Patent CA-2588254-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCLELLAN DOUGLAS
IPC: G06K9/68
Filed: 2007-05-09
Abstract: A device and method for detecting flame using real-time continuous imaging a nd pattern recognition of infrared (IR) images of a flame region. Infrared emissions radiated from the region pass through a wide field-of-view lens and are detected by a Charged- Coupled Device (CCD) array sensitive to the near IR range. The system then digitizes the image, extracts characteristic parameters from the measurement and store s both the image and characteristic information for pattern recognition. To accomplish the pattern recognition function, the derived real-time characteristics of the current measurement are statistically compared to pre-stored patterns representative of images o f radiation emitted from the region while known flame conditions prevail within the region. Based on this comparison, an assessment is made to determine the presence or absen ce of flame. The characteristic measurements are also used for evaluating the quality of flame.

Title: Particle based binding assay
Inventor: LUOTOLA JUHANI
IPC: G01N33/538
Filed: 2005-11-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting the presence or amount of an analyte in a sample, said method comprising: a porous surface to which particles having attached thereto a binding substance, analyte and binding substance coated label particles are added. If said analyte is present in the sample an immuno- or chemical reaction occurs in the liquid phase. The separation of bound complex from unbound material is achieved by using said surface where the separation occurs mainly two dimensionally on the surface of the porous surface (e.g. grid). Interestingly, the disclosed surface enables a separation where said complexes are distributed two dimensionally on the porous surface (e.g. grid), whereas unbound materials are distributed three dimensionally. Accordingly, said surface enables both a two and a three dimensional separation.

Title: Laser microdissection and microarray analysis of breast tumors reveal estrogen receptor related genes and pathways
Inventor: YANG FEI
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2006-04-03
Abstract: About 70% to 80% of breast cancers express estrogen receptor-.alpha. (ERa), and estrogens play important roles in the development and growth of hormone-dependent tumors. Together with lymph node metastasis, tumor size and histological grade, ER status is considered one of the prognostic factors in breast cancer, and an indicator for hormonal treatment. 147 genes and 112 genes with significant P- value and having significant differential expression between ER+ and ER- tumors were identified from the LCM data set and bulk tissue data set, respectively. 61 genes were found to be common in both data sets, while 85 genes were unique to the LCM data set and 51 genes were present only in the bulk tumor data set. Pathway analysis with the 85 genes using Gene Ontology suggested that genes involved in endocytosis, ceramide generation, Ras/ERK/Ark cascade, and JAT- STAT pathway may play roles related to ER. The gene profiling with LCM-captured tumpr cells provides a unique approach to characterize and study epithelial tumor cells and to gain an insight into signaling pathways associated with ER.
