Patent number: 10993951Abstract: The field of the present invention is that of fosfomycin formulations for parenteral administration, in particular for intravenous administration. Formulations of the prior art provide fosfomycin as a powder to be diluted directly prior to the administration. The aim of the invention is to provide a fosfomycin formulation for parenteral administration which is easier to produce and administer or which lowers the risk of puncture injuries for healthcare professionals and the health risks for the patients (for example due to contamination or incorrect dosages) by preventing additional processing steps. During the course of the invention, it was surprisingly shown that fosfomycin is much more stable in an aqueous solution than what is commonly assumed.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Inventors: Apostolos Georgopoulos, Albert Schifer, Wolfgang Rous

Patent number: 10043129Abstract: A computer-implemented method for performing a functional assessment of a network is disclosed. The network includes a plurality of interacting network elements. The method includes measuring a state of each of the elements at a plurality of time instances, thereby determining a plurality of state values associated with each of the elements, and calculating for each element an associated median value representing a median of the state values associated with that element. The method further includes identifying for each time instance a first total number of elements with an associated state value at that time instance that is above its median value, and a second total number of elements with an associated state value at that time instance that is below its median value, and determining whether the network has departed from an equilibrium state based on the first total number and the second total number for each time instance.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2011Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignees: Regents of the University of Minnesota, Department of Veterans AffairsInventor: Apostolos Georgopoulos

Patent number: 9101276Abstract: A set of brain data representing a time series of neurophysiologic activity acquired by spatially distributed sensors arranged to detect neural signaling of a brain (such as by the use of magnetoencephalography) is obtained. The set of brain data is processed to obtain a dynamic brain model based on a set of statistically-independent temporal measures, such as partial cross correlations, among groupings of different time series within the set of brain data. The dynamic brain model represents interactions between neural populations of the brain occurring close in time, such as with zero lag, for example. The dynamic brain model can be analyzed to obtain the neurophysiologic assessment of the brain. Data processing techniques may be used to assess structural or neurochemical brain pathologies.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2007Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTAInventor: Apostolos Georgopoulos

Patent number: 8725668Abstract: A method of classifying an item to one of a plurality of groups includes providing a plurality of predictors associated with the item. For each predictor, the item is assigned to one of the groups. An assignment number is determined for each group. The item is classified to one of the groups based on the assignment number for each group.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignees: Regents of the University of Minnesota, U.S. Department of Veterans AffairsInventor: Apostolos Georgopoulos
