Patent number: 6911533Abstract: Methods for isolating pancreatic progenitor 1 genes are provided. The pancreatic progenitor 1 nucleic acid compositions find use in identifying homologous or related proteins and the DNA sequences encoding such proteins; in producing compositions that modulate the expression or function of the protein; and in studying associated physiological pathways. In addition, modulation of the gene activity in vivo is used for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes, such as identification of cell type based on expression, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2003Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignee: The Scripps Research InstituteInventors: Nora Sarvetnick, Howard Fox

Patent number: 3933045Abstract: The temperature within a body is measured by covering an area of the body surface with a layer of thermal insulation, measuring the temperature with two sensors located respectively at the insulation/body surface interface and at the opposite side of the insulating layer to indicate any temperature gradient along a path from within the body through the sensors, and applying heat over the insulating layer/sensor sandwich to annul any such gradient. This effectively exteriorises the desired deep body temperature, which is then indicated by the sensors. It is important that the insulation extend laterally beyond the sensors to guard against peripheral temperature gradients affecting the sensor region and to take account of any inherent thermal irregularities in the body. This last point is particularly relevant to clinical use on human subjects with irregularities caused by vascular channels. Similar considerations lead to use of a thin film or similar uniform heating element over the relevant area.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1971Date of Patent: January 20, 1976Assignee: National Research Development CorporationInventors: Ronald Howard Fox, Arthur James Solman
