Patent CA-2299432-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KASS MICHAEL
IPC: G06T13/20
Filed: 1998-07-29
Abstract: Three related methods are disclosed for defining smooth scalar fields on arbitrary polygonal meshes which can be consistently carried through the subdivision process allowing one to define and compute the value of scalar fields over an arbitrarily dense set of points on the limit surface. Applications of these techniques in computer graphics and computer animation include: (1) the definition of pseudo-coordinates for use in parametric shading including texture mapping; (2) the assignment of smoothly varying articulation weights over the control points of a model to more efficiently define the transformation of a highly detailed object or character under specific animation controls; and (3) the assignment of smoothly varying local parameters for specifying the local behavior of dynamic or quasi-static objects or surfaces.

Title: A monoclonal antibody against estrogen stimulated leucine aminopeptidase
Inventor: PULIDO-CEJUDO GABRIEL
IPC: C07K16/40
Filed: 2000-03-30
Abstract: The identification and characterization of risk factors and their molecular implications in the pathophysiology of human diseases such as cancer is essential for designing efficient diagnostic assays and therapeutic compounds. Estrogenic steroids, under normal physiological conditions, have been shown to play a critical function in several tissues. The response of such a variety of tissues to estrogen stimulation can explain in part its active role in the development and progression of different human diseases, particularly Breast Cancer. Searching for estrogen-responding cellular factors in parental cells of primary human breast carcinomas obtained from tumour biopsies an isoenzyme of putative Leucine Aminopeptidase (LAPase; EC 3.4.11.1) was idenditifed. Results have demonstrated that this marker is found to be elevated in the sera of women with invasive ductal and metastatic carcinomas. A monoclonal antibody against this cellular marker have been produced. This invention refers to the use of LAPase monoclonal antibodies for first line confimatory blood-based testing for Breast Cancer.

Inventor: HUANG WU-SHUN
IPC: A61M5/31
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: A safety syringe with a needle sleeve is provided. The needle sleeve is put around a cap of the syringe, such that the cap, a hub tightly fitted in the cap, and the needle sleeve together form a needle sleeve assembly, which allows the hub to temporarily locate closely before but not engaged into a neck portion of a barrel of the syringe, so that the syringe may be sterilized under high temperature without stress and thermal deformations at the joint of the hub and the barrel. When the cap is depressed in a predetermined manner, the hub and a cannula held thereto are caused to move backward and be stably retained to the neck portion of the barrel in an airtight manner. And when the cap is pulled forward again, it brings the needle sleeve along with it to separate from the hub to expose the cannula for injection. The needle sleeve may be provided with two stoppers to prevent the cap from being undesirably depressed. When the cap is turned to disengage from the stoppers of the needle sleeve, the cap may be depressed to push the hub into the barrel.

Patent CA-2322700-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COX GEORGE N III
IPC: C12Q1/6811
Filed: 2000-01-06
Abstract: The invention provides criteria and methods for selecting optimum subsequence(s) from a target for targeting by a zinc finger protein. Some of the methods of targetgene site selection seek to identify one or more target segments having a DNA motif containing one or more so-called D-able subsites having the sequence 5'NNGK3'. Other methods of the invention are directed to selection of target segments within target genes using a correspondence regime between different triplets of three bases and the three possible positions of a triplet within a nine-base site. In another aspect, the invention provides methods of designing zinc finger proteins that bind to a preselected target site. These methods can be used following the preselection of target sites according to the procedures and criteria described above. The methods of design use a database containing information about previously characterized zinc finger proteins.
