Title: Targeted and regional cellular ablation in zebrafish
Inventor: MUMM JEFFREY S
IPC: A01K67/027
Filed: 2004-03-12
Abstract: A system including: (i) a methodology for targeted cellular ablation in zebrafish; (ii) a methodology for regional cellular ablation in zebrafish.  These methodologies are used to identify genetic components that regulate cellular regeneration and to identify drug compounds that influence cellular regeneration for the purpose of developing therapies for degenerative conditions. Transgenic zebrafish disclosed herein contain transgenic constructs composed of: (i) cell and/or tissue-type specific regulatory elements (e.g. promoter and/or enhancer regions) which delimit expression of operably linked gene product(s) to discrete cellular populations; (ii) a gene product that promotes cellular ablation composed of a pro-drug conversion system capable of converting nontoxic pro-drugs, which is expressed alone or in connection with; (iii) a reporter gene product that allows selective detection of cells expressing the reporter -both prior to (initial cells) and following cellular ablation (regenerated cell). Here we describe genetic delivery of a pro-drug converting system in order to enable targeted cellular ablation in zebrafish. Transgenic zebrafish of this invention provide a high-throughput system for genetic dissection of the process of cellular regeneration and, compound screening for the discovery of drugs capable of promoting cellular regeneration.

Title: Airless spray pump system and method for spraying a binder solution with suspended particles
Inventor: RIOUX LAURIER
IPC: B05B9/043
Filed: 2005-09-22
Abstract: -20- An airless spray pump system and method for spraying a binder solution having suspended particles which are non-abrasive for coating a product therewith is described. A reservoir contains a supply of the binder solution and is continuously mixed to maintain the solution in a homogeneous state. An inlet check valve is connected to the reservoir and the check valve has an outlet port which is connected to a pump. The check valve is operated by an upstroke of a piston of the pump to draw a volume of a solution through the check valve and into the pump while the pump supplies, under high pressure, a solution in a transfer chamber thereof to a pressure control unit of a spray apparatus. When the piston of the pump is in a return stroke, it forces the check valve to close under pressure and simultaneously operates a transfer check valve of the pump to open to transfer solution into the transfer chamber and forces a portion of the solution to the pressure control unit. When the solution is displaced through the inlet check valve and the transfer check valve of the pump, it causes a washing action of the parts in contact with the solution to prevent particles in the solution from sticking or settling down on these parts.

Title: Dispenser with suction chamber
Inventor: CIAVARELLA NICK E
IPC: A47K5/12
Filed: 2005-11-18
Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a soap product includes a soap pump, a dispensing nozzle, and an expandable and contractible suction chamber. The dispensing nozzle has an outlet for dispensing soap, and the suction chamber is disposed between the soap pump and the dispensing nozzle. The suction chamber is expandable and contractible in volume and is predisposed to an expanded volume. Actuation of the soap pump causes the suction chamber to contract to a contracted volume that is less than the expanded volume to which it is predisposed, and soap is forced through the suction chamber and the dispensing nozzle to the outlet where it is dispensed. Soap that has not been dispensed at the outlet resides in the dispensing nozzle after actuation of the soap pump, and this residual soap is sucked back into the suction chamber during a return of the suction chamber to the expanded volume to which it is predisposed.

Title: Gaming apparatus
Inventor: MOSHAL MARTIN
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2004-05-25
Abstract: A gaming apparatus includes a player terminal operable by a player to simulate a slots game, and a random event generator for generating a random event upon which an outcome of the slots game is based. The slots game has a plurality of successful outcomes, each successful outcome causing the player to win a corresponding prize. A wagering facility enables the player to place a wager on the occurrence of any specific successful outcome of the slots game, or to make a plurality of different wagers, each corresponding to a different specific one of the successful outcomes of the slots game. The different specific successful outcomes include a favourable outcome and a number of intermediate outcomes. The player's prize corresponding to the favourable outcome is a jackpot prize, while that corresponding to an intermediate outcome is repayment of the player's wager at fixed odds inversely proportional to the probability of that intermediate outcome occurring. The wagering facility enables the player to designate a size of an overall wager, the overall wager being applied as equal wagers on the occurrence of each one of the successful outcomes of the slots game.
