Title: Selective chemokine modulation
Inventor: BRUCE LARS
IPC: A61K33/24
Filed: 2007-09-11
Granted: 2012-10-04
Abstract: The present invention teaches the use of a metal or an oxide of a metal having a capability of reducing the amount of the chemokine IP-IO in a sample and/or reducing the production of IP-IO in cells. The metal is a metal of group 4 or 5 in the period table of the elements and preferably titanium. These metals and metal oxides can selectively bind IP-IO to its surface to thereby scavenge IP-IO from the surrounding medium. In addition, a metal-cell contact induces a reduction in the production of IP-IO from IP-IO producing cells. The metals and metal oxides of the present invention can therefore be used for treating and/ or preventing medical conditions characterized by adverse IP-IO expression, such as inflammatory reactions.

Title: Self-indicating wipe for removing bacteria from a surface
Inventor: MACDONALD JOHN GAVIN
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2008-09-12
Granted: 2013-03-28
Abstract: A wipe that includes a bacteriostatic agent that contains cations having an affinity for the negatively charged cell walls of bacteria is provided. The affinity of the bacteriostatic agent for the bacteria allows the wipe to capture bacteria, thereby removing them from a surface and also inhibiting their spread to other surfaces that may contact the wipe. Of particular advantage, the bacteriostatic agent may help protect against the spread or infection of pathogens without the use of chemicals, such as antiseptics or antibiotics. Still further, the wipe of the present invention also contains a solvatochromatic indicator that undergoes a color change in the presence of a broad spectrum of bacteria. Thus, when the wipe captures bacteria, the indicator undergoes a color change that signals to the user that the wipe is functioning properly. The lack of a color change may likewise provide the user with the assurance that the area is generally free of bacteria and clean.

Inventor: BASILE ALISON JANE
IPC: G01N33/543
Filed: 2009-08-25
Granted: 2014-06-26
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a rapid and universal assay for the detection of antigen- specific antibodies in biological samples. The assay allows for the detection of antigen-specific antibodies in any species, including species for which secondary antibodies or antisera have not been developed or are not available. Biological samples to be tested are directly labeled, such as with biotin, and contacted with antigen-bound microp articles. The presence of antigen-specific antibodies in the biological samples is detected using a binding partner for the label, such as a biotin binding partner, conjugated to a detectable label, such as a fluorophore. This improved test provides a total antibody assay that is capable of detecting all classes of antibodies simultaneously.

Title: Adaptive temperature controller
Inventor: STEARNS STANLEY D
IPC: H05B1/02

Granted: 2013-06-20
Abstract: The adaptive temperature controller (10) includes a device for measuring resistance, an electrically-conductive material (50), a power supply (11), and a device for controlling power (12). In operation, the controller (10) determines the resistance of material (50) at one or more temperatures and therefore determines the resistance of the material (50) through a range of operating temperature. Based on such determination so long as voltage and power are known, the resistance of the material (50), and therefore its temperature, are known. As a result the voltage or power may be instantly varied to produce near infinite control over material temperature.
