Title: Devices, solutions and methods for sample collection
Inventor: BIADILLAH YOUSSEF
IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 2012-06-19
Granted: 2016-08-25
Abstract: The disclosure relates to devices, solutions and methods for collecting and processing samples of bodily fluids containing cells (as well as embodiments for the collection, and processing and/or analysis of other fluids including toxic and/or hazardous substances/fluids). In addition, the disclosure relates generally to function genomic studies and to the isolation and preservation of cells from saliva and other bodily fluids (e.g., urine), for cellular analysis. With respect to devices for collection of bodily fluids, some embodiments include two mating bodies, a cap and a tube (for example), where, in some embodiments, the cap includes a closed interior space for holding a sample preservative solution and mates with the tube to constitute the (closed) sample collection device. Upon mating, the preservation solution flows into the closed interior space to preserve cells in the bodily fluid. The tube is configured to receive a donor sample of bodily fluid (e.g., saliva, urine), which can then be subjected to processing to extract a plurality of cells. The plurality of cells can be further processed to isolate one and/or another cell type therefrom. The plurality of cells, as well as the isolated cell type(s), can be analyzed for functional genomic and epigenetic studies, as well as biomarker discovery.

Title: A method and apparatus for facilitating delivery of anaesthetic
Inventor: DUNLOP COLIN
IPC: A61M16/12
Filed: 2012-11-19
Granted: 2017-03-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for facilitating anaesthesia, particularly in Re-Breather anaesthetic circuits. A problem with Re-Breather circuits is that their dynamic response can be relatively slow. The dynamic response is the response of the circuit to delivering changes of anaesthetic concentration. In current circuits, Fresh Gas containing anaesthetic is delivered into the circuit and may be substantially diluted by the gas already present in the circuit. It is therefore difficult to achieve a rapid increase of anaesthetic concentration for delivery to the patient. In the present invention, an accumulator is placed in the Re-Breather circuit to accumulate Fresh Gas containing anaesthetic as it is introduced into the circuit, adjacent an inhalation conduit to the patient. Fresh Gas containing high concentrations of anaesthetic is therefore immediately available to the patient.

Title: Novel oligonucleotide conjugates and use thereof
Inventor: CHAE JEIWOOK
IPC: C12N15/11
Filed: 2012-12-14
Granted: 2015-05-21
Abstract: The present invention provides a double helix oligo-RNA structure in which target-specific ligands are bonded to the double helix oligo-RNA structure in which high molecular compounds for improving the delivery of double helix oligo-RNA that can be valuably used in treating diseases, specifically, cancer, are covalently bonded. The present invention also provides a method for preparing the RNA structure and a target-specific double helix oligo-RNA delivery technology through said structure. Nanoparticles constituted by the double helix oligo-RNA structure to which ligands are bonded may efficiently deliver double helix oligo-RNA to a target, and thus may exhibit an activity of double helix oligo-RNA structure in a target cell even with an administration of double helix oligo-RNA of relatively lower concentration. The nanoparticles may prevent the delivery of non-specific double helix oligo-RNA to other organs and cells, and therefore, can be valuably used not only as a tool for double helix oligo-RNA for treating various diseases, specifically, cancer, but also as a new type of double helix oligo-RNA delivery system. The present invention also relates to hybrid conjugates in which a hydrophilic material and a hydrophobic material are connected to both ends of antisense oligonucleotide(ASO) through covalent bond so as to achieve in vivo stability of the ASO, and to a method for preparing the hybrid conjugates and to nanoparticles constituted by the conjugates. The conjugates between ASO and macromolecules according to the present invention may improve in vivo stability of ASO, and therefore, can efficiently deliver ASO for treatment into cells and may exhibit an activity of ASO even with an administration of a relatively lower concentration.

Abstract: A brushless DC motor, comprising a stator having paired stator teeth, a rotor having paired magnetic poles and a rotating shaft fixed in the center of the rotor, wherein each of the stator teeth is wound with a winding, in each cross section of the stator, the connecting line between the intersection point of a tooth top arc of the stator tooth and the tooth axis of the stator tooth and the center of the tooth top arc can form a mechanical eccentric angle 0 with the tooth axis of the stator tooth, which is more than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees. The tooth top circle of the stator tooth is designed to be an arc, which is eccentric relative to the rotating center of the rotor, such that the brushless DC motor can eliminate the starting "dead point" and start successfully; a driving current following the rule of sinusoidal wave also can be coordinated, to make air gap magnetic field change uniformly according to the rule of sinusoidal wave, thus reducing the torque ripple and the vibration noise.
