Patent number: 9617604Abstract: A system for classifying thyroid nodule tissue as malignant or benign is provided that is based on the identification of sets of gene transcripts, which are characterized in that changes in expression of each gene transcript within a set of gene transcripts can be correlated to with either malignant or benign thyroid nodule disease. The thyroid classification system provides for sets of “thyroid classifying” target sequences and further provides for combinations of polynucleotide probes and primers derived there from. These combinations of polynucleotide probes can be provided in solution or as an array. The combination of probes and the arrays can be used for diagnosis. The invention further provides further methods of classifying thyroid nodule tissue.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2015Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: GENOMEDX BIOSCIENCES, INC.Inventors: Elai Davicioni, Sam Michael Wiseman

Publication number: 20150358397Abstract: A distributed system is disclosed in which one or more servers respond to requests for content including hyperlinks. Hyperlinks provide an interactive visual manifestation of an underlying reference to a resource. By using a graphical user interface provided by the device, a user is able to select a hyperlink, and thereby control the device to obtain the resource to which the underlying reference refers. However, if a user selects a hyperlink and the device is unable to follow the underlying reference to obtain the resource, user disappointment results. By arranging the server, on providing visual content including one or more hyperlinks, to attempt (212) to follow the references underlying the hyperlinks, and to alter (216) the appearance of any hyperlink for which the underlying reference could not be followed, users are alerted to the likelihood that selecting the hyperlink will not lead to them obtaining the resource. In this way, user disappointment is avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Applicant: British Telecommunications Public Limited CompanyInventor: Richard Michael WISEMAN

Patent number: 8393645Abstract: Devices that can be releasably attached to seat belts and other restraint system webs to adjust the operational tension in the webs are described herein. In one embodiment, a seat belt web passes through a clamping device that includes a button movably coupled to a housing. In this embodiment, manual operation of the button in a first direction causes the device to clamp onto the adjacent portion of the seat belt web, thereby preventing the portion of web from being pulled through a web guide by a retractor. Manual operation of the button in a second direction causes the device to release the web.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2010Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: AmSafe Commercial Products, Inc.Inventors: Michael A. Wiseman, Robert Desmarais

Publication number: 20130009391Abstract: Personal restraint systems for use in recreational utility vehicles (RUVs) are disclosed herein. A personal restraint system configured in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure includes a web configured to extend around an occupant and a locking retractor having a motorized spool. A control module is electrically coupled to the locking retractor and the motorized spool is operably coupled to the web. A sensor is electrically coupled to the control module and is configured to detect dynamic characteristics of the RUV. In one embodiment, the sensor detects acceleration events that indicate a level of ride quality and the locking retractor adjusts the tension in the web based on the level of ride quality.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2012Publication date: January 10, 2013Applicant: AmSafe Commercial Products, Inc.Inventors: Peter E. Miller, Tom Fisher, Jeffrey Miller, Michael A. Wiseman, Jeff Wood, Wayne Carter, Robert Desmarais
