| 20120007516 | LED TASK LIGHTING SYSTEM - The disclosure provides an LED light system that is easy to install and customizable by the user. The LED lighting system may be plugged directly into an existing power source. In one configuration, the system includes a power supply that accepts standard power inputs. A low voltage low voltage bus line extends from the power supply. The user may connect LED light modules at essentially any location along a low voltage bus line of the system so that the light modules are located exactly where the user desires light. Uneven spacing is possible. Different size lights, different lumen powers, and different-colored light modules may be disposed along the low voltage bus line. Security features may be used to reduce the value of the system components to a thief. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20080317739 | Method for Treating Skeletal Disorders Resulting from Fgfr Malfunction - The invention provides materials, reagents, systems, and methods for identifying agents useful for treating diseases resulting from abnormal (e.g., excessive) FGF receptor signaling. The invention also provides (therapeutic) agents thus identified, and methods of using such agents in treating such diseases. In certain embodiments, the invention relates to the treatment of various craniofacial disorders, or Craniosynostosis, that result from FGFR (e.g. FGFR2) malfunction, such as Crouzon, Apert, Jackson-Weiss, Pfeiffer Syndromes, Crouzon+acanthosis nigricans, Beare-Stevenson cutis gyrata, and non-syndromic craniosynostosis (NS). The methods comprise administering to the individuals a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of the FGFR2c-FRS2 signaling. The inhibitor inhibits signaling by antagonizing FGFR2c-FRS2 interaction, inhibiting the expression and/or subcellular localization of wild-type or mutant FGFR2c and/or FRS2, inhibiting the kinase activity of FGFR2c (e.g. for autophosphorylation and/or phosphorylation of FRS2), and/or inhibiting downstream signaling of FRS2 (such as Sos-Ras-MAPK, Shp2, and/or Gab 1-PI3K pathways). | 12-25-2008 |

The utility lumen is positioned within the elongated body so positioning the elongated body within the tissue site allows a catheter delivered through the utility lumen to enter the vessel. The elongated body also includes a closure lumen having an entrance port. A closure composition can be delivered through the entrance port into the closure lumen. The closure lumen also includes an exit port adjacent the distal end of the elongated body. The closure composition delivered into the closure lumen can be delivered through the exit port to the tissue site adjacent the puncture. | 09-15-2011 |

| 20090076438 | Method for treating a sphincter - A method for treating a sphincter provides a polymer material having a liquid state. The method also provides a catheter having a distal end, a tissue piercing device carried by the distal end, and an energy delivery device coupled to the tissue piercing device. The tissue piercing device has a lumen. The method introduces the catheter into an esophagus and pierces an exterior sphincter tissue surface within with the tissue piercing device. The method advances the tissue piercing device into an interior sphincter tissue site and conveys the polymer material while in a liquid state through the lumen into the interior sphincter tissue site. The method delivers energy to the tissue piercing device to transform the polymer material into a less liquid state within the interior sphincter tissue site, to thereby remodel the sphincter. | 03-19-2009 |

| 20110203112 | SAFETY RAZOR - The travel shaver kit includes a handle having a proximal end and a distal end. A blade housing is pivotably attached to the distal end of the handle. The blade housing is able to be pivotably positionable either in a first position wherein the handle and blade housing are aligned, or in a second position wherein the handle and blade housing are perpendicular. A ceramic blade has a base disposed within the blade housing. The ceramic blade extends outwardly from the blade housing to expose a cutting edge suitable for shaving. The blade housing extends through at least a portion of the base to non-removably lock the ceramic blade therein, whereby twisting or bending the blade housing, without breaking it, results in destruction of the cutting edge. The ceramic blade may include an aperture where the blade housing extends through the blade aperture to non-removably lock the ceramic blade therein. | 08-25-2011 |
