  • Publication number: 20250231979
    Abstract: Various methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for providing personalized security information based on prompt responses. A method may include receiving a first query from a computing device associated with an account. The first query includes one or more words that are related to the account. The method may also include determining an account knowledge level for the account based on at least one of the one or more words of the first query, wherein the account knowledge level indicates a sophistication of the account. The method may further include determining a first response to the first query based on the account knowledge level associated with the account. A response complexity level of one or more words used in the first response are based on the account knowledge level.

  • Patent number: 9782522
    Abstract: Methods for treating or preventing neointima stenosis are disclosed. The methods generally involve the use of a TGF? inhibitor, a SMAD2 inhibitor, an FGF Receptor agonist, a Let-7 agonist, or a combination thereof, to inhibit endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (Endo-MT) of vascular endothelial cells into smooth muscle cells (SMC) at sites of endothelial damage. The disclosed methods can therefore be used to prevent or inhibit neointimal stenosis or restenosis, e.g., after angioplasty, vascular graft, or stent. Also disclosed are methods for increasing the patency of biodegradable, synthetic vascular grafts using a composition that inhibits Endo-MT. A cell-free tissue engineered vascular graft (TEVG) produced by this method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8740228
    Abstract: A dolly includes a deck having a support surface and a plurality of casters below the deck. The deck includes a plurality of caster-receiving pockets formed in an upper surface of the deck. The caster-receiving pockets are aligned with the casters, such that the casters of an identical dolly could be received in the caster-receiving pockets. The caster-receiving pockets are oriented at an acute angle relative to the end edges and side edges of the dolly. When stacked, the dollies are more consistently aligned and the stack is vertical.

  • Publication number: 20070252324
    Abstract: A system and method for accumulation of media invention includes a series of upper and lower transport belts for feeding media seriatim along a path of travel. An accumulator pocket is positioned between the upper and lower drive belts along the path of travel. An upper and a lower accumulator ramp is positioned adjacent the accumulator pocket are moveable between a first position and a second position. The first accumulator ramp position is such that the lower ramp is positioned to engage media moved seriatim along the path of travel to guide the media to form a forward accumulation of media in the accumulator pocket. The upper accumulator ramp second position is such that the upper accumulator ramp is positioned to engage media moved seriatim along the path of travel to guide the media to form a reverse accumulation of media in the accumulator pocket.
