Title: Apparatus for implementing a game of chance using three cross-interactive playing boards
Inventor: DUNAEVSKY VLADIMIR
IPC: G07F17/32
Filed: 2006-08-22
Abstract: An apparatus and method for playing a version of a Cubis video game is provided. Using a computer terminal connected to a network, such as, for example, the Internet, a player places a bet. Three faces of a three- dimensional cube are displayed on the computer terminal. Each face includes N2 squares arranged in a NxN arrangement, where N is a whole number greater than one. For an exemplary embodiment in which N=5, the faces are configured so that there are ten columns of ten squares and five rows of ten squares. One of an ordinary symbol, a multiplier symbol, or a bomb symbol is displayed in each of the 75 squares. The computer determines whether any winning combinations are present, and provides a credit to the player according to the winning combination. When either a winning combination or a bomb symbol is present, certain squares are eliminated. Eliminated squares are refilled by shifting the remaining squares and then randomly generating new symbols. The game continues until there are no winning combinations and no bomb symbols.

Title: Radioimaging moieties coupled to peptidase-binding moieties for imaging tissues and organs that express peptidases
Inventor: ZIMMERMAN CRAIG
IPC: A61K51/00
Filed: 2007-08-29
Abstract: Conjugates, methods and kits are described for imaging tissues and organs that express one or more peptidases. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a series of di-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (D) ligands, which can bind M(CO)3 + [M = Tc or Re], were coupled to lisinopril (L). Aliphatic tethers with varying number of methylene groups (3, 4, 5, and 7; D(C4)L, D(C5)L, D(C6)L, and D(C8)L, respectively) were utilized, with in vitro inhibitory activity increasing with increasing number of methylene groups. The D(C8)L conjugate was observed to be significantly more potent than D(C4)L. In vivo specificity for ACE was studied in both tissue distribution and gamma imaging studies, demonstrating localization in tissues with high ACE content. Localization was blocked by pretreatment with lisinopril.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus that use an electric field for improved biological assays. The electric field is applied across a device having wells, which receive reactants, which carry a charge. The device thus uses a controllable voltage source between the first and second electrodes, which is controllable to provide a positive charge and a negative charge to a given electrode. By controlled use of the electric field charged species in a fluid in a fluid channel are directed into or out of the well by an electric field between the electrodes. The present method involves the transport of fluids, as in a microfluidic device, and the electric field-induced movement of reactive species according to various assay procedures, such as DNA sequencing, synthesis or the like.
