Patent number: 8791084Abstract: A method of treating a pathophysiological condition caused by the production of growth-inhibiting proteoglycans is provided. It is based on the finding that down-regulation of SOX9 results in decreased production of growth-inhibiting factors such as proteoglycans, and increased production of growth-promoting factors such as a laminin and fibronectin. The method of the present invention comprises the inhibition of SOX9 expression and function with an inhibitor such as an antisense oligonucleotide or a siRNA.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Robarts Research InstituteInventors: Arthur Brown, Paul Gris

Patent number: 8635282Abstract: A system and method for scheduling, and reminding people receiving care (PRC) about upcoming events uses a remote computer-based interface that allows a Caregiver at a remote location to schedule the events for the PRC. The PRC has in their residence (or other location) a device that prompts the PRC, by an audio and/or video prompt, so as to “nudge” the PRC, asking whether they intend to participate in a pre-scheduled event. A man-machine interface, such as a two input keypad containing one button labeled “yes” and another button labeled “no”, the remote Caregiver is able to monitor the responses of the electronic “nudges” offered by the system to the PRC. In turn, the device used by the remote Caregiver accumulates the responses and creates a history of the level of activity the person has indicated in which they wish to participate.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2011Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Kimberco, Inc.Inventors: Kimberley Price Berisford, Audrey Elizabeth Berisford, Carl Henry Krienen, Jr., Arthur Brown Bradsher, Christopher Michael Bradsher

Publication number: 20090108016Abstract: A portable medication dispensing system is described. In some embodiments, the system includes a portable medication tote comprising a securable compartment configured to hold medication, and a controller, responsive to access information, configured to assign a patient to the securable compartment such that medications for the patient are authorized for placement into the securable compartment. The controller is also configured to selectively permit a user access to the medications for the patient in the securable compartment when the access information indicates the user has access to the securable compartment, and restrict access to retrieval of the medications for the patient in the securable compartment when the access information indicates the user does not have access to the securable compartment. The system also includes an information output module configured to output usage information regarding access to the securable compartment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2007Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: CARDINAL HEALTH 303, INC.Inventors: Barry Arthur Brown, Duane E.

Publication number: 20090037020Abstract: A medication dispensing system is described. In some embodiments, the system includes a medication station and a controller responsive to patient admittance status information. The medication station includes at least one securable compartment configured to hold medication. The controller is configured to assign a patient to the at least one securable compartment such that medications for the patient are able to be placed into the at least one securable compartment. The controller is also configured to selectively permit access to the medications for the patient in the at least one securable compartment when the patient admittance status information indicates the patient is currently admitted, and restrict access to retrieval of the medications for the patient in the at least one securable compartment when the patient admittance status information indicates the patient is not currently admitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2007Publication date: February 5, 2009Applicant: CARDINAL HEALTH 303, INC.Inventor: Barry Arthur Brown

Publication number: 20070274624Abstract: There is provided a portable fiber optic cable based intrusion detection system in which support posts are driven into the earth to define a perimeter. A portably mountable fiber optic cable attenuator is installed to each support post. The fiber optic cable is wrapped around a first compressible member of the attenuator and then looped through a second compressible member. A retractable rod having a cross arm there through is elevated through the second compressible member to form an upper loop in fiber optic cable. The retractable rod is then retracted leaving the remaining upper loop. An external force on the fiber optic cable diminishes the upper loop about the cross arm thereby creating a microbend in the fiber optic cable. A light detector senses a reduced light intensity, caused by the microbend, at the end of the fiber optic cable which triggers an alarm.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2006Publication date: November 29, 2007Inventors: Frank Giotto, Arthur Brown
