20090239246 | Biomarkers - The invention provides methods for predicting, diagnosing or monitoring acute cardiac disorders, cardiac transplant rejection, or distinguishing acute cardiac disorders from pulmonary disorders, by measuring BNP signal peptide levels in a sample taken from a subject shortly after onset of, or presentation with the disorder or transplant rejection. | 09-24-2009 |
20110008808 | BIOMARKERS - The invention provides binding agents and assays for ghrelin signal peptide. The agents and assays are useful in methods for predicting, diagnosing, assessing or monitoring acute cardiac disorders, glucose handling disorders and diabetes in a subject. Also provided are nucleotides, polypeptides, and kits useful in the methods of the invention. | 01-13-2011 |
20110033874 | BIOMARKERS - The invention provides methods for predicting, diagnosing or monitoring acute cardiac disorders, cardiac transplant rejection, or distinguishing acute cardiac disorders from pulmonary disorders, by measuring ANP signal peptide levels in a sample taken from a subject shortly after onset of, or presentation with the disorder or transplant rejection. Also provided are antibodies useful in the methods of the invention. | 02-10-2011 |
20110104723 | BIOMARKERS - The invention provides binding agents and assays for insulin signal peptide. The agents and assays are useful in methods for predicting, diagnosing, assessing or monitoring acute cardiac disorders, glucose handling disorders and diabetes in a subject. Also provided are nucleotides, polypeptides, and kits useful in the methods of the invention. | 05-05-2011 |

20100299837 | VACUUM PACKED INFLATABLE STRETCHER WITH FRANGIBLE OVERWRAP AND METHOD OF DEPLOYING SAME - Disclosed is an inflatable stretcher. The stretcher is stored in a deflated state within a frangible outer covering. A lanyard is connected to the internal gas vessel via an “external to internal” mechanical link which does not violate the vacuum seal of the stretcher's outer covering. Pulling the lanyard activates the vessel to rapidly inflate the stretcher. This inflation causes an overpressure condition within the covering that results in a progressive tear and the eventual separation of the outer covering. The stretcher can thereafter be used to transport a patient. | 12-02-2010 |
20110024569 | ATTENUATED LANDING SYSTEM - Disclosed is an attenuated landing system. The landing system includes one or more inflatable structures that are mounted to the underside of a cargo platform. A terrain sensor is likewise mounted to the underside of the cargo platform and is activated upon being air-dropped. Once terrain is detected, pressurized gas vessels are pyrotechnically activated to inflate the structures. Once fully inflated, the structures effectively cushion the landing of the cargo platform and, thereby, protect sensitive on-board equipment. | 02-03-2011 |
20120000575 | Interface Assembly for Space Vehicles - Disclosed is a multipart valve assembly. The assembly can be used in selectively coupling two vehicles. The assembly includes inter-fitting male and female components and associated control valves. Coupling the male and female components establishes media (fluid or gas), communications, and electrical paths between space vehicles. This permits the passage of media from one vehicle to the other and likewise enables one vehicle to operate the control valve of the other vehicle. | 01-05-2012 |
20120025027 | System for Air Borne Deployment of Palletized Cargo - Disclosed is a system for the airborne deployment and delivery of palletized cargo. The system includes a cargo pallet, one or more risers connected to the pallet, and an associated rigging. The risers are used in both stabilizing the cargo and in cushioning the impacts associated with transport and landing. The rigging is used to secure the pallet to one or more parachutes that are deployed as the pallet leaves the aircraft. | 02-02-2012 |
20140047682 | Water Activated Restraint Release System - Disclosed is a water activated restraint release that is designed to be retrofitted onto an existing restraint system. Upon detecting the presence of water, the restraint releases a buckle mechanism to thereby release a passenger. | 02-20-2014 |
