Title: Method and apparatus for location dependent software applications
Inventor: ST-DENNIS DANNY
IPC: G06Q50/34
Filed: 2001-03-15
Abstract: The Internet provides tremendous opportunities location dependent services such as gaming and advertising. Gaming is geopolitically regulated, so the physical locations of the end user, the gambling server and the gambling service provider, must be determined. The invention provides a means for doing so, by identifying the location of the end user's Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Access Service Provider (ASP). Similarly, Internet advertising is presently either indiscriminate, which is inefficient, or is personalized, violating the end user's privacy. The invention allows advertising content to be provided based on the physical location of the end user's ISP.  This way, advertisements can be geographically targeted without having personal records stored on the Internet. Also described are many other similar applications which can exploit knowledge of the user's geographical location by using the location of the end user's ISP or ASP.

A thermal coupling agent (36 or 38) is disposed between the heat sink (28) and the heat dissipater (30) for providing a full thermal path between the heat sink (28) and the heat dissipater (30). In Figure 3, the first surface (14) of the circuit board (12), with the electrical leads (26) soldered or adhesively attached to the traces (18) thereon, faces the heat dissipater (30). The circuit board (12) is spaced from the heat dissipater (30) and, in Figure 3, the traces (18) face the heat dissipater. A step in the fabrication of the present invention is the disposing of a thermally insulating cap (40) around the heat sink (28) while disposing the LED (24) on the circuit board (12).to protect the LED from damage during soldering.

Title: Control of cell growth by altering cell membrane potentials
Inventor: MINUK GERALD Y
IPC: A61K38/17
Filed: 2001-05-11
Abstract: Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a potent inhibitory neurotransmitter that binds to hetero-oligomeric receptors in the mammalian brain. In a previous study, we documented specific GABA binding to isolated rat hepatocytes which resulted in inhibition of hepatocyte proliferation. The purpose of the present study was to define the nature of hepatic GABA A receptors and document their expression during rapid liver growth (post-partial hepatectomy). Polymerase chain reactions (PCR) with gene-specific primers derived from published sequences were performed with marathon-ready human and rat liver cDNA. Two GABA A receptor subunit types (.beta.3 and .epsilon.) were expressed in the human liver and one (.beta.3) in the rat liver. PCR amplification of the human GABA A receptor .beta.3 subunit produced a single product (m.w. 53-59 kDa). In the case of the .epsilon. subunit, two PCR  products were identified. Following partial hepatectomy, GABA A receptor .beta.3 subunit expression inversely correlated with regenerative activity (r= -0.527, p=0.006). In conclusion, these results indicate that in the human liver, GABA A receptors consist of the .beta.3 and .epsilon. subunit types whereas in the rat liver, only the .beta.3 subunit type is expressed. The results also support the hypothesis that GABAergic activity serves to maintain hepatocytes in a quiescent state.
