Title: Methods and compositions for the diagnosis of cancer susceptibilites and defective dna repair mechanisms and treatment thereof
Inventor: TIMMERS CYNTHIA
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-11-02
Abstract: Methods and compositions for the diagnosis of cancer susceptibilities, defective DNA repair mechanisms and treatments thereof are provided. Among sequences provided here, the FANCD2 gene has been identified, mapped on the 3p chromosome, cloned into recombinant vectors, used to prepare recombinant cells and sequenced. The FANCD2 gene sequence provides probes and primers for screening patients in genetic based test and for diagnosing Fanconi anemia and cancer. It has also been possible to target the FANCD2 gene in vivo for preparing experimental mouse models for use in screening new therapeutic agents for treating conditions involving defective DNA repair. Vectors are described for use in gene therapy. The FANCD2 polypeptide has been sequenced and has been shown to exist in two isoforms identified as FANCD2-S and the mono-ubiquinated FANCD-L form. Antibodies including polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies have been prepared that distinguish the two isoforms and have been used in diagnostic tests to determine whether a subject has an intact FA  pathway. The FANCD2 has been localized to the nucleus and is associated with BRCA 1 foci.

Title: Method of removing water and contaminants from crude oil containing same
Inventor: KRESNYAK STEVE
IPC: C10G21/28
Filed: 2003-07-17
Abstract: A method for contaminant and water removal from crude oil. The method involves recirculating at least a portion of the dewatered crude into a dehydrator. The dehydrator contains a heated dehydrated crude oil and the surface or adjacent thereto is maintained at a temperature sufficient to vaporize any water contacting the surface from crude oil to be treated in the dehydrator. It has been found important to maintain a substantially uniform temperature at or below the vaporizing surface in order to effectively treat crude oil for dewatering purposes. Significant temperature fluctuations are typically realized by dehydrators since heat enthalpy is removed in order to vaporize the water in the crude oil. Such fluctuations lead to process complications and upset and are therefore undesirable. The instant invention recognizes this limitation and substantially reduces foaming and provides for a smoothly running and efficient dehydration process.

Title: Stabilized portable room divider
Inventor: MAAS PAUL A
IPC: A47G5/00
Filed: 2004-02-10
Abstract: A portable room divider includes a plurality of wall panels interconnected by hinges. Each pair of adjacent wall panels also is connected by a position control hinge which provides resistance to pivotal motion between those wall panels. As a result, a force in excess of a given magnitude must be applied to pivot those wall panels, which provides stability to the room divider in use. Feet project laterally from both side of some of the wall panels and self leveling casters are mounted to the feet. A spring biasing mechanism forces each caster against the floor to compensate for irregularities in the floor surface. Thus, the self leveling casters are maintained against the floor to further stabilize the room divider when in use. A mechanism is provided to connect and join together multiple room dividers in a series.
