Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090203770COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING APOPTOSIS IN CELLS OVER-EXPRESSING Bcl-2 FAMILY MEMBER PROTEINS - The present invention provides agents and compositions for modulating the apoptotic state of a cell. The agents comprise derivatives of antimycins which bind to an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member protein. Further, the agents preferentially induce apoptosis in cells that over-express anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member proteins and typically exhibit reduced binding affinity for cytochrome B. Pharmaceutical uses of the agents and compositions include treating apoptosis-associated disease, such as neoplasia and drug resistance, are also disclosed.08-13-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110144801Vending Machine - In an exemplary embodiment of this invention, a vending machine may include sensors for capturing audio and visual data. A processing unit in the vending machine may analyze this data to calculate an attention score that is indicative of whether attention is being paid to the vending machine. Alternatively, or in addition, the processing unit may analyze this data to calculate the gender or emotional state of a person. Based on these calculations, a vending machine may alter its behavior, such as by changing its audiovisual output.06-16-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090158868Crank-Type Linear Actuator - A crank-type linear actuator may be used to provide linear actuation, for example, in a vehicle system. In general, the actuator may use a crank assembly to convert a unidirectional rotary drive motion into a reciprocating linear actuation motion. The actuator may also use magnetic elements and magnetic sensors for non-contact position control of the actuator.06-25-2009
