20080261227 | Kinetic Pcr Assay for Quantification of Gene Amplification on Chromosome 17 - Provided is a kinetic PCR (“kPCR”) assay for determining gene copy number of a target gene located on chromosome 17. The kPCR assay uses the MMP-28 gene located at the 17q11.2-17q12 loci as a control and thus, is capable of detecting gene copy number of any gene on chromosome 17 in both singleplex and multiplex format without the need for a standard curve. The kPCR assay is useful for determining the gene copy number of the HER2/neu gene located at loci 17q12-17q21.32, which is a requirement for determining if a breast cancer patient is a candidate for anti-HER2/neu gene therapy. | 10-23-2008 |

20100328974 | RESONANT CONVERTER FOR ACHIEVING LOW COMMON-MODE NOISE, ALONG WITH ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY AND METHOD EMPLOYING THE SAME - Embodiments are described for reducing common-mode current in electronic devices. In the various embodiments, a resonant converter is employed, for example in a power supply, and the resonant converter is driven by a DC input to generate an AC primary voltage on the primary windings of a power transformer. The DC input may be derived from an AC line voltage or a DC-to-DC converter. The AC primary voltage drives the primary winding of the transformer to generate an AC secondary voltage on at least one secondary winding of the transformer. The AC secondary voltage may then drive a rectifier, which in turn drives a low-pass filter to produce a DC output voltage. Phase-shift modulation is employed which, in conjunction with the resonant converter, applies a sinusoidal waveform to the primary of the transformer resulting in a reduced amount of common-mode current injected onto the secondary. | 12-30-2010 |

A laser assembly is positioned on a first side of the mirror for directing a laser beam toward said mirror so that the energy is reflected off the mirror and through the objective in a direction that is substantially aligned with the optical axis of the objective. An indicator assembly including a source of light is positioned with the light incident on the other side of the mirror to reflect a beam of light in a direction opposite to the direction of the laser beam to provide an optical representation at the eyepiece of a microscope of the position of the laser beam being emitted by the objective. | 12-24-2009 |
20100118395 | MODULAR OBJECTIVE ASSEMBLY - A modular laser objective for use with a microscope is provided. A mounting modular body permits the modular objective to be releasably mounted to the turret of a microscope. The objective has an optical axis that penults an image beam to be emitted through the objective toward the eyepiece of a microscope. The modular body supports a mirror positioned at an angle to the optical axis of the objective. A modular laser assembly is mounted on the modular body on a first side of the mirror for directing a laser beam toward the mirror so that the energy is reflected off the mirror and through the objective in a direction that is substantially aligned with the optical axis of the objective. A modular indicator assembly is received in the modular body and includes a source of light positioned with the light incident on the other side of the mirror to reflect a beam of light in a direction opposite to the direction of the laser beam to provide an optical representation at the eyepiece of a microscope or on a camera of the position on the target of the laser beam being emitted by the objective. | 05-13-2010 |
20110306108 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LIVING CELL MANIPULATION - The present invention provides a method and system for using eye-safe infrared energy from a Class I laser to manipulate cells in culture. The laser energy produces one or more phase boundary propulsion events, which generate hydrodynamic forces sufficient to manipulate cells at the focal point. | 12-15-2011 |

20080204173 | COMPOSITE MECHANICAL TRANSDUCERS AND APPROACHES THEREFOR - Mechanical transducers such as pressure sensors, resonators or other frequency-reference devices are implemented under conditions characterized by different temperatures. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a combination of materials is implemented for mechanical transducer applications to mitigate temperature-related changes at or near a selected turnover temperature. In one application, a material property mismatch is used to facilitate single-anchor transducer applications, such as for resonators. Another application is directed to a Silicon-Silicon dioxide combination of materials. | 08-28-2008 |
