Title: Compositions and methods for the inference of pigmentation traits
Inventor: FRUDAKIS TONY
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-05-28
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for inferring a genetic pigmentation trait of a human subject from a nucleic acid sample or a polypeptide sample of the subject, and compositions for practicing such methods. The methods of the invention are based, in part, on the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that, alone or in combination, allow an inference to be drawn as to a genetic pigmentation trait such as hair shade, hair color, eye shade, or eye color, and further allow an inference to be drawn as to race. A  method of the invention can be performed, for example, by identifying in a nucleic acid sample at least one pigmentation-related haplotype allele of at least one pigmentation gene, and preferably a combination of pigmentation related haplotypes alleles.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil d'enregistrement et d'analyse de l'allure d'un animal. Cet appareil peut consister en un système d'imagerie d'allure. Ce système comprend une piste de courroie mobile sur laquelle un sujet peut déambuler. Un dispositif d'imagerie est installé sous la piste de courroie afin d'enregistrer le contact entre au moins un membre du sujet et la piste de courroie. Ce sujet peut déambuler le long de la piste de courroie à un emplacement relativement stable situé au-dessus du dispositif d'imagerie pendant que la piste de courroie défile, le dispositif d'imagerie peut ainsi enregistrer le contact avec le sujet. L'invention porte aussi sur un procédé d'enregistrement de l'allure d'un sujet en mouvement. Ce procédé consiste à repérer le sujet sur une piste de courroie mobile. Le sujet est poussé à déambuler le long de la piste de courroie mobile à la même vitesse environ que la piste de courroie mobile, pendant que cette dernière défile, si bien que l'emplacement du sujet ne change pratiquement pas. Le contact créé par au moins un membre du sujet avec la piste de courroie est enregistré au moyen d'un dispositif d'enregistrement situé sous la piste de courroie. Une autre analyse cinématique peut être effectuée sur l'allure du sujet. Le procédé d'enregistrement peut également inclure la transmission des images d'allure à un appareil de calcul. Cet appareil de calcul peut identifier des données d'images d'empreintes de pas, et filtrer tout bruit indésirable. Ledit appareil de calcul peut également poursuivre l'analyse cinétique et calculer des informations physiologiques relatives au sujet.

Title: Non-fluorocarbon oil and grease barrier methods of application and packaging
Inventor: EGAN PHILIP A
IPC: D21H27/10
Filed: 2002-12-11
Abstract: A non-fluorocarbon oil and grease barrier packaging for storing materials, particularly products that need oil and grease resistant characteristics. The barrier packaging does not contain fluorocarbons, which improves the environmental rating of the oil and grease barrier packaging. The packaging is made by applying an acrylate based overprint varnish (11) to a substrate (115) and then curing the overprint varnish (11) with a curable energy source (117), which regulates a cross-link density of the overprint varnish (11).  Application can be flexography, rotogravure, or either rod or blade coated.  The overprint varnish (11) possesses oil and grease resistant characteristics, which allows packaging producers to forego use of oil and grease resistant coated substrates in their packaging manufacturing processes.
