Patent CA-2452301-A1 (CA)
Title: Fluid injector with vent/proportioner ports
Inventor: GILMORE DAN C
IPC: B05B7/24
Filed: 2002-06-17
Abstract: A fluid injector made of pressure rated components that attach to a fluid flow line so that flow is transferred from the flow line, into the injection unit and back to the fluid flow line. The inlet flow is used to pressurize the storage tank and provide a solution to mix with injection solutions in the tank to provide an accurate preset or adjustable injection rate into the fluid flow line. Vent/proportioner ports provide back flow protection, prevent fluid from siphoning from the storage tank, provide an internal air release port and set injection ratios. A mixing control valve adjusts the injection ratios by mixing outgoing injection solutions with incoming fluid from the fluid flow line. Flexible bladders isolate one or more injection solutions within one storage container which are injected simultaneously at independent injection rates.

Title: Discharge lamp with phosphor
Inventor: HUBER GUENTER
IPC: H01J65/04
Filed: 2004-05-31
Abstract: A discharge lamp (1) having a discharge vessel (2) which surrounds a discharge medium which emits electromagnetic radiation in the VUV region when the lamp is operating has, on the inner side of the discharge vessel wall, a first phosphor layer, which faces the discharge medium and comprises a UVA component which can be excited by the VUV radiation and is intended to emit electromagnetic radiation in the UVA region. Moreover, the discharge lamp (1) has a second phosphor layer, which can be excited by the UVA radiation and is intended to emit electromagnetic radiation in the visible region. This second phosphor layer either lies beneath the first phosphor layer or is applied to the outer side of the discharge vessel wall. This results in a lower color locus shift compared to a conventional phosphor mixture which can be excited directly by VUV radiation. (Fig. la)

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for the integration of a nucleotide sequence of interest into the genome. Specifically, the methods of the present invention comprise contacting a lentiviral vector with the plasma membrane of an oocyte, early stage embryo, or blastula under conditions that permit the entry of the viral vector and the subsequent integration of the nucleotide sequence of interest into the genome. The methods further comprise culturing the oocyte or embryo contacted with the lentiviral vector under conditions that allow for the formation of a pre-implantation embryo.  Subsequently, the pre-implantation embryo can be transferred into a recipient vertebrate where it is allowed to develop into at least one genetically modified animal. The methods and compositions of the invention thereby allow for the production of genetically modified animals, particularly, vertebrates, and particularly mammals.

Title: A rapid and sensitive assay for the detection and quantification of coregulators of nucleic acid binding factors
Inventor: HEYDUK TOMASZ
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-01-23
Abstract: Biosensors and methods to determine the activity of any and all nucleic acid binding factors, proteins, cellular events, nucleic acid binding protein coregulators, or fragments thereof, based upon the stabilization of the interaction of two nucleic acid components, which together comprise a complete nucleic acid binding element, by the binding of a nucleic acid binding factor are provided. Preferably, a fluorescence donor is attached to a nucleic acid comprising one portion or component of a complete nucleic acid binding element and a fluorescence acceptor is attached to a nucleic acid comprising the other portion or component of the same complete binding element. Alternatively, a solid substrate is attached to a nucleic acid comprising one portion of a binding element and a detectable label is attached to a nucleic acid comprising the other portion of the same binding element. Binding of a nucleic acid binding factor to the nucleic acid components affects a change in luminescence or the association of the detectable label with the solid substrate. These biosensors and methods may also be used to detect mediating nucleic acid binding factor coregulators, post-translational modifications and cellular events, to diagnose diseases and/or screen for drugs or other ligands that mediate the activity of nucleic acid binding factors.
