Abstract: A snow protection device mainly includes a piece of waterproof cloth, two bars, and at least two rubber magnets. The waterproof cloth includes a piece of cloth that is light-weighted, windable, and resistant against penetration of water. The two bars are respectively mounted to opposite side edges of the waterproof cloth. The rubber magnets are of magnetic attraction and are flexible and are arranged on the waterproof cloth at locations adjacent to and beside the bars. As such, the two bars can be used to collapse and expand the waterproof cloth and the rubber magnets may be securely attached, by means of magnetic attraction, to locations around a windshield so as to securely hold the waterproof cloth in position. The waterproof cloth is thus set to shield and cover the windshield. The resistance against water penetration of the waterproof cloth prevents water from contacting and being frozen on the windshield.

Abstract: The invention provides the identification of the presence of mutant ROS  protein in human cancer. In some embodiments, the mutant ROS are FIG-ROS fusion proteins comprising part of the FIG protein fused to the kinase domain of the ROS  kinase. In some embodiments, the mutant ROS is the overexpression of wild-type ROS in cancerous tissues (or tissues suspected of being cancerous) where, in normal tissue of that same tissue type, ROS is not expressed or is expressed at lower levels. The mutant ROS proteins of the invention are anticipated to drive the proliferation and survival of a subgroup of human cancers, particularly in cancers of the liver (including bile duct), pancreas, kidney, and testes.  The invention therefore provides, in part, isolated polynucleotides and vectors encoding the disclosed mutant ROS polypeptides (e.g., a FIG-ROS(S) fusion polypeptide), probes for detecting it, isolated mutant polypeptides, recombinant polypeptides, and reagents for detecting the fusion and truncated polypeptides.  The identification of the mutant ROS polypeptides enables new methods for determining the presence of these mutant ROS  polypeptides in a biological sample, methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer characterized by the mutant polynucleotides or polypeptides, which are also provided by the invention.
