Abstract: When production testing a permeable first formation (4), fluid flowing out therefrom is subjected to a pressure measurement and a flow rate control . In order to avoid bringing up the fluid flowing out during the production te st to surface position where the fluid's inherent explosion and fire risk as we ll as poisonousness would cause substantial problems, a fluid flow path arrange d for fluid transfer between the formations (4, 6) is established between said first formation (4) to be production tested and a second permeable formation (6), said fluid flow path which, in a suitable apparatus, is constituted by a channel- forming pipe (8). From this channel second permeable formation (6) receives said flu id and keeps it for some time. In the position of use, the apparatus is assigne d sealing means, i.a. annulus packers (10, 11, 12) which are placed such that fluid flow between the formations (4, 6) is limited to only follow said fluid flow path.

Abstract: A hydraulic parking brake assembly for a railroad vehicle braking system comprising a hydraulic actuator capable of being mounted on or engagable with the braking system and a lever arrangement connected to the hydraulic actuator which moves in accordance with activation of the hydraulic actuator and initiates a braking sequence. The lever arrangement is associated with the force transfer lever of the air cylinder such that upon movement of the lever arrangement, a force is applied to this force transfer lever causing this force transfer lever to rotate in a counterclockwise direction to apply the appropriate forces to the push rod within the brake cylinder and to a force transmitting member within the braking system to effect activation of the parking brake assembly. A variety of hydraulic actuator mounting positions and lever arrangements are disclosed which are capable of initiating a braking sequence and effecting an activation of the parking brake.

Title: Single coil dual path dehumidification system
Inventor: MIERINS RAYMOND A
IPC: F24F3/14
Filed: 2000-08-25
Granted: 2002-07-16
Abstract: A dual path single coil dehumidification system is provided. The system includes a housing that is mounted onto the top of a building that is to be dehumidified. The system draws in outside air which is circulated along its own dedicated path. A cooling coil is disposed in the dedicated outside air path. The outside air therefore passes over the cooling coil and is dehumidified prior to being mixed with any other air. The system also draws in return air from the interior of the building. The system is arranged so that the return air is drawn over refrigeration units that are located in the building to cool the return air. The cooled return air is then drawn into the housing where it is mixed with the outside air only after the outside air passes over the cooling coil. The mixed dehumidified outside air and the cooled return air form a supply air stream that is delivered to the interior of the building.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided a precursor stent for implantation within the body of a patient, particularly for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms. The stent is designed to receive a pair of grafts placed side by side within the interior of the stent. The stent includes a substantially cylindrical and expandable member having a proximal end, a distal end, a longitudinal axis extending therebetween and an interior. The stent further includes an occlusive member attached to the expandable member. The occlusive member at least partially occludes a passageway or stent lumen which extends through the interior of the expandable member extending between its distal end and proximal end. The occlusive member has an opening extending therethrough designed to receive a guidewire for one of the grafts. Therefore, when the guidewire for the other graft is introduced, after deployment of the stent within a body, it will go through the portion of the interior not covered by the occlusive member. This helps to ensure proper side by side placement of the two grafts.

Title: Gene expression profiling of inflammatory bowel disease
Inventor: CHAKRAVARTI SHUKTI
IPC: C12Q1/6883
Filed: 2000-10-23
Granted: 2012-10-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for identifying and/or classifying patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), particularly patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Gene expression profiling shows broad and fundamental differences in the pathogenic mechanism of UC and CD. The subject method is based on the findings that certain genes are differentially expressed in intestinal tissue of IBD patients compared with related normal cells, such as normal colon cells. That change can be used to identify or classify IBD cells by the upregulation and/or downregulation of expression of particular genes, alterations in protein levels or modification, or changes at the genomic level (such as mutation, methylation, etc), e.g., an event which is implicated in the pathology of inflammatory bowel diseases.

Abstract: A novel game board comprises a base board (100) with rotating tiers (105, 405, 410, and 415) which rotate on a shaft (430) and bearings (402, 404, and 407) or a lazy susan (115), a pointer 120 or a rotating pointer knob (425) which points at numbers (305) and game fields (310) on a tier (300). Progress through the game is indicated by individual players' tokens (135). Game cards and play money (140, 320, 325, 330, and 335) are also provided. Multiple results can arise from the same players' moves. Hidden game fields (700) under the edges of square or rectangular tiers (405, 410, and 415) provide added excitement. Instructions in the game fields (300, 406, etc.) can apply to a single player or to all players simultaneously, resulting in advantages or disadvantages for one or all. No dice are used to play, only a rotating pointer knob (425) or a rotating tier 105 with a stationary pointer (120) are required to urge progress through the game. The same mechanical arrangement is applicable in a variety of games, resulting in an economy of scale for manufacturers.

Title: Telomerase reverse transcriptase transcriptional regulatory sequences
Inventor: LICHTSTEINER SERGE
IPC: A61K35/76
Filed: 2000-02-04
Granted: 2004-08-03
Abstract: Telomerase reverse transcriptase is part of the telomerase complex responsible for maintaining telomere length and increasing the replicative capacity of progenitor cells. Telomerase activity is turned off in mature differentiated cells, but is turned back on again in hyperplastic diseases, including many cancers. This disclosure provides regulatory elements that promote transcription in cells that express telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT).  Oncolytic viruses are described, in which a toxin or a genetic element essential for viral replication is placed under control of the TERT  promoter. As a result, the virus replicates preferentially in cells expressing TERT, and selectively lyse cancer cells. The viral constructs of this invention hold considerable promise for the treatment of previously intractable malignancies.
