Abstract: The present invention is directed to a specific mutation in SCN5A which causes drug-induced torsade de pointes or ventricular fibrillation. Persons with the mutation are predisposed to developing drug-induced torsade de pointes or ventricular fibrillation when administered certain drugs. This predisposition can be diagnosed in accordance with the present invention by analyzing the DNA sequence of the SCN5A of an individual. By screening patients for the mutation, drug-induced torsade de pointes or ventricular fibrillation can be avoided. Furthermore, drugs can be tested to determine whether they will cause torsade de pointes or ventricular fibrillation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining pressure index in a game. The game takes place in a sports field provided with at least one goal. The game also comprises at least two teams and at least one game tool. Each team consists of at least one player. The method also uses means for determining the positions of players and game tool. The proposed method is characterised in that the determination of positions is transmitted to a computer, following which the pressure index on each player (X1) in control of the game tool is calculated by computer as the sum of pressure from at least one opponent (M1); and wherein is included at least one function of distance and time between at least one opponent (M1) and the player (X1), wherein the time constitutes at least the time during which the player (X1) is in possession of the game tool. Hereby a quantifiable and unambiguous measure of the pressure index on a player (X1) is obtained by a method that is independent of a human discretion by an expert, ie an  objective and reproducible method.

Abstract: A frame member (5) for a framed panel (1) of the type having a rigid frame (2) and an infill member (3). The member (5) is of open section, and has at least two section portions (8a, 8b, 8c), wherein at least one portion (8a) has at least one crest (9). <??>The crest ensures that another component of a framed panel, such as transverse section of wire, only makes contact with the frame member in a limited area. This in turn results in a high welding pressure when such a component is welded to the frame member, leading to a higher welding power and therefore requiring a shorter welding time. With shorter welding time, less heat is generated in the surrounding material of the frame member, therefore preventing damage of any surface treatment such as galvanizing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A press-on, twist-off container assembly of the type that is used, for example, and baby food containers includes a container that has, as conventional, a finish portion with at least one external thread and a closure that is mounted on the container. The closure is of the press-on, twist-off type and includes a panel portion and a skirt portion that together define a generally cylindrical interior recess. As is conventional, a deformable gasket is mounted within the interior recess that has a thread engaging portion that is deformed so as to at least partially conform to the external threads of said finish portion of said container. The thread engaging portion advantageously has a plurality of inwardly extending raised flutes that are circumferentially spaced irregularly about the thread engaging portion. At least some of the flutes are in contact with at least one of the external threads at respective points of contact, and each external thread has a total distance spanned by such points of contact. As a result of the irregular spacing of the flutes, the container assembly will have an aggregate distance spanned that is a sum of the total distance spanned for all of the external threads that is less than it would be were the flutes spaced regularly. Accordingly, the amount of torque that is necessary to remove the closure is comparatively reduced.
