20080232426 | System of Time-Temperature Integrators - Time-temperature integrators (TTIs) are useful for providing a means to monitor safety of fresh foods, particularly foods packaged in reduced-oxygen environments. TTIs of the present invention utilize Arrhenius-type curves to offer safety margins that satisfy regulator and shelf-life requirements. One method of using TTIs of the present invention involves using duel TTIs, one as a reference and one as a safety. | 09-25-2008 |
20140013824 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCREASING THE SPEED AND/OR RESOLUTION OF GAS PERMEATION MEASUREMENTS - A method and apparatus is provided for measuring the transmission rate of a substance through a material, such as a packaging film. The transmission rate of the substance during the test can be increased, or decreased, by increasing the pressure, or decreasing the pressure, respectively, at which the test is conducted. Embodiments can use a probe that does not consume the substance. Specific embodiments can utilize flowing gases. Other embodiments do not require any flowing gas during the measurement. | 01-16-2014 |

20110029010 | FLEXIBLE DISSECTING FORCEPS - A medical dissector having an elongate flexible shaft and dissecting jaws. The jaws moveable from opened to closed and from closed to open using pull actuation of an elongate actuation members such as a pull cables. A first pull cable controls opening of the jaws, while a second pull cable controls closing of the jaws. The shaft and jaws of the instrument are axially rotatable relative to the handle to rotate the jaws about the longitudinal axis of the shaft. | 02-03-2011 |
20110082456 | SURGICAL SNARE WITH ELECTROSURGICAL TIP AND METHOD OF USE - A medical device includes a tissue dissector and a snare loop on a common shaft. At least the distal tip of the snare loop is energizable to function as an electrosurgical element for tissue dissection. In use the snare loop is partially extended from the shaft to expose the electrosurgical element for electrosurgical dissection, and the snare loop is fully extended from the shaft to deploy the snare loop for retrieval and positioning of an implant such as a gastric banding device. The snare loop may be deployed through a pair of jaws also mounted on the shaft for use in tissue dissection. | 04-07-2011 |
20110230723 | Active Instrument Port System for Minimally-Invasive Surgical Procedures - An access system for surgical procedures includes an insertion tube having a distal end and a lumen, a pair of instrument delivery tubes extending through the lumen of the insertion tube, each instrument delivery tube having a fixed longitudinal position relative to the insertion tube and a steerable distal portion positioned distal to the distal end of the insertion tube. Proximal actuators are moveable to steer the distal portions of the instrument delivery tubes through manipulation of the handles of instruments extending through those tubes. First and second rigid tubes are mounted within the lumen, at least one of which has a distal end disposed within the lumen. | 09-22-2011 |
20130041372 | Surgical Snare with Electrosurgical Tip and Method of Use - A medical device includes a tissue dissector and a snare loop on a common shaft. At least the distal tip of the snare loop is energizable to function as an electrosurgical element for tissue dissection. In use the snare loop is partially extended from the shaft to expose the electrosurgical element for electrosurgical dissection, and the snare loop is fully extended from the shaft to deploy the snare loop for retrieval and positioning of an implant such as a gastric banding device. The snare loop may be deployed through a pair of jaws also mounted on the shaft for use in tissue dissection. | 02-14-2013 |

20090220416 | IMMUNOGLOBULIN ASSOCIATED CELL-SURFACE DETERMINANTS IN THE TREATMENT OF B-CELL DISORDERS - The present invention provides methods, compositions and vaccines for specifically targeting immunoglobulin associated cell-surface determinants that are not shed into the blood of a host. In some cases, the immunoglobulin associated cell-surface determinants will be involved in various B-cell disorders. The methods involve administering an IACSD targeting element to a B-cell. The method can employ treating an individual with a B-cell associated disorder by administering an effective amount of an IACSD targeting preparation. The compositions include isolated antibodies where the antibodies associate with an immunoglobulin associated cell-surface determinants. The invention also includes vaccines that immunize against immunoglobulin associated cell-surface determinants. | 09-03-2009 |

20090165814 | Ergonomic Dental Flossing Device - A dental flossing device comprising a handle and a floss holder. The floss holder comprises a base portion and a pair of spaced-apart arms accommodating dental floss therebetween. The floss holder has greater flexibility in a direction laterally perpendicular to the direction of the length of said length of dental floss than in the direction of the floss itself. This flexibility is provided either by incorporating at least one convoluted section into either the base portion or the pair of spaced-apart arms of the floss holder, or by providing either the base portion or the pair of spaced-apart arms with a reduced cross sectional dimension in the lateral direction generally perpendicular to the floss than in the direction generally parallel to the floss, or by means of a groove in the neck by which the floss holder is attached to the handle. | 07-02-2009 |
