20140163529 | Adapter For A Feeding Tube - A feeding tube adapter includes two detachable members. Each member is fluidly connected to one of two feeding tubes that supply fluid from a feed source to a patient. When attached, the feeding tube adapter enables fluid to flow from the feed source to the patient. When detached, the feeding tube adapter reduces or eliminates leakage of fluid from the fluid source. A force that detaches the feeding tube adapter is less than a force that removes a section of feeding tube from within the patient. | 06-12-2014 |
20130190586 | Multi-Terminal Nanoelectrode Array - An electrode for monitoring nerve activity has been developed. The electrode includes an array of electrically conductive projections extending from a surface of an electrical contact that enable the electrical contact to be connected directly to the nerve. | 07-25-2013 |
20120088720 | INHIBITORS OF PROTEIN TYROSINE PHOSPHATASES - Disclosed herein are compounds that selectively inhibit members of the PTP family of enzymes. Synthesized compounds demonstrated selective inhibition of TC-PTP. Also provided are methods of using the compounds and formulations containing the compounds. Also described is a fluorescence-tagged combinatorial library synthesis and screening method. And methods of using these compounds to effect enzyme activity both in cells and in vitro as well as method of using these compounds to treat diseases in human and animals. | 04-12-2012 |
20110218415 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS FROM HEART NERVE ACTIVITY - A method has been developed that detects cardiac arrhythmia from intrinsic cardiac nerve signals obtained from a heart in a patient. The method includes sampling intrinsic cardiac nerve activity at a high sample rate, filtering the sampled signal with a high pass filter, comparing the filtered signal to a predetermined threshold, and initiating a therapeutic action in response to the filtered signal exceeding the predetermined threshold. The intrinsic cardiac nerve activity may be received through an electrode implanted on the heart or from an electrode inserted into the venous structure of the heart. | 09-08-2011 |
20090104242 | NIOBIUM OXIDE COMPOSITIONS, NANOSTRUCTURES, BIOACTIVE FORMS AND USES THEREOF - Self-organized niobium oxide nanocones with nano-sized tips are prepared by anodization of niobium in the presence of an electrolyte such as hydrofluoric acid (HF) (aq.). Dimensions and integrity of the bulk nanostructures formed are strongly dependent on potential, temperature, electrolyte composition, and anodization times. Accordingly, the morphology, topology, uniformity and bioactivity of the niobium oxide nanostructures formed can be readily adjusted by adjusting these anodization parameters. A bioactive form of crystalline niobium oxide is formed by anodizing niobium metal in the presence of an electrolyte that includes HF and at least one salt such as Na | 04-23-2009 |
