Title: Detection de maladies par essais numeriques des troncations de proteines
Inventor: TRAVERSO C GIOVANNI
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 2002-12-04
Granted: 2014-04-01
Abstract: Des maladies génétiques peuvent se diagnostiquer par une détection de mutations dans les gènes responsables. Les essais de troncation de protéines conviennent à la détection des produits géniques issus des mutations de type des troncations. Toutefois, la sensibilité des essais ne suffit souvent pas pour détecter des mutations présentes dans un échantillon d'ADN à basse fréquence. Pour augmenter la sensibilité, on a la possibilité de diviser les échantillons de façon que le signal produit par un allèle mutant comprenne une partie plus grande des allèles totaux qu'avant la division. De cette façon, un signal autrefois indétectable produit par l'allèle mutant peut devenir détectable dans l'essai. Une telle sensibilité accrue permet la détection à un stade précoce, de même que dans des échantillons comportant des niveaux élevés d'autres allèles.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system are disclosed for general use and for specific use when measuring pressure in well bores of hydrocarbon wells. A sensor, an interferometric optical pressure transducer (22), is disposed at the end if a fibre optic line (20) and illuminated by broadband light pulses from a pulsed broadband light source (10). Measuring equipment is provided, in the form of reflectors (31) and filters (34A, 34B, 34C) producing modulated and temporally separate light pulses (36, 38, 40, 36A, 38A, 40A) which are measured by a common photodiode (30), whose output is supplied to a microprocessor (56) driving a display (60) which indicates the pressure applied to the sensor (22). The transducer (22) is mathematically modelled by subjecting the transducer (22) to known pressures and noting the outputs. The measuring equipment (30-34) is mathematically modelled by applying test signals and noting the response for each signal. The mathematical models are combined (with individual device compensating factors). A microprocessor (56) output (C) is assumed. A mathematical model is used to calculate an estimation (B) of the actual output (A) from the sensor. (B) is compared with (A) and the value of (C) changed in the appropriate direction until the closest match is found between (A) and (B). The value of (C), at the closest approach between (A) and (B), is taken as the output to represent the pressure observed at the sensor (22). Different models and compensation factors can be used to allow interchange of different sensors and sensor types and measuring equipment and measuring equipment types.
