The probe may alternatively be controlled by a separate user interface which wirelessly transmits control signals to the host system or the probe. Either user interface may also include a display such as battery charge and signal strength indicators. | 06-24-2010 |
20100277305 | Wireless Ultrasound Probe Asset Tracking - A wireless ultrasound probe has a probe case enclosing a transducer array, an acquisition circuit, a transceiver and a battery. The probe also includes a loudspeaker which produces audible sounds as a function of the range between the wireless probe and a host system. When the probe is within a near field range of the host system, the loudspeaker is silent. But if the probe is moved to an intermediate or a far field range from the host system, the loudspeaker sounds an alert. This audible alert can be used to locate the probe by transmitting a paging signal which, upon reception by the probe, causes the probe to sound its alert. If the probe is moved to an unauthorized location where it is within range of a transmitter or receiver, the reception of a signal by the probe, the transmitter, or receiver will sound an alert signaling the unauthorized presence of the wireless probe. | 11-04-2010 |

20100276087 | ROTARY CLAMP MECHANISM FOR A FIBER PLACEMENT HEAD - A rotary clamp mechanism for a fiber placement head comprises a one-way bearing and a freewheeling roller mounted upstream of the restart mechanism. An actuating mechanism brings the freewheeling roller and the one-way bearing into contact with the fiber tow and allows the tow to be fed through the head from the upstream to the downstream end, but prevents the fiber tow from traveling in the reverse direction through the head. The rotary clamp is put into contact with the fiber tow prior to cutting the tow, and remains in contact with the tow until the restart mechanism has advanced the cut tow to the delivery end of the head. The rotary clamp eliminates the need for precise timing between the cutting and clamping mechanisms, and increases the application rate of fiber tow by the head. | 11-04-2010 |

ECAT is designed to meet the challenge of assessing health risks and determining what actions need to be taken during a crisis caused by a terrorist attack or natural disaster. ECAT provides instant access to key information and allows its users to conduct rapid analyses. The tool also provides a holistic approach to rapid risk assessment by integrating critical information across many diverse scientific disciplines and is a useful training tool. ECAT allows its users to conduct health risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication. It allows users not only to define the health threats, but also to determine what actions need to be taken to protect the public and first responders, and how best to communicate this information to the public. It evaluates the risks from chemical and biological agents in multiple environments, such as indoors, outdoors and from water contact, including ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure. Further, ECAT has the potential to quantify risks to different human subpopulations. | 07-08-2010 |

20130344594 | STEM CELLS AND PANCREATIC CELLS USEFUL FOR THE TREATMENT OF INSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS - Fresh human pancreas tissue can be used as a source of cells whence to identify and select a non-stem cell population that is predisposed to be a source for surrogate pancreatic cells that can be used in treating insulin-dependent diabetes. The progenitors of these surrogate pancreatic cells have no reprogramming genes integrated into their genomes, differentiate to the pancreatic lineage pursuant to a protocol that employs only defined reagents, and are substantially unable to differentiate to the mesodermal lineage. | 12-26-2013 |
