20100285113 | ENHANCED STABILITY OF INVERSE THERMAL GELLING COMPOSITE HYDROGELS - The present invention relates to a composite hydrogel comprising a blend of an aqueous solution of an anionic polysaccharide or a derivative thereof, such as hyaluronan (also commonly referred to as hyaluronic acid) or a derivative thereof and an aqueous solution of methylcellulose or another water soluble cellulose derivative thereof, having dispersed polymeric particles, such as polymeric hydrophobic particles therein selected from micro particles and nanoparticles, and wherein the stability of the hydrogel is enhanced relative to the stability of the hydrogel alone. The polymeric particles may contain at least one therapeutic agent, in which case each therapeutic agent exhibits a linear sustained release rate that can be tuned or altered by selecting the appropriate polymer formulation of the micro particles and/or nanoparticles. The composite may be injectable, and in the absence of a therapeutic agent may be used as a bulking agent for reconstructive and cosmetic surgery or may act as a platform for subsequent delivery of therapeutic agents. | 11-11-2010 |

20110313875 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ORGANIZING SECURED PURCHASING GROUPS FOR BUYERS OF SIMILAR INTERESTS - This is a system and method of organizing secured purchasing groups (SPGs) to reduce costs and risks for both buyers and sellers by forming binding purchase offers and by selling in volume. The method includes authoring a first buyer to establish an SPG with the buyer's own terms of purchase. Other buyers join the established SPG if they agree to the terms of the SPG. As the established SPG interests more and more buyers and enlists the buyers to become a member, it attracts potential sellers to sell to the buyers of the SPG. A binding purchase contract is established when a seller makes a commitment to sell to a buyer of the SPG. A deposit is required from both the buyer and the seller to deter fraud and to reduce risks. A secret code system helps further reduce fraud and disputes. A user rating system further encourages good community behavior. The results of the rating system are used throughout the system. | 12-22-2011 |

20120277063 | Apparatus and Method of Controlling Lower-Limb Joint Moments through Real-Time Feedback Training - A real-time estimation of 3D moments of lower-limb joints using a robotic multi-axis training system with a 6-axis force/torque (F/T) sensors and a 6-DOF goniometer is described. A joint moment such as the knee abduction moment (KAM) can be determined in real-time without using sophisticated optoelectronic motion tracking system. The system also does not require computation of the COP location. The knee adduction moment or any other lower-limb 3D joint moments can be determined conveniently during stepping movement on the training system for real-time biofeedback training on controlling the targeted joint moment(s). The 6-DOF goniometer is convenient to use with other analog signals including the 6-axis F/T and locomotion variables. As an example application, combined with the frontal plane movement on the robotic multi-axis elliptical trainer, it provides a useful tool suitable for clinical setting to help patients with knee OA to reduce potentially damaging peak knee adduction moment through real-time feedback training. | 11-01-2012 |
