The angiogenic potential of the transplants is increased by contacting the transplants with donor mesenchymal cells such as hair follicle dermal papilla stem cells. Methods for treating disorders and diseases, such as disorders of the skin and angiopathies, are also disclosed. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100098675 | METHODS FOR REDUCING THE SIDE EFFECTS OF OPHTHALMIC LASER SURGERY - A method for treating the side effects resulting from ophthalmic lasery surgery of the eye. The method administers stem cells as a means for treating the destruction of retinal and other tissues resulting from photocoagulation in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy and other eye disorders. Methods for using the invention with other ophthalmic laser surgical procedures, and other eye disorders, are also disclosed. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100209398 | Compositions of stem cells and stem cell factors and methods for their use and manufacture - Therapeutic stem cells and methods for their use and manufacture. Stem cells are produced under conditions in which the stem cells are exposed to at least one environmental factor, including decreased oxygen tension. The environmental factors and culture conditions of the invention produce stem cells having an enhanced therapeutic ability and enhanced proliferation in culture. Stem cells of the invention retain their plasticity through a higher number of cell passages relative to know methods of stem cell culture. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110160712 | Laser treatment system and method for producing thermal cavities and energy droplets - A laser process for tissue treatment. Preferred embodiments include features for producing a first laser beam and a second laser beam and a skin cooler for cooling the surface of a region of skin. The system is designed to utilize the first laser beam for heating a volume of skin tissue below the cooled surface region to a temperature below skin tissue damage threshold. This volume of skin tissue is called a “thermal cavity”. The second laser beam is divided into a plurality of separate laser beams that are directed through separate optical fibers and via separate paths through skin tissue to a single tiny volume of skin tissue within the thermal cavity to heat that tiny volume to a temperature above the damage threshold. This tiny volume is called an energy droplet. Thus tiny regions of tissue are damaged while minimizing or preventing any significant damage to adjacent tissue. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20080222216 | Application migration file scanning and conversion - An application migration planning manager is provided for scanning and reporting compatibility information of stored application files, followed by conversion of selected files from a first application version format to a target application version format. A scanning module scans selected files to determine whether the scanned files are formatted according to application versions that may be incompatible with target application versions. A reporting module reports the compatibility data for the scanned files. If scanned files include multiple versions of a given document or data, the scanned files may be passed to a version extraction module for stripping the files of all but a single version of the given document or data. Each stripped version may be saved as a separate additional file. The version-stripped files and the saved additional files then may be reported back to the reporting module for further processing. Scanned files may be automatically or manually sent to a file converter module where they may be converted to a target application version. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090106235 | Document Length as a Static Relevance Feature for Ranking Search Results - Embodiments are configured to provide information based on a user query. In an embodiment, a system includes a search component having a ranking component that can be used to rank search results as part of a query response. In one embodiment, the ranking component includes a ranking algorithm that can use the length of documents returned in response to a search query to rank search results. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090240680 | TECHNIQUES TO PERFORM RELATIVE RANKING FOR SEARCH RESULTS - Techniques to perform relative ranking for search results are described. An apparatus may include an enhanced search component operative to receive a search query and provide ranked search results responsive to the search query. The enhanced search component may comprise a resource search module operative to search for resources using multiple search terms from the search query, and output a set of resources having some or all of the search terms. The enhanced search component may also comprise a proximity generation module communicatively coupled to the resource search module, the proximity generation module operative to receive the set of resources, retrieve search term position information for each resource, and generate a proximity feature value based on the search term position information. The enhanced search component may further comprise a resource ranking module communicatively coupled to the resource search module and the proximity generation module, the resource ranking module to receive the proximity feature values, and rank the resources based in part on the proximity feature values. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090259651 | SEARCH RESULTS RANKING USING EDITING DISTANCE AND DOCUMENT INFORMATION - Architecture for extracting document information from documents received as search results based on a query string, and computing an edit distance between the data string and the query string. The edit distance is employed in determining relevance of the document as part of result ranking by detecting near-matches of a whole query or part of the query. The edit distance evaluates how close the query string is to a given data stream that includes document information such as TAUC (title, anchor text, URL, clicks) information, etc. The architecture includes the index-time splitting of compound terms in the URL to allow the more effective discovery of query terms. Additionally, index-time filtering of anchor text is utilized to find the top N anchors of one or more of the document results. The TAUC information can be input to a neural network (e.g., 2-layer) to improve relevance metrics for ranking the search results. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090327266 | Index Optimization for Ranking Using a Linear Model - Technologies are described herein for providing a more efficient approach to ranking search results. One method reduces an amount of ranking data analyzed at query time. In the method, a term is selected, at index time, from a master index. The term corresponds to a number of documents greater than a threshold. A set of documents that includes the term is selected based on the master index. A rank is determined for each document in the set of documents that contains the term. Each document in the set of documents that contains the term is assigned to a high ranking index or a low ranking index based on the simple rank. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100121838 | INDEX OPTIMIZATION FOR RANKING USING A LINEAR MODEL - Technologies are described herein for providing a more efficient approach to ranking search results. An illustrative technology reduces an amount of ranking data analyzed at query time. In the technology, a term is selected, at index time, from a master index. The term corresponds to a number of documents greater than a threshold. A set of documents that includes the term is selected based on the master index. A rank is determined for each document in the set of documents that contains the term. Each document in the set of documents that contains the term is assigned to a top document list or a bottom document list based on the rank. Predefined values of at least part of the rank are stored in the top document list for documents in the top document list and are not stored in the bottom document list for documents in the bottom document list. | 05-13-2010 |
