Publication number: 20240075055Abstract: Methods for treating coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, are described. The methods can be used to reduce the severity of outcomes related to COVID-19, such as hospitalization and ventilation. For example, the methods can involve treatment of a subject with a therapeutic agent that degrades hyaluronan and/or an agent that neutralizes a hyaluronan receptor, e.g., CD44, such as an anti-CD44 antibody.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2021Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicants: University of Virginia Patent Foundation, The University of ManchesterInventors: William A.

Patent number: 8393521Abstract: A method of producing a welded assembly from a first metal part and a second metal part includes bringing the first metal part and the second metal part into contact with one another at a joint region while providing a flash ring separator adjacent the joint region configured to intercept and separate flash. After heating the joint region, the first and second metal parts are forced together to join the first metal part to the second metal part, extruding metal flash from the joint region. The extruded flash impinges on the flash ring separator, forming a flash ring having at least one indentation. During subsequent machining of the welded assembly to remove the flash ring, the flash ring may fragment at the indentation, so that it does not cause damage by becoming hung around the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Dennis Sachaschik, Thomas K. Yeung, Russell D. Carpenter, Frank K. Anthony, Tom G. Hamric, Joy Elaine Allen, Marlon Cobbins, Joseph Paluga

Patent number: 8280849Abstract: A system and method for enhanced data transfer are disclosed, the method being applicable to a system comprising a computing device configured to transfer data from a portable device. In one embodiment, the computing device stores a fingerprint of the newest record downloaded from a portable device and stops downloading records from the device when a downloaded record matches the fingerprint. In another embodiment, the computing device stores a fingerprint of the newest record downloaded from a portable device and fully processes records that are downloaded from the device after a downloaded record matches the fingerprint. The system may include a portable device configured to adapt its operation responsive to a system fingerprint provided by the computing device. The portable device may be a medical device. The system may be a healthcare data management system.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2011Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Richard Baker, David Bradley Markisohn, Morris J. Young, Janette Elaine Allen, Jason A. Hyden
