  • ASSAY FOR METASTATIC POTENTIAL OF TUMOR CELLS
    Publication number: 20140206559
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, compositions and kits related to a novel in vitro assay for a high-capacity and high-throughput method for measuring the ability of cancer cells to migrate in a three-dimensional cellular assay. The three-dimensional cellular invasion assay provides a method for determining and quantitating the metastatic potential and invasive capacity of a cancer cell. Other aspects of the invention further relate to the use of the in vitro assay to screen for agents and compounds capable of inhibiting intravasation, and thereby modulating the metastatic potential of cancer cells. The methods, compositions and three-dimensional assay provide a highly sensitive assay system capable of mimicking the in vivo cellular and molecular interactions required for successful completion of intravasation.

  • Avalanche rescue device
    Patent number: 8061293
    Abstract: A rescue device includes a control module to sense an avalanche, sense the direction of the surface and establish a target path to the surface. A nozzle is selected or oriented by the control module along the target path. A fluid reservoir is connected to the nozzle to force a fluid through the nozzle along the target path to the surface. This allows rescuers to identify the location of a victim and also provides an air path to the victim.
