IPC: F16B13/10
Filed: 2007-06-19
Abstract: A toggle anchor system has a toggle head and a sleeve. In addition, corresponding features of an axial coupling are combined with the toggle head on one side and the sleeve on the other side. Once the toggle anchor system is inserted in an assembly hole with a sleeve stop flange contacting the sheetrock front, a pull force is externally induced via a tightening screw or a rip-off pull element. Initially, the toggle arm(s) may unlock and spring loaded or cam actuated unfold before being pulled against the sheetrock back. In that position, the toggle head is coupled with the sleeve and the sheetrock remains sandwiched and clamped between toggle arm(s) and stop flange. An object may consecutively be conveniently attached to the sheetrock front via the pre-positioned toggle anchor system. The tightening screw may have an internal thread and a power tool coupling for power assisted pre-positioning.

Title: Methods and combinations of probes to chromosomal regions for detecting melanoma
Inventor: BASTIAN BORIS
IPC: C40B40/06
Filed: 2006-09-01
Abstract: Conventional methods of diagnosis rely on pathological criteria that result in misdiagnosis an unacceptably high percentage of the time. The present invention is based on the discovery of methods and combinations of probes to chromosomal regions that are gained or lost in melanoma that provide highly specific and sensitive assays for the detection of melanoma cells. In particular, the invention provides a method of detecting the presence of melanoma cells by contacting a sample (e.g., a biopsy) with a combination of at least two probes, one of which targets chromosome subregion 6p25, and detecting the hybridization pattern of the combination of probes, wherein a hybridization pattern showing at least one gain or loss at a chromosome subregion targeted by the probes is indicative of melanoma. Also provided are corresponding combinations of probes and kits comprising them.

Inventor: IZGARIAN NICOLAE
IPC: H01J27/00
Filed: 2006-10-02
Abstract: A MALDI/LDI source is disclosed that includes an ion optical device and beam-focusing optics disposed on opposite sides of a sample support that is at least locally transparent in a region underlying the sample to allow transmission of a radiation beam therethrough. A laser or other radiation source, located adjacent a rear surface of the sample support, emits a beam of radiation that is focused by the beam focusing optics and traverses the transparent region of the sample support to impinge on the sample. Ions produced by irradiation of the sample are collected by an ion optical device located adjacent the front surface of the sample support. By locating the ion optical device and beam-focusing optics on opposite sides of the sample support, short focal length beam-focusing optics may be utilized, thereby facilitating smaller beam spot sizes. This may be particularly useful for mass spectral tissue imaging and other applications where high spatial resolution analysis of a differentiated sample is desirable.

Abstract: A communications and data link jamming system employs a fiber-optic RF delay line to provide rapid responses to threat signals. A sample of the RF signal threat environment is stored within the delay line, and a jamming video signal is added to the stored sample by modulation as it is being extracted from the delay line. The extracted signal is re-circulated back into the delay line, thereby effectively stretching the sample for highly efficient jamming. The jamming system is effective in countering burst communications and in defeating multiple simultaneous threat signals.
