U.S. Patents Awarded to Inventors in Maryland (May 15)(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Targeted News Service Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 15 -- The following federal patents were awarded to inventors in Maryland. *** Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania Inventors Develop Patent for Method of Making an Armature ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 15 -- David J. Smith, Columbia, Md., John C. Stone, Queensbury, N.Y., Robert Tumberlinson, Glen Rock, Pa., and Earl M. Ortt, Bel Air, Md., have developed a patent (8,171,616) for a "method of making an armature." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "An armature for an electric motor has a lamination stack on a shaft with a commutator mounted on one end of the shaft. Magnet wires wound in slots in the lamination stack, the commutator and armature shaft are at least partially encapsulated in thermoset. The commutator has a commutator ring divided into a plurality of segments with slots between the segments that are filled with a second plastic when the commutator is made by molding a core of the second plastic, such as phenolic, in the commutator ring before the commutator ring is mounted on the armature shaft. Prior to molding the thermoset, the commutator ring is sealed. The seal prevents the thermoset from flowing into the slots between the commutator ring segments or over the commutator ring." The patent application was filed on Feb. 9, 2011 (13/023,854).

The co-inventors are Christina Furebring, Lund, Sweden, Johannes A.G. Van Strijp, Odijk, The Netherlands, Petrus J.A. Haas, Utrecht, The Netherlands, Anna Rosen, S. Sandby, Sweden, Karin Haraldsson, Lund, Sweden, Erika Gustafsson, Lund, Sweden, Lena Schultz, Bethesda, Md., and Cornelis P.M. Van Kessel, Bunnik, The Netherlands. The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "The present invention provides a polypeptide having a biological activity of the Chemotaxis Inhibitory Protein of Staphylococcus aureus (`CHIPS`), the polypeptide comprising a variant of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. Preferably, the polypeptide is a CHIPS variant wherein one or more of the following amino acids is modified: N31, S32, G33, L34, P35, K40, D42, R46, Y48, K50, G52, T53, K54, N55, S56, A57, Q58, K61, E67, K69, L76, N77, P79, D83, L90, K92, K100, K101, S104, K105, S107, Y108, N111 and G112. In a preferred embodiment, the polypeptide is less immunogenic hi humans than the wildtype CHIPS protein. The invention further provides methods of making and using such variant CHIPS polypeptides." The patent application was filed on April 20, 2007 (12/297,860).

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A method and system suitable for supporting wireless medical telemetry services (MTS) on a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). A DAS can provide wireless services including voice and data services using the same equipment. WMTS systems can include one or more active antenna units controlled by the MTS access point. The DAS includes control channels for transferring the MTS control and status information between the MTS access point and the antenna. The control channels can be transferred over a separate cable, or transferred using one or more intermediate frequency signals transferred over existing cables DAS between the MTS access point and the antenna. The control channels can be used to configure and control and receive status from the managed components of the DAS including active antennas, control the amplifiers used to process TDD signals, and control the switching of the diversity antenna systems."

Rosenfeld, Baltimore, and Michael Breslow Breslow, Lutherville, Md., for a "remote command center for patient monitoring." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A remote command center for providing services to geographically dispersed hospitalized patients. A datastore accessible to the remote command center receives patient data from geographically dispersed hospitalized patients. Monitored data elements of geographically dispersed hospitalized patients are also received at the remote command center and stored in the datastore. A smart alert module generates and applies patient specific rules to selected data elements. If a patient-specific rule for a hospitalized patient has been contravened, an alert is issued from the remote command center. A patient care module displays selected data elements of the hospitalized patients at the remote command center. A decision support module applies decision support algorithms to selected data elements of a hospitalized patient and to user input to provide patient care advice. Patient care advice comprises a diagnosis, a method of treatment, and a laboratory protocol. The decision support module may also write orders for medication, laboratory protocols and surgical procedures." The patent application was filed on March 4, 2005 (11/072,359).
