  • Patent number: 9447418
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of selectively pro-oranti-angiogenic treatment of a mammalian subject, comprising site-specific control of alternative splicing during processing of VEGF pre-mRNA transcribed from the C terminal exon 8 of the VEGF gene using controlling agents for the splicing, wherein one or more controlling agent which favors proximal splice site (PSS) splicing in said processing is used in the pro-angiogenic treatment and one or more controlling agent which favors distal splice site (DSS) splicing in said processing is used in the anti-angiogenic treatment.

  • Patent number: 9345185
    Abstract: Techniques for forming a header for an implantable medical device via a two-shot molding process are described. The two-shot molding processes may include a first molding step that creates a first-shot assembly and a second molding step that creates a second-shot assembly. The first-shot assembly may be formed to include one or more protrusions configured to interact with a second-shot mold and/or molding material in the second molding step. The second molding step may be configured to overmold the first-shot assembly. The header may include an attachment plate at least partially embedded in molding material and configured to be mechanically coupled to a body of the implantable medical device.

  • Publication number: 20140285396
    Abstract: A connector assembly for an implantable medical device with hardware components placed in established physical locations within the polymer of the connector, and a method of making the assembly. One embodiment includes a method that involves forming a first shot, coupling at least one hardware component to the first shot to form a subassembly, placing the subassembly between a set of opposing areas of a mold, moving at least one of the areas of the set of opposed areas of the mold to constrain the subassembly within the mold, and introducing a second shot over at least a portion of the subassembly to form the connector.

  • Patent number: 8670867
    Abstract: A robotic milking system suitable for use with conventional milking clusters. Clusters are withdrawn to a generally known position upon release from a cow with the cups hanging down below the bowl. The cups are then located in a confined region from where they are picked up by a robotic arm and attached to teats of a cow. The cups may be located into recesses or slots or be drawn through a guide. The arrangement allows a single robotic arm to service multiple bales of a rotary milking parlor. The application of a vacuum to milking cups may be controlled by applying sufficient pressure to the pulsation line of a cup to collapse the cup liner when that cup is not attached to a teat or by bending a feed line to a cup to close the flow path.
