| 20110227392 | Child safety seat magnetic web attachment - The present invention provides a child safety seat installed within a motor vehicle, including both upper portions of a harness web threaded through a pair of sleeves surrounding that portion of the web proximate a child's chest area. It is an object of this invention to eliminate the disadvantages of the harness webs, tangs and buckle, falling into the depression or concavity formed by the contours of the seat, interfering with placing a child within the seat. The upper portions of both webs are required to be connected laterally to offer protection against separation in the event of a sudden deceleration. The sleeves therefore include a latchable connector to selectively couple or uncouple one sleeve to another. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20080260858 | Universal Procoagulant - A thromboplastin reagent comprises: (i) activated sTF, (ii) a metal-chelating lipid, (iii) a metal ion, and (iv) a phospholipid. Activated sTF preferably includes the extracellular domain of TF and an oligohistidine moiety having at least 2 histidine residues, more preferably 2-10 histidine residues. Preferably, the histidine residues are consecutive. Attaching a metal binding domain, such as an oligohistidine tag, to the C-terminus of sTF allows the protein to bind to phospholipid vesicles that contain metal-chelating lipid. Metal complexes of this activated sTF and metal-chelating lipids have all of the desirable expression, handling, and solubility characteristics of sTF, and exhibit procoagulant activities in plasma clotting tests that are comparable to relipidated rTF. In addition, it was discovered that, under some circumstances, Ni-lipids are themselves procoagulant, even in the absence of activated sTF. Further studies indicated that Ni-lipids are potent activators of the contact pathway of blood clotting. | 10-23-2008 |
