Patent number: 11982675Abstract: ABC multidrug transporters are key players in cancer multidrug resistance and in general xenobiotic elimination, thus their functional assays provide important tools for research and diagnostic applications. It has been found that in cells expressing functional ABCG2, ABCB1, or ABCC1 transporters, cellular PG fluorescence is strongly reduced. The invention relates to methods and uses of fluorescein derivative ester compounds of formula Ia which are analogs of PG for assessing ABC transporter activity of ABC multidrug transporters. The present accumulation assay is a novel tool for the parallel determination of the function of the multidrug transporters, in particular ABCG2, ABCB1, and ABCC1. The assay is applicable for diagnostic purposes and also allows the selection, separation and culturing of selected cell populations expressing such transporters.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignees: CELLPHARMA KFT., TERMÉSZETTUDOMÁNYI KUTATÓKÖZPONTInventors: Edit Szabó, Dóra Kovács-Türk, Ágnes Telbisz, Nóra Kucsma, Tamás Horváth, Gergely Szakács, László Homolya, Balázs Sarkadi, Várady György

Patent number: 11957628Abstract: A clamping device configured to secure a strap to a rail of a support table or operating table is provided, which prevents the patient from slipping, provides optimal patient stability when the table is placed in angle positions, and eliminates patient re-positioning during surgical procedure. The clamping device includes a body portion having a plurality of rail arms that form a rail channel, the clamping device including a pivot jaw assembly with jaw rail flange portions coupled to sides of the body portion. The pivot jaw is hingedly operated between an open and closed position. The rail arms further include a strap channel configured to hold a strap disposed around the side rail, and to secure the strap to the rail using a clamp bar via force exerted on rail and jaw flange portions of the clamp assembly, to effectively clamp the strap to the table.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: INNOVATIVE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Tamas Kovacs

Publication number: 20240117835Abstract: A retention apparatus, system and method is useful for attaching items, panels or other devices to a rail formed in longitudinal lengths and configured with a cross-sectional profile having multiple cooperating structures between the rail and a channel nut. Self-aligning, mating structures include a recess formed between a tooth and shelf on an interior first channel portion of the rail and a flange of the channel nut with concurrent mating of an anchor latch of the rail and a hook flange on the channel nut. Latching of the channel nut is accomplished initially by compression of the biasing element as the channel nut is inserted and then, upon release, biasing element-induced movement of the channel nut into a latching position. Grounding spikes on the biasing element form electrical contact points between the rail, the clamp and the frame of the solar panel or other device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: PMC Industries, Inc.Inventors: Tamas KOVACS, Robert MERCIER

Publication number: 20230396104Abstract: Designs for a magnetic mounting system that facilitate wireless charging. The magnetic mounting system generally includes an attachment member engaged with a device that interfaces magnetically with a carrier member. The attachment member may comprise a split ring or discontinuous ring comprising arcuate members that allows inductive coupling between a charge transmitting coil and a charge receiving coil to be achieved as the arcuate members do not interfere with the inductive coupling. Specifically, rather than a solid plate in which the RF energy emitted by the charge transmitting coil generates eddy currents in the plate, the arcuate members are substantially transparent to the RF energy such that inductive coupling may be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Tamás KOVACS, Anthony VELASQUEZ

Publication number: 20230380826Abstract: The present invention relates to a carriage assembly and, more particularly, to a carriage apparatus, system, and method for coupling to a base plate and slidably holding a patient positioner, such as a distractor, at one or more angles with respect to an operating table. The carriage assembly may comprise a base, a jaw, and a fastener, which, when tightened, urges the jaw and base to clamp the rail of a baseplate, the baseplate being coupled to a side rail clamp via pins. Tapered openings in the carriage base may hold the patient positioner either vertically or at an angle with respect to the vertical. A secondary carriage may hold a boot configured to hold a foot. The carriages may be linearly translated to position the knee at a precise angles and provide enhanced structural stability.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: INNOVATIVE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Tamas KOVACS

Publication number: 20230346254Abstract: A device and method for monitoring respiration of a patient is disclosed. The device includes a sensor unit provided with two V-shaped flex sensors and a measuring unit coupled to the sensor unit. The flex sensors can be resistive or capacitive. In use the measuring unit is attached to the chest of the patient and the sensor unit is attached to the abdominal wall of the patient. Relative displacement of the patient's chest and the abdominal wall are detected during respiration and patient's respiration rate is determined from the detected relative displacements of the chest and the abdominal wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2021Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: BABYMO SZOLGALTATO KFT.Inventors: Kata BENDE, Sándor KÓNYA, Balázs BENDE, Lívia BERKECZ-KOVÁCS, Árpád BEZDÁN, Zoltán CSÉPE, Tamás KOVÁCS, Tamás Zoltán LAUTNER, Zsolt TURCSÁNYI

Publication number: 20230338218Abstract: A multi-directional, equalizer clamp device is disclosed, the clamp device being configured to attach and secure objects, such as posts, rails and the like, for a multiplicity of clamping applications that benefit from single-point clamping operation. The clamp device comprises upper and lower body portions which may be configured to clamp to a side rail of a support table, while further configured to receive objects and clamp them along a secondary clamping direction. The clamp device further comprises a control assembly, such as a knob, to facilitate and achieve simultaneous clamping along both primary and secondary clamping directions at a single point of control. A jogging clamp for clamping to variable sized objects in a primary direction comprises a plurality of spherical, indexing recesses disposed in the lower jaw and matching spherical washer disposed on the control assembly configured to allow large, indexed vertical variation in the clamping range.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: INNOVATIVE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Tamas KOVACS
