  • Patent number: 6769409
    Abstract: A fuel injector support assembly for mounting a fuel injector to the cylinder head of an engine. The fuel injector support assembly includes a fuel injector clamp attached to a bracket. The bracket is secured to the cylinder head by cylinder head mounting bolts, which are used also to fasten the cylinder head to the engine block. The fuel injector clamp is attached to the bracket and secures the fuel injector to the cylinder head.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Caterpillar Inc
    Inventors: Michael Joseph Evancik, Marvin Patrick Schneider
  • Patent number: 6753138
    Abstract: Prothymosin expression is up-regulated in endometriotic tissue. This invention provides methods of diagnosing endometriosis by detecting up-regulation of a prothymosin gene product, and methods of treating endometriosis by down-regulating expression of prothymosin in ectopic or eutopic endometriotic tissue.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030134270
    Abstract: Procedures and vectors are provided for the specific alteration of particular genetic loci in eukaryotic cells. One procedure comprises the utilization of ATG-minus fluorescent protein gene targeting (AMFP) DNA vectors for the purpose of creating and identifying cells which have vector sequences integrated into the host cell genome via site-specific homologous recombination. The procedure also comprises the utilization of sequences encoding in vivo detectable markers for the identification of cells which have exogenous vector sequences integrated into the genome of the host cell, either via site-specific homologous recombination or nonhomologous recombination or insertion. The invention also includes vectors for creating modifications in eukaryotic cells. In addition, the invention includes cells and organisms generated from cells with specific genetic alterations through the implementation and use of provided procedures and vectors.
