Granted: 2013-10-01
Abstract: The present invention is directed to Protein-fragment Complementation Assays (PCAs) and assay compositions based on fluorescent proteins. The invention provides methods for fragmenting fluorescent proteins and generating mutant fragments with desir4 spectral characteristics for PCA. The invention encompasses assays and compositions based on fluorescent proteins from the species Aequorea, Anemonia and Anthozoa. In particular, the invention is directed to fragments of mutant fluorescent proteins having improved spectral properties over the wild-type proteins. The invention encompasses fragments of mutant versions of A. Victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP), in particular yellow fluorescent proteins (EYFP and super-EYFP), 'Venus', cyan, 'citrine', blue, cyan-green, and photoactivatable variants of GFP. The invention also encompasses red fluorescent PCAs based on Discosoma red fluorescent protein (RFP PCA)and a kindling fluorescent protein PCA (KFP 1 PCA) derived from Anemonia sulcata. Any useful mutation of a fluorescent protein can be engineered into a fragment, generating a wide range of assays useful for drug discovery, target validation, high-throughput screening, high-content screening, pathway mapping, drug mechanism-of-action studies, blosensors, and diagnostics.

Abstract: An integrated lancing test strip includes a test strip and a lancet packet coupled to the test strip. The lancet packet includes a sterility sheet enclosing a lancet to maintain the sterility of the lancet and prevent cross-contamination between the test strip and the lancet. The sterility sheet allows the lancet to be sterilized separately from the test strip. The sterility sheet gives the integrated strip a low profile, which is attractive for packaging multiple integrated strips in cassettes, drums, magazines or the like. In one form, the integrated strip is loaded in a meter that includes an adjustment mechanism that adjusts the position of the test strip relative to the skin being sampled. This allows the user to adjust the position of the test strip so as to not apply excessive pressure against skin, which could hamper bleeding from the incision in the skin.

Abstract: In a global network of computers, a method ad system of profiling a user for targeting advertisements is disclosed. The method and system obtains and/or infers demographic information from end-users using on-line means. The invention next monitors end user activity and determines keywords therefrom.  The system and method profiles an end user as a function of the determined end-user activity keywords and obtained/inferred end-user demographic information.  Profiles of end- users are matched against targeted profiles of advertisements which are defined by the respective advertisers. This results in targeting advertisements to end-users based on end user profiles. Advertisers bid for advertisement placement with the system. In some embodiments, the system employs Vickrey auction type bidding. Using observed user behavior and the auction results, ads are prioritized for selection and viewing placement in a manner that provides the greatest potential value to the system.
