  • Publication number: 20060165595
    Abstract: A method for evaluating in vivo a test substance for angiogenesis modulation activity, including the steps of providing a rodent pup having a pupillary membrane system in a first eye, injecting transcorneally proximate to the pupillary membrane a test substance; and examining the pupillary membrane to determine whether new vascular tissue has grown. The method can also evaluate the ability of a test substance to regress existing vascular tissue, or to inhibit or prevent new vascular tissue, by injecting transcorneally a first substance that induces new vascular tissue growth, then injecting a test substance, and examining the pupillary membrane to determine whether new vascular tissue has grown. The assay can also be used to evaluate the effect of a small molecule on a property of a capillary vessel, and to evaluate a test substance on a problematic vascular condition.

  • Patent number: 6963330
    Abstract: An actuated film display device comprises a first fixed electrode, a first movable film electrode, which is placed to face the first fixed electrode to form a first optical path on an opposing side to the first fixed electrode, and which has a fixed end and a movable end, the movable end being displaced toward the first fixed electrode by application of a first potential difference between the first fixed electrode and the first movable film electrode, thereby shutting off the first optical path, a second fixed electrode placed at a predetermined distance from the first fixed electrode, and a second movable film electrode, which is placed to face the second fixed electrode to form a second optical path on an opposing side to the second fixed electrode, which has a fixed end and a movable end, the movable end being displaced toward the second fixed electrode by application of a second potential difference between the second fixed electrode and the second movable film electrode, thereby shutting off the second

  • Patent number: 6857673
    Abstract: A carrier for sport boards such as surf boards. The carrier is a unitary structure formed from a tubular material having a back section which, at its lower end, transitions into a U-shape cradle and a handle. The sport board is received in the cradle and then may be transported by placing the carrier against the side of the user beneath the arm and grasping the handle retaining the board against the side of the user.

  • Patent number: 6848595
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stack of wipes for use in a wipes dispenser. The stack includes a plurality of wipes, each wipe of the plurality of wipes formed from a portion of a common material. Each wipe includes a leading edge portion with a pleat-like zone located along at least a portion of a length of the leading edge portion and the pleat-like zone is distinct from an adjoining main portion of each wipe. Each wipe is folded upon itself at least once and each wipe is positioned relative to adjacent wipes to form the stack of wipes.

  • Patent number: 6738029
    Abstract: In a reflective film display device, a platform has a covered stationary electrode mounted thereon, which holds a plurality of movable cantilevers in substantially a plane, and fixing a wiring board. The platform includes an aligning slit for accurately connecting a conducting line on the wiring board to the stationary electrode and to the movable cantilever that can be elastically bent and a through-hole for aligning the position of the platform with another platform. The cantilever having a tab at its free end is electrically separated from the stationary electrode on the platform and a gap is provided between the free end of the cantilever and the stationary electrode. A plurality of platforms are stacked one upon the other by utilizing the through-holes of the platforms so as to allow the tabs to be arranged to form a grid.

  • Patent number: 6697035
    Abstract: In a moving-film display device, each pixel includes a moving film electrode capable of bending and a counter electrode. The display color of each pixel is determined when the moving film electrode bends by a potential difference between the moving film electrode and the counter electrode. The moving film electrode is connected to a signal line via a TFT. The TFT is turned on/off by an address line. A controller keeps the TFT ON until the potential of the moving film electrode becomes substantially equal to a signal potential, and turns off the TFT before the moving film electrode comes closest to the counter electrode.
