Patent CA-2861690-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MANTYLA MARKKU
IPC: G01B11/06
Filed: 2012-12-21
Abstract: A measuring device comprises a first optical sensor row (200) and a second optical sensor row (202) between which a planar object (204) to be measured is placed. The direction of the first sensor row (200) and the direction of the second sensor row (202) differ from one another. Each sensor (208) of the first sensor row (200) forms data representing a distance between the object (204) to be measured and the sensor (208). Each sensor (210) of the second sensor row (202) forms data representing a distance between the object (204) to be measured and the sensor (210) in order to determine at least one property of the object (204) to be measured on the basis of said data.

Title: Use of substituted hexitols including dianhydrogalactitol and analogs to treat neoplastic disease and cancer stem cells including glioblastoma multforme and medulloblastoma
Inventor: BROWN DENNIS
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2013-01-22
Abstract: The use of dianhydrogalactitol provides a novel therapeutic modality for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme and medulloblastoma.

Title: Method and system for analyzing solid matter containing liquids and monitoring or controlling processes containing such liquids
Inventor: VAHASALO LARI
IPC: G01N30/00
Filed: 2013-05-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for analyzing a sample of industrial liquid containing solid matter. The sample is fractionated according to particle sizes and/or masses of the solid matter so as to produce sample fractions. A sample (30) is conducted to a disintegration channel (31) having depressions (31B). A liquid flow having a non-constant temporal velocity profile is applied through said disintegration channel (31), in order to gradually take solid matter of the sample with the liquid flow from said one or more depressions for providing said sample fractions. In one embodiment, the fractionation proceeds in a field flow fractionation (FFF) channel (33). From a homogenizer tube (35), which is an optional part, the fractionated sample is conducted via a conduit (36) to a measurement device (37) for measuring at least one physical or chemical property of at least one of said sample fractions.
