| 20090109953 | ROBUST TIMING SYNCHRONIZATION FOR MB-OFDM FREQUENCY HOPPING SYSTEMS IN A SOP ENVIRONMENT - System and methodologies for timing synchronization in a wireless communication system are provided herein. The provided systems and methodologies can utilize various timing synchronization algorithms and an associated state machine to reduce the down time of a wireless communication system due to the presence of simultaneously operating piconets (SOP) and/or other factors. Frequency band finger pattern detection techniques are additionally described that can reduce boundary mismatch rates for wireless receivers. In one example, by making use of the fact that time frequency codes (TFCs) possess unique frequency hopping patterns, system down time can be reduced and OFDM boundary matching can be enhanced to allow a receiver to obtain correct timing information even for communication channels having a very low SINR. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20100008925 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT OF ENDOTOXIN-MEDIATED PRO-INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES - Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in systemic circulation triggers deleterious super-inflammatory response, which is key pathogenesis of many disorders like gram-negative sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis. No effective therapeutic interventions are currently available for protection of patients against mortality. Disclosed are methods and therapeutic agents that ablate the biological toxicity of LPS in circulation (Integrin Peptide), and abrogate leukocyte infiltration into lung and liver and suppress adhesion molecule expression (Integrin Peptide and Anti-CD18 βA scFv). These therapeutic agents can be used alone, or in combination for treatment of endotoxin-mediated pro-inflammatory responses, particularly in cases of acute sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20110046747 | ANTIBACTERIAL SURFACE AND METHOD OF FABRICATION - This invention involves a plasma treated and controllable release antimicrobial peptide coated titanium alloy for surgical implantation, where the alloy with antimicrobial properties is fabricated using surface techniques without adversely compromising its biocompatibility and original mechanical properties. The surface techniques form antimicrobial layers on the alloy capable of resisting microbial adhesion and proliferation, while allowing mammalian cell adhesion and proliferation when the alloy is implanted to human body. In one embodiment, PIII&D is applied to incorporate ions, electrons, free radicals, atoms or molecules on a titanium alloy substrate. A pressurized hydrothermal treatment can be carried out to establish reactive functional groups for antimicrobial purpose or for connecting the substrate and external antimicrobial molecules. An outermost layer of the titanium alloy includes antibacterial peptides possessing a controllable release mechanism, and is fabricated alone or in an assembly of the aforementioned basal surface layers. The controllable release mechanism is able to withstand long-term deep tissue infection after surgery, and in an embodiment comprises APTES as a linker molecule. | 02-24-2011 |
