| 20100010290 | Smooth muscle implant for managing a medical condition - The present invention relates to an implant for managing a medical condition. In particular, it relates to medical treatments which employ smooth muscle implant and discloses a method of augmenting a smooth muscle implant for management of a human medical condition. Augmentation may be by a number of methods. It may be by utilising neurotrophic or trophic factors to assist growth of the smooth muscle tissue or nerve growth within the smooth muscle tissue, or revascularisation of the smooth muscle tissue. It may be by utilising tissue engineering to grow smooth muscle tissue. It may be by adding proliferative smooth muscle cells and/or smooth muscle stem cells for the smooth muscle. | 01-14-2010 |

| 20100026973 | EXPANDING CHASSIS FOR IMAGING SYSTEMS - An expanding chassis for an imaging unit is provided, the expanding chassis for use in imaging systems having a plurality of imaging units arranged in an array. The expanding chassis comprises a rigid frame for housing a light engine and related circuitry, and for mounting a screen on a front surface of the rigid frame for use with the light engine. The expanding chassis further comprises at least one expandable interface pad on at least one side of the rigid frame. The rigid frame and the expandable interface pad have a combined thermal expansion characteristic that provides an overall expansion in the expanding chassis that substantially matches the expansion of the screen. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20110195070 | DETECTION OF GRANULOSA-CELL TUMORS - A method of detecting a granulosa-cell tumor is described herein. The method involves detecting a mutation in a sample derived from a subject, indicative of substitution of tryptophan in place of cysteine at amino acid position 134 of FOXL2 protein. The mutation may be detected as a DNA mutation 402C>G in the FOXL2 gene. Methods for screening for a granulosa-cell tumor from a blood-based assay are provided, as well as methods for making a determination that an ovarian tumor is not a granulosa-cell tumor. Kits for granulosa-cell tumors are described, and a method of treating a granulosa-cell tumor are also described. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20100112630 | METHODS FOR MEASURING MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTENT IN AQUEOUS MEDIA - A process for measuring total microbiological content in an aqueous medium includes adding a fluorescent dye to the aqueous medium, measuring the fluorescent signal in the aqueous medium to obtain a baseline fluorescent signal, releasing intracellular content of the microbiological matter into the aqueous medium by lysing the microbiological matter, measuring the fluorescent signal in the aqueous medium with the released intracellular content of the microbiological matter to obtain a second fluorescent signal, subtracting the baseline signal from the second fluorescent signal to obtain a net fluorescent signal and equating the net fluorescent signal with a microbiological content. Methods for measuring biofilm and adjusting for background noise are also provided. | 05-06-2010 |
