Abstract: A system for adjusting physical properties of a ski or snowboard, through use of one or more specially shaped components applied upon or embedded within the ski or snowboard, wherein the components may be comprised of a thermally responsive material that includes nitinol, and wherein the nitinol components may themselves be treated using a specific method in order to achieve desired transformation results that adjust stiffness, rocker, and in some cases camber angle of a ski.

Abstract: The apparatus, systems and methods disclosed herein generally relate to the surgical repair or alteration of bone. More particularly, certain of the disclosed apparatus, systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to the use of a directionally-reinforced composite material to emulate anisotropic structural characteristics of an original anatomic trabecular structure. The directionally-reinforced composite material may generally include a scaffold set in a composite matrix, wherein the scaffold determines the anisotropic structural characteristics of the materials. In some of the embodiments, a scaffold may include at least a first plurality of struts which are generally aligned in a first direction and a second plurality of struts aligned in a second direction.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating a stiffened joint in a subject that comprise administering relaxin, e.g., a PEGylated relaxin-2, to the subject. The relaxin may be administered intra-articularly as a sustained release formulation. The present invention also provides sustained release formulations in the form of a hydrogel for administering polypeptides that are covalently attached to a polymer, e.g., PEG.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of diseases and disorders. In some embodiments the compositions and methods involve administration of a microparticle, or composition thereof that includes an antifibrotic.

Abstract: The present invention provides formulations for the treatment of fibrotic diseases and disorders. In some embodiments, the formulation comprises a microparticle that includes an antifibrotic.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus to insert and remove a thermally activated vaginal pessary, by employing a nitinol core material that is integrated into the construction of the thermally activated vaginal pessary and configured to increase in radial size upon contact with body temperature by undergoing a configurational phase change in the underlying nitinol core material.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for an athlete to variably control the flexibility and stiffness parameters of a piece of athletic equipment to select a desired performance characteristic of the equipment based on the stiffness parameter. According to certain embodiments discussed herein, an item of sporting equipment may be embedded, impregnated, lined, or encased using nitinol components, wherein the nitinol components may themselves be treated using a specific method in order to achieve the desired transformation results, as described below.

The proposed invention discloses example embodiments that comprise a server-system, a client device in communication with the server-system, and an auxiliary device coupled to the client device.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment of diseases and disorders. In some embodiments the compositions and methods involve administration of a microparticle, or composition thereof that includes an antifibrotic.

Abstract: Example embodiments involve modular paging device to pass incoming messages off, through Wi-Fi or cellular data, to a central server. This central server handles a response request, and sends the message to a corresponding pager address found within a pager network, allowing a closed loop two-way communication handled through a graphical user interface which may be displayed at the client device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new on-body dual antiphase antenna design and a plurality of its modifications to better transmit a radio frequency signal into human or animal body, or receive a radio frequency signal from human or animal body. The antiphase transmission and/or reception is achieved by connecting each individual patch antenna to a 180 degrees microwave power splitter or to a 180 degrees microwave power combiner.

Abstract: A system is configured to perform operations that include: distributing a message via a first communication channel to at least a recipient from a client device, the message comprising message attributes that include message content; determining a status of the message in response to the distribution of the message via the first communication protocol; detecting a trigger event based on the status of the message; and distributing the message content of the message via a second communication channel to the recipient in response to the trigger event.

Abstract: A system is configured to perform operations that include: accessing a user profile associated with a user account; identifying a set of user roles based on the one or more user attributes and a contextual criteria; causing display of a presentation of the set of user roles within a graphical user interface; receiving a selection of a user role from among the presentation of the set of user roles from the client device; and assigning the notification criteria associated with the user role to the user account for the duration indicated by the selection.

Abstract: A system is configured to perform operations that include: receiving a search request from a client device, the search request including a search criteria; determining a user context of a user of the client device in response to receiving the search request; generating a set of search results based on the search criteria and the user context; and causing display of a presentation of the set of search results.
