  • Protease-activatable pore-forming polypeptides
    Patent number: 9073990
    Abstract: An isolated pore-forming polypeptide is disclosed which comprises a naturally-occurring plugging module and a naturally-occurring pore domain, wherein at least one amino acid of the pore-forming polypeptide is mutated to generate a protease cleavage site, serving to at least partially remove the plugging module from the pore domain. The pore forming polypeptides may be inserted into an encapsulating particle and positioned such that it is capable of forming a pore through the lipid layer of the particle in a presence of the protease.
    Type: Grant

  • Electronic Handwriting
    Publication number: 20100021022
    Abstract: Among other things, a holder for an electronic stylus includes a cavity in which the stylus can be placed when not in use. The cavity includes a receptacle at one end for a writing end of the stylus and a stop at the other end. The stop has an opening into which an opposite end of the stylus can be placed. The receptacle has a resilient element to urge the stylus against the stop.

  • Holding and Using an Electronic Pen and Paper
    Publication number: 20080166175
    Abstract: A housing contains electronics used in determining locations of a writing instrument based on wireless signals, defines a chamber in which the writing instrument may be held when not in use, and includes a retention element to retain the writing instrument from falling out of the chamber. In general, in one aspect, a writing instrument includes an elongate pen body, an electrical contact on a surface of the pen body, and a light source disposed near an end of the pen body. The light source includes a light guide having an optically conductive portion and an optically reflective portion.
