| 20100319226 | Tethered Airborne Advertising system - A tethered airborne advertising system comprises a lifting element and a separate display structure. The lifting element includes, for example, one or more kites or lighter-than-air balloons. The display structure is lifted primarily by the lifting element, exhibits one or more advertising images and may have one or more attention-getting devices affixed to it. In certain embodiments, operation of these advertising images and attention-getting devices can be controlled remotely by way of a signal transmitter and signal receiver. Particular embodiments place the advertising images onto the display structure by way of a ground-based or onboard projector subsystem. The mounted attention-getting devises may include those capable of generating smoke, sound, music, dynamic images, or releasing environmentally friendly confetti or advertising fliers. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20110212889 | USE OF LEPTIN FOR THE TREATMENT OF FATTY LIVER DISEASES AND CONDITIONS - The invention generally relates to the use of leptin in the treatment of a leptin-responsive disease or condition in a non-lipodystrophic subject. More particularly, the invention is directed to the use of leptin in the treatment of a fatty liver disease in a non-lipodystrophic subject with a relative leptin deficiency. The invention includes methods for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a non-lipodystrophic subject. The invention includes the treatment of conditions ranging from ectopic lipid accumulation (steatosis) to cirrhosis. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110306540 | Use of Leptin for Treating Human Lipoatrophy and Method of Determining Predisposition to Said Treatment - Leptin, leptin analogs, and leptin derivatives are used to treat patients with lipoatrophy. Leptin is effective against conditions of lipoatrophy for both genetic and acquired forms of the disease. A therapeutically effective amount of leptin can be administered in a variety of ways, including subcutaneously and using gene therapy methods. Methods of the present invention contemplate administration of leptin, leptin analogs, and leptin derivatives to patients having a leptin level of approximately 4 ng/ml or less before treatment. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20080275443 | ATRIAL ABLATION CATHETER ADAPTED FOR TREATMENT OF SEPTAL WALL ARRHYTHMOGENIC FOCI AND METHOD OF USE - An atrial ablation catheter with an electrode array particularly adapted to locate and ablate foci of arrhythmia which are required for sustained atrial fibrillation is provided. The array is easily deployed and retracted from the catheter, and presents a proximally oriented electrode array that can be pulled against the septal wall of the left atrium to engage the septal wall. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20080281312 | Ablation Therapy System and Method for Treating Continuous Atrial Fibrillation - An ablation therapy system and systematic method is provided for treating continuous atrial fibrillation. The therapy system includes a Multi-Channel RF Ablation Generator, an ECG interface, an assembly of at least three ablation catheters, and an ECG interface operably coupling and interfacing the catheters to both an ECG unit and the RF Ablation Generator. The systematic method includes transseptally accessing the Left Atrium (LA) through the septum of the patient's heart, and performing an endocardial pulmonary vein ablation procedure on the pulmonary vein ostial tissue surrounding one or more pulmonary veins in a manner treating aberrant conductive pathways therethrough. After performing the pulmonary vein ablation, the method further includes performing an endocardial atrial septum ablation procedure on the septal tissue in a manner treating aberrant conductive pathways therethrough. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20090149848 | RF Energy Delivery System and Method - Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for the ablation of tissue. A steerable ablation catheter can include one or more ablation elements at its distal end and one or more ablation elements fixedly attached to its shaft. The distal end of the ablation catheter can be deflected to assume a number of different deflection geometries in at least one direction along the shaft. One feature of the ablation catheter is that its shaft can comprise materials of differing durometers or stiffnesses attached together at a joint. Methods associated with use of the ablation catheter are also covered. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20110028788 | Non-Contact Infrared Fiber-Optic Device for Monitoring Esophageal Temperature to Prevent Thermal Injury During Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation or Cryoablation - An infrared fiber-optic device is able to monitor esophageal temperature during an ablation/cryoablation procedure over a volume of interest to sense whether the temperature is too high or too low. The device may include a plurality of optical fibers each with a wide angle lens collectively disposed circumferentially and longitudinally to cover the volume of interest, as the particular region over which undesirable temperature may not be known beforehand. In other examples, the device may include an embedded array of infrared sensors extending sufficiently to encompass a volume of interest. The device may be used as part of a feedback control to regulate and stop operation of the ablation/cryoablation procedure to prevent vessel damage. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110257648 | ABLATION CATHETERS - The present invention relates generally to multifunctional catheters for performing ablation procedures, and more particularly to ablation catheters utilized in the treatment of atrial fibrillation and other cardiac disorders. The present invention eliminates many of the problems associated with previous ablation catheters by providing an ablation treatment not dependent upon continuous lesions. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20090240416 | Traction Control System Using Torque Sensor For Adaptive Engine Throttle Control - A system and method using a vehicle drive shaft torque coupled to a driven wheel and a non-driven wheel speed for a vehicle throttle control system includes reading first and second torque values generated by the torque sensor The method identifies when a sustained drop occurs between the first and second torque values. Another step determines if a change occurred between the first and second torque value readings in any of: a throttle position; a gear setting; and a brake pressure. A detected traction loss is signaled when the sustained drop occurred with no change between the first and second torque value readings in the throttle position, gear setting, and brake pressure. A desired throttle value is calculated using an engine torque and a target engine speed to prevent driven wheel slip. A throttle command signal changes an existing throttle value to the desired throttle value. | 09-24-2009 |
