  • System for delivering chopped fiberglass strands to a preform screen
    Patent number: 6251185
    Abstract: A system for placing chopped fiberglass strands onto a preform screen where desired includes a relatively light-weight chopper/feeder unit mounted on the outer end of a robot arm in closely spaced relation to the preform screen for robotically directing the chopped fiberglass strands onto the preform screen where desired with very little loss. Within the chopper/feeder unit is a cutter for chopping the fiberglass strands to the desired length. The cutter is driven by a variable speed motor attached to the chopper/feeder unit. Also attached to opposite sides of the chopper/feeder unit are a pair of air amplifiers that produce a sufficient volume and velocity of air flow around said cutter and through said unit to carry the chopped fiberglass strands away from the cutter and out through a discharge chute onto the preform screen.

  • Method of inhibiting the growth of BFGF-dependent neoplastic cells in vitro
    Patent number: 5935856
    Abstract: A method of inhibiting the growth of bFGF-dependent neoplastic cells is disclosed. The method includes the steps of accessing a selected colony of such cells and adding a bFGF-specific antisense primer to such colony. By performing the adding step, there is downregulating of the expression of colony-intracellular bound bFGF, and by performing the downregulating step, there is inhibiting of bFGF-promoted growth of cells in the colony.

  • Antisense oligonucleotides which reduce expression of the FGFRI gene
    Patent number: 5783683
    Abstract: Antisense molecules, compositions thereof, and vectors encoding antisense RNA, and methods of using antisense molecules, compositions, and vectors for treating human glioblastoma cells in order to suppress the growth of the cells. The antisense molecules are substantially complementary to human fibroblast growth factor receptor gene one (the FGFR1).
