Patent number: 8765418Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the detection and characterization of HPV sequences. More particularly, the present invention provides compositions, methods and kits for using invasive cleavage structure assays (e.g. the INVADER assay) to screen nucleic acid samples, e.g., from patients, for the presence of any one of a collection of HPV sequences. The present invention also provides compositions, methods and kits for screening sets of HPV sequences in a single reaction container.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2013Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Third Wave Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Angela Hudson, Tamara Sander, Poonam Agarwal, Michelle Garsha, Hon Ip, Robert W. Kwiatkowski, Vecheslav Elagin, Marilyn Olson-Munoz, Michelle Curtis, Sarah Olson, Ilse Tyler

Patent number: 7624859Abstract: A battery package capable of standing upright comprising a front member, a rear member pivotally connected to the front member, and a foot pivotally connected to a bottom of the rear member. The rear member and the front member have an open configuration and a closed configuration. The rear member and the front member are configured to capture batteries therebetween when in the closed configuration. The foot is pivoted to abut against a rear bottom portion of the rear member, thereby placing the foot in a support position such that the battery package can stand on a horizontal surface. The foot is maintained in the support position by adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2008Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Eveready Battery Co., Inc.Inventors: Julio C. Casanova, Cari Michelle Curtis, Mark J. Brennan, Scott W. Osiecki, Mark A. Ferguson
