Patent number: 9770349Abstract: The present invention relates generally to medical devices containing nanoporous surfaces and methods for making same. More specifically, the invention relates to implantable vascular stents or other biomedical devices having at least one dealloyed nanoporous layer that promotes improved cellular adhesion properties that promote healing and long term biocompatibility. In the case of stents, the nanoporous layer promotes re-endothelialization at sites of stent implantation vasculature, improves overall healing, and reduces inflammation and intimal disease progression. The nanoporous layer may be optionally loaded with one or more therapeutic agent to further improve the function of the implanted stent and further augment clinical efficacy.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2007Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: University of Virginia Patent FoundationInventors: Gary Owens, Whye-Kei Lye, Michael Reed, Joshua Spradlin, Brian Wamhoff, Matthew Hudson, Kareen Looi

Patent number: 9071957Abstract: The provision of emergency response services to a user can be based on transitioning a communications device associated with a user to a listening mode, setting a first timer, recording user actions with the communications device, ascertaining, based on a status of the first timer and the user actions, whether a criteria with respect to at least user interaction is met, and, if the criteria is met, transitioning the communications device to an emergency communications mode, else resetting the timer and repeating the recording and the ascertaining until the criteria is met. The emergency communication mode consists of forwarding user and live location information to a remote server and receiving emergency contact information, selected based on the user and live location information, for establishing a communication with emergency response personnel.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2013Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: STADSON TECHNOLOGYInventors: Andrew Stadtlander, Matthew Hudson

Patent number: 8529013Abstract: A method compensates for changes in drop mass of drops ejected by ink jets in a printhead of an ink jet imaging device. The method includes identifying an average of differences between drop placement position for ink drops on an image receiving member and default ink drop positions. The average of the differences is used to adjust a parameter of one or more ink jet driving signals in response to the average of the differences being greater than a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2011Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Russell J.

Publication number: 20130198912Abstract: Provided herein are isolated nucleic acid molecules representing a genetically defined region of the genome of the aphid resistant soybean plant (Glycine max) cultivar Dowling that confers resistance to soybean aphid (Aphis glycines). Within the region is a gene encoding the aphid resistance protein Rag1. Rag1 aphid resistance amino acid sequences are also provided. Also provided herein are methods for conferring aphid resistance on a plant or enhancing aphid resistance in a plant by transforming it to contain and express such nucleic acid sequences encoding Rag1 aphid resistance or introgressing DNA encoding the trait into the plant by plant breeding. Further provided are polymorphic markers useful for identifying plant germplasm containing aphid resistance, and methods for makings such markers.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2011Publication date: August 1, 2013Inventors: Matthew Hudson, Brian Diers, Ki-Seung Kim, Jianping Wang
