20160044897 | INTERACTIVE TRACKING, MONITORING, AND REPORTING PLATFORM FOR DOMESTICATED ANIMALS - An interactive tracking, monitoring, and reporting platform of domesticated animal activity may be provided. The platform may enable the tracking of domesticated animals within an interactive tracking zone. The tracking activity may be controlled by a rule set defined by the owner and enabled by a tracking device embodied as, for example, a collar worn by the animal. Upon the tracking device's proximal location to detection devices within the interactive tracking zone, an action may be triggered. The trigger may cause an action to be taken by, for example, a device located within the interactive tracking zone. The trigger may cause information to be collected on the domesticated animal's activity by the platform. The platform may then provide a report on the domesticated animal's activity to the domesticated animal's owner. The report may be communicated via a mobile phone application and may comprise real-time data collected on the domesticated animal. | 02-18-2016 |

20130052903 | PLASMA BULB SEALING WITHOUT A HYDROGEN FLAME - An electrodeless plasma lamp and method of forming a seal on an electrodeless bulb for use in the plasma lamp are described. The method may include providing a section of tube, cutting the tube to length, and sealing a first point on one end of the tube in a rounded fashion to form a first end of the electrodeless bulb. The cross-sectional diameter of an opposite end of the tube is reduced to form a tail on the electrodeless bulb. The tail is open to an interior portion of the bulb where the interior portion forms a cavity. One or more fill gases are injected into the cavity of the bulb. A first portion along the tail of the bulb is sealed thereby forming a truncated tail. A second point on the tail, intermediate between a terminal portion of the tail and a portion of the bulb containing the cavity, is sealed. The second point is sealed with a plasma torch by using an inert-gas element with a minimum of hydrogen gas. | 02-28-2013 |

20100311917 | METHODS FOR MAKING MULTI-BRANCHED POLYMERS - A method for making a multi-branched polymer includes reacting a first polymeric unit with a functional cyclic compound to form a functional macroinitiator compound with a cyclic moiety. The functional macroinitiator compound is reacted with an amine functional compound to open the cyclic moiety and form a first functional group and a second functional group. To form the branched polymer, at least one of a second polymeric unit is propagated from the first functional group and a third polymeric unit is propagated from the second functional group. | 12-09-2010 |

20140350077 | Amphipathic Co-Oligomers for the Delivery of SIRNA - Co-oligomer compounds, complexes of the same with polyanions, such as siRNAs, and methods for using the same are provided. the delivery of polynucleotides, into a cell. The subject co-oligomers include at least a liphopilic monomer and at least a hydrophilic monomer (e.g., a guanidinium containing monomer). In some embodiments, the co-oligomer compounds are capable of complexing a siRNA of interest, thereby increasing the cell permeability of the siRNA, prior to release of the siRNA into the cell. In some embodiments, the subject method is a method of delivery a siRNA into a cell. In some embodiments, the subject method is a method of reducing expression of a protein target of a siRNA of interest. The subject co-oligomer/siRNA complexes may be formulated and administered to a subject to treat a condition resulting from expression of a protein target of the siRNA of interest. | 11-27-2014 |
