Patent CA-2608068-A1 (CA)
Title: Novel steroid 5 .alpha.-reductase
Inventor: MOHLER JAMES L
IPC: C12N9/02
Filed: 2006-05-10
Abstract: The invention provides an isolated, novel steroid 5.alpha.-reductase enzyme termed SRD5AIIL The protein has an estimated molecular weight of 37 kDa and is capable of converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone at a pH of about 7Ø Also provided is a method for identifying inhibitors of SRD5 AIII by contacting SRD5 AIII with a test compound and measuring the activity of the enzyme. A reduced activity relative to a control indicates that the test compound is an inhibitor of SRD5AIII. A method is also provided for detecting androgen stimulated prostate cancer or recurrent prostate cancer in an individual. The method comprises obtaining a prostate biopsy from an individual and determining the level of expression of SRD5ADI gene or protein relative to a normal control. An increased expression of SRD5AIII relative to the control is indicative of androgen stimulated prostate cancer or recurrent prostate cancer.

Patent CA-2636368-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GOWAN JOHN
IPC: G01C5/00
Filed: 2007-01-22
Abstract: A brake monitoring system is described for use on aircraft having carbon brakes. The system displays the number of times the brakes have been applied in a preselected counting interval such as during each takeoff and landing cycle. By raising the pilot's awareness of the number of times the brakes have been applied, a more efficient brake use is encouraged in view of the knowledge that carbon brake wear is substantially a function of the number of applications rather than the total energy that is converted thereby.  Additionally, the monitoring system provides an indication of the temperature of the brakes which encourages the pilot to maintain a minimum temperature therein beyond which wear is reduced.
