  • Predicting hepatotoxicity using cell based assays
    Patent number: 7817840
    Abstract: Cell based assays are used to assess the hepatotoxicity of a stimulus. Imaging technologies are used to analyze the effects of a stimulus on hepatocytes. Image analysis may characterize the stimulus on the basis of whether it is hepatotoxic, and if so what type of pathology is exhibited; e.g., apoptosis, necrosis, cholestasis, and/or steatosis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 19, 2010
    Assignee: Cytokinetics, Inc.
    Inventors: Larry C. Mattheakis, Jay Kenneth Trautman, Gregg Peter Solar, Jinhong Fan, Eugeni Vaisberg, Cynthia Lynn Adams, Aibing Rao

  • Spinning platform with crossed-pole magnets
    Patent number: 5254966
    Abstract: A spinning magnetic device includes a rotor which may have a capsule for an occupant. The rotor has a number of rotor magnets circularly deployed about its perimeter, all having their dipole axes tangentially directed and all aligned clockwise or counter clockwise. Just outside the circle of magnets is a second, concentric circle of stator magnets. These have their dipole axes radially aligned toward the center of the circles and all directed inward or outward. The number of stator magnets is a multiple of the number of rotor magnets. The rotor magnets are disposed in equal angular separations about the center, as are the stator magnets. The device, when set spinning, experiences perturbations in the rotational speed.
