  • Publication number: 20250093000
    Abstract: A portable illumination apparatus such as, for example, a task light, that is lightweight and compact to provide enhanced illumination in an ambient environment when placed in one of a plurality of operating modes. The portable illumination apparatus includes a support base and a light module that includes one or more light sources and a rechargeable power source. The light module may be manually manipulated for movement between a collapsed, stowed position and a deployed position by rotation of about a first rotational axis. In the deployed position, the light module is rotatable about the second rotational axis that is perpendicular to the first rotational axis. The support base incorporates a carabiner clip member that facilitates secure attachment of the portable illumination apparatus to an object or surface in a manner that facilitates hands-free use of the portable illumination apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9128099
    Abstract: Methods for determining the presence or amount of a complex comprising a first and second molecular entity are provided, preferably an sFlt-1:PlGF complex. A determination of the presence or amount of the complex can be used in methods for predicting, detecting, monitoring a disease, or guiding therapy in respect to a disease such as vascular, vascular-related disease, cardiac, cardiac-related disease, cancer, cancer-related disease, preeclampsia, and preeclampsia-related disease. Determining sFlt-1:angiogenic factor complex is particularly useful for predicting and detecting preeclampsia in early stages of gestation and in stages of the disease where clinical evaluation may be uninformative.

  • Publication number: 20150224205
    Abstract: Polymer conjugates containing a C1-inhibitor having at least one substantially non-antigenic polymer covalently attached to the C1-inhibitor via amino group of the C1 inhibitor are provided. In the polymer conjugates, the substantially non-antigenic polymer is attached to the N-terminal of C1-inhibitor. Alternatively, the substantially non-antigenic polymer is attached to the N-terminal of C1-inhibitor and at least one more of the substantially non-antigenic polymer is attached to lysine and/or histidine of the C1-inhibitor. Furthermore, the polymer conjugates is attached to C1-inhibitor either via permanent or releasable spacers. In addition, methods of making the conjugates as well as methods of treatment using the conjugate of the present invention are also provided.
