Title: Oligonucleotide screening assay
Inventor: NELSON NORMAN C
IPC: C12Q1/6816
Filed: 1994-07-15
Abstract: The invention features a method for assaying the ability of an oligonucleotide to form a hybrid with a target nucleic acid sequence. The featured assay comprises the following steps: (a) contacting a test sample containing a target nucleic acid sequence with an oligonucleotide; (b) treating the test sample with a duplex-altering agent; (c) contacting the treated test sample with a labeled probe under stringent hybridization conditions, wherein the probe can hybridize to non-altered target nucleic acid sequence such that the probe label is protected from subsequent chemical inactivation but the probe cannot hybridize to altered target nucleic acid sequence in a manner which would protect the probe label from subsequent chemical inactivation; and (d) measuring the hybridization of the probe to non-altered target nucleic acid sequence by measuring the amount of protected label. Also described is an assay to measure the ability of a ribozyme to cleave a target nucleic acid sequence, and an assay to measure the ability of an agent to alter nucleic acid.

Title: Packet data communication system
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1992-08-07
Abstract: A packet data transmission system is used to link a number of remote hand-held data-gathering units (15) such as bar code readers to a central computer (10) which maintains a database management system. Data packets are sent from the remote units by an RF link to intermediate base stations (13), then sent by the base stations to the central computer (10) by a serial link. Direct sequence spread spectrum modulation is used for the RF link. The remote hand-held units (15) initiate an exchange using RF transmission to and from the base stations (13), receiving only during a rigid time window following a transmission from the remote unit. The base stations (13) cannot initiate communication to the remote units, but instead send data to the remote units (15) only as part of the exchange. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Kits and compositions are provided for the treatment and repair of defects in the cartilage or bone of humans and other animals as in full-thickness defects in joints. A matrix having pores large enough to allow cells to populate the matrix and to form blood vessels is used to fill the defect in bone. The matrix filling the bone defect contains an angiogenic factor and also contains an osteogenic factor in an appropriate delivery system. A matrix having pores sufficiently large to allow cartilage repair cells to populate the matrix is used to fill a defect in cartilage to induce cartilage formation. The matrix filling the defect in cartilage contains a proliferation agent and also contains a transforming factor in an appropriate delivery system. The matrix may also contain a chemotactic agent to attract cartilage repair cells.
