20140121128 | METHOD FOR THE PROGNOSIS OF BREAST CANCER BASED ON THE EXPRESSION OF THE GENE PIN1 IN COMBINATION WITH MUTATIONS IN THE GENE TP53 - It is described the influence of the presence of mutations in the TP53 gene in association with high levels of the enzyme prolyl isomerase Pin1 and a molecular signature of 10 genes expression correlated with the expression of Pin1 and p53 for the prognosis of breast tumors. The association between overexpression of Pin1 and the presence of protein p53 mutants induces transcriptional programs which promote tumor aggressiveness and in a cohort of patients the overexpression of Pin1 has proved to influence the prognostic value of the presence of mutations in the gene TP53. The assessment of the expression of Pin1 in the presence of mutations of the gene TP53, together with the detection of the expression of the genes forming the molecular signature can therefore be used for the prognosis of breast cancer. | 05-01-2014 |
20140104678 | Tunable Quantum Dot Laser With Periodically Poled Nonlinear Crystal - The present invention uses nonlinear crystal waveguides to provide a continuous wave and picoseconds pulse laser systems that gives an order-of-magnitude increase in IR-to-visible conversion efficiency and also provide an order-of-magnitude increase of wavelength range for SHG conversion. The idea of enabling such broad tunability is based on the utilization of a significant difference in the effective refractive indices of the high order and low order modes in the waveguide. This feature enables the difference between the effective refractive indices of the fundamental and second-harmonic waves to be shifted to match the period of poling in a very broad wavelength range. | 04-17-2014 |
20130336987 | Identification of Therapeutic Targets in Cutaneous SCC - The present invention discloses a series of genes and/or proteins associated with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and provides polynucleotides and/or polypeptides for use in the treatment and/or prevention of cSCC. The invention further relates to methods of diagnosing cSCC and provides oligonucleotides/polypeptide probes and primers. | 12-19-2013 |
20130315954 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE PRODUCTION OF INFLUENZA VIRUSES AND VACCINE SEEDS - The present invention relates to a method for improving the production of an influenza virus, and in particular influenza vaccine seeds, or a vaccine directed against an influenza virus, characterized in that the production is carried out in the presence of an inhibitor of the interaction between the Mdm2 protein and the p53 protein. | 11-28-2013 |
20130047728 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE MANIPULATION OF OBJECTS USING ULTRASOUND - A method and apparatus for manipulating particles. The apparatus comprising an ultrasound source for providing a variable ultrasound signal within a region of interest, and a controller connected to the ultrasound source such that it provides a control signal to the ultrasound source. The variable ultrasound signal creates a pressure field within the region of interest, the shape and/or position of which can be altered by changing the control signal input to the ultrasound source such that a particle within the region of interest will move in response to changes in the pressure field. | 02-28-2013 |
20130043768 | ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER ARRAY - An ultrasonic transducer array and method of making an ultrasonic transducer array. The array comprising a plurality of individual array elements made from a piezoelectric composite which is made from a plurality of individual piezoelectric segments; a passive filler between the piezoelectric segments; and, one or more electrodes for driving the array elements formed from the piezoelectric segments; wherein the spatial pattern of the piezoelectric segments of the piezoelectric composite defines one or more non-linear, irregular channels which separate the piezoelectric segments thereby minimising interaction between the individual array elements and minimising spurious modes in the ultrasound transducer array. | 02-21-2013 |
20130020907 | WIRE BOND FREE CONNECTION OF HIGH FREQUENCY PIEZOELECTRIC ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCER ARRAYS - A piezoelectric ultrasound transducer array connected to a planar electronic component, the planar electronic component having one or more through hole adapted to receive a conducting element to provide an electrical connection which extends through the planar electronic component. | 01-24-2013 |
20110288395 | Pressure Measurement Device - A non-invasive device adapted to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) comprising: a pressure sensor mounted on a soft contact lens to be worn on the eye of a subject, wherein the device is adapted such that, when worn on the eye, the pressure sensor is located at or near the transitional region of the cornea. The pressure sensor communicates wirelessly to an external controlling device through a magnetic field-based telemetry system that serves to power the pressure sensor and transmit the pressure measurements to the external device. | 11-24-2011 |
