Title: Chromosome 17p-linked prostate cancer susceptibility gene
Inventor: TENG DAVID H F
IPC: C07H21/04
Filed: 1999-11-05
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of human genetics. Specifically, the present invention relates to methods and materials used to  isolate and detect a human prostate cancer predisposing gene (HPC2), some alleles of which cause susceptibility to cancer, in particular prostate cancer. More specifically, the present invention relates to germline mutatio ns in the HPC2 gene and their use in the diagnosis of predisposition to prostat e cancer. The invention also relates to presymptomatic therapy of individuals who carry deleterious alleles of the HPC2 gene. The invention further relate s to somatic mutations in the HPC2 gene in human prostate cancer and their use  in the diagnosis and prognosis of human prostate cancer. Additionally, the invention relates to somatic mutations in the HPC2 gene in other human cance rs and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of human cancers. The invention  also relates to the therapy of human cancers which have a mutation in the HP C2 gene, (including gene therapy, protein replacement therapy, protein mimetics , and inhibitors). The invention further relates to the screening of drugs for  cancer therapy. Finally, the invention relates to the screening of the HPC2 gene for mutations, which are useful for diagnosing the predisposition to prostate cancer.

Title: Planar waveguide grating device having a passband with a flat-top and sharp-transitions
Inventor: HE JIAN-JUN
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2001-06-12
Abstract: A passband flattened waveguide grating device and a method of designing the same are disclosed wherein the resulting spectral response has a wide flat passband and steep transitions. The method involves adjusting the phases of grating elements forming the grating to achieve the desired spectral response. The phase variation between adjacent grating elements comprises of, in addition to a multiple of 2.pi., a slow-varying central phase variation and an oscillatory phase variation. The resulting spectral response of the waveguide device accounts for the effect of convolution of the field distribution profiles of the input port and of the output ports of the device.

Patent CA-2357559-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FUJITA DONALD A
IPC: C12Q1/42
Filed: 2001-09-19
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the diagnosis or prognosis of cancer by measuring the level of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) or PTP1B nucleic acid in tissue suspected to be neoplastic, and comparing it to the level of PTP1B or PTP1B nucleic acid in normal tissue. An increase in the level of PTP1B or PTP1B nucleic acid in the suspect tissue suggests that the tissue is neoplastic or potentially neoplastic. The invention additionally provides methods for the diagnosis or prognosis of cancer by measuring the level of PTP1B enzymatic activity, or by detection of an altered PTP1B or PTP1B nucleic acid, in tissue suspected to be neoplastic. The methods of this invention are particularly useful for, but not restricted to, the diagnosis or prognosis of breast cancer.

Filed: 2000-03-29
Abstract: An in-line distortion generator for coupling in-line with a non-linear device (NLD) produces an output signal of useful amplitude, but with low composite second order, composite triple beat and cross modulation distortions. The distortion generator comprises an instant controlled non-linear attenuator which utilizes the non-linear current flowing through a pair of diodes, in parallel with a resistor and an inductor, to provide the proper amount of signal attenuation over the entire frequency bandwidth. The distortion generator circuitry is always matched to the NLD, thereby ensuring a frequency response that is predictable and predefined. The distortion generator may also include a temperature compensation circuit to ensure consistent operation throughout a wide temperature range.

Title: Apparatus and method for the precise location of reaction plates
Inventor: COX DAVID M
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2000-05-25
Abstract: Generally, the present invention provides a device and method for accurately locating a multi-well plate at a plate-support location, e.g., a work surface, of an automated laboratory machine, such that one or more acting members of the machine, such as an array of pipette tips, optical sensors, or the like, can accurately address and operate on the individual wells.      Interior and/or exterior surface regions of one or more wells of a multi-well plate are used as the primary plate features engaged by locating structure of the machine. In one particular embodiment, one or more upwardly tapered projections extend from a plate-support surface of a plate-handling machine for mating engagement with the exterior surface regions of one or more wells.      In another embodiment, the exterior surface regions along one or more well bottoms are engagingly received within bores, or other receiving structure, formed on the plate-support surface of a machine. In a further embodiment, one or more downwardly extending projections depend from an acting-member support, along with the acting members of a machine. Introduction of the projections into some of the wells of a multi-well plate serves to align the acting members with the plate's other wells. A biasing assembly can be used to press together the engaging surface regions of the wells and the locating structures of the machine.

Title: Closure device
Inventor: SAVICKI ALAN F SR
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: The closure device (121) includes interlocking fastening strips (130, 131) and a slider (132) slidably disposed on the fastening strips (130, 131) for facilitating the occlusion and deocclusion of the fastening strips. The external surface of the slider is designed to alter the way in which the slider will be grasped by the user. By providing outwardly protruding surfaces (160, 162) on the side portions (142, 144) of the slider, the slider will be grasped near the front or back of the slider. Thus, the user experiences a feeling that the slider is easier to move along the fastening strips. In another embodiment, by providing a gripping surface (550) near the top portion (540) of the slider (532), the slider (532) will be grasped near the top portion of the slider (532). Thus, the slider (532) will be easier to move and the slider (532) reduces the tearing that may result when too much pressure is applied to the bottom portion of the slider during movement of the slider.
