20120226291 | Surgical Ligation Clip and Applicator Device - A surgical tissue ligation clip and an applicator device for delivery of multiple ligation clips is provided. The surgical ligation clips have first and second leg members joined by a resilient hinge at one end and a deflectable hook member and a locking element on the opposite end. The surgical tissue ligation clip has a proximal tissue shield that prevents tissue from being pinched at the hinge, and/or a distal tissue shield that prevents tissue from being pinched between the hook member and locking element and interfering with securely closing the ligation clip for implantation. A minimally invasive applicator for the surgical ligation clip is provided for delivering individually arranged ligation clips in line, incising target tissue and delivering a plurality of surgical ligation clips at the tissue site. | 09-06-2012 |

20100106661 | ECONOMIC MODEL FOR MEASURING THE COST AND VALUE OF A PARTICULAR HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN - The present invention provides a system and method for measuring the relative economic benefits from services offered by health care plans. The present invention quantifies value of health care quality by indicating an economic return on the investment in health care quality, enabling organizations and businesses to view health care quality in a familiar paradigm that extends health plan differentiation beyond premium and benefits. Businesses may employ the present invention to compare different health care plans or classes of plans, such as accredited versus non-accredited plans. Specifically, a particular plan or class of plans may provide improved monitoring, treatment and control of various medical conditions, and the present invention quantifies the economic benefits to employers from the improved health care for employees. In one embodiment, the present invention looks to a set of specific medical conditions and is based on three key steps. First, the present invention identifies the overall level of employees at the organization affected by these conditions. Second, the present invention uses the reduction in absenteeism and low productivity days made possible by improved monitoring and control of the medical conditions. Third, the present invention calculates a monetary valuation to the firm of the reduction in absenteeism and low productivity days based on the firm's average revenue per employee, average daily wage, and other parameters. | 04-29-2010 |

20140356913 | Enzymes Manufactured in Transgenic Soybean for Plant Biomass Engineering and Organopollutant Bioremediation - A strategy for eliminating or greatly reducing the need for physical/chemical treatments or the use of whole microbes for lignocellulosic biomass and organopollutant degradation is disclosed. The soybean is a practical, cost-efficient and sustainable bioreactor for the production of lignin-degrading and cellulose-degrading enzymes. The use of soybean as a transgenic overexpression platform provides advantages that no other industrial scale enzyme expression system can match. Availability of a battery of related plant biomass degrading enzymes in separate transgenic soybean lines provides unprecedented flexibility in industrial and bioremediation processes. Depending upon the particular application, selected soybean-derived powdered enzyme formulations can be used, and their sequential addition can be orchestrated. Manufacturing enzymes using transgenic soybeans wherein these enzymes are capable of lignocellulose and organopollutant degradation into useful or nontoxic products will dramatically change biomass engineering schemes and environmental remediation practices. This technology has a sum of advantages that other protein expression system cannot duplicate, including the manufacturing of individual enzymes in a cost-effective manner that allows flexibility in cocktail composition, ease of application, and long term storage in the absence of a cold chain. | 12-04-2014 |

20160042490 | ACCELERATED FRAME RATE ADVERTISING-PRIORITIZED VIDEO FRAME ALIGNMENT - In response to detection of a selection of an accelerated frame rate operation associated with a video advertisement, a quantity of individual prioritized video frames of the video advertisement to render based upon a selected accelerated frame rate is determined. Accelerated frame rate rendering priority values assigned to the individual prioritized video frames of the video advertisement are identified. Based upon differences among the identified accelerated frame rate rendering priority values assigned to the individual prioritized video frames, a prioritized video frame subset of the individual prioritized video frames is determined. The prioritized video frame subset of the individual prioritized video frames is equal in number to the determined quantity of individual prioritized video frames of the video advertisement and is determined to yield a maximized cumulative set of the identified accelerated frame rate rendering priority values. | 02-11-2016 |
