Title: Method and apparatus for treating fluids
Inventor: ROMANYSZYN MICHEAL T
IPC: B01F25/60
Filed: 2002-12-09
Granted: 2005-09-15
Abstract: In a method and apparatus for treating fluids, a pump delivers a fluid flow from a fluid source to a manifold. The manifold divides the fluid flow into first and second fluid flows, which are delivered from the manifold to a housing. The housing includes therein a first vortex nozzle positioned in opposed relationship to a second vortex nozzle. The first fluid flow enters the first vortex nozzle to create a first rotating fluid flow, and the second fluid flow enters the second vortex nozzle to create a second rotating fluid flow. The first and second vortex nozzles impinge the first and second rotating fluid flows in a collision chamber, thereby treating the fluid.

Abstract: A circuit (100) for processing radio frequency signals includes a substrate (50) where the circuit can be placed. The substrate can be a meta-material and can incorporate at least one dielectric layer (20, 30, or 40). The circuit such as a three port circuit and at least one ground can be coupled to the substrate. The dielectric layer can include a first region (40) with a first set of substrate properties and a second region (20) with a second set of substrate properties. Substrate properties can include permittivity and permeability. A portion (32 or 46) of the three port circuit can be selectively coupled to the second region. The permittivity and/or permeability of the second region can be higher than the permittivity and/or permeability of the first region. The increased permittivities and/or permeabilities can reduce a size of the three port circuit and effect a change in a variety of electrical characteristics associated with the three port circuit. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for De novo detection of sequences in nucleic acids:target sequencing by fragmentation
Inventor: CANTOR CHARLES R
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-04-08
Granted: 2010-09-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining nucleic acid sequences of a template nucleic acid that requires no prior knowledge of the nucleic acid sequence present in the template nucleic acid. The method is based on combining information about the mass of a fragment, the mass of any one nucleotide and the combinations thereof, and the sequence specificity of a nucleotide cutter, either enzymatic or chemical cutter, to determine a sequence of a nucleic acid fragment. This method allows for de novo detection of sequences in a target nucleic acid without requiring any prior sequence information. This method is called Partial Sequencing by Fragmentation (PSBF) and it works by fragmenting a target into oligo- or polynucleotides whose masses or lengths are uniquely associated with known sequences. The identities of these sequences are determined solely by the specific fragmentation method used, and are always independent of the target. PSBF can be implemented using electrophoresis, mass spectrometry or any other method that can be used to distinguish the size of the cut nucleic acid sequence fragments.

Abstract: A method and assay kit for determination of thymidine kinase (TK) activity in a biological sample, such as blood, serum, plasma, Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF), pleural fluid, ascites, tissues, cells and extracts thereof, is described. The method comprises contacting, in a buffer, a Basic Reaction Mixture comprising: solid surface-attached primer and/or template, a modified deoxy nucleoside, such as BromodeoxyUridine, IododeoxyUridine, Fluorodeoxy- Uridine or VinyldexoyThymidine as a kinase enzyme substrate, a phosphate donor, a nucleotide polymerizing enzyme, and a kinase enzyme source devoid of TK activity, such as a yeast extract, with the biological sample. After incubation the amount of modified deoxy nucleoside that has been incorporated into the solid surface-attached primer and/or template, is determined and the TK activity present in the biological sample is directly proportional to the amount of incorporated modified deoxy nucleoside. The method and assay kit are useful in the diagnosing, prognosis monitoring of disease progression and treatment effects of cell-proliferation disorders or diseases, such as cancer, and in the screening of compounds, e.g. new drug candidates, affecting enzymatic pathways, which may obstruct the formation of thymidine phosphates or interfere with nucleic acid synthesis.
