  • Publication number: 20100247528
    Abstract: The invention provides an array comprising a substrate and a set of addressable elements, wherein each addressable element comprises (i) a polynucleotide that specifically binds to a target molecule, (ii) a polypeptide that specifically binds to target molecule, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), wherein the target molecule is selected from the group of cancer-related target molecules as defined herein. Related kits, methods, and uses as described herein are further provided by the invention.

  • Patent number: 5096217
    Abstract: A mono-ski for alpine skiing to which both of the skier's boot bindings are mounted such that the skier's boots are side-by-side, close together and both facing forward. The widest part of the forward or shovel area of the mono-ski is 30 percent or more wider than the narrowest part of the central or waist area of the mono-ski. The mono-ski has concave side cuts which are 3/4 of an inch or more. The forward or shovel area of the mono-ski slopes gradually upward over at least the forward 15 percent and the rear or tail area slopes gradually upward over at least the rear seven percent of the total length of the mono-ski. The skier's boots are positioned rearward of the center, the thickness of the mono-ski is greatest at the central or waist area, the bottom is flat transversely without grooves and the mono-ski has camber. The bottom running surface should be of polyethylene or similar material.

  • Patent number: 4995631
    Abstract: A mono-ski for alpine skiiing to which both of the skier's boot bindings are mounted such that the skier's boots are side by side, close together and both facing forward. The widest part of the forward or shovel area of the mono-ski is thirty percent or more wider than the narrowest part of the central or waist area of the mono-ski. The mono-ski has concave side-cuts which are three-quarters of an inch or more. The forward or shovel area of the mono-ski slopes gradually upward over at least the forward fifteen percent and the rear or tail area slopes gradually upward over at least the rear seven percent of the total length of the mono-ski. The skier's boots are positioned rearward of the center, the thickness of the mono-ski is greatest at the central or waist area, the bottom is flat transversely without grooves and the mono-ski has camber. The bottom running surface should be of polyethylene or similar material.

  • Patent number: 4518953
    Abstract: A security fence system employs a plurality of very thin, high tensile strength, highly stressed wires arranged relatively close together and between each of which is connected an electrical resistance. A voltage source causes a current to flow through the series-connected wires and resistors. An annealed segment can be formed in each high tensile strength wire and located between the points where each wire is attached to the fence posts, to make stretching of the wires without breaking them impossible. A sensing circuit is connected to the fence and includes voltage comparators and potentiometers for providing adjustable triggering levels. The comparators detect when the current flowing in the fence is altered and trigger an alarm if any of the wires are broken, or if any of the wires contact one another. The alarm can be turned off only by normalizing the fence and actuating a reset switch.

  • Patent number: 4318088
    Abstract: A security fence system in which single-strand wires are arranged in pairs and stretched between conventional fence posts. Electrical current is passed through the pair of wires which are arranged such that upon disturbing the wires by attempting entry into the fenced area the current path will be altered, the condition sensed by a detection device, and an alarm is set off.
