  • Damage detection using laser vibrometry
    Patent number: 8656779
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for exciting a structure and determining its structural integrity. In particular, methods of nonlinear analysis are used to compare first and second response datasets, each dataset resulting from a different excitation amplitude that the other dataset.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 5, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 25, 2014
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation

  • TREATMENT OF GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE
    Publication number: 20100092465
    Abstract: Methods for treating graft-versus-host disease, methods for reducing symptoms of graft-versus-host disease, and methods of reducing the severity of graft-versus-host disease in a patient are disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an IL-27 antagonist in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. IL-27 antagonists include soluble IL-27RA proteins and antagonists that comprise an antigen-binding site of an antibody.
