20110096968 | EXTENSION OF THE FIELD OF VIEW OF A COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM IN THE PRESENCE OF INTERFERING OBJECTS - A method and system for generating a field of view extension of a CT scan and minimizing the effect of interfering objects is described. The system is configured and the method carries out the steps of generating a full sinogram based upon CT scan data of a scanned object and any interfering objects within the scanning field; determining the location of any interfering objects within the CT data based on physical and geometrical properties of the interfering objects; generating an ideal sinogram of any interfering objects based on their location and physical properties; subtracting the ideal sinogram from the full sinogram; extending a sinogram free of any interfering objects; and adding the ideal sinogram of interfering objects to the extended sinogram of the scanned object. Speeding up the computation of the extended sinogram by creating a look-up table of the tunable parameter of the extension function. | 04-28-2011 |

20150297155 | PRE-OBJECT FILTER FOR SHAPING PROFILE OF RADIATION ATTENTUATION IN FAN-ANGLE DIRECTION - Among other things, one or more systems and/or techniques are described for shaping a profile of radiation attenuation in a fan-angle direction via a pre-object filter (e.g., a bowtie filter) based upon a profile of an object. For example, a pre-object filter may be at least partially rotated about a filter axis and/or may be translated in a direction parallel to a direction of conveyance of the object under examination to adjust a profile of radiation attenuation in the fan-angle direction. Further, in one embodiment, the profile of radiation attenuation may be reshaped during rotation of the radiation source about the object to adjust an amount of radiation attenuation in the fan-angle direction (e.g., to adjust a profile of radiation attenuation as a shape of the object changes from a perspective of a radiation source as the radiation source is rotated about the object). | 10-22-2015 |

20120148594 | MIMOTOPES OF HIV AND USES THEREOF - The invention provides methods, compositions and kits for treating and or preventing diseases having immunological components associated with their etiology and/or progression (e.g., an HIV infection). A mimotope that mimics an epitope of an antigen may be administered to an individual to induce or enhance an immune response for the treatment of a disease. For example, HIV envelope-like polypeptides (wild-type HIV polypeptides and mimotopes) may be administered to an individual so as to induce a protective immune response to HIV. Alternatively, antibodies directed to a mimotope may be administered to an individual to treat or prevent a disease. Antibodies directed to HIV envelope-like polypeptides may be administered to an individual to treat or prevent an HIV infection and/or one or more symptoms associated with the infection (e.g., AIDS). In another embodiment, the invention provides compositions and methods for isolating an epitope specific B cell. | 06-14-2012 |

20090120821 | DISPOSABLE CONTAINER SYSTEM AND METHOD WITH REUSABLE HOOD ASSEMBLY - A kit for medical waste disposal comprising a plurality of containers; a hood assembly configured to substantially cover an open end of a respective one said containers, the hood assembly defining a passage through which medical waste can be passed to the open end of said container; and a plurality of lids, separate from the hood assembly, each configured to be placed over an open end of a respective container and to substantially close the open end of said container when said container is at least partially filled with medical waste; each of said containers being configured for separation from the hood assembly for disposal. | 05-14-2009 |
20090145901 | Medical Waste Disposal System - A container system is provided with a container having a door mounted for pivotal reciprocation about a door pivot axis between opened and closed positions. The container system also has a carrier with a body receiving the container and an arm coupled to the body for pivotal reciprocation about an arm pivot axis that is oriented substantially parallel to the door pivot axis. The arm engages the door of the container, and the pivotal reciprocation of the arm reciprocates the door of the container between the opened and closed positions. | 06-11-2009 |
20090166373 | MEDICAL IMPLEMENT DISTRIBUTION AND COLLECTION SYSTEM - A sharps dispensing and disposal system configured for mounting within an interior of an enclosure is disclosed. The sharps dispensing and disposal system includes a dispensing chamber and a disposal chamber that are each configured to be substantially enclosed within the interior of the enclosure. The dispensing chamber and the disposal chamber are defined by separate containers that are each formed from a leak resistant material. | 07-02-2009 |
20110253716 | Medical Waste Disposal System - A method of medical waste disposal comprising (a) positioning an open end of a container relative to a hood assembly such that the hood assembly substantially covers the open end of the container; (b) depositing medical waste in the container through a passage defined by the hood assembly until the container is at least partially full; (c) placing a lid over the open end of the container such that the open end is substantially closed; (d) disposing of the container; (e) sterilizing the hood assembly; and (f) repeating step (a). | 10-20-2011 |
