Abstract: Cette invention a trait à des méthodes de détection d'un polynucléotide mutant dans un mélange composé de polynucléotides mutants, de polynucléotides du type sauvage et de polynucléotides sans rapport. La méthode utilise une amorce d'extension complémentaire d'une première séquence cible chez les polynucléotides du type sauvage et mutants. Elle utilise également une sonde complémentaire d'une seconde séquence cible, mais uniquement avec les polynucléotides du type sauvage. L'extension des amorces fusionnées avec la première séquence cible chez les polynucléotides mutants permet d'obtenir des produits longue extension. L'extension des amorces fusionnées avec la première séquence cible chez les polynucléotides du type sauvage est bloquée par la sonde fusionnée avec la seconde séquence cible. Des produits longue extension ou sans extension sont obtenus. On isole ces produits à extension et on les utilise dans une réaction en chaîne de la polymérase (PCR). La PCR amplifie préférentiellement les produits longue extension.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif conçu pour l'analyse spectrale de signaux optiques, basé sur l'effet de diffusion Brillouin stimulée, ainsi qu'un procédé de mesure associé qui fait appel à l'amplification optique des signaux sous l'effet de la diffusion Brillouin. L'effet de diffusion Brillouin permet de procéder à l'amplification optique sélective d'une composante déterminée du spectre optique du signal à analyser, que nous appellerons signal problème, afin de le mesurer avec une résolution, une sensibilité et une latitude de mesure déterminées. Le signal problème est introduit dans une fibre optique conjointement avec un signal optique de bande étroite, que nous appellerons signal sonde, centré dans une longueur déterminée d'onde, qui se propage dans le sens contraire à celui du signal problème, ce qui entraîne une interaction des deux signaux à l'intérieur de la fibre, sous l'effet Brillouin.

Abstract: An inhaler for inhaling powdered pharmaceutical compositions from capsules is described, the capsules being plalced before use in a capsule holder disposed in the inhaler. Once the capsule has been inserted in the capsule holder the patient can press an actuating member (7) which can be moved out of a resting position, thereby cooperating with at least one pin which can stuck into the capsule holder. The capsule is pierced by means of the minimum of one pin and the pharmaceutical composition is released. The aim is to further improve such inhalers in terms of their operating comfort. This aim is achieved according to the invention with an embodiment of an inhaler wherein the actuating member is constructed as a double function actuating member (7) by means of which, in a first actuation, the closure element 914) can be unlatched from the lower part (1) in order to pivot the lid (13), and in a second actuation the mouthpiece (12) latched to the plate (9) can be released from the plate (9) such that the mouthpiece (12) can be pivoted away from the lower part (1). Moreover, the mouthpiece (12) which can be pivoted away is provided with a gripping aid (17) which ensures quick and reliable opening of the mouthpiece.

Inventor: BOLT ANDREW
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: The present invention is directed to the identification of markers that can be used to determine whether patients with cancer are clinically responsive or non-responsive to a therapeutic regimen prior to treatment. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of certain combinations of markers, wherein the expression of the markers correlates with responsiveness or non-responsiveness to a therapeutic regimen comprising proteasome inhibition.  Thus, by examining the expression levels of individual markers and those comprising a marker set, it is possible to determine whether a therapeutic agent, or combination of agents, will be most likely to reduce the growth rate of tumors in a clinical setting.

Title: Display panel for a door handle
Inventor: THOMPSON PETER J
IPC: G09F7/18
Filed: 2005-10-19
Abstract: The display panel has an outer wall to which a sign may be attached and an inner wall having a fastener composed of resiliently deformable material. Formed in the fastener is a slit defined by a pair of elongated longitudinally extending spaced apart edges between which an outer plate of a conventional door handle is received. The edges of the slit are biased by the deformable material into contact with the outer plate throughout substantially their entire length with resulting resistance to removal of the plate from between the edges. The plate may however be removed by the application of a force opposed to the bias of the resilient material for causing the slit to widen.   Once widened, the outer plate may be removed from between the edges.

Title: Drilling string torsional energy control assembly and method
Inventor: TAYLOR BRUCE L
IPC: E21B17/00
Filed: 2004-05-19
Abstract: The present invention provides a torsional energy control assembly and method for eliminating slip-stick and/or drill bit oscillations comprising axial and/or rotational oscillations. In one preferred embodiment, the assembly permits slippage between an upper portion of the drilling string and a lower portion of a drill string. The rotational control assembly may be installed at any desired position in the drill string. The rotational control assembly could also be utilized as a component of other drilling mechanisms such as a downhole drilling motor. The rotational control permits slippage while drilling for a selected time or selected rotational distance or other criteria to thereby release torsional energy in the drilling string which otherwise may produce damaging slip-stick torsional oscillations such as slip-stick. The rotational control assembly may, in one embodiment, comprise an on-off clutch whereby torque is either substantially completely transmitted or substantially not transmitted through the assembly for brief periods.

Title: Media storage and recycling system for automated banking machine
Inventor: EASTMAN JEFFREY
IPC: G07F19/00
Filed: 1999-09-07
Abstract: A media storage system for an automated banking machine (10) includes a flipper member (90, 178) which is rotationally movable to engage sheets. A gripper member (138, 182) is movably mounted relative to the flipper member. The flipper member further includes an arcuately extending slot (92, 180). The sheet extending in the slot is held in fixed engagement with the flipper member by the gripper member. Rotation of the flipper member to a releasing position causes the sheet to be engaged with a stop surface (160, 188) as the gripper member moves to release the sheet. Sheets released by the flipper member are positioned in a stack (94, 184). The flexible flap (160) engages each sheet after it has been released by the flipper member to conform the sheet to the stack. In alternative embodiments a flipper member (178) includes a picker portion (202). Picker portion is selectively operated to remove sheets from the stack.
