Inventor: PINKEL DANIEL
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1990-07-18
Abstract: Methods and compositions for staining based upon nucleic acid sequence that employ nucleic acid probes are provided. Said methods produce staining patterns that can be tailored for specific cytogenetic analyses. Said probes are appropriate for in situ hybridization and stain both interphase and metaphase chromosomal material with reliable signals. The nucleic acid probes are typically of a complexity greater than 50 kb, the complexity depending upon the cytogenetic application. Methods and reagents are provided for the detection of genetic rearrangements. Probes and test kits are provided for use in detecting genetic rearrangements, particularly for use in tumor cytogenetics, in the detection of disease related loci, specifically cancer, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and for biological dosimetry.      Methods and reagents are described for cytogenetic research, for the differentiation of cytogenetically similar but genetically different diseases, and for many prognostic and diagnostic applications. Further provided is a method of preparing and applying chromosome-specific single-stranded nucleic acid probes to double stranded target DNA.

Patent CA-2451802-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOLDFARB ERIC A
IPC: A61B17/068
Filed: 2002-06-27
Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices (100) for grasping (106), and optional repositioning and fixation of the valve leaflets (LF) to treat cardiac valve regurgitation, particularly mitral valve regurgitation. Such grasping will typically be atraumatic providing a number of benefits. For example, atraumatic grasping may allow repositioning of the devices relative to the leaflets and repositioning of the leaflets themselves without damage to the leaflets. However, in some cases it may be necessary or desired to inclu de grasping which pierces or otherwise permanently affects the leaflets. In som e of these cases, the grasping step includes fixation (115).

Title: Apparatus for regulating the gas/air ratio for a pre-mixing combustion device
Inventor: STROEHLE WERNER
IPC: F23D14/64
Filed: 2004-04-16
Abstract: The apparatus has a pneumatic controller, which controls the pressure in a gas conduit (1) in dependence on the pressure in an air conduit (2). Provided downstream of the regulator is a mixing device (4), which has a venturi-like mixing chamber (7). Extending into the inlet opening of the mixing chamber (7) is a nozzle (8), which is connected to the air conduit (2). Defined between the nozzle (8) and the edge (9) of the inlet opening of the mixing chamber (7) is an annular gap (10), which is connected to the gas conduit (1). Also operating in the air conduit (2) is a conical member (11) which is actuated by a linear motor (12). The mixture is withdrawn from the mixing chamber (7) by a fan (5), whose speed is controllable, and fed to the combustion device. The adjusting motor (12) for the conical member (11) operates in dependence on a signal from a sensor, which detects changes in the gas quality, the air pressure and/or the combustion air temperature. The cross-section of the nozzle (8) connected to the air conduit (2) is blocked to a greater or lesser extent in dependence thereon in order to superimpose the sensor regulation on the pneumatic regulation.

Filed: 2003-02-12
Abstract: An iterative software development environment is provided to perform modified dependency analyses for use in building a target file and all the files on which it depends from one or more source files using a set of prioritized build rules (402). In one embodiment, the build rules indicate how different types of target files can be generated from different source file types. A given target file type may be associated with several rules (402), each having different priority, for building the target from different source file types. In one embodiment, if more than one source file exists that can be used to generate a given target file, the rule with the highest priority is used (403). In one embodiment, the build environment identifies how to generate a particular target file by identifying the highest priority rule for which an associated source file type exists. Moreover, the development environment identifies the presence of a new source file types previously used in the generation of the target file. In one embodiment of the invention, the target file is rebuilt if such a new source file is identified, or if one or more source files previously used to build the target file are determined to have been modified more recently than that indicated by the build date/time of the target file itself.
