Patent number: 7067557Abstract: The administration of antiestrogens to men suffering a relative androgen deficiency stimulates the body's production of testosterone leading to a correction of the deficiency. For example, male menopause, loss of cognitive function, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity, excessive weight, Alzheimer's disease, and combinations thereof, can all be characterized by significant decreases in serum levels of bioavailable androgens. Administration of antiestrogens to men restores optimum serum levels of bioavailable androgens, and, thus, serves as a treatment for these disorders and relative androgen deficiency in general.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2002Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Inventor: Harry Fisch

Patent number: 6503576Abstract: A high velocity oxygen fuel thermal spray powder comprising a superalloy having the formula MCrAlY—X, wherein M is at least one metal taken from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, and iron; X is at least one reactive element taken from the group consisting of hafnium, rhenium, lanthanum, and tantalum; and yttrium is present in levels greater than 1% by weight of the total composition and up to about 6% by weight of the total composition. In addition, the powder may be blended with an agglomeration of M′CrAlY and a ceramic, wherein M′ is at least one metal taken from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, and iron. The invention offers improved high temperature oxidation, corrosion and creep resistance.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2001Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Sulzer Metco (US) Inc.Inventors: Lysa Russo, Mitchell R. Dorfman, Kerry LaPierre

Patent number: 6411940Abstract: An Internet billing method comprises establishing an agreement between an Internet access provider and a customer, and an agreement between the Internet access provider and a vendor, wherein the Internet access provider agrees with the customer and the vendor to bill the customer and remit to the vendor for products and services purchased over the Internet by the customer from the vendor. The provider creates access to the Internet for the customer. When the customer orders a product or service over the Internet from a vendor, transactional information transmitted between the customer and the vendor is also transmitted to the provider. The provider then bills the transaction amount to the customer and remits a portion of the transaction amount to the vendor, keeping the differential as a fee for providing the service. As a result of this method, there is no need for any customer account numbers or vendor account numbers to be transmitted over the Internet, thereby maintaining the security of that information.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2000Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Netcraft CorporationInventor: Andrew Egendorf

Patent number: 6385352Abstract: A system and method for reading a two-dimensional image, and for comparing the two-dimensional image to stored data representative of a known image. The optical scanning device comprises a sensor for capturing the two-dimensional image, which sensor includes an LED array for projecting an emitted light towards the two-dimensional image. The sensor also includes a lens disposed forward of the LED array for focussing the emitted light and thereby framing the two-dimensional image. The sensor further includes an optical assembly for focussing an ambient light reflected from the framed two-dimensional image. And the sensor includes a CMOS (or CCD) detector for detecting the focussed ambient light, the CMOS detector including a photodiode array for sensing the focussed ambient light and a processor for processing the ambient light to obtain an electrical image signal. The optical scanning device also compresses the electrical image signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1994Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Symbol Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Alexander Roustaei

Patent number: 6347229Abstract: A method for tracking the location of mobile units, comprises providing a plurality of mobile units each having a wireless transmitter and a unique address and at least one stationary base unit having a phase array antenna with antenna elements. A signal including an address is received from at least one mobile unit by the at least base unit via the phase array antenna. The phase difference of the signal arriving at the antenna elements from each mobile unit is measured and the coordinates of the location of each mobile unit are calculated as a function of the phase differences.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1999Date of Patent: February 12, 2002Assignees: Intech 21, Inc., Secure Care Products, Inc.Inventors: Helena Zelmanovich, Victor Zelmanovich, George Bilenko
