body, including the intestine. Compositions of the vitamin D prodrugs useful in the described methods are also disclosed. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20110117505 | TERTIARY AIR ADDITION TO SOLID WASTE-FIRED FURNACES FOR NOX CONTROL - Through the addition of tertiary air and a reduction of secondary air, NOx emissions from a waste-to-energy (WTE) boiler may be reduced. The tertiary air is added to the WTE at a distance from the secondary air, in a boiler region of relatively lower temperatures. A secondary NOx reduction system, such as a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) system using ammonia or urea, may also be added to the boiler with tertiary air to achieve desirable high levels of NOx reductions. The SNCR additives are introduced to the WTE boiler proximate to the tertiary air. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20080271116 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENROLLING IN A BIOMETRIC SYSTEM - The present invention is a system and method of enrolling potential system users for a biometric system for identity verification. Potential system user information is entered into the system, either by the user or a system operator, and is stored as a partially-enabled user record. The user of a partially-enabled user record fully enables the record by presenting information previously stored in the user record and presenting the remainder of user information necessary to complete record activation. Enrollment data is used to authenticate the system user's identity and authorize related transaction accesses in a biometric system for identity verification. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090006239 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CATEGORIZING TRANSACTIONS - A system and method of allowing individuals to categorize transaction information. A user of the system may establish transaction identifiers that may be employed during or subsequent to a transaction in order to categorize transaction information. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090070270 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PURCHASE BENEFITS AT A POINT OF SALE - A system and method of providing users with an accessible system and convenient method for conducting purchase benefit transactions. When enrolling in a biometric authorization system, a user may authorize the system to apply for purchase benefits on the user's behalf at subsequent transactions. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090099944 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPAID BIOMETRIC REDEMPTION ACCOUNTS - A system and method of offering a redemption account that allows users to purchase in advance and subsequently redeem products and services from one or more vendors that are affiliated with the system. The present invention imparts a process by which users enrolled in a biometric authorization system can access a redemption account for advance purchased products and services by submitting their biometric data. Information stored in the user record can then be utilized to enable the fulfillment of the advance purchase. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20100170513 | Self-contained, intermittent positive airway pressure systems and methods for treating sleep apnea, snoring, and other respiratory disorders - Systems and methods provide a self-contained, intermittent positive airway pressure system for treating sleep apnea, snoring, and other respiratory disorders. The systems and methods provide an air flow director that can be worn in or over the nose of the individual in communication with an upper airway. The systems and methods provide an airflow regulation assembly that can also be worn in its entirety by the individual in communication with the air flow director. The airflow regulation assembly includes a source of positive pressure. The airflow regulation assembly intermittently operates the source of positive pressure to increase positive air pressure in the air flow director sufficient to resist tissue collapse in the upper airway during only a portion of the respiratory cycle less than the entire respiratory cycle. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110009818 | DEVICE AND METHODS FOR DELIVERY AND TRANSFER OF TEMPORARY RADIOPAQUE ELEMENT - A device for the transfer of radiopaque material within the body comprises a valvuloplasty or other balloon coated with the radiopaque material.
