  • Patent number: 10595794
    Abstract: An animal, specimen, or imaging phantom is imaged in precise increments over at least 360 degrees. The animal, specimen, or imaging phantom is supported within a subject holder. The subject holder has an elongated portion or tube for holding securely the animal, specimen or imaging phantom. The subject holder is connected to an actuator motor driver. The actuator motor driver causes the subject holder to rotate at the precise increments, and an image of the animal, specimen, or imaging phantom is captured at each increment. The subject holder limits movement of the subject being imaged at each increment.

  • Publication number: 20160193148
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to liposomal formulations of aminoglycoside such as gentamicin, the method of making and method of using such formulations. The aminoglycoside liposomal formulations disclosed have higher drug to lipid loading ratio, and enable the formulations to be used to treat infections caused by bacterial species resistant to common antibiotics. In one embodiment, a gentamicin liposome formulation with a gentamicin to phospholipid ratio of 10:1 to 26:1 has been prepared and shown to be effective at treating infections caused by R. equi.

  • Patent number: 4899693
    Abstract: A cooled portable pet bed has an insulated base with a central recess dimensioned to receive a container having a sealable opening for the insertion of ice cubes. An open weave fabric mattress covers the upper surface of the container to form a cooled mattress for a pet. A removable carrying strap allows the container to be utilized as a canteen for drinking water. The container may be formed from a rigid or durable flexible material.

  • Patent number: 4291295
    Abstract: In an on-board sensible signal that is activated by the speedometer of a vehicle when the vehicle speed exceeds a predetermined threshold and that remains activated when the speed is reduced below this threshold, the improvement consists of a combination of timing and logic circuitry that deactivates the signal when and only when the vehicle stops and remains at rest for a predetermined period of time.

  • Patent number: 4250487
    Abstract: Speed data samples from an ordinary digital speedometer are written sequentially into a number of addressed memory locations. Each new entry replaces the oldest entry then in memory. This writing process occurs only when the vehicle is moving, so the memory cannot be erased when the vehicle is at rest. The last writing address used is retained. Any stored data sample may be recalled and displayed by presenting its address. The time-before-vehicle-stop of the displayed recalled data corresponds to the sequential interval between the recalling address and the last-used writing address. In the most convenient modification, the user stepwise specifies the sequential interval and the device produces the appropriate recalling address.
