Title: Method and apparatus for providing localized heating of the preoptic anterior hypothalamus
Inventor: CARSON GARY ALLEN
IPC: A61F7/12
Filed: 1999-09-09
Abstract: This invention is a method, and system to provide for the controlled heating of the preoptic anterior hypothalamus (POAH) for patients receiving such treatment. The system employs a catheter device (20) which may be positioned near the POAH (64), and which emits radiant energy. The radiant energy provides for the heating of the POAH, and a cooling apparatus (48) may further be provided for cooling bodily tissues near the POAH which are heated.  Feedback sensors (22, 24) may be positioned at various locations on the patient in order to determine an optimal position for the catheter device, and to monitor the core body temperature. A control apparatus (12) included with the system, controls the amount of heating the POAH receives based on the feedback signals received from the sensors.

Inventor: WU ZHENG
IPC: A61K35/761
Filed: 1999-11-16
Abstract: The present invention addresses the need to improve the yields of viral vectors when grown in cell culture systems. In particular, it has been demonstrated that for adenovirus, the use of low-medium perfusion rates in an attached cell culture system provides for improved yields. In other embodiments, the inventors have shown that there is improved Ad-p53 production with cells grown in serum-free conditions, and in particular in serum-free suspension culture. Also important to the increase of yields is the use of detergent lysis. Combination of these aspects of the invention permits purification of virus by a single chromatography step that results in purified virus of the same quality as preparations from double CsC1 banding using an ultracentrifuge.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et un système pour la normalisation d'amplitude et la sélection de pics de données à partir de données d'expérimentation qui comprennent des données polynucléotidiques du type ADN, ADNc ou ARNm provenant d'expériences de biotechnologie. Les procédés et le système en question permettent d'éliminer le chevauchement spectral, d'éliminer la tendance spatiale et de normaliser un signal de données à composantes multiples dans les données d'expérimentation de l'expérience concernée (par exemple, pour des données de biotechnologie). On détermine des tailles de données types et on rejette les amas (clutter) de données pour obtenir des données d'expérimentation filtrées. Les tailles de données sont étalonnées et les erreurs sont supprimées dans les données d'expérimentation. On élimine les sous-pics (stutter) de données, et le nombre des valeurs de données est réduit. Les procédés et le système considérés favorisent l'automatisation du traitement des données d'expérimentation, afin d'éliminer ou de réduire les erreurs et de présenter les données d'expérimentation traitées dans un format adapté à l'affichage et à l'analyse comparative ou autre. Ces procédés et ce système peuvent en outre favoriser la réduction ou l'élimination des incohérences qui, dans le traitement des données d'expérimentation, se traduisent généralement par des résultats non fiables ou erronés. On peut aussi les utiliser pour affiner le traitement des données de biotechnologie par le biais de nouvelles techniques susceptibles d'être appliquées en bioinformatique ou à d'autres types de données d'expérimentation destinées à être affichées (par exemple, données de télécommunication, données électriques pour dispositifs électriques, données optiques, données physiques ou autres).
