20100203053 | METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR TREATING IMMUNE COMPLEX ASSOCIATED DISORDERS - The present invention provides methods and compositions for treating immune complex associated diseases (ICAD), such as SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, and hepatitis-C related immune complex disease (e.g., cryoglobulinemia) in a subject having an ICAD or at risk for developing ICAD. The invention is based upon the surprising finding that chromatin-containing immune complexes activate autoreactive B cells and dendritic cells by a dual receptor engagement process which, in both cell types, involves a Toll-like receptor (TLR). The methods of treating ICAD comprise administering a compound to an individual in need thereof that either 1) inhibits formation of the immune complex either by preventing formation and/or binding to the TLR, or 2) interferes with binding of an autoantigen-containing immune complex (or the antigenic component thereof) to the TLR, or 3) inhibits signaling pathways initiated by dual engagement of BCR and TLR (in B cells) or FcR and TLR (in dendritic cells) via immune complexed or uncomplexed autoantigens. | 08-12-2010 |

20110093091 | Tensegrity Joints for Prosthetic, Orthotic, and Robotic Devices - Embodiments of the invention relate to a prosthetic, orthotic, or robotic foot having at least two joints. One joint is located in a position analogous to the human MTP joint, and the other is located in a position analogous to the human subtalar joint. Motions of these two joints are mechanically couples. Furthermore, these joints are created using “tensegrity” design principals, where connections between the compression members are made by a network of tension members. These tension members create axes of motion, and limitations on those axes of motion. Actuators or linear elastic “springs” are use to alter the torque/angular deflection response curve of these joints, so that the rollover profile of the human foot can be duplicated by this invention. | 04-21-2011 |

20090287314 | JOINTS FOR PROSTHETIC, ORTHOTIC AND/OR ROBOTIC DEVICES - An artificial foot device may include a core, a talus body operatively coupled with the core by a first joint, and a toe operatively coupled with the core by a second joint. The first joint may provides for constrained relative movement between the talus body and the core. The second joint may provide for constrained relative movement between the core and the toe. In some embodiments, the core may include a core assembly including a core body, an Achilles sheave coupled with the core body and a toe bracket coupled with the core body. The toe bracket may be operatively coupled with the toe, and the Achilles sheave may be operatively coupled with the talus body. Constrained relative movement between the talus body and the core may substantially correspond to a coordinated movement of a first natural joint and a second natural joint during ambulation of a natural human foot. | 11-19-2009 |
20110015762 | JOINTS FOR PROSTHETIC, ORTHOTIC AND/OR ROBOTIC DEVICES - An artificial foot device may include a talus body, a core operatively coupled with the talus body by a first joint, and a toe operatively coupled with the core by a second joint. The first joint may provide for constrained relative movement between the talus body and the core. The second joint may provide for constrained relative movement between the core and the toe. Constrained relative movement between the talus body and the core may substantially correspond to a coordinated movement of a first natural joint and a second natural joint during ambulation of a natural human foot. | 01-20-2011 |
20110208322 | Joints for Prosthetic, Orthotic and/or Robotic Devices - An artificial foot device may include a talus body, a core operatively coupled with the talus body by a first joint, and a toe operatively coupled with the core by a second joint. A vertical restraint link between the toe and the core and provides a coupling for the second joint. A toe insert limits motion of the toe relative to the core. A toe bushing receives a tension member for operatively coupling the toe to the talus body. The vertical restraint link, toe insert and bushing constrains relative movement between the core and the toe at the second joint. Relative movement of the core and the talus body at the first joint is guided and constrained by pivot bearings. Constrained relative movement between the talus body and the core corresponds to a coordinated movement of a first joint and a second joint during ambulation of a natural human foot. | 08-25-2011 |

20100003390 | METHOD FOR ADDING FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS TO HYDROCOLLOID BASES THAT REQUIRE COOKING - Functional components are often cooked with hydrocolloid bases to create a more palatable and nutritional product. Mixing the functional components and hydrocolloid base together and cooking the mixture often results in damage to the functional components. The damage caused to the functional components result in a reduction in the potency of the functional components or may otherwise adversely affect the functional components. Conversely, adding the functional components to the hydrocolloid base after the base has been cooked and cooled minimizes the damage caused to the functional components. | 01-07-2010 |

In some examples, a first water activity of die shell portion and a second water activity of die center portion are similar. In some examples, the inner functional component includes a dietary supplement or drug. In still further examples, the inner portion has a volume ranging between 0.25 ml and 1.25 ml, the outer portion houses the inner portion and protects the inner functional component from exposure to oxygen and moisture, and a first density of the outer portion and a second density of the inner portion are substantially different. | 10-31-2013 |
20130316053 | METHODS OF MAKING CENTER-IN-SHELL CHEWABLE COMPOSITIONS WITH FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS - Methods of making a center-in-shell chewable composition including forming an inner portion slurry by mixing together water and an inner functional component, forming an outer portion slurry by mixing together a hydrocolloid base and an outer functional component, and cooking the mixture of the hydrocolloid base and the outer functional component molding the inner portion slurry and the outer portion slurry to form a molded slurry by placing the outer portion slurry in a mold, and placing the inner portion slurry inside the outer portion slurry in the mold, and conditioning the molded slurry to form a center-in-shell chewable composition. In some examples, the methods include concurrently depositing the inner and outer portion slurries. In some examples, the methods include forming an inner portion slurry with a water activity similar to the outer portion slurry. | 11-28-2013 |

20150242750 | Asymmetric Rankers for Vector-Based Recommendation - An asymmetric system for obtaining recommendations is disclosed. A reference magnitude may be obtained from a seed and/or a user model. The reference magnitude may be utilized to adjust the magnitude of candidate vectors that represent one or more items in a multi-dimensional vector space. This permits an item to receive credit for a popularity up to a certain point. The dot products between the adjusted candidate vectors and the seed vector may be obtained and, in some configurations, ranked. The highest dot products may correspond to items that are preferred to be recommended according to an implementation. | 08-27-2015 |
