20120150133REDUCED-PRESSURE, WOUND-CLOSURE AND TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A reduced-pressure, wound closure system is presented that generates a closing force on a surface wound and optionally provides reduced pressure to a body cavity or tissue site. The sealed contracting member, when placed under reduced pressure, generates the closing force. One illustrative system includes a first attachment member and a second attachment member, a sealed contracting member coupled to the first attachment member and the second attachment member, and wherein the closing force is generated between the first attachment member and the second attachment member when reduced pressure is supplied to the sealed contracting member. Other systems and methods are presented.06-14-2012

20150032035SCAR REDUCTION APPARATUS - Post-scar formation reduction apparatus comprises a biocompatible scar interface layer, a compressible pressure chamber overlying the scar interface layer, and an at least substantially uniformly compressible pressure element in the pressure chamber which extends over the scar interface layer. The pressure element has a bulk modulus enabling a predetermined uniform or substantially uniform compression of the pressure element in at least a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the scar interface layer on application of a specific pressure. Evacuator is also provided which at least partially evacuates the pressure chamber, whereby the pressure element is uniformly or substantially uniformly compressed in the direction of the scar interface layer and the pressure chamber positively urges the compressed pressure element towards the scar interface layer.01-29-2015

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100057538 METHOD OF, AND SYSTEM FOR, REAL ESTATE INDEX GENERATION - A method and system for generating a real estate property index uses real estate data including price data, property data and time of sale data that are entered into a computing apparatus. The time of sale data is manipulated to provide consecutive triple times giving two consecutive time periods (e.g., March, April, May 2007 and April, May, June 2007). A transform function, preferably a log function, is generated with two time dummy variables, and the coefficients of the two time dummy variables are extracted and added to generate a transformed growth rate. The reverse transform function, preferably an anti-log function, is generated to provide the desired untransformed growth rate.03-04-2010
20130185226METHOD OF, AND SYSTEM FOR, ASSET INDEX GENERATION WITH SELF FINANCING PORTFOLIO ADJUSTMENT - Asset indexes are intended to track changes in the market value of assets. However, some assets such as real estate can change in value for reasons other than that a general change in the market has occurred. For example, a house can have an addition which adds another bedroom or a portion of land can be sub-divided, in which case an increase or decrease respectively in the asset value can occur which is independent of movements in the overall market. A method of generating an asset index under these circumstances is disclosed by effectively removing from the asset portfolio those assets which have had a change in attribute come to notice on the day the asset index is calculated. Such an asset is restored to the portfolio on subsequent days.07-18-2013
20130262284METHOD OF, AND SYSTEM FOR, REAL ESTATE INDEX GENERATION - A method and system for generating a real estate property index uses real estate data including price data, property data and time of sale data that are entered into a computing apparatus. The time of sale data is manipulated to provide consecutive triple times giving two consecutive time periods (e.g., March, April, May 2007 and April, May, June 2007). A transform function, preferably a long function, is generated with two time dummy variables, and the coefficients of the two time dummy variables are extracted and added to generate a transformed growth rate. The reverse transform function, preferably an anti-log function, is generated to provide the desired untransformed growth rate.10-03-2013

20140310199SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HEDGING INDEX EXPOSURES - The present invention discloses an engineering solution to the automation of funding assessing and managing collateral dependent loans and indexed linked products. Equity Finance Mortgages (EFM's) are issued by financial institutions and have a return, either profit or loss, which is determined by the way residential real estate market rise or fall respectively. Financial index products sold by some financial entities are akin to bonds or term deposits and pay a return to investors which is linked to the performance of a house or home price index. Consequently, an EFM issuing institution can hedge its exposures to the residential real estate market by selling such financial index products so that profits or losses on the EFM's are offset by the losses or profits respectively of the index products. Methods of calculating an appropriate matching of the dollar value of the EFM's and index products are disclosed. Also disclosed is a vector or distance technique to determine if new EFM's having various characteristics should be added to the existing portfolio of EFM's10-16-2014

20130239153CONTENT RETRIEVAL FOR DIGITAL MEDIA RECORDER DEVICES - A computer receives broadcast content through a receiver and receives a request from a user to record a segment of broadcast content. The computer determines whether metadata associated with the segment of broadcast content includes a location from which the segment can be retrieved at a subsequent time. Responsive to determining that the metadata includes the location from which the segment can be retrieved, the computer records a first portion of the segment of broadcast content, the computer storing the first portion of the segment of broadcast content in a database. Responsive to a request to play the segment of broadcast content, the computer retrieves the first portion of the segment of broadcast content from the database and plays the first portion of the segment of broadcast content. The computer retrieves a remaining portion of the segment of broadcast content not previously recorded through a network connection.09-12-2013

20140042109Separator - The present invention relates to a separator including one or more separation members upon which residue can accumulate. An agitator is provided for agitating the separation members to remove the residue. The agitator may clean residue from the members without removing the separation members from the separator. Advantageously, the frequency that the members need to be removed from the separator and thoroughly cleaned is reduced when compared with the known separator.02-13-2014
