Daniel E. Cooper - Dallas TX 75204-2385

Assignee:

Daniel E. Cooper - Dallas TX

International Classification:

A61B 1756

US Classification:

606 72, 606 73, 623 1311

Abstract:

Method and apparatus are described for a soft tissue fixation device for being biased between a soft tissue graft and an interference screw in a bone tunnel. The device has a contoured body portion having an inner surface and an outer surface. A plurality of spikes protrude from the outer surface of the body portion, the spikes extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body portion and parallel to each other. The distal ends of the spikes define a flat plane. A pin axially extends from the body portion for receiving a portion of the graft.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707748, 707736, 707E17044

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer program product. A method includes receiving a patient profile, the patient profile including a patient substance profile identifying a plurality of substances consumed by a patient and at least one patient-specific gene variant. The method includes identifying a gene associated with a first one of the plurality of substances, and performing a weighing process to determine an interaction between the first substance and the gene. The method includes producing a summary by the data processing system according to the determined interaction. Another method includes identifying at least one additional substance that has a potential effect on the patient, presenting the at least one additional substance to a user, receiving and storing a change to the patient profile based on the at least one additional substance.

Jacqueline J. Jackson - Denver CO
Daniel Cooper - Parker CO

Assignee:

Hemotec, Inc. - Englewood CO

International Classification:

G01N 3386

US Classification:

422 73

Abstract:

Coagulation is detected in a fluid sample such as blood which has been inserted into a cartridge and operated on by an actuator mechanism. The cartridge may be of either of two types: a plunger sensor cartridge wherein a plunger assembly is reciprocated in a predetermined manner within the fluid sample and the descent of the plunger assembly is sensed to determine coagulation conditions, and a gas flow cartridge wherein gas is passed through the fluid sample to transmit liquid in bubbles and the accumulation of the coagulating liquid from the bubbles is sensed to detect coagulation. An actuator mechanism operates with either one or both types of cartridges to create the conditions under which coagulation can be detected and to sense the coagulation detection conditions. The actuator mechanism reciprocates the plunger assembly and forces gas through the liquid sample to create the bubbles.

International Classification:

A61B 1000

US Classification:

128 205Z

Abstract:

A scan converter storage surface is divided into image spaces corresponding to different points in the heart cycle. Ultrasound echoes from heart structures are plotted in the image spaces by means of special x, y sweeps which are offset to the image spaces by timing circuitry. Separate delay and spacing counters allow the first image to be stored at one interval after detection of the ECG R-wave and successive images to be stored at a another uniform interval. An ECG trace is stored in the first image space with cursors indicating the selected image timing. The scan converter is read out to a TV display. During image build-up, the read and write modes alternate. If desired, the TV sweeps to the scan converter may be attenuated and offset to display a single stored image. Images displayed in sequence provide animation. A self test circuit substitutes a fake ECG and writes bars in the scan converter image spaces using TV sweeps for the scan sweeps.

Appl. No.:

Jacqueline J. Jackson - Denver CO

Assignee:

Hemotec, Inc. - Englewood CO

International Classification:

G01N 3386

US Classification:

422 61

Abstract:

Coagulation is detected in a fluid sample contained in either a gas flow cartridge or a plunger sensor cartridge, either one of which may be inserted in an actuator mechanism which has the capability of acting on either type of cartridge. Coagulation is detected in the gas flow cartridge by optically sensing the accumulation of coagulating liquid in a foam member at the top of the reaction chamber. In the plunger sensor cartridge, a plunger assembly is raised and released to descend through the sample of liquid in the bottom of the reaction chamber. The plunger assembly descends more slowly upon an increase in the viscosity of the fluid sample due to coagulation. Both cartridges include a lower reagent chamber, an upper reaction chamber, and means initially sealing and thereafter communicating the contents from the reagent chamber to the reaction chamber. The actuator mechanism includes means for delivering the flow of gas to the gas flow cartridge and means for reciprocating the plunger assembly in the plunger sensor cartridge.

Assignee:

Hemotec, Inc. - Denver CO

International Classification:

G01N 3386

US Classification:

422 58

Abstract:

A gas flow cartridge in which to conduct analytical coagulation tests on a sample of fluid such as blood includes a tube-like member and a resilient flexible membrane having a slit formed therethrough to divide the tube-like member into an upper reaction chamber in which the test takes place and into a lower reagent chamber which initially contains reagent to be mixed with the sample of liquid upon which the test is to be conducted. The contents of the reagent chamber are forced through the slit in the resilient flexible membrane due to the flexing of the membrane around the slit when pressure is applied. Once the reagent is in the reaction chamber with the sample of fluid, a flow of gas is forced upward through the slit in the membrane during the analytical test.

International Classification:

A61N 1365

US Classification:

607017

Abstract:

A rate responsive pacemaker measures a metabolic demand parameter of a patient. The metabolic demand parameter is converted to a corresponding metabolic indicated rate which determines the pulse rate of the pacer. The converting is based on a profile dependent on the predicted anaerobic threshold level of the patient, as well as his or her age and physical fitness.
