Title: Method and apparatus for navigating an image using a touchscreen
Inventor: FALVO BARRY P
IPC: H04N5/44
Filed: 2003-04-25
Granted: 2008-01-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus for navigating an image viewed on a display screen (320). The image is controlled by a processor (215) that receives navigational commands selected on a touchscreen (205) of an auxiliary display device (200).  The touchscreen (205) is partitioned into a plurality of navigational control areas (210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280). Each navigational control area is associated with a different navigational command. When one of the navigational control areas of the touchscreen (205) is selected, the navigational command associated with the selected navigational control area is transmitted to the processor (215). The processor (215) receives and executes the transmitted navigational command to navigate the image. The boundaries of the control areas are normally hidden from view, but can be revealed on the touchscreen (205) in response to a user input.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining whether a dog is an extensive metabolizer or a poor metabolizer in the rate of drug metabolism, by preparing a DNA sample from a dog, and determining a base corresponding to a base at position 1117 of a canine CYP1A2 gene (i.e., at position 87 of exon 4).  According to the method, a CYP1A2 gene diagnosis of dogs (particularly beagles) used in a pharmacological effect test or a toxicity test can be rapidly carried out prior to the test, and thus the dogs can be easily divided into a group having a normal metabolic ability (an extensive metabolizer group) and a group having a low metabolic ability (a poor metabolizer group).
