US Patent:

8615504, Dec 24, 2013

Filed:

Dec 14, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/326126

Inventors:

Matthew B. Urmy - Nashville TN, US
Jonathan A. Sexton - Knoxville TN, US
John A. Curtis - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Artist Growth, LLC - Nashville TN

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707706, 707708

Abstract:

An action alignment system for event planning and execution searches out web sites relating to event planning and, based on web site content, constructs a database of various tasks that might be desired for different events (tasks can also be manually added to the database). The tasks have associated tags which allow a task search engine to match a user query representing a proposed event to potential tasks. This list of potential tasks is presented to the user who may then select the tasks as desired to customize the event plan. Vendors can provide pre-packaged deals for the tasks, and this information can be included with the task database, selected by the user, and added to the event plan. A scheduler and alert engine then inserts appropriate entries into the user's calendar, and sends timely alerts to the user which include links that simplify event management.

Appl. No.:

8/293075

Inventors:

John L. Curtis - Manhattan KS

International Classification:

A61M 100

US Classification:

604319

Abstract:

An improved embryo collection device (10) is provided which minimizes the possibility of embryo damage or loss while facilitating rapid collection, isolation and extraction of embryos from an embryo-containing irrigant fluid. The device (10) includes a vessel (12) including an outlet port (22) for conveying filtered irrigant fluid out of vessel (12), a filter insert (14) positioned within vessel (12) for filtering embryos out of the irrigant fluid, and a lid (16) removably connected to the filter insert (14) including an inlet port (50) for delivering embryo-containing irrigant fluid to the vessel (12). The vessel (12) is formed of light-transmitting translucent or transparent material, and the filter insert (14) preferably includes isolation cells (42) so that the collection device (10) can be directly placed within a microscope for rapid examination and extraction of collected embryos (91). The outlet port (22) is spaced a distance above the base (18) and filter (26) to allow retention of a minimum level of fluid within the device (10) to prevent embryos from drying out during collection and examination. The inlet port (50) is oriented for directing incoming irrigant fluid to the filter insert (14) at a fluid level at least slightly below the minimum fluid level in vessel (12).

Abstract:

Methods and formulations for a simplified, single-injection method to induce and control the synchronous growth (superstimulation), and ovulation (superovulation) of multiple ovarian follicles in bovine, ovine, caprine, camelid and other female animals enabling the subsequent collection of (a) multiple oocytes when conducting in-vitro fertilization, or (b) multiple embryos when conducting multiple ovulation embryo transfer.
