  • VASCULAR STENT DESIGN
    Publication number: 20110276123
    Abstract: This invention is directed to the design of radially expandable vascular stents to optimize hemodynamic flow characteristics that are favorable for the inhibition of stent-associated thrombosis, inflammation, and restenosis (neointimal formation) and that will reduce the risk of adverse events post-deployment.

  • Methods for identifying target genes, gene expression profiles, and biochemical/signal transduction pathways associated with specific patterns of hemodynamic shear stress and atherogenesis and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20040053294
    Abstract: Differentially expressed genes and profiles of differentially expressed genes associated with hemodynamic shear stress in vivo in mammalian vasculature are provided. Methods for identifying such profiles and using these profiles to identify and target regions of the vasculature with anti-atherogenic therapies are provided. Also provided are methods of identifying agents which modulate a gene of the profile for use in preventing atherogenesis and treating atherosclerosis.

  • Compositions, kits, and methods for hydrodynamic stress-related regulation of gene expression
    Patent number: 6399311
    Abstract: Compositions, kits, and, methods for identifying genes, expression of which is spatially regulated in response to phenomena related to cellular hydrodynamic stress are disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Aerosol food flavoring compositions
    Patent number: 4788068
    Abstract: A food flavoring composition in aerosol form comprising a major amount of concentrate and a minor amount of a suitable propellant. The concentrate contains from 50 to 75% food grade oil, from 5-50% undissolved solids, an emulsifier with a HLB value of from 7 to 12 and substantially no moisture. The flavored product can be sprayed onto various foods such as popcorn for the needed flavor enhancement.

    Assignee: The Dial Corporation
    Inventors: Gregory A. Konishi, Peter F. Davy
  • Cosmetic stick
    Patent number: 4126679
    Abstract: A novel combination of powdered materials such as zirconium and aluminum salts suspended in a solid solution of volatile silicones and long chain alcohols. The silicones and alcohols are brought into solid solution by mixing the components in liquid phase at temperatures not to exceed 150.degree. F. (66.degree. C.). The addition of the powdered material to the silicone oil and alcohol matrix prevents the separation of the components upon cooling.This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 655,665, filed Feb. 5, 1976, now abandoned.
