| 20080230192 | TELEVISION COVERED BY A TAPESTRY - An apparatus for covering a flat screen television mounted on a wall includes brackets configured to mount to the wall laterally of the television. A reel extends from one side of the television to the other side in front of the television and engages and is supported by the brackets. A tapestry suspends from the reel, and a motor rotates the reel with respect to the brackets. Rotation of the reel in one direction winds the tapestry on the reel to uncover the television, and rotation in the reverse direction unwinds the tapestry to cover the television with the tapestry. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20110027884 | COMBINATION OF INSULIN AND ASCORBATE TO ENHANCE WOUND HEALING - Provided is a method of stimulating collagen synthesis and proteoglycan (lumican and keratocan) accumulation. Collagenase isolated keratocytes were cultured with or without insulin with or without ascorbate. Insulin stimulates the synthesis of collagen but does not affect the accumulation of lumican and keratocan. Insulin plus ascorbate, however, stimulates the synthesis of collagen and increased the accumulation of these proteoglycans. The accumulation of PGDS, a KSPG that does not interact with collagen, is not affected by ascorbate. Only the collagen made in the presence of ascorbate was pepsin resistant. EDB overrode the effects of ascorbate on pepsin resistance and proteoglycan accumulation. | 02-03-2011 |

| 20110244570 | VOLUME EXCLUSION AGENT TO ENHANCE FORMATION OF EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX - A method of enhancing the formation of extracellular matrix in culture. Cells in culture secrete most of the collagen into the media as unprocessed procollagen, i.e., the cells do not convert procollagen to collagen. In contrast, normal extracellular matrix deposition involves procollagen processing to collagen, fibril assembly and deposition into the cell layer to form a collagenous extracellular matrix. The addition of certain growth factors and the addition of a thin layer of a certain volume exclusion agent on top of the cells dramatically enhances the conversion of procollagen to collagen and will increase the amount of collagen and extracellular matrix associated with the cells. This invention advances bioengineering of connective tissues for medical applications that require an extensive and functional extracellular matrix with high tensile strength such as those in the cornea stroma, skin, tendons, ligaments, articular cartilage and the intervertebral disks. | 10-06-2011 |
