  • Use of dehydroeburicoic acid from in the treatment or prevention of diabetes and hyperlipidemia
    Patent number: 10449223
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for treating type 1 diabetes, hyperlipidemia or hepatic lipid accumulation by using dehydroeburicoic acid, as well as a method for decreasing levels of blood glucose, plasma total cholesterol, and triglyceride, and increasing insulin levels; and a method for decreasing hepatic balloon degeneration; and increasing expression levels of membrane GLUT4 and phospho-Akt in myotubes; and enhancing expression levels of membrane glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) in skeletal muscle, and phospho-AMPK in both skeletal muscle and liver tissue using dehydroeburicoic acid.

  • Optical-loop signal processing using reflection mechanisms
    Patent number: 5903691
    Abstract: Both recursive and non-recursive fiber-optic loop elements are cascaded to form various fiber-optic lattice configurations to form a fiber-optic signal processor for use in wideband applications capable of processing radio frequency (RF) signals. Each fiber-optic loop element includes a fiber-optic element, such as a monomode optical fiber or a monomode optical waveguide formed in a loop by way of a fiber-optic coupling device and one or more reflection mechanisms, such as a Bragg grating. In order to provide increased flexibility, the present invention allows the reflectivities of the reflection elements to be selected to provide additional flexibility in creating the frequency response characteristics of an optical signal processor.
