Publication number: 20100273677Abstract: A method of analysing the interaction between a mixture of molecular components and a group of binding agents includes the following steps. (i) Separating the molecular components in the mixture into a plurality of fractions on the basis of a physical parameter. (ii) Providing a plurality of different binding agents. (iii) Contacting the binding agents with at least two of the fractions and detecting the binding of the molecular components in each fraction to the binding agents. (iv) Detecting the presence of a plurality of the molecular components by the binding of the molecular components to the binding agents.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2008Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: MEDINNOVA ASInventor: Fridtjof Lund-Johansen

Patent number: 6803727Abstract: A lighting system, preferably for use in operating theatres, in which at least one light source is mounted to be movable an adjustable in a single ceiling and/or wall element in the form of a prefabricated module element (4). The light sources in each module element may be controlled singly or in clusters by means of a control device designed to direct the source or sources to focus at a point defined by an optical, ultrasound or magnetic, radio frequency pointer that is seen by an appropriate sensor/camera system or receiver in the room, and which, via control means, moves the light source to the desired position. The light source consists of light-emitting diodes, halogen bulbs or the end of one or several fiber-optical cables, fixed ion a holder shaped as one half of a cup or a sphere, the holder being arranges to be movable about two perpendicular axes in the xy-plane (the ceiling plane) of the ceiling module (4).Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2003Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Medinnova SFInventors: Frode Laerum, Erik Fosse, Ole Jacob Elle
