  • Patent number: 11953706
    Abstract: Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.

  • Publication number: 20240081817
    Abstract: An orthopedic implant system can be used to fixate two bones (e.g., to portions of a single bone) relative to each other during a surgical procedure. In some configurations, the implant system includes a staple having at least two legs separated by a bridge. The staple can include at least two couplings on either side of the bridge accessible through a top surface of the staple connectable to two corresponding coupling shafts. The coupling shafts can attach through the top surface of the staple without extending below an underside of the staple. The coupling shafts can be used to bias the at least two legs of the staple away from each other for insertion into holes formed into two bones. By attaching the coupling shafts through the top of the staple, the staple can be inserted flush with the two bones before releasing the shafts.

  • Publication number: 20170079966
    Abstract: It has been shown that Compound 1 unexpectedly and potently inhibits TIE2 kinase, and that Compound 1 inhibits drug resistance mechanisms in both the tumor and in the surrounding microenvironment through balanced inhibition of TIE2, MET, and VEGFR2 kinases. Thus, Compound 1 provides a single therapeutic agent able to address multiple hallmarks of cancer by inhibiting TIE2, MET, and VEGFR2 kinases in the tumor microenvironment [Hanahan 2011]. Through its balanced inhibitory potency vs TIE2, MET, and VEGFR2, Compound 1 provides an agent which inhibits three major tumor (re)vascularization and resistance pathways (ANG, HGF, VEGF) and blocks tumor invasion and metastasis. Compound 1 exhibits anti-tumor activity alone and in combination with other targeted agents or chemotherapy.
