The window treatment includes one or more panels of fabric, each panel including a rod pocket and a hanging portion extending from the rod pocket. The rod pocket defines a channel that extends between two openings for receiving a portion of the curtain rod. A portion of the panel of fabric defines a flange of the window treatment that is designed to extend along a support bracket such that, when in a hanging configuration, the support bracket is substantially covered by the flange. In this way, the flanges are designed to make the support brackets less visible to observers and thus make the window treatment more pleasing to view without the use of additional hardware. | 09-09-2010 |

20120261082 | WINDOW TREATMENT - Window treatments are provided that include a built-in mechanism for opening and closing the window treatment that is easy to use and does not detract from or enhances the aesthetic appearance of the window treatment. The window treatment includes a panel of fabric that has one or two drawstrings extending through a pocket of the panel. A user may pull on the drawstrings, typically from behind the panel (i.e., the window side), to contract the width of the panel, thereby “opening” the window treatment. The drawstrings may then be tied together or otherwise fastened to secure the panel in the open position. The drawstrings may be accessible from the window side of the panel and, thus, may not be visible to a viewer from the room side of the panel. In addition, because the drawstrings are part of the window treatment, no additional hardware or accessories are required. | 10-18-2012 |

20110034788 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR USING MULTIPLE SENSORS TO MEASURE DIFFERENTIAL BLOOD TRANSPORT TIME IN A PATIENT - The difference in time that it takes for blood to flow to two locations in a patient's body can be measured by placing, on the patient's body, sensors for non-invasively detecting a variable characteristic of the content of the blood at each of those locations. The time of occurrence of a change in that characteristic as detected by one of the sensors is compared to the time of occurrence of that same change as detected by the other sensor. The difference between these two times is a measure of the difference in time that it takes for blood to flow to the locations of the two sensors. | 02-10-2011 |
