Title: Method and system for producing metallic iron nuggets
Inventor: LINDGREN ANDREW L
IPC: C21B13/00
Filed: 2005-12-07
Abstract: Method and system for producing metallic nuggets includes providing reducible mixture (e.g., reducible micro-agglomerates; reducing material and reducible iron bearing material; reducible mixture including additives such as a fluxing agent; compacts, etc.) on at least a portion of a hearth material layer. In one embodiment, a plurality of channel openings extend at least partially through a layer of the reducible mixture to define a plurality of nugget forming reducible material regions. Such channel openings may be at least partially filled with nugget separation fill material (e.g., carbonaceous material).

Title: Cancer-specific spanx-n markers
Inventor: BARRETT J CARL
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: The invention provides SPANX polypeptides, nucleic acids and antibodies that are useful for detecting and treating cancer. The invention relates to a new subfamily of SPANX genes, SPANX-N1, SPANX-N2, SPANX-N3 SPANX-N4 and SPANX-N5.  In contrast to the previously identified SPANX-A/D subfamily, expression of SPANX-N genes is not restricted to testis, and was detected in normal prostate, placenta, lung, colon, ovary and cervix tissues. Comparison of matched normal/tumor tissues revealed a predominant activation of only one member of the subfamily, SPANX-N1, in tumors, indicating that expression of this gene is diagnostic of cancer. Methods and reagents described herein permit detection and treatment of cancers associated with SPANX-N1 expression.

Abstract: An injection device is described having a housing that receives a syringe having a boot that covers its needle. The syringe is biased by a return spring from an extended position to a retracted position. A drive spring advances the syringe from its retracted position to its extended position. A return spring restores the syringe to its refracted position. A releasable locking mechanism retains the syringe in its refracted position. A sleeve can be depressed to release the locking mechanism. A cap covers the sleeve, thus preventing the locking mechanism from being released. When the cap is removed, it takes the boot with it and no longer prevents the locking mechanism from being released. Then, the locking mechanism can be released and the injection cycle begun.

To conserve power, the wireless components of the input device are powered down during periods of non-transmission. The wireless input device detects intermediate user input and corresponding data according to a detection rate during periods of non-transmission. The intermediate data is then transmitted to the receiving device during a transmission period along with a current data detected at the time of transmission. The wireless device may further discard any intermediate data which does not reflect a significant change. Additionally, the system and method may include a detection rate that adapts to degrees of user activity detected by the wireless input device.
