Abstract: A sprinkler head nozzle assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a nozzle housing with an inlet for pressurized water and an outlet downstream of the inlet, a rotatable arc of coverage adjustment ring mounted on the housing such that rotation of the arc of coverage adjustment ring extends and reduces an arcuate exit opening, a range adjustment ring, or upstream flow area adjustment ring is also provided with an upstream flow area throttling element that increases or decreases the flow area as the range adjustment ring is rotated.

Abstract: A portable pipe cutter assembly in accordance with an embodiment of the present application includes a cutting blade that is mounted to move up and down in a vertical plane to cut a pipe. The assembly may include a cradle that supports a lower part of the pipe to prevent deformation as it is being cut. The cutting blade is preferably moved by a battery operated motor.

Abstract: An emergency location apparatus is described including a power source, a control panel for one of activating and de-activating a high intensity light and an activation switch. Also described is a method for operating an emergency location apparatus including receiving a signal, determining if the received signal is an activation signal and one of activating a high intensity light and de-activating said high intensity light.

Abstract: Systems for pathotropic (disease-seeking) targeted gene delivery are provided, including viral particles with extremely high titers. In particular, the viral particles are engineered to specifically deliver therapeutic or diagnostic agents to a disease site, such as cancer metastic sites. Personalized dosing regimens are also provided to treat diseases such as cancer efficaciously with reduced adverse side effects.

Abstract: A method of treating a tumor (in particular osteosarcoma or Ewing's sarcoma) in a host by administering to a host or to the tumor cells an agent which inhibits cyclin G1 protein in an amount effective to inhibit cyclin G1 protein in tumor cells of the host. The agent may be an antisense polynucleotide which is complementary to at least a portion of a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein, or an antibody or fragment or derivative thereof which recognizes cyclin G1 protein. Also contemplated within the scope of the present invention are (i) the immortalization of cell lines by transducing cells with a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein; (ii) increasing the receptiveness of cells to retroviral infection by transducing cells with a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein; and (iii) the detection of cancer by detecting cyclin G1 protein or a polynucleotide encoding cyclin G1 protein in cells.

Abstract: A retroviral vector comprising a first retroviral envelope protein and at least one modified retroviral envelope protein, wherein said first retroviral envelope protein includes a surface protein comprising (i) a receptor binding region; (ii) a hypervariable polyproline region; and (iii) a body portion, and said modified retroviral envelope protein, prior to modification, includes a surface protein which includes (i) a receptor binding region; (ii) a hypervariable polyproline region; and (iii) a body portion, characterized in that said modified retroviral envelope protein has been modified such that at least 90% of the amino acid residues of the receptor binding region of said surface protein of said modified retroviral envelope protein have been removed and replaced with a non-retroviral protein or peptide.

Abstract: This invention provides compositions and methods for treating cancer. More specifically this invention is directed to a targeted retroviral vector comprising a cytokine gene that can be administered either alone or in combination with a targeted retroviral vector comprising a cytocidal gene for treating cancer in a subject. Also provided are a kit or drug delivery system comprising the compositions for use in the methods described.
