20130211893 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED RFID BASED COMMERCE REWARDS - Systems and methods for social sharing and online publishing of advertisement messages concerning products or services. In one embodiment, an advertising message associated with a radio frequency identification based transmission may be published online by a user of a wireless ordering device. The users sharing of such messages may serve as an endorsement of the brand, product or service. A system, such as a commerce data organization system and/or vendor system, may then reward or credit the message sharer (e.g., consumer affiliate) based on variables the vendor or advertiser chooses, such as social influence, audience reach and performance based metrics. In some cases, the technology involves a method for consumers to engage with RFID based advertising to gain rewards. The rewards may be in the form of affiliate points that consumers may gain each time they share a message. | 08-15-2013 |

20080249189 | HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS AS SWEETENER ENHANCERS - The present invention is directed to the use of a compound of Formula I | 10-09-2008 |
20090136975 | Non-desensitizing mutant of the transient receptor potential TRPM5 ion channel - There exists a need in the art for high throughput screening assays that can identify compounds that specifically modulate the activity of fast-acting ion channels, such as TRPM5. Current methods, especially electrophysiological, suffer from a lack of sensitivity, rapid signal loss, low throughput, and are labor intensive. The claimed methods and compositions provide electrophysiology methods that allow prolonged sample testing and fluorescent assays with an optical readout that gives rapid readout of the results, has a high signal to noise background ratio, are easy to use, can be modified for automation and miniaturization, and provide verification that a compound specifically modulates TRPM5. | 05-28-2009 |
20090175848 | Modulation of the Cooperativity Between the Ion Channels TRPM5 and TRPA1 - The present invention is related to modulating TRPA1 ion channel activity by targeting the ion channel TRPM5. The cooperativity between the ion channels can be used to modulate pain, mechanosensation and taste responses triggered through TRPA1 by modulating the activity of TRPM5 | 07-09-2009 |

20100248987 | Screening Assay for Inhibitors of TRPA1 Activation by a Lower Alkyl Phenol - The invention relates an assay useful for screening and identifying compounds as modulators of lower alkyl phenol activation of TRPA1. Thymol, a lower alkyl phenol anti-infective and the active ingredient in, e.g., mouthwashes, is stringent and has an objectionable burning taste sensation. Thymol activates the transient receptor potential like ion channel TRPA1. The assay described and claimed herein involves measurement of activation of TRPA1 and enables the screening of compounds that inhibit lower alkyl phenol, or thymol activation of TRPA1. Inhibitors of thymol activation of TRPA1 can be used to prevent the objectionable taste of thymol in medical uses where taste limits acceptance. | 09-30-2010 |
