Patent CA-2381941-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MORRIS JOHN
IPC: C07K14/705
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: A novel strategy for monitoring both the expression and/or localization of a  transgene in a mammal is disclosed. A marker peptide and/or sodium iodide symporter is genetically fused to either the N-terminus or C-terminus of the  product of a transgene through a linker peptide which bears the recognition sequence of a host cell protease. Expression of the transgene results in release of the marker peptide into extracellular body fluid of the mammal in  proportion to the amount of transgene product. The level of the released marker peptide serves as an indicator of the level of transgene expression. Expression of the transgene confers the activity of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) to a host cell which expresses the transgene. Subsequent administration of labeled iodine results in transport of the labeled iodine into the cell bearing the NIS, which can then be localized and measured usin g standard imaging techniques. The system is particularly useful for monitorin g the expression and localization of therapeutic transgenes and production of the therapeutic gene products.

Title: Method for connecting ignitors in an ignition system
Inventor: AEBI WALTER
IPC: F42D1/055
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: The invention relates to an ignition system comprising a plurality of ignition circuits (2, 3, 4, 5). When connecting and logging of a logger occur for ignitors with respect to the bus lines (6, 7, 8, 9) said logger being connected to a blaster, errors can occur. Connection occurs especially in open-cast mining in conditions which initially do not appear damaging, particularly with respect to the insulation of the ignitors and the ignition lines. Errors can occur when data is being transferred, for example by loosing or altering the signal which is to be transferred or by infiltration of a signal from a foreign ignitor. According to the invention, an anlog manager (22) is installed which is in bi-directional contact with the loggers, the blaster and the log data transmitters of the logger which transmit the data from the ignitor to the logger. The anlog manager co-ordinates the logging of the ignitor to a respective bus line (6, 7, 8, 9), in addition to the programming of the ignitors, and verifies if an error free data transfer has taken place.
