  • Publication number: 20160202040
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a laser deflection device in a reflected light device of a microscope of a laser inictodissection system having a digital image capturing unit comprising an image evaluation module includes generating a laser beam; guiding the laser beam through a microscope objective; directing the laser beam to a position defined by actuation sinals; placing a calibration object in the object plane of the microscope objective; actuating the laser deflection device using first actuation signais and first calibration values, making at least one calibration mark on the calibration object; capturing an image ofthe calibration object by the digital image capturing unit; determining actual position values for the at least one calibration mark; and determining second calibration values based on a relationship between the default position values and the actual position values.

  • Patent number: 9181276
    Abstract: The present invention includes methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors, and modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands. The present invention also includes modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands having Formula (I), its subgenus, and specific compounds. Furthermore, the present invention includes ingestible compositions comprising the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands and methods of using the modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands to enhance the sweet taste of an ingestible composition or treat a condition associated with a chemosensory receptor.

  • Patent number: 8795193
    Abstract: Methods and devices for treating tinnitus in human or animal subjects wherein the subject is caused to perceive a tinnitus suppressing sound which fully or partially suppresses the subject's tinnitus. In some embodiments of this method, the subject selects a sound that he or she perceives to be the same as the tinnitus and that sound (or a similar sound that is complementary to the subject's perceived tinnitus) is then used as the tinnitus suppressing sound. In other embodiments, the tinnitus suppressing may be a sound that has previously been determined to suppress tinnitus in a substantial number of subjects.
