IPC: C12Q1/48
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: The invention relates to reporter molecules comprising: 1) at least one detection domain capable of emitting a signal; 2) at least one membrane anchoring domain, which promotes the association of the reporter molecule wi th a membrane; and at least one high specificity protease recognition site, whi ch may be cleavable by a caspase. Proteolysis of the reporter molecule at a hig h specificity protease recognition site elicits or alters a signal from the detection domain. Consequently, the reporter molecules of the invention are useful for detecting or determining high specificity protease activity and m ay be applied to methods of drug discovery, for phenotypic evaluation of cells,  including patient cells, and for tailoring a therapeutic program for treatin g a patient. Moreover, because caspases are intimately involved with programme d cell death, some embodiments of the invention are useful for monitoring apoptosis and effectors thereof.

Patent CA-2383437-A1 (CA)
Title: Enveloping body
Inventor: WEISS MARKUS
IPC: G09F7/20
Filed: 2000-08-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a covering body for masts of construction cranes, electricity lines, or the like with an outer covering which is designed to partially or totally encase a mast in the direction of extension and / or peripheral direction and which furthermore has at least one rigid inner support, with which the outer covering can be arranged to be spaced at least partially at a distance from the mast. Finally, a fastening device for fastening the inner support to the mast is provided. Such a covering body according to the invention is further developed in that the inner support, by means of the fastening device, can be connected to the mast rotatably adjustable in the peripheral direction and/or adjustable in the direction of extension and that a device for active and / or passive variation of position and / or geometry of the outer covering is provided.  A basic concept of the invention is not to make the covering body rigid, but to connect it to the mast so it can move, whereby it can react flexibly to differing loadings by the wind forces. As a result, the application of even covering bodies having large spatial dimensions is possible on free-standing masts.

Title: Heart valve carrier and rinse cage
Inventor: NUMAMOTO MICHAEL J
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2000-10-04
Abstract: A carrier for heart valves allows the removal of a heart valve from the carrier without manual manipulation. In addition, the carrier minimizes or substantially eliminates leaking of preserving fluid during transportation and storage. The carrier includes a jar, a rinse cage, and a holder to which a heart valve is attachable. The rinse cage includes a first engagement structure, for example, a channel, and the holder includes a second engagement structure, for example, a groove, complementary to the first engagement structure for releasably engaging therewith. A heart valve attached to the holder is disposed or suspended within the rinse cage when the engagement structures are engaged. A  heart valve attached to the holder is protected not only when within the jar but also when removed from the jar. The holder has a socket for engaging with a surgical handle used to remove the valve from the jar for rinsing and implantation. The carrier may include apparatus for limiting rotation of the holder relative to the rinse cage and rotation of the rinse cage relative to the jar, which apparatus allows a surgical handle to be securely and firmly attached to the holder with essentially one hand and without removing the valve from the jar. The jar includes a lid that may have a rotatable gasket and a flange. The jar may have an apex-like top surface for making a compressive seal against the gasket when the lid is tightened. The flange may have a vent for allowing gases between the gasket and the lid to escape during sterilization processes of the carrier.

IPC: G02F1/133
Filed: 2002-02-01
Abstract: A signal converting section 401 increases a transfer rate of an input image signal to be supplied to a liquid crystal panel 405 and, at the same time, also inserts a non-image signal for applying a predetermined voltage to liquid-crystal cells in space of the input image signal and supplies it as a picture-element signal to a source driver 403. To each picture cell, an input image signal and a non-image signal are sequentially written with positive or negative polarity. For all picture elements, after the input image signal is written, the non-image signal equal in polarity to the input image signal is always written.      Furthermore, after the non-image signal is written, an image signal opposite in polarity to the non-image signal is always written. Thus, when an image is displayed on the liquid crystal panel in OCB mode, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of back transition and carry out image display evenly.
