Patent CA-2328139-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NAGANO YUKIO
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2000-03-03
Abstract: A DNA fragment or a promoter for expressing a target gene specifically under photoinhibitory or dark conditions. A photoinhibitory promoter is obtained from the 5'- upstream region of a plant gene expressed specifically under photoinhibitory or dark conditions and the function of this promoter is analyzed in detail to thereby clarify the cis element sequence and the core sequence participating in the photoinhibitory expression. An expression cassette having a DNA fragment containing these sequences in the upstream of a target gene is constructed and this expression cassette is transferred into a plant cell or a plant. Thus, a plant cell or a plant wherein the target gene is expressed specifically under photoinhibitory or dark conditions can be obtained.

One aspect of the invention is the use of predried reagents in wells (24) on trays (14) onto which the slides are placed, especially the use of predried reagents which dissolve sequentially. Yet another aspect of the invention is the use of external controls placed directly on a microscope slide (70) in conjunction with a biological sample to be assayed. The external controls can be conveniently placed on a membrane (230) which can be affixed to the slide. A further aspect of the invention is a specially designed tray (400) to allow whole chromosome painting of all chromosomes of a cell sample on a single slide. The invention is also drawn to a coverslip (500) with concave wells (530) which act as reaction chambers when placed against a slide (510) and filled with buffer. Preferably a reagent is predried in the well (530). A further aspect of the invention is a method of reacting samples on slides (600) by placing them into a reaction chamber together with a coverslip (630) which has a predried reagent on it.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for enhanced computer-aided analysis of biological response data is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, biological datasets are graphically selected by a user from a first active biological viewer window on a user computer display and projected onto one or more other active biological viewers on the display. The selected data is highlighted in the destination biological viewers using contrast or color differentiation from other data appearing in the destination windows. In another preferred embodiment, hierarchical cluster trees from biological signal profiles are presented in a hyperbolic display fashion. In another preferred embodiment, biological menu and submenu items utilized by the user computer are not stored in the user computer, but rather are stored in a central biological response database. Biological menus and submenus are generated at startup time based on queries to the central biological response database, allowing for increased flexibility, changeability, and customization of the biological menus. In another preferred embodiment, correlation data between biological signal profile data is precomputed when the experiments are added to the central biological response database, eliminating the need for real time computation of correlation coefficients by the user computer.

Title: Body piercing jewellery substitute and method of application
Inventor: ANDERSON DWAYNE
IPC: A44C7/00
Filed: 2001-09-24
Abstract: A body piercing jewellery substitute 10 includes a body 20 having an internal cavity 30. A rim 22 frames the opening 23 to the internal cavity. The rim is positioned on a damp body surface, such as moistened skin or the user's tongue. By creating an area 500 of reduced pressure around the body 20, air is removed from the internal cavity 30, lowering the pressure within the body 20. Where the body piercing jewellery substitute is applied to the tongue, the area of reduced pressure may be created by sucking orally. Where the body piercing jewellery substitute is located on the cheek for example, the reduced pressure may be created by use of a suction cup. When pressure is restored to normal levels around the body, the rim adheres to the damp body surface due to the partial vacuum within the internal cavity. The body piercing jewellery substitute may then moved to a different location by sliding it on the damp body surface. The body piercing jewellery substitute may easily be removed by breaking the seal between the rim and the damp body surface.

IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 2001-09-20
Abstract: Generally speaking, all golf car battery terminals built before approximately 1997, do not have the capability of automatically restarting the battery charger once the batteries are fully charged. The Battery Manager is designed for managing the storage and recharging of golf car batteries, while unattended, over extended periods of time. This is accomplished by restarting the battery charger at a predetermined state of discharge. It's use is not limited to just golf car batteries. It is not a lead-acid battery charger & it will not rejuvenate old or dead batteries.      It is designed to extend good battery life. It is installed in the circuit between the charger and the battery bank, and RESTARTS the charger when the battery voltage drops to (in this case) 27 volts DC., before sulfating sets in.      It is not a timer.
