Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110077709MEDICAL DEVICE HAVING RESISTANCE WELDED CONNECTIONS - A medical device is electrically connected to a biological tissue for transmission of an electrical signal between the medical device and the biological tissue. The medical device includes a housing assembly and a control circuit assembly that controls the electrical signal. The control circuit assembly is enclosed within the housing assembly, and the control circuit assembly includes an electrically conductive terminal. The device further includes an electrical component at least partially enclosed within the housing assembly. The electrical component has a connecting member that electrically connects the electrical component to the control circuit assembly. The connecting member is resistance welded and bonded directly to the electrically conductive terminal of the control circuit assembly.03-31-2011
20110257711Medical Devices Including Flexible Circuit Bodies with Exposed Portions of Circuit Traces Attached to Electrical Contacts of Components - Medical devices include stimulation and/or sensing circuitry that is interconnected to electrical components by a flexible circuit body having exposed portions of circuit traces that are attached to electrical contacts of the electrical components. Each circuit trace may span a separate window formed in an insulative body of the flexible circuit body, or a plurality of circuit traces may span a single window or may be freely extending from the insulative body. The exposed portion of the circuit trace may be plated with a conductive metal and then attached to the electrical contact of the electrical component. The flexible circuit body may be an extension from a flexible electrical circuit board containing the circuit. The circuit may be present on a circuit board that includes electrical contacts and where the flexible circuit body has exposed portions of circuit traces attached to the electrical contacts of the circuit board.10-20-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090173409DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE FILLING OF A CUP BY A VENDING MACHINE - A device for controlling the filling of a receptacle with liquid by a drink vending machine. The device includes visual marking device for marking the liquid fill level in the receptacle, a device for emitting a signal towards the receptacle, a device for receiving an incident signal and which receives the incident signal returning from the receptacle and a controlling device configured for commanding the stoppage of filling on the basis of a variation of the incident signal. The receiving device includes a series of photoelectric receivers and at least one variable which is a displacement of a light incident signal measured by the receivers.07-09-2009
20100236660DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE FILLING OF A CUP BY A VENDING MACHINE - A device for controlling the filling of a receptacle with liquid by a drink vending machine. The device includes visual marking device for marking the liquid fill level in the receptacle, a device for emitting a signal towards the receptacle, a device for receiving an incident signal and which receives the incident signal returning from the receptacle and a controlling device configured for commanding the stoppage of filling on the basis of a variation of the incident signal. The receiving device includes a series of photoelectric receivers and at least one variable which is a displacement of a light incident signal measured by the receivers. The visual marking, emitter and receiver are displaceable en masse so as to make it possible to modify the marking of the level of fill in the receptacle.09-23-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090298766DETECTION AND TREATMENT OF CANCERS - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the detection and treatment of melanoma and skin cancers. More particularly, the invention discloses that BCSC-1 expression is altered in melanoma and skin cancer cells, allowing the design of effective detection methods and kits for such conditions. The invention also shows that restoring or increasing expression of BCSC-1 in melanoma and skin cancer cells suppresses tumorigenicity and represents a novel and effective approach for the treatment of melanoma and skin cancers. The invention may be used to detect the presence, stage or type of melanoma and skin cancers, as well as any predisposition thereto. The invention may be used in any mammalian subject, particularly human subjects.12-03-2009
