20080272159 | Garment support device - Garment supporting devices and garment hangers are disclosed. One garment supporting device for attaching to a garment hanger comprises a shoulder receiving section operable to conform to a shoulder region of a garment when hung on the garment hanger.

20110230427 | MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR STABILIZING NANOPARTICLES IN SALT SOLUTIONS - Sequence-specific polymers are proving to be a powerful approach to assembly and manipulation of matter on the nanometer scale. This has been most impressive in the case of DNA, and progress has been made toward templating inorganic nanoparticles using DNA nanostructures. One obstacle to this progress is that inorganic nanomaterials are often incompatible with DNA assembly conditions, which involve aqueous solutions high in either or both monovalent and divalent salt. Synthetic oligopeptide ligands have been shown by others to improve nanoparticle stability in high concentrations of monovalent salt. Ligands that are peptoids, or sequence-specific N-functional glycine oligomers, allow precise and flexible control over the arrangement of binding groups, steric spacers, charge, and other functionality. We have synthesized short peptoids that can prevent the aggregation of gold nanoparticles in high-salt environments including divalent salt, and allow co-adsorption of a single DNA molecule. This degree of precision and versatility is likely to prove essential in bottom-up assembly of nanostructures and in biomedical applications of nanomaterials. | 09-22-2011 |

20110112380 | Method and System for Optimal Estimation in Medical Diagnosis - A system and method for estimating and updating the current state of disease of a patient, called the disease impression. The disease impression of the patient, for a disease with a set of possible disease conditions, is updated based upon the current disease impression, the outcome of a test performed with respect to the disease in the patient, and the conditional probabilities of obtaining the test outcome given each of the disease conditions for the disease. The conditional probabilities with respect to all possible outcomes of the test and conditions of the disease may be stored in a likelihood matrix, which comprises a medical knowledge base. Because tests are error prone, the estimate of the patient's state of disease evolves according to a hidden Markov model, which allows the clinical impression of the patient to be computed in real-time. By applying the method to many diseases and many tests, large-scale medical diagnosis is achieved and is computationally tractable because as a result of the process, such diagnosis becomes stochastic filtering problem that is trivially parallel. In addition, the expected diagnostic utility of any test can be predicted. The same knowledge base is used to perform both inference and prediction. | 05-12-2011 |

20090018415 | Methods and Apparatuses for Noninvasive Determinations of Analytes using Parallel Optical Paths - The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for accurate noninvasive determination of tissue properties. Some embodiments of the present invention comprise an optical sampler having an illumination subsystem, adapted to communicate light having a first polarization along a first path to a tissue surface; a collection subsystem, adapted to collect light having a second polarization communicated from the tissue along a second path after interaction with the tissue; wherein the first polarization is different from the second polarization; and wherein the first path and the second path are substantially parallel for at least of portion of each path. | 01-15-2009 |
20110184260 | Methods and Apparatuses for Noninvasive Determinations of Analytes - The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for accurate noninvasive determination of tissue properties. Some embodiments of the present invention comprise an optical sampler having an illumination subsystem, adapted to communicate light having a first polarization to a tissue surface; a collection subsystem, adapted to collect light having a second polarization communicated from the tissue after interaction with the tissue; wherein the first polarization is different from the second polarization. The difference in the polarizations can discourage collection of light specularly reflected from the tissue surface, and can encourage preferential collection of light that has interacted with a desired depth of penetration or path length distribution in the tissue. The different polarizations can, as examples, be linear polarizations with an angle between, or elliptical polarizations of different handedness. | 07-28-2011 |
20120179010 | Determination of a Measure of a Glycation End-Product or Disease State Using Tissue Fluorescence of Various Sites - Embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus suitable for determining properties of in vivo tissue. An illumination system communicates light at a plurality of broadband ranges to an optical probe, which can comprise a flexible probe. Light homogenizers and mode scramblers can be employed in some embodiments. The optical probe can physically contact the tissue, or can be maintained separate from the tissue. The optical probe receives light from the illumination system and transmits it to tissue, and receives light diffusely reflected in response to the broadband light, emitted from the in vivo tissue by fluorescence thereof in response to the broadband light, or a combination thereof. The optical probe can communicate the light to a spectrograph which produces a signal representative of the spectral properties of the light. An analysis system determines a property of the in vivo tissue from the spectral properties. | 07-12-2012 |
