Patent number: 11957765Abstract: The disclosure pertains to methods and compositions for treating disorders affecting the central nervous system (CNS). These disorders include neurometabolic disorders such as lysosomal storage diseases that affect the central nervous system, e.g., Niemann-Pick A disease. They also include disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The disclosed methods involve contacting an axonal ending of a neuron with a composition containing high titer AAV carrying a therapeutic transgene so that the AAV vector is axonally transported in a retrograde fashion and transgene product is expressed distally to the administration site.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Genzyme CorporationInventors: Marco A. Passini, James Dodge

Publication number: 20230364200Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating disorders or injuries that affect motor function and control in a subject. In one aspect, the invention a transgene product is delivered to a subject’s spinal cord by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the brain. The viral vector delivers the transgene to a region of the brain which is susceptible to infection by the virus and which expresses the encoded recombinant viral gene product. Also provided are compositions for delivery of a transgene product to a subject’s spinal cord by administering a recombinant neurotrophic viral vector containing the transgene to the subject’s brain.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2022Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: James Dodge, Lamya Shihabuddin, Catherine O’Riordan

Publication number: 20210228692Abstract: Lysosomal storage diseases can be successfully treated using intraventricular delivery of the enzyme which is etiologically deficient in the disease. The administration can be performed slowly to achieve maximum effect. Surprisingly, effects are seen on both sides of the blood-brain barrier, making this an ideal delivery means for lysosomal storage diseases which affect both brain and visceral organs.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2020Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventors: James DODGE, Marco A.

Patent number: 10724285Abstract: A dampening translator for a sliding building closure comprising a housing having a longitudinal axis and a traveler track with a longitudinally extending portion having a first end. A traveler is carried by the housing and includes a body carrying track followers carried in the traveler track of the housing, and carrying longitudinally spaced walls extending away from the body and establishing a catch space therebetween. A retractor is carried by the housing and has a housing portion coupled to the housing and a traveler portion coupled to the traveler to bias the traveler in a direction toward the first end of the traveler track. A dampener is carried by the housing to decelerate the traveler.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: MILGARD MANUFACTURING INCORPORATEDInventors: Travis James Dodge, Michael Barton, Eric Baczuk

Publication number: 20160353921Abstract: A machine and system in the art of precision cooking, which can be a stand-alone appliance, or integrated into a thermally insulated chamber; the machine having means to collect geometric, physical, and thermal values; having access to an electronic database of material composition values, a program which through onboard micro-computing or connection to external computing resources, generates a three-dimensional thermo physical model of the irregular shaped food object to be cooked, relating obtained values as to retrieve essential heat conduction variables to render an accurate cook time. The machine and system, once integrated inside a thermally insulated chamber, or in communication with a thermally insulated chamber through an IoT communication platform can, once cook time is calculated, receive feedback from user through a display—this feedback assists in ensuring accurate precision of cooking time by slightly changing the individual users machine to account for irregular variables in the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2015Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventor: Travis James Dodge
