Title: External pressure-based gastric band adjustment system and method
Inventor: HASSLER WILLIAM L JR
IPC: G08C17/02
Filed: 2007-03-06
Abstract: An external pressure sensing system may include an attachment for a syringe.  The attachment may comprise a connector positioned between the barrel and the needle of the syringe. A pressure sensor may be in fluid communication with the connector, such that the pressure sensor may sense the pressure of fluid within the connector as the syringe is used to add fluid to or withdraw fluid from an injection port. Where an injection port is a component of an adjustable fluid-based gastric band system, pressure data obtained with the pressure sensor may be indicative of the pressure of fluid within the gastric band. The pressure sensor may communicate pressure data to a display device. A user may adjust the pressure of fluid within the gastric band using the syringe while viewing the display device for pressure-related readings.

Title: Method and system for tracking derivatives positions and monitoring credit limits
Inventor: HARRINGTON GEORGE
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-12-12
Abstract: A derivatives position tracking system that consists of a centralized trading engine with a trade history database capable of communication with a plurality of counterpart computers via a network to enable the execution of a derivatives transaction. The trading engine and counterpart computers enable the counterpart computers to initiate, unwind and assign requests. Upon execution of a tear-up or assigmnent, a record of such transaction is stored in the trade history database. Whether or not the tear-up or assignment is executed with the original counterpart, the original counterpart receives a notification of the tear-up/assigmnent and a new position with the counterpart is reflected in the position-tracking database. Additionally, a credit monitoring module can be used in connection with the derivatives position tracking system to enable the trading engine to alert counterparts when a derivatives transaction exceeds a pre-defined credit limit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the recombinant method used for the production of a highly glycosylated form (in total five N linked glycosylations as opposed to three N linked glyosylations in the natural EPO) of erythropoietin. The added sites for glycosylation will result in greater number of carbohydrate chains, and higher sialic acid content than human EPO, which in turn would impart to the recombinant molecule a longer half-life. The invention further relates to the construction of expression cassettes comprising nucleic acid sequences encoding for the highly glycosylated form of Erythropoietin and stable expression in the host cells. The invention further relates to the optimized method for purification of the erythropoiesis stimulating protein. The recombinant EPO according to the invention, and the salts and functional derivatives thereof, may comprise the active ingredient of pharmaceutical compositions for an increase in the hematocrit for treatment of anemia and for restoration of patient well being and quality of life.
