Patent number: 9737222Abstract: A method for performing a non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (“MRA”) for a subject is provided. The method includes directing a magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) system to perform a pulse sequence to acquire k-space data from imaging slices that are oriented away from an axial direction of the subject. The method includes repeating the pulse sequence for a plurality of imaging slices, wherein a field-of-view (“FOV”) of at least one of the plurality of imaging slices is shifted by a predetermined value. The method also includes reconstructing, using the acquired k-space data, one or more angiographic images indicative of the subject's vasculature.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: ENH RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventor: Robert Edelman

Patent number: 9526423Abstract: A method for non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (“MRA”) that has a short scan time and is insensitive to patient motion is provided. More particularly, the method provides significant arterial conspicuity and substantial venous signal suppression. A two-dimensional single shot acquisition is employed and timed to occur a specific time period after the occurrence of an R-wave in a contemporaneously recorded electrocardiogram. In this manner, k-space data is acquired that is substantially insensitive to variations in arterial flow velocity, or heart rate, and that further substantially suppresses unwanted venous signal in a prescribed imaging slice.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Ghost Medical Technologies, Ltd.Inventor: Robert Edelman

Publication number: 20130159144Abstract: A method and a system for providing an alternative fulfillment for a buyer's unfulfilled order are described. The system has an order fulfillment issue detection module, an alternative fulfillment qualification module, a replacement item matching module, and a replacement item order module. The order fulfillment issue detection module detects a fulfillment delay of an item in an order placed in an online marketplace. The alternative fulfillment qualification module determines whether the fulfillment delay qualifies for an alternative fulfillment order. The replacement matching module determines a replacement item for the item. The replacement item order module cancels the order and replaces the order with the alternative fulfillment order for the replacement item.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2011Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: Krystal Rose Higgins, Roel Ramirez, Margaret Szeto, Joel Robert Edelman, Caroline Juliet Fernandes, Stephen Tse, F Monroe Labouisse, Amol Vilas Sane, David Grabel, Zeenat Vastrad, Kirk Jonathan Wicks

Publication number: 20130066744Abstract: A flexible shipping delivery system has an online marketplace interface, a client interface, a shipping carrier interface, and a flexible shipping delivery engine. The online marketplace interface communicates with an online marketplace application. The client interface communicates with a client that places an order for an item on the online marketplace application. The client interface receives a shipping delivery preference of a user of the client. The shipping carrier interface communicates with a shipping carrier server. The shipping carrier server provides a tracking shipping status of the item. The flexible shipping delivery engine adjusts a delivery option of the item based on the tracking shipping status of the item and the shipping delivery preference.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Applicant: eBay Inc.Inventors: Krystal Rose Higgins, Margaret Szeto, Caroline Juliet Fernandes, Joel Robert Edelman, Roel Ramirez, Stephen Tse, Amol Vilas Sane

Publication number: 20070055138Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for forming a magnetic resonance image of a human. The method includes the steps of applying a plurality of relatively constant spatially non-selective radio frequency pulses to an imaging volume of the human, applying a plurality of combinations of magnitude of phase-encoding gradients in slice-selective and in-plane directions to the imaging volume of the human, wherein the plurality of combinations is adapted to undersample the imaging volume in k-space, detecting magnetic resonance imaging data from the imaging volume using a plurality of receiver coils and forming the magnetic resonance image of the imaging volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventor: Robert Edelman

Patent number: 6664357Abstract: An improved process for manufacturing a dual cure anaerobic/ultraviolet adhesive. The process includes the first step of mixing a polymerizable (meth)acrylate ester monomer, such as methacrylic acid, a chelating agent and an accelerator. The second step is heating the mixture sufficiently to provide anaerobic curing properties. Next, one or more photoinitiators are added to the composition. No chelating agent is added during the addition of the photoinitiators.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2003Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: National Starch and Chemical Investment Holding CorporationInventor: Robert Edelman

Patent number: 5794619Abstract: The avoiding of uncomfortable-to-the-touch ear loops and the like in the attaching insertion of oxygen-delivering inserts of a cannula into a patient's nose which uses a 0.25 inch diameter in a circular base of a U-shape of the cannula to provide a chord which in width wise size is smaller than the width wise size of a patient's typical columella which divides in two the nasal cavities, such that the size difference results in a "pinch" fit which holds the cannula in place during its use, and the referred to columella not being sensitive-to-touch thus does not contribute to patient discomfort.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1997Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Inventors: Robert Edelman, Louis M. Pagliara

Patent number: 5401779Abstract: A thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer matrix having sized carbon fibers incorporated therein for reinforcement. The carbon fibers are coated on their surface with a sizing composition comprising a rigid polyimide coating which is derived from the reaction of at least one aromatic diamine, at least one dianhydride, and at least one aromatic tetracarboxylic acid diester in which the carboxylic acid groups and ester groups are ortho disposed. By the use of appropriate amounts of heat and pressure, multifilamentary bundles of carbon fibers are readily impregnated with thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer to form a prepreg having a uniform distribution of carbon fiber throughout.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1983Date of Patent: March 28, 1995Inventors: Robert Edelman, Richard D.
