Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090105463Compositions of and Methods of Using Oversulfated Glycosaminoglycans - The invention relates, in part, to compositions comprising glycosaminoglycans, fragments of glycosaminoglycans or glycosaminoglycan fractions. The compositions provided can be used in various methods of modulating FGF and/or VEGF activity. The method can be in vitro or in vivo methods. Therefore, the invention also relates, in part, to methods of treating a subject with the compositions provided.04-23-2009
20090156477Compositions and Methods for Regulating Inflammatory Responses - This invention relates, in part, to compositions and methods for the regulation of inflammatory responses. Specifically, the invention relates, in part, to compositions of and methods for using fibroblast growth factor (FGF) proteins, proteoglycans (e.g., syndecans), agents that modulate proteoglycans and agents that affect Wnt signaling. The invention also provides compositions and methods for treating subjects with undesired inflammatory activity and/or diseases associated therewith. The invention further provides, in part, compositions and methods for disrupting intercellular junctions with FGFs, such as for the enhanced delivery of therapeutic agents.06-18-2009

20100169150METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSIGNING STAFF AS A SERVICE IN A SERVICE NETWORK WITHIN A COMPONENT BUSINESS MODEL ARCHITECTURE - A method and system are provided for using a component business model (CBM) architecture to provide a staff assignment service to an enterprise. A staff assignment scenario is described in terms of process steps, and staffing resources and respective commercialization mechanisms required to implement the staff assignment scenario are described in terms of business components in a CBM architecture of the enterprise, the applicable business components forming a staffing service network. For each business component in the staffing service network, functionalities supporting the scenario are identified, and collaborative links among the business components are established, sufficient to enable the service functionalities within the staffing service network to operate so as to assign staff to a project of the enterprise. The staff assignment service is adapted dynamically by repetition of this technique as new scenarios are developed.07-01-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120004505DEVICES AND METHODS FOR TISSUE INVAGINATION - Surgical devices and methods used for invaginating tissue during, for example, an endoscopic fundoplication procedure, are disclosed. The device includes an elongated tube having a proximal end configured to extend outside of the body and a distal end configured to extend proximate the tissue to be invaginated, and a distal member coupled to the distal end of the tube. The distal member is configured to hold or grasp the tissue to be invaginated. The devices may include a protective distal sleeve.01-05-2012

20080317010SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SIGNALING OPTIMIZATION IN IMS SERVICES BY USING A SERVICE DELIVERY PLATFORM - Systems and methods for reducing signaling traffic in the provision of data services to a plurality of user endpoints (UEs). The UEs are in communication with a radio access network, which is the in communication with an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) core for providing data service to the UEs, the data service including a videoshare service. The systems and methods involve providing an application server (AS) that during operation communicates with the IMS core and serves as a data service registrar for the UEs, and providing logic in the AS configured to receive from a first UE of the plurality of UEs videoshare capabilities information of the first UE, cache the first UE videoshare capabilities information and send to a second UE of the plurality of UEs the cached first UE videoshare capabilities information.12-25-2008

20100082754SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING INSTANT MESSAGES - Various aspects relate to using structured messages within one or more systems that implement instant messaging function in a distributed computing environment. In particular, structured information may be encoded and embedded in unstructured instant messages and communicated among one or more computer systems, networks, applications or other entities. In one aspect, instant messaging may be leveraged as middleware for application integration. Other aspects relate to using structured message information to perform functions in a distributed instant messaging system. For example, structured message information may be used to control the display of instant message information to a user, or may be used to control how the instant message information is distributed, processed, or otherwise handled by a receiving system, application or process. Other aspects relate to an interface for displaying information relating to a number of instant messaging conversations to a user. Further, aspects relate to using instant messaging in a trading environment.04-01-2010
