  • Patent number: 11655506
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a treatment of a subject having a musculoskeletal disorder is provided. The method includes measuring a first expression level of at least two biomarkers at a treatment site prior to the treatment and measuring a second expression level of the at least two biomarkers at the treatment site after the treatment begins. The method further includes comparing the first expression level of the at least two biomarkers prior to the treatment to the second expression level of the at least two biomarkers post treatment and continuing the treatment, altering the treatment or stopping the treatment based on the comparison. A method of treating a musculoskeletal disorder in a subject is also provided. The method includes removing a aggrecan-hyaluronan matrix from a treatment site in the subject.

  • Patent number: 9217864
    Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic camera lens cleaning system. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a blower assembly having a housing with a camera secured thereto. The camera lens of the camera is encircled in an annular member having a plurality of apertures thereon, wherein the apertures are in air communication the interior volume of the housing and a tube connected thereto. The tube is in air communication with an air compressor pump, which is driven by engine or an electronic solenoid and actuated by a central processing unit (CPU) or the like. The air compressor pump can force air through the apertures so as to clean the camera lens. The CPU is adapted to actuate the air compressor pump when the vehicle transmission is set in reverse, when there is debris on the camera lens, and/or when the camera is initiated through a user interface.

  • Patent number: 5318107
    Abstract: The bag has a frame of rigid pieces secured together in three-dimensional shape, and panels are secured thereto forming a bottom side wall, end wall, and a pair of top closure panels, the latter being angled forming a gable roof type top. The panels are of limited flexibility enabling them to be bent about long radii. A bottle cooler and an electric warmer are provided, a large central space accommodating a large quantity of diapers forming great heat insulation between the bottle cooler and bottle warmer. The bottle warmer includes and electric cord normally held in a pocket and extendible to the exterior for plugging into a house socket or cigar heater socket in an automobile. The top panels have small sections that can be opened without opening the complete top panels enabling the bottles to be withdrawn and inserted vertically.
