20080288057Bioactive Stents For Type II Diabetics and Methods for Use Thereof - The present invention is based on the discovery that a vascular stent or other implantable medical device can be coated with a biodegradable biocompatible polymer to which is attached a bioligand that specifically captures progenitors of endothelial cells (PECs) from the circulating blood to promote endogenous formation of healthy endothelium in Type II diabetics. In one embodiment, the bioligand is a peptide that specifically binds to an integrin receptor on PECs. The invention also provides methods for using such vascular stents and other implantable devices to promote vascular healing in Type II diabetics, for example following mechanical intervention.11-20-2008
20090068743CATIONIC ALPHA-AMINO ACID-CONTAINING BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER GENE TRANSFER COMPOSITIONS - The invention provides gene transfer compositions using as the gene carrier a biodegradable polymer that contains one or more cationic alpha amino acids, such as arginine or agmatine. The compositions form a tight soluble complex with a poly nucleic acid suitable for transfecting target cells to effect translation of the cargo poly nucleic acid by the target cell. Thus, such compounds are useful both in vitro and in vivo.03-12-2009

20090059730WATCH DEVICE HAVING TOUCH-BEZEL USER INTERFACE - A watch device includes a touch-sensitive user interface employing a sensor positioned within the bezel of the display for detecting when the bezel is touched by a user of the watch device. The sensor may be capable of detecting single presses, multiple simultaneous presses, and scrolling motion presses about the bezel.03-05-2009
20090295596SWIM WATCH - A watch device for use by a swimmer while swimming in a body of water. The watch device may generally comprise a housing, a location determining component disposed within the housing and operable to receive one or more satellite signals to determine a current geographic location of the housing, and a processing system. The processing system may synchronize the location determining component with the swimmer's arm movement so that the location determining component can determine the current geographic location of the housing.12-03-2009
