  • Out of band control for legacy set top boxes
    Patent number: 12342031
    Abstract: A system for out of band control for legacy set top boxes in which an out-of-band (OOB) downstream signal containing control information for consumer premises equipment is transmitted to an end-of-line device, which converts it to an upstream OOB signal, then sends the upstream OOB signal in an upstream direction.

  • Collagen wound healing matrices and process for their production
    Patent number: 5219576
    Abstract: Collagen implants that are useful as wound healing matrices are characterized by being formed of collagen fibrils that are not chemically cross-linked, and having a bulk density of 0.01 to 0.3 g/cm.sup.3 and a pore population in which at least about 80% of the pores have an average pore size of 35 to 250 microns. The implants are capable of promoting connective tissue deposition, angiogenesis, reepithelialization, and fibroplasia. The wound healing matrix also serves as an effective sustained delivery system for bioactive agents.
