Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100144607ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANTIALLERGIC CYCLIC PEPTIDES - The present invention refers to synthetic, cyclic peptides containing a sequence of 13 L-amino acids in their primary structure which present anti-inflammatory and antiallergic activities, useful for the treatment of acute or chronic inflammation and/or allergies, being particularly useful for the treatment of acute or chronic allergic asthma. The invention also describes a pharmaceutical composition containing said peptides, its use and a method to treat or prevent acute and/or chronic inflammatory and/or allergic disorders.06-10-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090299415PEDICULAR PERCUTANEOUS MINIMALLY INVASIVE SCREW - A pedicular percutaneous minimally invasive screw for use in connection with progressive cannulae which allows screws to be installed in a patient without necessarily cutting or destroying ligaments and muscles, the progressive cannulae going from larger to smaller diameters until the point where a perforation is made, through which the pedicular percutaneous screw enters, guided by a fine filament which precisely positions the screw in the location desired. Adjacent screws are connected via a connection bar that unites the two screws and fixes the bones of a patient's column, wherein the connecting bar is attached to the screw by a compression screw, which is threaded on the body itself.12-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100130827SURGICAL ACCESS SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS - A surgical access system including a tissue distraction assembly and a tissue retraction assembly, both of which may be equipped with one or more electrodes for use in detecting the existence of (and optionally the distance and/or direction to) neural structures before, during, and after the establishment of an operative corridor to a surgical target site. Some embodiments of the surgical access system may be particularly suited for establishing an operative corridor to a surgical target site in the spine. Such an operative corridor may be established through the retroperitoneal space and the psoas muscle during a direct lateral, retroperitoneal approach to the spine.05-27-2010
20100286784Total disc replacement system and related methods - Total disc replacement systems and related methods involving a lateral, trans-psoas surgical approach to the spine while performing at least one of continuous and intermittent intra-operative neural monitoring of the psoas muscle to avoid injury during introduction.11-11-2010
20110098535SURGICAL ACCESS SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS - A surgical access system including a tissue distraction assembly and a tissue retraction assembly, both of which may be equipped with one or more electrodes for use in detecting the existence of (and optionally the distance and/or direction to) neural structures before, during, and after the establishment of an operative corridor to a surgical target site. Some embodiments of the surgical access system may be particularly suited for establishing an operative corridor to a surgical target site in the spine. Such an operative corridor may be established through the retroperitoneal space and the psoas muscle during a direct lateral, retroperitoneal approach to the spine.04-28-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090295353DIFFERENTIAL CURRENT SENSOR DEVICE AND METHOD - A current sensor having a pair of sense transistors is disclosed. The sense transistors sense a current conducted by a power transistor of a voltage regulator. The ratio in size between the power transistor and the sense transistors corresponds to a scaling factor M. Each sense transistor has an associated series connected sense resistor. The two sense resistors are unbalanced and provide a differential voltage based on the sensed current at the sense transistor to a transconductor. The transconductor has heavy emitter degeneration to provide an output current substantially proportional to the current conducted by the primary power transistor, the proportion determined by the scaling factor M and a ratio of the emitter degeneration and sense resistors.12-03-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080278135BOOTSTRAP CLAMPING CIRCUIT FOR DC/DC REGULATORS AND METHOD THEREOF - A clamping circuit of a DC/DC regulator includes a reference current generator to generate a reference current. The reference current can be based upon a specified maximum voltage across a bootstrap capacitor of the DC/DC regulator. The clamping circuit also includes a current generator that generates a current based on the voltage across the bootstrap capacitor. The current generated by the current generator is compared to the generated reference current. Based on the comparison, the voltage across the bootstrap capacitor is regulated. By regulating the voltage across the bootstrap capacitor based on current, rather than based directly on the voltage across the capacitor, the design of the clamping circuit is simplified compared to voltage-based implementations.11-13-2008
