Publication number: 20240103645Abstract: A computer input system includes a mouse including a housing having an interior surface defining an internal volume and a sensor assembly disposed in the internal volume. A processor is electrically coupled to the sensor assembly and a memory component having electronic instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to determine an orientation of the mouse relative to a hand based on a touch input from the hand detected by the sensor assembly. The mouse can also have a circular array of touch sensors or lights that detect hand position and provide orientation information to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Bart K.

Publication number: 20230393149Abstract: Disclosed is an in vitro method for assessing the presence of gingivitis in a human subject. The method is based on the insight to determine a selection of three biomarker proteins. Accordingly, in a saliva sample of the subject the concentrations are measured of the proteins Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and Interleukin-1? (IL-1?), and at least one of C reactive protein (CRP) and Haemoglobin. Based on the concentrations as measured, a value is determined reflecting the joint concentrations for said proteins. This value is compared with a threshold value reflecting in the same manner the joint concentrations associated with the absence of gingivitis or periodontitis. The comparison allows to assessing whether the testing value is indicative of the presence of gingivitis in said subject. Thereby, typically, a testing value reflecting a joint concentration above the joint concentration reflected by the threshold, is indicative of the presence of gingivitis.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Gerben KOOIJMAN, Michael Alex VAN HARTSKAMP, Marinus Karel Johannes DE JAGER, Amir Hussein RMAILE, Philip PRESHAW, John J.

Publication number: 20210382069Abstract: Disclosed is an in vitro method for assessing whether a human patient suffering from periodontitis has mild periodontitis or advanced periodontitis. The method is based on the insight to determine a selection of three bio marker proteins. Accordingly, in a sample of saliva a patient suffering from periodontitis, the concentrations are measured of the proteins Pyruvate Kinase (PK) and at least two of Haemoglobin-beta (Hb-beta), Haemoglobin-delta (Hb-delta), S100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8) and S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9). Based on the concentrations as measured, a value is determined reflecting the joint concentrations for said proteins. This value is compared with a threshold value reflecting in the same manner the joint concentrations associated with advanced periodontitis. The comparison allows assessing whether the testing value is indicative of the presence of advanced periodontitis or of mild periodontitis in said patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2019Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Gerben KOOIJMAN, Amir Hussein RMAILE, Carl GLASSE, Marinus Karel Johannes DE JAGER, Iain Leslie Campbell CHAPPLE, Melissa Mackay GRANT, Philip PRESHAW, John J TAYLOR, Michael Alex VAN HARTSKAMP

Publication number: 20210181209Abstract: Disclosed is a system, a kit, a use and an in vitro method for assessing whether a human patient suffering from periodontitis has mild periodontitis or advanced periodontitis. The system and method are based on the insight to apply a clustering technique to a reference set of patient data, and then further discriminating the sets of bio markers to be applied. The clusters are determined on the basis of the biomarkers Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), Matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP8), and Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9). The actual classification of the patient is done on the basis of the measurement of the concentrations of either of two sets of biomarkers. For one cluster these are Interleukin-1? (IL1?), Interleukin-6 (IL6), and Collagen Telopeptide. For the other cluster, these are HGF and metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2018Publication date: June 17, 2021Inventors: Supriyo CHATTERJEA, Marinus Karel Johannes DE JAGER, Amir Hussein RMAILE, Gerben KOOIJMAN, Michael Alex VAN HARTSKAMP, Philip PRESHAW, John J TAYLOR

Publication number: 20200363430Abstract: Disclosed is an in vitro method for assessing whether a human patient is free from periodontal disease, has gingivitis, has mild periodontitis or has advanced periodontitis. The method is based on the insight to determine biomarker proteins. Accordingly, in a sample of saliva of a patient, the concentrations are measured of the proteins: Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (A1 AGP) and Pyruvate Kinase (PK), and at least one of the proteins Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and S100 calcium binding protein A8 (S100A8).

Patent number: 5920386Abstract: An apparatus and method for aiming a vehicle headlight to a standard image pattern includes a frame movable relative to the vehicle. A housing carried on a vertically adjustable housing includes a lens focusing a headlight beam onto a reflective screen which reflects the beam image to a camera. A control compares the digitized image output from the camera with a standard image pattern and generates a correlation factor based on the difference between the reflected image and a standard image. Based on the difference, the control generates output signals to an adjustment device engagable with the headlight mounting frame to adjust the position of the mounting frame to reduce the difference to zero.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 1997Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Assignees: Progressive Tool & Industries Co., Panter Master Controls, Inc.Inventors: Ronald L.

Patent number: 4363449Abstract: A process is disclosed for reclaiming a jelly-filled telecommunication cable. The process comprises the steps of cutting the cable into segments of jelly bearing insulated wires and forming the segments into a slurry heated to a temperature sufficient to soften the jelly. The slurry is milled thereby liberating insulation from the wires with a substantial portion of the softened jelly adhering to the liberated insulation. The jelly-bearing liberated insulation is then separated from the wires.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1981Date of Patent: December 14, 1982Assignees: Western Electric Co., Inc., Nassau Recycle CorporationInventors: Susan H.

Patent number: 4309564Abstract: Novel methods of forming in situ eutectic mixtures of three or more lower alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid are disclosed which avoid the prior art methods of forming the respective esters independently and blending them, for example, by melting. Such eutectic mixtures may be formed in situ by first reacting a p-hydroxybenzoic acid and a lower alkanol in the presence of an esterification catalyst to form a first lower alkyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, reacting the resulting mixture with two or more lower alkanols under heat to form a mixture of three or more lower alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, quenching the reaction when the ratio of the respective lower alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid to each other is such that the mixture thereof is liquid at room temperature and isolating the resulting eutectic mixture. Other methods of preparing such eutectic mixtures in situ are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 1980Date of Patent: January 5, 1982Assignee: Mallinckrodt, Inc.Inventors: Donald F.
