Patent number: 6965831Abstract: A novel coupled two-way clustering approach to gene microarray data analysis, for identifying subsets of the genes and samples, such that when one of these items is used to cluster the other, stable and significant partitions emerge. The method of the present invention preferably uses iterative clustering in order to execute this search in an efficient way. This approach is especially suitable for gene microarray data, where the contributions of a variety of biological mechanisms to the gene expression levels are entangled in a large body of experimental data. The method of the present invention was applied to two gene microarray data sets, on colon cancer and leukemia. By identifying relevant subsets of the data and focusing on these subsets, partitions and correlations were found that were masked and hidden when the full data set was used in the analysis.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2001Date of Patent: November 15, 2005Assignee: Yeda Research and Development Co.

Patent number: 6965732Abstract: A method and heating device for heating a liquid, particularly useful for removing liquid condensate from cooling devices, by wetting a heating plate with the liquid and controlling the electrical power supply to maintain the heating plate at a the predetermined temperature above the boiling point of the liquid, such that when the heating plate is not wetted by the liquid, the electrical power supply to the heating plate is automatically maintained at a relatively low value, but as soon as the heating plate is wetted by the liquid, the electrical power supplied to the heating plate is automatically increased until the liquid is completely evaporated. The heating plate is heated by one or more PTC thermistors in which the electrical resistance increases with temperature to automatically maintain the predetermined temperature. Besides evaporating liquid condensate, the heating device is described for use in many other applications including steam generation, space heating and plastic molding.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2001Date of Patent: November 15, 2005Assignee: A.T.C.T.
