Patent about a new device for building fire escape | 20060219020: Pressure sensor having thin pressure sensing membrane

Sun, 6 Apr 2008 06:03:21 -0400

Once people are trapped in storied-building fires , they always have to wait for firefighters` rescue . However , lots of facts tell us that sometimes death always comes before rescue , that`s why there were always so many dead in storied-building fire . So how to help the people trapped to escape from the burning buildings as soon as possible and rescue themselves successfully without waiting , is just the only aim of my invention.

Pericardial Augmentation | 20040186522: Apparatus for pericardial augmentation

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 02:50:54 -0400

Development of a pericardial device engineered to augment electrical systole in heart failure requires the consent, cooperation and services of a large animal EP lab committed to prove or disprove disclosed theory. Theory suggests electrically ischemic regions of myocardium unreachable by vascular intervention can be addressed and measured inexpensively in performance terms EF (Ejection Fraction) and CO (Cardiac Output) by an active externally applied electrical web deployed in the pericardial space.

heart failure | 20040186522: Apparatus for pericardial augmentation

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 03:14:37 -0500

Humble Agent - I appreciate your notation of closure of the disclosed IP. As a small entity, I regret that I do not have the legal and financial resources to futher prosecute ownership of the contested IP.
Because you continue to run the IP on the WWW, it appears that you endorse the novelty in a claim that represents an external pacemaker that selectively depolarizes the myocardium from the "outside in" rather than the contemporary "inside out" prior art of intravascularly deployed pacemakers.
I would be most interested to remain as an observer as claims relative to pacemaker intervention in heart failure develop.

Infringment | 20060129171: Oral care implement

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 15:45:59 -0500

David,

The answer is "it depends". If you are looking to enforce your patent, then what you need to do is find examples of what Colgate is actually selling in stores, compare that to your claims, and if what they are selling has every limitation of your claims, then they should be getting a license from you.

On the other hand, if you want to make sure that Colgate doesn't get a patent on an invention that is at least obvious in light of your publication, then you need to monitor the examination their patent on the USPTO PAIR web site. If the examiner doesn't cite your patent, there are ways to bring your patent to the examiner's attention.

Does this help?

Pericardial Augmentation | 20040186522: Apparatus for pericardial augmentation

Sat, 15 Dec 2007 05:11:58 -0500

Please see prior work. An external electrical grid/non-blood exposed pacemaker in the pericardial space is posited as a means of addressing diastolic heart failure. Chagasic heart failure is an expedient model of this entity. Crosstalk between Dr Daniel Iosa from Cordoba, Argentina and Drs. Peskin and McQueen at the Courant Institute is suggested

Confused by Claim 1 | 20060015473: Dynamic partitioning of storage media for mixed applications

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 10:36:25 -0400

Claim1 includes the following express: a first partition having a first file system comprising (i) a plurality of first clusters each configured to store data having accesses faster than a first worst case data transfer rate and (ii) a first dedicated space not used by said plurality of first clusters... The said "dedicated space" is within the "first file system", and the "first file system comprises plurality of first clusters", but why the "first clusters not use the first dedicated space"?

This design is a ripoff of my own patent filed 8 months earlier: US 6,729,789. Is there any reason for Colgate not to request licensing rather than attempt to patent an already patented idea?

pericardial augmentation | 20040186522: Apparatus for pericardial augmentation

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 02:24:01 -0400

Imagine one is hopelessy lost in the deepest desert and a grand camel (or perhaps rodeo bull) named Systole walks up. If you can leap upon his back, the first few steps will likely be very stressful. If control is attained, one might make it back again. I have (unsuccessfully) discussed this application with several corporate entities and still need help once the signal is delivered from the grid (myocardial IT). I welcome further authorship in this endeavor from other inventors interested in computational applications, electrodes and field management as well as minimimalization of engineering measures (such as scarring, ablation or suturing) that degrade diastole. Help from the Courant Institute or similar sponsor is solicited. Thanks, Leslie A. Beben

Bogus claims | 20060219020: Pressure sensor having thin pressure sensing membrane

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 19:54:19 -0500

What exactly are these guys claiming - even though they have never built a product or reduced an idea to practice - that hasn't already been done in the 40+ years of MEMS pressure sensor industry? I question their motivation if their idea is to claim infringement.
