Patent CA-2326401-C (CA)
Title: Molecular regulatory circuits to achieve sustained activation of genes of interest by a single stress
Inventor: VOELLMY RICHARD
IPC: C12Q1/6897
Filed: 1999-05-04
Granted: 2010-05-11
Abstract: The exposure of cells, tissues and organs to "stress", such as elevated temperature, stimulates production of active heat stress transcription factors (HSF), which in tum, induce expression of genes regulated by stress promoters. Normally, the activity of stress promoters declines after cells, tissues and organs are returned to a normal condition. Mutant forms of HSF, however, can constitutively transactivate stress genes, in the absence of stress. By taking advantage of such mutant HSF, molecular circuits can be devised to provide a sustained expression of a gene of interest using a single application of stress. One form of molecular circuit comprises (a) a first nucleic acid molecule that comprises a gene encoding a transcription factor and a promoter activatable by stress and by the transcription factor, wherein the stress-activatable promoter and the transcription factor gene are operably linked, and (b) a second nucleic acid molecule that comprises a gene of interest and a second promoter activatable by the transcription factor, wherein the second promoter and the gene of interest are operably linked.

Filed: 2000-10-11
Granted: 2009-09-01
Abstract: A latching-valve system (10) includes a piezoelectric transducer (44) mounted on its housing (16). To change the valve's state, a microcontroller (54) causes a valve driver (58) to drive current through the actuator's coil (12). It continues driving current through the coil (12) until the transducer's output reaches a magnitude characteristic of the disturbance that typically results when the actuator's armature (22) reaches the end of its travel. At that point, the microcontroller (54) stops driving current through the coil. If the characteristic sound does not occur within a predetermined duration, the microcontroller (54) causes a voltage-multiplier circuit (Q1, L1, D1) to increase the voltage that the valve driver (58) applies to the coil.

Title: Non-invasive screening of skin diseases by visible/near-infrared spectroscopy
Inventor: MCINTOSH LAURA M
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 2000-10-05
Granted: 2011-04-12
Abstract: A non-invasive tool for skin disease diagnosis would be a useful clinical adjunct. The purpose of this study was to determine whether visible/near-infrared spectroscopy can be used to non-invasively characterize skin diseases. In-vivo visible- and near-infrared spectra (400-2500 nm) of skin neoplasms (actinic keratoses, basal cell carcinomata, banal common acquired melanocytic nevi, dysplastic melanocytic nevi, actinic lentigines and seborrheic keratoses) were collected by placing a fiber optic probe on the skin. Paired t-tests, repeated measures analysis of variance and linear discriminant analysis were used to determine whether significant spectral differences existed and whether spectra could be classified according to lesion type. Paired t-tests showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between normal skin and skin lesions in several areas of the visible/near-infrared spectrum. In addition, significant differences were found between the lesion groups by analysis of variance. Linear discriminant analysis classified spectra from benign lesions compared to pre-malignant or malignant lesions with high accuracy. Visible/near-infrared spectroscopy is a promising non-invasive technique for the screening of skin diseases.
