  • Patent number: 7442787
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polynucleotide comprising a ubiquitous chromatin opening element (UCOE). The present invention also relates to a vector comprising the polynucleotide sequence, a host cell comprising the vector, use of the polynucleotide, vector or host cell in therapy and in an assay, and a method of identifying UCOEs.

  • Publication number: 20060161968
    Abstract: Prototype software is securely delivered and evaluated by electronic transfer over a network. The software is secured by multiple levels of encryption to prevent unauthorized copying, modification, and/or use of the prototype software. Electronic transfer of the prototype software minimizes the time and cost associated with providing prototype software for testing to remote third party testers. Once the software has been transferred electronically to the third party tester, the software developer electronically maintains control of that software by restricting access to an authorized third party, monitoring testing, and deleting any files related to the prototype software from the third party test workstation.

  • Patent number: 4380166
    Abstract: The testing apparatus comprises two pressure regulators, two pressure gauges or an optional dual pressure gauge, and valve mechanism. In one embodiment the valve mechanism comprises two valves, namely a power actuated three-way air valve and a power actuated four-way air valve controlled by a mode selector. In an alternative embodiment, the valve mechanism comprises a single three-way air valve controlled by a mode selector. The valves are illustrated in the drawings as solenoid operated valves controlled by electrical selector switches. The testing apparatus has an input line or conduit connectable to two pressure ports of a dual pressure indicator and control unit for pasteurizing equipment. In either embodiment illustrated, actuation of the mode selector places the testing apparatus selectively in tracking or differential test modes.
