Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080254063Vaccines and Methods to Treat Canine influenza - The present invention relates to providing new vaccines and treatments for the diseases related to canine influenza virus. It discloses influenza viral antigens, and methods of presenting these antigens to canines, especially dogs. It relates to attenuated and killed vaccines. The present invention relates to experimentally generated canine and equine influenza viruses. invention also includes influenza A, including H3, N8, H3N8, H7N7 and viruses which contain at least one genome segment from an canine or equine influenza virus. The present invention also relates to the use of these viruses in therapeutic compositions to protect canines, dogs in particular, from diseases caused by influenza viruses.10-16-2008

20110120236SAMPLE COLLECTOR AND TEST DEVICE - A sample collector and test device is disclosed. The sample collector and test device may be used together as a diagnostic tool for collecting and assay of analytes contained in a sample. A sample collector is also disclosed which may be used with existing sample containers and or test devices. The sample collector may indicate sample adequacy when a sufficient volume of sample has been collected for assay and may also include a sample retaining feature which retains a portion of expressed sample for confirmatory testing, if desirable. The sample collector may also include a mechanism for expressing sample in a sample collector and/or test device. A test device is also disclosed for retaining and assay of an expressed sample. The disclosed test device may be used with existing sample collectors. In a preferred embodiment, test device is used with a preferred sample collector. Test device may include a locking feature for locking a sample retained on a sample collector or test device may be used to receive expressed sample collected from a syringe or another suitable sample delivery device.05-26-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100206731DEVICES AND METHODS FOR OPTOELECTRONIC MANIPULATION OF SMALL PARTICLES - A method for sorting cells in a biological sample comprising a first type of cells and a second type of cells may comprise introducing the biological sample into a chamber comprising a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is associated with a transparent electrode and the second surface is associated with a photoconductive portion of an electrode. The method may further comprise moving incident light and the photoconductive portion relative to one another so as to illuminate regions of the photoconductive portion and modulate an electric field in the chamber in proximity to the illuminated regions. The method may further comprise separating the first type of cells from the second type of cells in the chamber via dielectrophoretic movement of the first type of cells and the second type of cells caused by the modulated electric field, wherein a dielectrophoretic characteristic of at least one of the first type of cells and the second type of cells has been modified.08-19-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090093910Controllable Caliper - An embodiment of the invention is directed to an electronic caliper which combines positioning and measurement in one unit without the use of hydraulics for subsea use. In certain embodiments, several attachments can be affixed to accommodate a range of measurement tasks. In a preferred embodiment, one jaw is adjustable and the other, or opposing, jaw is fixed, e.g. by bolting it on to a mounting structure. The jaws typically allow for the removal and replacement of other attachments. In another embodiment, the unit communicates to computer software for position control, precise indication and clamping for adjustment. In a preferred embodiment, computer software displays all feedback via laptop computer on surface. The caliper is maneuvered to a position proximate an object and used to measure a predetermined physical characteristic of the object. The measurement can be displayed, e.g. at the surface, using a computer with control software.04-09-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100197255Method and apparatus for dynamic station preset configuration in a radio - A method of operating a radio having a plurality of station preset pushbuttons includes assigning to the preset pushbuttons a first group of radio frequencies associated with a first country. A spectrum of radio frequencies is scanned. A signal quality metric is measured for each of the scanned frequencies. A country of origin is determined for each of the scanned frequencies. A country in which the radio is disposed is ascertained dependent upon the measuring step and the determining step. If the country in which the radio is disposed is different from the first country, then either the preset pushbuttons are automatically re-assigned to a second group of radio frequencies associated with the country in which the radio is disposed, or a user is provided with an option to re-assign the preset pushbuttons to the second group of radio frequencies.08-05-2010
