Abstract: An electronic circuit having reverse scan tuning comprises an IC radio having the forward scan function, in which a VCO capacitor is connected in parallel to a series connected resistor and switch, and a second switch is connects an input to an IF limiter amplifier to either circuit ground or a voltage supply. The invention makes it convenient for a user to search for a radio station by not having to start a search for a lower band station at the lowest end of the frequency band. The user does not need to push reset button to return to the lowest frequency when the user wants to receive a station whose frequency is lower than the current station.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to genetic sequences exhibiting differential expression patterns in cancer tissue relative to normal tissue. The identification of differentially expressed genetic sequences permits their use as molecular markers for cancer, as early indicators of cancer progression and/or as predictive markers for a propensity or likelihood of a cancer to develop. The present invention relates particularly to genetic sequences exhibiting expression patterns up-regulated in cervical cells or associated with pre-, early- or late-onset cervical cancer relative to normal cervical cells. The genetic sequences of the present invention provide markers for early- or late-onset cervical cancer and/or a cancer related to cervical cancer. The markers of the present invention further provide potential targets for the development of therapeutic protocols for the treatment or prophylaxis of cervical or related cancer.
