Title: Genetic analysis by sequence-specific sorting
Inventor: BRENNER SYDNEY
IPC: C12N1/08
Filed: 2005-02-10
Abstract: The invention provides methods for sorting polynucleotides from a population based on predetermined sequence characteristics. In one aspect, the method of the invention is carried out by extending a primer annealed polynucleotides having predetermined sequence characteristics to incorporate a predetermined terminator having a capture moiety, capturing polynucleotides having extended primers by a capture agent that specifically binds to the capture moiety, and melting the captured polynucleotides from the extended primers to form a subpopulation of polynucleotides having the predetermined sequence characteristics. In another aspect, the method of the invention is carried out on a population of tagged polynucleotides so that after a subpopulation is selected, the members of the subpopulation may be simultaneously analyzed using the unique tags on the polynucleotides to convey analytical information to a hybridization array for a readout.

Title: Apparatus and method for the control of trailing wake flows
Inventor: YADLIN YORAM
IPC: B64C23/06
Filed: 2005-02-15
Abstract: A system and method for dissipating vortices (22) that form at the wingtips (20) on aircraft (10) and from other airfoils. A jet air stream (62) is discharged in a location at or proximate to the outer end portion (20) of the airfoil (14) into the vortex flow, and the jet air stream (62) is moved cyclically back and forth. The cyclic movement can be at lower or higher frequencies to alleviate at least in part intensity of the vortex (22) or accelerate instability of the vortex (22) which leads to vortex dissipation.
Patent CA-2557865-A1 (CA)
Title: Power supply device
Inventor: KATAYAMA JUNTA
IPC: B60L3/00
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: A cooling fan (30) of a secondary battery (10) and a cooling fan (40) of a DC/DC converter (20) are arranged in parallel to share the same air discharge path (80).  A temperature sensor (12) on an air intake side and a temperature sensor (14) on an air discharge side are attached to the secondary battery (10). When the cooling fan (30) is in failure, a temperature deviation between the air intake side and the air discharge side in the secondary battery (10) increases because a backflow component (95) of a discharge air (90) is generated through the discharge path (80) as the cooling fan (40) operates. Based on this phenomenon, when operation commands for both of the cooling fans (30, 40) are issued, the control circuit (50) senses a failure in the cooling fan (30) by monitoring the temperature difference between temperatures (Tb1, Tb2) detected by the temperature sensors (12, 14). Failure detection is thereby possible without providing a sensor at each of the cooling fans.

Title: System for rapid nucleic acid amplification and detection
Inventor: LEM JOHN
IPC: G01N21/27
Filed: 2005-04-15
Abstract: A system is provided for carrying out rapid nucleic acid amplification or other biological reactions requiring thermal cycling. The system of this invention incorporates at least two heating blocks, each having a groove for receiving a reaction vessel such that only a portion of the outer surface of the walls of the vessel are in direct contact with the heating block. The remaining portion of the outer surface of the walls of the reaction vessel remains exposed to ambient conditions. The reaction vessel comes into contact with only one heating block at a time either by movement of the vessel between the heating blocks or by movement of the heating blocks in relation to the vessel. The system of this invention provides rapid temperature cycling without the need for extended ramping times generally associated with single block designs, which include a single temperature block that is forced to heat and cool. Heating and cooling of the reaction using the system of the present invention is accomplished by the reaction vessel and heating blocks coming into thermal contact and reaching thermal equilibrium. The entire vessel need not be surrounded by the heating block, with at least one side of the vessel partially open to ambient conditions. As a result of the configuration of this system it is readily combined with detection systems, for example, fluorescence detection systems.

Patent CA-2577441-A1 (CA)
Title: Improved photosensitizer formulations and their use
Inventor: VOLKER ALBRECHT
IPC: A61K31/555
Filed: 2005-07-22
Abstract: A low concentration formulation for hydrophobic photosensitizers (PS) and improved method for photodynamic therapy ("PDT"). It was found that PDT  treatments using the disclosed low concentration formulations provide for more accurate, more efficient and more convenient dosing. It was found that the inventive formulation (1) reduces the time for a therapeutically effective level of photosensitizer to accumulate in diseased tissue and (2) reduces the time for achieving a sufficient ratio of photosensitizer in diseased tissue vs. healthy tissue. As a result, the formulation of the invention reduces the time interval between PS application/administration and irradiation (the drug-light interval or "DLI") and can provide for a "same day" PDT treatment option. The inventive formulation can be used for PDT treatment regimes where photosensitizers are administered in at least one preselected dose, including a low concentration therapy for PDT. In particular, when meta Tetra-Hydroxy-Phenyl Chlorin (m-THPC) is the photosensitizer then a concentration of 0.8 mg/ml to 0.04 mg/ml in a mixture of pure propylene glycol and ethanol in a 3:2 volume ratio accumulates in diseased tissue and differentiates between diseased tissue and normal tissue sufficiently quickly for 'one day' or overnight administration and activation treatment procedures to be possible.
