Patent number: 10085940Abstract: The present disclosure provides liposomes comprising a membrane and an intraliposomal aqueous water phase, the membrane comprising at least one liposome forming lipid and the intraliposomal aqueous water phase comprises a salt of a bisphosphonate together with an amphipathic weak base agent (PLAD). An example of a liposome is one comprising co encapsulated in the intraliposomal aqueous water phase N-containing bisphosphonate, such as alendronate, and an anthracycline such as doxorubicin which was shown to increase survival as compared to Doxil or to administrations of liposomal alendronate (PLA) and Doxil (separate liposomes). Such liposomes may carry a targeting moiety exposed at the liposome's outer surface, for example, conjugate of folic acid as a targeting moiety to folate receptor (FT-PLAD). Also provided by the present disclosure is a method of preparing the liposomes and methods of use of the liposomes, at times, in combination with additional active ingredients, such as ?? T-cells.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignees: YISSUM RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY OF JERUSALEM LTD., KINGS COLLEGE LONDON, SHAARE ZEDEK SCIENTIFIC LTD.Inventors: Alberto A.

Patent number: 8922226Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of detection apparatus and/or methods. One aspect relates to an apparatus and/or detection methods for sensing material and/or detection of a predetermined characteristic within a detection zone. Another aspect relates to a method for improving the accuracy of an inspection device by capturing the human interpretation of its classification decision. Still another aspect relates to detection of relatively hard to detect items, for example items inside sealed packages. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a method of monitoring and/or improving the operation of a detection apparatus in which a detection result is obtained, and an adjustment (if necessary) is made in accordance with a comparison.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2007Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Detection Systems Pty LtdInventors: Anthony John Maher, Lachlan John Maher, Cameron Anthony Maher

Patent number: 8819541Abstract: A system and method that converts the digital typesetting documents used in publishing to a device-specific format for electronic publishing. A “smart file and device-specific application” approach maintains the “look and feel” (design) of the source document used for print publication while typesetting for a specific device. Although this approach requires considerably more resources to create a smart file for each device-specific format, the smart file retains the unique typesetting characteristics of the printed book, is more aesthetically pleasing, and is easier to read. Furthermore, the device-specific application can render the smart file more quickly thereby eliminating any latency.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2010Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Language Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christopher D Nicholas, Edward John Maher, II, Kristen L Ashley, Lee H Berendt

Publication number: 20120147192Abstract: A video camera and computer system for detecting events comprising: a processor in communication with a plurality of sensors and a camera over a communications network. The processor receives multiple data streams from the sensors, analyses the received data streams to detect an event and sends a trigger to the camera to capture video footage when an event is detected. Upon an event or alert, the processor: generates an event description associated with the detected event based on the data streams or the alert from the camera, links the generated description with an identifier of the captured video footage associated with the event, and stores the linked description and identifier to facilitate searching and retrieval of the captured video footage associated with the detected event.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2010Publication date: June 14, 2012Applicant: DEMAHER INDUSTRIAL CAMERAS PTY LIMITEDInventors: Dennis George Herbert Wright, David John Maher
