Patent number: 11592453Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of providing a metabololipidomic profile and SPM signature on the progress of the innate host defense response following blood clotting. The method can include the step of taking one or more measurements in a patient's blood sample, wherein the sample is obtained during the time-course of clotting or coagulation or following clotting or coagulation, of pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory mediators (eicosanoids) and specialized pro-resolving mediators SPMs. From these measurements, a personalized metabololipidomic profile can be obtained. By comparing the measurement to that taken from normal or reference blood, a comparison profile can be developed. The profile comparison profile can then be used to make a medical or therapeutic decision.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2017Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc.Inventors: Charles N.

Patent number: 9591972Abstract: Method and apparatuses are described to evaluate a state of health of a coronary artery. Vibrational cardiac data from a transducer is received from a first location. The transducer measures vibration of a surface of a human's body non-invasively. The vibrational cardiac data is processed in a second location to create processed vibrational cardiac data. The processing includes separating an unwanted coronary event from the vibrational cardiac data. The processing further includes performing a time-to-frequency transformation on the vibrational cardiac data from a portion of a diastolic interval within a heart cycle to obtain a vibrational frequency power spectrum estimate. The processing includes evaluating a state of health of the coronary artery using the processed vibrational cardiac data.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2015Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: PHONOFLOW MEDICAL, LLCInventors: Norman Lee Owsley, Roger Paul Norris, Ralph Walter Zaorski

Patent number: 8419651Abstract: A method includes acquiring vibrational cardiac data from an array of N transducers wherein the transducers are coupled to a human. A master replica is selected from a segment of the vibrational cardiac data. The master replica is correlated with the segment to obtain a plurality of local maxima. Vibrational cardiac data that were emitted during a diastolic interval are extracted from each heart cycle with the aid of the plurality of local maxima. A two-dimensional space-time frequency power spectrum is processed for Equivalent Rectangular Bandwidth, which provides estimates of the energy produced by turbulent blood flow through a coronary stenosis.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Phonoflow Medical, LLCInventors: Norman Lee Owsley, Roger Paul Norris, Ralph Walter Zaorski

Publication number: 20120036050Abstract: Low-income housing projects generate federal low-income housing tax credits. Previously, due to numerous impediments, investing in tax credits results in a negative, or at best a neutral effect on the investor's EBITDA for financial accounting purposes. The present invention relates a method that allows for a more efficient syndication of the available tax credits that generates positive EBITDA to investors at a lower cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2010Publication date: February 9, 2012Inventor: Jason Paul NORRIS
