Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100059310System and method for suppressing noise generated from a computer casing - An enclosure containing and operating electronic equipment is envisioned. The enclosure alleviates sound energy emanating from the enclosure. The enclosure is made from a plurality of exterior walls. An aperture is disposed in one of the exterior walls, where the aperture is operable to draw an airflow into the enclosure. A structure is disposed adjacent to the aperture interior to the enclosure. The interior structure is made of a first wall disposed in the enclosure to block the aperture from a line of sight to a noise source emanating from within the enclosure. The interior structure also has a lower wall, an upper wall, and a side wall all connected to the first wall. The interior structure forms an open-ended cage about the aperture.03-11-2010

20110088118METHODS OF QUANTIFYING TARGET ORGANISMS AND CREATING RENIFORM RESISTANT COTTON PLANTS - The present invention is in the field of plant breeding and disease resistance. More specifically, the invention includes methods for assaying a location to determine the amount of pest infestation, or assaying a plant for its ability to resist infection, and using this information to make agronomic treatment and/or breeding decisions. The invention also provides methods for breeding cotton plants containing one or more quantitative trait loci that are associated with resistance to reniform nematode infection. The invention further includes germplasm and the use of germplasm containing quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring reniform resistance as a source of reniform resistant alleles for introgression into elite germplasm in a breeding program, thus producing novel elite germplasm comprising one or more reniform resistance loci.04-14-2011

20080214492Folate based composition for treatment of the cardiovascular system - New formulations for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases arthrosclerosis and risk factors thereof including elevated cholesterol and blood pressure levels comprise phytosterols, flavones and folate, alone or in combination, along with additional compounds chosen to address some or all of the pathways which can result in cardiovascular diseases, namely inflammation, oxidative stress, glycation/dysinsulinemia, platelet function, and homocysteine levels that are important contributors to the development or progression of CVD.09-04-2008
20090143433COCKTAIL FOR MODULATION OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE - Formulations for the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases and cognitive deficiencies, i.e., Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, mild cognitive impairment and other types of dementia, comprise therapeutically effective amounts of curcumin, piperine, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and n-acetylcysteine. The combination addresses some or all of the pathways which can result in neurological deficiencies, degeneration and diseases.06-04-2009
20090326013ISOMERS OF INOSITOL NIACINATE AND USES THEREOF - An ester formed from an inositol or an inositol derivative and niacin, wherein the inositol or the inositol derivatives comprises a stereoisomer selected from allo-inositol, cis-inositol, epi-inositol, muco-inositol, neo-inositol, scyllo-inositol, D-chiro-inositol and L-chiro-inositol, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Examples of esters include inositol hexaniacinates such as allo-inositol hexaniacinate and cis-inositol hexaniacinate. The esters can be used to treat any disorder that is treatable with niacin therapy such as dyslipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia or cardiovascular disease. The esters can be administered with other agents such as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, statins, fibrates, activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors poli-cosanol, phytosterols, tocotrienols, calcium, bile acid sequestrants, guar gum and free niacin. The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds.12-31-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080206360Folate based migraine treatment - Formulations for the prevention and treatment of headaches, particularly migraine headaches, comprise folate in combination with one or more of riboflavin, feverfew, or an extract of feverfew, magnesium in the form of acid salts, magnesium oxide, complexes or chelates and/or other nutritional supplements such as vitamin B6, B12, betaine, and plant derived phytochemicals or synthesized versions thereof.08-28-2008
20080260868Folate based composition for neurological and cognitive applications - New formulations for the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases and cognitive deficiencies, particularly Alzheimer's Disease comprise folate in combination with compounds chosen to address some or all of the pathways which can result in neurological deficiencies and diseases, namely inflammation, oxidative stress, glycation/dysinsulinemia, platelet function, homocysteine levels and acetylcholinesterase inhibition, that are important contributors to the development or progression of AD.10-23-2008

20080252800Twisted Nematic xLCD Contrast Compensation With Tilted-Plate Retarders - Contrast compensation for a liquid crystal display projection system including a light source, a first polarizer, a liquid crystal display panel, and a second polarizer is provided using a tilted compensating plate. The compensating plate includes a first birefringent element having an optic axis oriented at a first angle to the plate normal, where the first angle is greater than zero degrees (e.g., an A-plate or O-plate), and a second birefringent element having an optic axis oriented at a second angle to the plate normal, where the second angle is substantially equal to zero degrees (e.g., a C-plate). The compensating plate is tilted relative to a plane of the liquid crystal display panel. The tilted compensating plate has been shown to provide improved contrast compensation for twisted nematic liquid crystal displays.10-16-2008
20090190463OPTICAL PICK-UP UNIT WITH TWO-MIRROR PHASE SHIFTER - Optical pick-up units (OPU), which require several light sources for reading newer formats, such as Blu-Ray, and legacy formats, such as DVD and CD, require a series of beam splitters/combiners for directing the various source light beams from the light sources along a common path. A two-mirror reflector sub-unit, in which at least one mirror includes a thin film dielectric retarder element, is used to redirect the beams traveling along the common path onto the disc-media, while imposing a 90° retardation onto the polarized light incidence, whereby light returning from the disc-media undergoes a 90° orientation change in the state of polarization from one linear polarization to the other orthogonal linear polarization.07-30-2009

20110011384LAUNCHING DEVICE AND METHOD - A launching device is described that includes a launcher and an optional snowball forming device. The launching device accepts objects, such as snowballs, and propels them through a generally cylindrical housing energy stored in elastic bands. One embodiment is an automatic launcher that includes an integrated snowball forming device. Uncompacted snow is provided to a hopper. The backwards motion of a handle compacts the snow into a ball and stores energy for launching, and the release of the handle propels the snowball.01-20-2011
