Hilal Ramadan Shaath - Redmond WA, US
Reena Agarwal - Sammamish WA, US
Andrew Thomas Marshall - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 6, 704 2, 715704

Abstract:

A novel technique for translating a string displayable on a user interface element in a graphical user interface provides a reliable translation without the use of a dictionary. In an embodiment of the invention, an identification is obtained, wherein the identification identifies the user interface element on which the string is displayed. A list is accessed, comprising the identification and a string in the second language. The list is searched to find the identification for the user interface element. Finally, a string is ascertained in the second language corresponding with the found identification in the list. In another embodiment, a string displayable on a user interface element is translated when the location of a user interface selection device on a display is at a location shared by the user interface element.

Appl. No.:

10/595233

Inventors:

Buddy D. Ratner - Seattle WA, US
Andrew Marshall - Federal Way WA, US

Assignee:

University of Washington - Seattle WA

International Classification:

A61K 9/50

US Classification:

424499, 424501

Abstract:

The invention provides porous biomaterials and methods for forming porous biomaterials. The porous biomaterials of the invention comprise a biocompatible polymer scaffold defining an array of pores, wherein substantially all the pores have a similar diameter, wherein the mean diameter of the pores is between about 20 and about 90 micrometers, wherein substantially all the pores are each connected to at least 4 other pores, and wherein the diameter of substantially all the connections between the pores is between about 15% and about 40% of the mean diameter of the pores. The invention also provides implantable devices comprising a layer of a biomaterial, and methods for promoting angiogenesis in and around an implantable biomaterial.

US Classification:

600398

Abstract:

Described herein is a device for glaucoma treatment and monitoring that comprises a combination of an intraocular pressure (IOP) sensor and a glaucoma drainage device. The device comprises an IOP sensor and an inductive antenna mounted within a porous biocompatible material that forms the drainage path. The IOP sensor is mounted in a footplate portion of the device and is mountable in the anterior chamber of an eye. The footplate portion is connected to a body portion that houses the spiral antenna by a neck portion which retains the footplate portion in a suitable position within the anterior chamber. Due to its size, the footplate portion housing the IOP sensor can readily be inserted into the anterior chamber with the body portion housing the spiral antenna located outside of the anterior chamber in a sub-scleral space to disperse the aqueous humour.
