20110168630 | GRAFT COPOLYMERS, METHODS FOR GRAFTING HYDROPHILIC CHAINS ONTO HYDROPHOBIC POLYMERS, AND ARTICLES THEREOF - The present invention relates to synthetic methods for grafting hydrophilic chains onto polymers, particularly hydrophobic polymers such as poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and chlorinated polypropylene (cPP). Resulting polymers include comb polymers which can have a microphase-separated structure of hydrophilic domains provided by the hydrophilic chains. Articles prepared from these comb polymers, particularly derived from PVDF, include membranes for water filtration in which the hydrophilic domains provide a pathway for water transport. PVC can be plasticized by grafting the PVC with hydrophilic chains. In addition, such articles, particularly articles having biomedical applications, can display anti-thrombogenic properties. | 07-14-2011 |
20110198288 | Fouling Resistant Membranes Formed with Polyacrylonitrile Graft Copolymers - The present application is generally directed towards polyacrylonitrile— (PAN—) based, amphophilic graft copolymers, for example, for the production of membranes for liquid filtration. In one aspect, the present invention provides systems and methods for preparing high flux, fouling resistant nanofiltration membranes whose pore size can be readily tuned. In some cases, microphase separation of a graft copolymer comprising a backbone comprising polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and hydrophilic side-chains is used. In some cases, nanochannels of tunable width are formed, which may give the membrane permselective properties and/or anti-fouling character. In some cases, a copoylmer may be used as an additive in the immersion precipitation casting of ultrafiltration or microfiltration membranes. In certain instances, the additive can segregate to the membrane exterior and/or pore surfaces, e.g., due to favorable interactions between the hydrophilic side chains and the surrounding environment, which may create a surface that resists fouling, e.g., by biological molecules. | 08-18-2011 |

20150223964 | DEVICE FOR ASSISTING AND TRAINING THE HYPEREXTENSION OF PLANTAR FLEXION OF THE ANKLE AND METHOD OF USE - A new and useful device for assisting and training the hyperextension of plantar flexion of the ankle which can be operated by a single user, is easy to use, allows for variable adjustment of the angle of plantar flexion, is handheld, and can be used in a variety of applications and physical disciplines. This device is believed to be useful in the athletic and physical arts disciplines such as ballet. The device comprises a handle that is rotationally connected to a plantar attachment by way of a central axis rod. When connected together, the plantar attachment rotates around the central axis rod, thereby creating angles relative to the handle. The device can be locked into a desired angle by the insertion of a locking pin prior to use. The user places her foot on the sole portion of the plantar attachment, fixes an attaching means around her foot, and places her heel into a calcaneal well on the handle. Finally with the device attached to the foot, the user extends her leg and gently flexes the ankle by moving the handle of the device toward and away from the leg as needed. Over time the user's ankle will become more flexible and strong, thereby allowing proper pointe technique, alignment of the foot and minimizing injury. | 08-13-2015 |

20090150349 | DYNAMIC GEOGRAPHICAL SPATIAL SEARCH - A method for performing a dynamic spatial search for points of interest proximal to a path of travel of a moving user. As the user moves along a path, a search is regularly conducted to provide updated information about points of interest for the user.

Search results from the overlap region are reused as part of point of interest search results for the current search region. New point of interest search results are calculated only for a portion of the new search region outside of the overlap region. Preferably, search results from the previously determined search region that are outside of the overlap are no longer needed and are discarded. | 06-11-2009 |
