Publication number: 20210154208Abstract: Described are methods of inhibiting one or more pharmaceutical agent from binding to a plasma protein so it binds to its target. Specifically, a plasma protein binding agent is administered prior to, concurrently with, or after the administration of one or more pharmaceutical agents that binds to a plasma protein in vivo. The methods of the present invention allow pharmaceutical agents that bind to plasma binding proteins to treat disease cells in vivo.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2020Publication date: May 27, 2021Inventors: David Joseph Young, Donald Small, Jun O. Liu

Patent number: 10885754Abstract: Integrating a direct current (DC) voltage motion sensing alarm with an alternating current (AC) voltage light source is presented herein. A wall switch box can comprise a voltage conversion component that generates a DC voltage from an AC voltage that is higher in magnitude than the DC voltage, a motion sensing component detects a motion of an object using the DC voltage, and a security component that generates, based on the motion using the DC voltage, an alarm signal that has been encoded according to an encryption strength of a communication protocol corresponding to a transmission of the alarm signal from the wall switch box. In one aspect, a communication expansion component can wirelessly transmit, using the DC voltage based on control information specifying the communication protocol, the alarm signal according to the encryption strength. In another aspect, the encryption strength can correspond to at least 2128 combinations.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: OWL ENTERPRISES, LLCInventors: Michael O'Brien, Rocco Terry, Donald Small

Patent number: 10460580Abstract: Integrating a direct current (DC) voltage motion sensing alarm with an alternating current (AC) voltage light source is presented herein. An apparatus can include a voltage conversion component that generates, within a wall switch box, a DC voltage from an AC voltage that is higher in magnitude than the DC voltage, and a motion sensing component that detects, from the wall switch box using the DC voltage, a motion of an object. The motion sensing component can detect the motion using an infrared and/or ultrasonic based DC sensor. The apparatus can further include a security component that generates, from the wall switch box using the DC voltage, an alarm signal and/or wireless alarm signal based on the motion, and a power component that switches, from the wall switch box using the DC voltage based on the motion, the AC voltage from a first contact to a second contact.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2017Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: OWL ENTERPRISES, LLCInventors: Michael O'Brien, Rocco Terry, Donald Small

Patent number: 5618709Abstract: Oligonucleotides are provided having a nucleotide sequence complementary to at least a portion of the mRNA transcript of the STK-1 gene. These "antisense" oligonucleotides are hybridizable to the STK-1 mRNA transcript. Such oligonucleotides are useful in treating neoplastic diseases characterized by activation of STK-1 gene expression. The oligonucleotides are also useful as bone marrow purging agents in the treatment of leukemia and metastasized neoplasms.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1994Date of Patent: April 8, 1997Assignees: University of Pennsylvania, The Johns Hopkins UniversityInventors: Alan M.
