Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110064205EMERGENCY TEXT COMMUNICATIONS - A system includes one or more devices connected to or within one of a group of emergency services networks. The one or more devices may generate a text message that includes information identifying a user device, information identifying a geographic location of the user device, and information identifying a particular emergency services network of the group of emergency services networks; establish, based on the text message, a text-based communication session between the user device and a call taker device within the particular emergency services network; store session information regarding the text-based communication session; receive a subsequent text message; and transmit the subsequent text message to the call taker device based on the session information.03-17-2011

20100112606MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS OF LEUKOTRIENES - The present invention provides a new analytical method for measuring leukotrienes in a clinical sample using liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LCMSMS). The method provides a simple, rapid and low-cost assay for the measurement of leukotriene levels in a clinical sample with high accuracy and precision over the physiological range. The present invention further provides a method to determine the susceptibility of a subject to treatment with a leukotriene modifier, as wells as methods for diagnosis of a chronic obstructive disease of the airways and for predicting the risk of exacerbation of the same.05-06-2010

20100073676MICROSTRUCTURING OPTICAL WAVE GUIDE DEVICES WITH FEMTOSECOND OPTICAL PULSES - The present invention is directed to the creation of optical waveguiding devices from standard optical fibers by the creation of zones of permanently altered refractive index characteristics therein. A high intensity femtosecond laser beam is focused at a predetermined target region in the fiber so as to soften the glass material at the target region. After aligning the focal region with the target region in the fiber there will be relative movement between the focal region and the fiber, which has the effect of sweeping the focal region across the fiber in a predetermined path, so as to create a secondary waveguide path. A portion of the light traveling along the core is removed from the core along the secondary waveguide path such that the device can be utilized as an attenuator, an optical tap, or a polarimeter.03-25-2010

20080241482RHODIUM ELECTROPLATED STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - A halide based stress reducing agent is added to the bath of a rhodium plating solution. The stress reducing agent reduces stress in the plated rhodium, increasing the thickness of the rhodium that can be plated without cracking. In addition, the stress reducing agent does not appreciably decrease the wear resistance or hardness of the plated rhodium.10-02-2008

20120042920COLLAPSIBLE SHADE DEVICE - A shade device for protecting a user from harmful sunrays is provided. The shade device may be held in the erected position with nubs such that to erect the shade device, frame support members are pushed to the erected position. To collapse the shade device, the frame support members are pushed past nubs. Accordingly, the shade device incorporates a simple push release mechanism to erect and collapse the shade device such that no assembly or disassembly of the shade device is required for tear down or set up.02-23-2012
