20140093427 | ASSAY DEVICE FOR LIQUID SAMPLE - Disclosed is an assay device comprising liquid transport means adapted to take up a liquid sample and conduct the liquid to an analyte detection region operable to provide a test signal indicative of the presence and/or amount of an analyte in the liquid sample; the assay device further comprising a sample presence signal generation means, which is not generated by means of immunoreaction. This sample presence signal generation means can comprise a coloured portion, which is overlaid by a material (e.g. nitrocellulose) that is opaque, when dry, and translucent or transparent, when wet, to allow the coloured portion to become visible to the user. In another embodiment the signal generation means comprises a colour changing material which under-goes a change in its visible properties upon wetting (eg. pH indication). A third embodiment uses a mobilisable detectable which, when wetted by the sample, is carried along resulting in a streaked line parallel with the flow direction. | 04-03-2014 |

20140090293 | Partnering mirrors and reflective material with growing lights to enhance plant growth for maximizing indoor plant production - Agribusiness like most markets is very competitive. In particular, agricultural products that have a short shelf life create an added pressure to sell and ship more quickly. By using mirrors and other reflective material, the cost of production is reduced, while improving the quality and quantity of plant production. This process of using mirrors and reflective material improves plant growth and production beyond other indoor or outdoor growing systems. This process may be the most efficient system by growing plants in a sterile, pesticide-free, and easily accessible facility, significantly reducing labor costs. By controlling every facet of the growing process, commercial production can occur in virtually any kind of outdoor weather conditions, while making best use of land and natural resources, potentially affecting agribusiness globally. Because this process has national and global consequences, the use of mirrors and reflective material for plant production needs to be patented. | 04-03-2014 |

20130254998 | Travel pillow for sleeping in a vertical or near-vertical reclined position - The present invention is directed towards a travel pillow for sleeping in a vertical or near-vertical reclined position. When sleeping in these positions, gravity tends to pull the head forward of the shoulders causing it to droop. The current state of the art travel pillow does not provide a support means to counter this forward drooping tendency. Moreover, its rear support displaces the cervical spine forward, further increasing the tendency for the head to slump forward. The present invention holds a resting head in an upright and stable position to prevent forward head drooping and does so without forwardly displacing the cervical spine. The five novel elements of the present invention are integrally configured to maintain a healthy alignment between the occipital bone of the head, the cervical spine of the neck, and the thoracic spine of the upper back. | 10-03-2013 |

In another embodiment, the OSV virus was constructed to constitutively express 15-PGDH (the “OSVP” virus), the principal enzyme responsible for degradation of PGE2. OSVP was shown to decrease both breast tumors and prostate cancer tumors in mice models. In addition, OSVP was shown to trigger substantial inflammatory cytokine production and pro mote anti-tumor immune responsiveness. These altered viruses, OSV and OSVP, can be used to treat various cancers including breast, prostate, liver, colon, and other tissues. Other exogenous genes can be added to either OSV or OSVP to improve the therapeutic response. | 08-08-2013 |
