Title: A non-invasive device for lowering intraocular pressure
Inventor: KAHOOK MALIK Y
IPC: A61M27/00
Filed: 2009-05-29
Abstract: The present invention provides devices and methods for non-invasively lowering intraocular pressure. In particular, some non-invasive intraocular pressure lowering devices of the invention comprise an oscillating element having a proximal end and a terminal probe. Typically, the terminal probe of said oscillating element comprises a substantially non-abrasive material that is adapted to be in contact with an ocular surface without causing any significant damage to the tissue and is shaped to conform to ocular surface at the limbal region. Devices also include an oscillating mechanism that is operatively connected to the proximal end of said oscillating tip such that when oscillating mechanism is in operation said oscillating tip moves axially without damaging ocular cells. Intraocular pressure lowering devices of the present invention are capable of non-invasively transmitting mechanical force to the tissue proximate to the limbal tissue.

Abstract: The present invention is be directed to systems and methods that efficiently reduce cluttered data and identify useful information, in real-time. The disclosed auto-adaptive system distinguishes target data in data sets from clutter data that causes low target hit rates and high false alarm rates. Data set features may then be modified to account for changes over time, resulting in auto-adaptive alarm thresholds, higher target hits rates, and lower false alarm rates. In addition, data may be reduced to snippets containing target information, while excluding large amounts of clutter data.  Thereby, real-time data can be more readily understood and transmitted data can be reduced.

Title: Insulinotropic peptide synthesis using solid and solution phase combination techniques
Inventor: CHEN LIN
IPC: C07K14/605
Filed: 2010-04-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of insulino tropic peptides including the amino acid sequence of (SEQ ID NO. 9) Z-HX8EGTFTSDVSSYLEGQAAKEFIAWLVKX35R-NH2 wherein Z is H-, and X8 and X35 are each independently achiral, optionally sterically hindered amino acid residues, by using a solid and solution phase ("hybrid") approach. Generally, the approach includes synthesizing three different peptide intermediate fragments using solid phase chemistry. Solution phase chemistry is then used to couple the second fragment and the first fragment.  Alternatively, a different second fragment is coupled to a first fragment in the solid phase. Then, solution phase chemistry is used to add the third fragment, whereby the third fragment is coupled to the coupled first and second fragments in the solution phase.
