| 20120070373 | METHOD AND COMPOUND FOR TREATMENT OF CANCER USING PHOSPHOROUS-32 LABELED DNA - This invention provides a combination of a gene and isotope therapy that is applied to a cancerous tissue to selectively kill that associated cancer cells with minimal negative effects on surrounding non-cancerous cells. Functionally, the specific DNA fragments with labeled isotope are able to bind the tumor cells DNA through recombination, and then the isotope kills the tumor cells. A gene is employed as a carrier to deliver the P-32 which can kill cancer cells through radioactive emission. Unlike traditional gene therapy, which employs a gene to express a protein, which can suppress the cancer cell growth or increase the sensitivity for radiation therapy or chemotherapy, the illustrative embodiment actually binds the radioactive substance via a gene. The illustrative embodiment produces the compound/agent containing a gene (DNA fragment) and P-32 through use of conventional P-32 labeling techniques such as those employed in molecular biology experiments (for example experiments used to test gene expression and gene amplification potency). In the illustrative embodiment, however, the same P-32 labeled DNA is employed directly for cancer treatment through a novel medical treatment method. Appropriate doses are provided to patients as part of a medical treatment method. | 03-22-2012 |

| 20090265141 | DISTRIBUTED STORAGE IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS - The present invention provides a method for implementation in a first sensor node that is a member of a sensor node network including a plurality of sensor nodes. One embodiment of the method includes accessing, at the first sensor node, information indicative of a sensing operation performed by at least one of the plurality of sensor nodes. This embodiment of the method also includes randomly selecting, at the first sensor node, a second sensor node that is adjacent the first sensor node in the sensor node network. The random selection is made independent of a location of the second sensor node. This embodiment of the method further includes transmitting the information indicative of the sensing operation from the first sensor node to the second sensor node. | 10-22-2009 |
