20090161404 | Asymmetric dipolar ring - A device having a dipolar ring surrounding an interior region that is disposed asymmetrically on the ring. The dipolar ring generates a toroidal moment switchable between at least two stable states by a homogeneous field applied to the dipolar ring in the plane of the ring. The ring may be made of ferroelectric or magnetic material. In the former case, the homogeneous field is an electric field and in the latter case, the homogeneous field is a magnetic field. | 06-25-2009 |

20110142880 | LENTIVIRUS-BASED IMMUNOGENIC VECTORS - The present invention provides for lentiviral vectors for vaccine delivery comprising a 5′ long terminal repeat (LTR) and a 3′ LTR, an integrated nucleic acid sequence, wherein the integrated nucleic acid sequence is expressed by the 5′ LTR; and a nucleic acid sequence encoding functional REV coding sequence and a rev response element (RRE)-containing sequence, wherein the RRE-containing sequence is located upstream of the REV coding sequence, and wherein transcription of said first nucleic acid sequence and said second nucleic acid sequence is driven by said 5′ LTR. Also provided for are pharmaceutical compositions, methods of making and using the lentiviral vectors of the present invention. | 06-16-2011 |
20110263015 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR GENERATION OF PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS - The present invention describes the use of pre-trans-splicing molecules (PTMs) to reprogram human normal and diseased somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells using spliceosome-mediated RNA trans-splicing. More specifically, the present invention describes the use of the SMaRT™ technology to repair or reprogram the newly induced diseased pluripotent stem cells. | 10-27-2011 |

20080269377 | Hybrid PVC/wood-reinforcement nanocomposites and method of manufacture - Compositions including composites of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and nanoparticles are disclosed. A wood-polymer composite using the PVC-nanoparticle composite as a matrix also is disclosed. The nanoparticle filler is dispersed throughout the PVC matrix by blending the nanoparticles with a mixture of PVC particles that have been pre-heated to a temperature at or above a fusion point of the PVC, thereby fusing the PVC particles prior to the addition of the nanoparticles to the matrix. Also disclosed are methods of forming the composite compositions. The composite compositions can be used to replace wood boards. | 10-30-2008 |
