  • Methods of screening for modulators of nerve growth factor
    Publication number: 20060147932
    Abstract: The invention relates, in general, to a method of screening for agents that modulate NGF activity. More specifically this invention provides a method of assessing the ability of a candidate agent to modulate NGF activity comprising, measuring the level of expression of one or more or two or more NGF responsive genes in a culture of neurons expressing the high-affinity trk A receptor after contact with a candidate agent. The invention further provides methods of culturing primary cultures of neurons expressing the high-affinity trk A receptor and methods of isolating polynucleotides from such cultures.

  • Method and system for increasing the estimation accuracy of cam phase angle in an engine with variable cam timing
    Patent number: 6766775
    Abstract: A system and method for determining an estimation of actual cam phase angle of increased accuracy are based on an observed cam phase angle derived from a cam phase sensor and a predicted cam phase angle derived from a desired or commanded cam phase angle. The estimated cam phase angle is used in the electronic control unit in computing desired settings for engine variables which depend on cam phase angle.
