  • Patent number: 12036384
    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to devices, systems and methods for improving thrombolysis via synergetic application of thrombolytics with physical factors, such as in acute ischemic stroke patients. Vibration in the low (0.5-120 Hz) frequency range is synergistic with tissue plasminogen activators (rtPA), significantly improving the effectiveness of thrombolysis without impairing blood brain barrier permeability. Administration of low frequency vibration combined with rtPA improve acute ischemic stroke outcomes.

  • Patent number: 9648313
    Abstract: An aviation display system includes an input source configured to provide a left eye input channel including a first band and an input source configured to provide a right eye input channel having a second band different from the first band. A processor is coupled with the input sources and with a non-transitory processor readable medium storing processor executable code, which causes the processor to receive data indicative of the left eye and right eye input channels from the input sources and to generate a left eye output channel and a right eye output channel. A display is configured to receive the left and right eye output channels from the processor and to provide an image indicative of the left eye output channel to a left eye of a user, and an image indicative of the right eye output channel to a right eye of the user.

  • Patent number: 9464418
    Abstract: A sanitary insertion unit has a sealing ring with a sleeve-shaped extension, the free end region of which extension has a head which protrudes circumferentially and, when the extension is inserted into an associated line section, can be deformed at least in regions such that the head of the extension is placed onto the inner circumferential wall of the line section. A sanitary insertion unit also has/is a flow regulator, the outer circumference of the housing of which bears a clamping edge region for sealing and clamping the flow regulator between two interconnected line sections, the flow regulator bears a sleeve-shaped extension, the circumferentially protruding head of which, produced from elastic material, can be deformed, when the extension is inserted into a line section, such that the head is placed onto the inner circumferential wall of the line section.

  • Patent number: 9058749
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for correlation of received objects offering a valid presentation to an operator. The method correlates actual objects and simulated objects to offer a valuable training presentation environment to an operator. The method may receive a plurality of data streams including sensed data, simulated sensed data, and truth data to correlate among the plurality of data to determine if the data corresponds to a common object. Each of these data streams may be received from an off-board source via datalink or generated by an onboard simulation data source. The system correlates data received from an onboard source with data received from an off-board source to present the best available training scenario to the operator.
