US Patent:

6524070, Feb 25, 2003

Filed:

Aug 21, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/643012

Inventors:

Stephen Michael Carter - Reading MA

Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

F01D 522

US Classification:

416193A, 416223 A

Abstract:

A rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine operates with reduced circumferential rim stress. The rotor assembly includes a rotor including a plurality of rotor blades and a radially outer platform. The rotor blades extend radially outward from the platform. A root fillet extends circumferentially around each blade between the blades and platforms. The platforms include an outer surface including a plurality of indentations extending between adjacent rotor blades. Each indentation extends from a leading edge of the platform to a trailing edge of the platform with a depth that tapers to an approximate zero depth at the trailing edge.

John J. Masiz - Topsfield MA
Stephen G. Carter - Andover MA

Assignee:

BioChemics, Inc. - Danvers MA

International Classification:

A61F 1300

US Classification:

424449, 424447

Abstract:

An efficient transdermal delivery system for delivering an active ingredient to the blood supply of a living body, comprising a vasodilator, an active ingredient, and a permeation enhancer for the active ingredient. The components of this mixture are combined in a manner that dissolves them into solution, eliminating the need for a polymeric binding agent and thus diminishing the total molecular weight of the mixture and increasing the penetration and delivery efficiency of the active drug molecules.

US Classification:

700160, 700186, 700189, 3185681, 415118

Abstract:

A method for fabricating a component using a tool includes determining an actual property of a region of the component, comparing the actual property of the region of the component with an expected property of the region to determine a difference between the actual property and the expected property, and updating a path of the tool that is electronically stored in a memory and executable by a processor for fabricating the component based on the difference between the actual property and the expected property of the region.

International Classification:

G06F 17/60

US Classification:

705 8

Abstract:

Techniques for distributed workflow processing are presented. A first workflow system and a second workflow system process actions of a workflow. The workflow is coordinated through one or more identity services. The identity services also establish trusted and secure communications between the first and second workflow systems.

International Classification:

A61K 38/43

US Classification:

424 941

Abstract:

A method for treating a patient suffering from a wound, ulcer, or inflammation includes providing a topical formulation comprising a carrier and a combination of active ingredients that includes at least one retinoid and at least one blood vessel dilator, and applying the topical formulation to the skin of the patient to cause healing, accelerated healing or prevention of the wound, ulcer or inflammation. Additional active ingredients may include a promoter of mitochondrial function or an antioxidant.

International Classification:

A61K 9/00
A61K 8/02

US Classification:

424400, 424401

Abstract:

The synthesis and use of bifunctional molecules to improve the topical and transdermal delivery efficiency of various types of therapeutic agents or agents designed to promote the transdermal delivery of those therapeutic agents either into the skin tissue or into the systemic circulation. Three major classes of molecules are covalently joined as bifunctional substances; chemical vasodilators, passive dermal penetration enhancers and therapeutic or diagnostic drugs. Chemical vasodilators may be delivered into the skin to increasing the blood flow in a tissue that has compromised circulation or they may be used as part of a delivery vehicle to promote the delivery of the drug. Passive dermal penetration enhancers are those chemicals that promote the passive penetration of drugs and other chemicals through the stratum corneum and epidermis of the skin tissue. Drugs and diagnostic agents are the third group of chemicals that are candidates for the linkage of molecules.

International Classification:

A61K 36/886

US Classification:

424725, 424744, 424401, 607 1

Abstract:

In a method for treating an affected skin region of a patient having a skin disorder, a vasodilation composition is applied to an affected skin region of a patient, the affected skin region exhibiting a skin disorder characterized by at least one abnormal blood vessel, and the affected skin region is then treated so as to non-invasively disrupt tissue architecture, e. g. , by inducing ischemia, of the at least one abnormal blood vessel. A vasoconstriction composition can then be applied to the skin region to cause vasoconstriction of the at least one blood vessel in order to promote healing.

Abstract:

A system and method is provided for rendering visual effects, or other types of effects, in response to an occurrence of one or more events. The visual effects may be rendered on a user desktop in order to alert or otherwise notify a user that the one or more events have occurred. The events may reflect incoming messages (e. g. , e-mails, instant messages, etc. ), application and/or system problems, downloads, appointments, alarms, updates, network status, or other software and/or hardware related events. The visual effects may be rendered on the desktop to subtly notify the user when an event of interest occurs.
