| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8143890 | Spectral resolution enhancement of magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging A method and apparatus for enhancing the spectral resolution of magnetic resonance spectroscopic (MRS) measurements include receiving time domain echo data from an MRS measurement for an MRS volume in a subject. Also received are high spatial resolution complex sign... | 03/27/2012 |
| 7964480 | Single scan irradiation for crystallization of thin films A method of processing a polycrystalline film on a substrate includes generating laser pulses, directing the laser pulses through a mask to generate patterned laser beams, each having a length l′, a width w′, and a spacing between adjacent beams d′; irradiatin... | 06/21/2011 |
| 7958063 | Methods and systems for identifying and localizing objects based on features of the objects that are mapped to a vector A method of identifying and localizing objects belonging to one of three or more classes, includes deriving vectors, each being mapped to one of the objects, where each of the vectors is an element of an N-dimensional space. The method includes training an ensemble ... | 06/07/2011 |
| 7635569 | Protein/solubility folding assessed by structural complementation Many proteins, when produced recombinantly, suffer from improper processing, folding and lack normal solubility. Modified proteins, including those indicative of disease states, also can have such defects. The present invention is directed to methods of identifying ... | 12/22/2009 |
| 7435429 | Zinc salt compositions for the prevention of dermal and mucosal irritation The present invention provides for compositions and methods that may offer protection from irritants, as well as antimicrobial protection. Preferred embodiments of the invention include topical antimicrobial compositions comprising two or more water-soluble zinc sal... | 10/14/2008 |
| 7393686 | Genetic demonstration of requirement for NKX6.1 and NKX2.2 in ventral neuron generation This invention provides a method of converting a stem cell into a ventral neuron which comprises introducing into the stem cell a nucleic acid which expresses homeodomain transcription factor Nkx6.1 protein in the stem cell so as to thereby convert the stem cell int... | 07/01/2008 |
