The invention provides a method for determining the sequence of GABR-A2 at any of four single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites known as rs3756007, rs11503016, rs17537359 or rs1372472. The method also provides ARMS primers optimised for determining the sequence at these GABR-A2 SNPs and diagnostic kits comprising suitable primers or probes for determining the particular SNPs. | 02-26-2015 |

20110208645 | VIRTUAL FARE CARD AND VIRTUAL FARE DEVICE - Embodiments of systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed for enabling a uniquely-identifiable item as fare media in a transit system. Embodiments generally include collecting a unique identifier from the item, and sending the unique identifier, and other data, to a virtual fare device. The virtual fare device can use the unique identifier to access historical and/or other information associated with the unique identifier, calculate a fare, and/or update the information in a manner similar to how a physical fare device updates information on physical fare media, such as a stored-value card. The virtual fare device then can send data, such as priced transaction data including fare information, to other systems and/or servers of the transit system for further processing. | 08-25-2011 |

20090001270 | RF detector and temperature sensor - An RF electromagnetic radiation detector has a device that has a first terminal and a second terminal with a PN junction therebetween. The first terminal is connected to the P side of the PN junction and the second terminal is connected to the N side of the PN junction, with the device susceptible to a voltage being built across the PN junction in the presence of RF electromagnetic radiation. The detector is first reverse biased by connecting a first voltage to the first terminal and a second voltage, higher than the first voltage to the second terminal. Current is then measured from the second terminal, where the current measured is indicative of the presence of RF electromagnetic radiation. A temperature sensor has a load, that has a first terminal and a second terminal with the first terminal connectable to a first voltage. A capacitor has a third terminal and a fourth terminal with the third terminal connected to the second terminal and the fourth terminal connectable to a second voltage. The first terminal is connected to the first voltage and the fourth terminal is connected to the second voltage. Finally the first voltage is disconnected from the first terminal and the second voltage from the fourth terminal, and the voltage at the third terminal is measured. The voltage measured at the third terminal or the amount of time required for the voltage at the third terminal to reach a threshold voltage, is dependent upon the ambient temperature. | 01-01-2009 |

20090094994 | CONTAINER INCORPORATING INTEGRAL COOLING ELEMENT - A beverage container is provided with an integral cooling element to maintain a beverage at a cooled temperature after exposure to a warmer environment. The cooling element incorporates use of solid/liquid phase change material. When the beverage is chilled, the phase change material is maintained in a solid state below its melting temperature. When the beverage container is exposed to a warmer environment, such as during consumption, the phase change material undergoes a phase change thereby absorbing heat from the surrounding beverage. The cooling element can either be attached to the inside of the container or free-floating, but in either case, is in direct contact with the beverage. | 04-16-2009 |
