Patent number: 9013398Abstract: In control methods for a multi-function controller, which includes a sensor having a ring operation region, the position of an object on the sensor is detected for generating a position information, and the force applied to the sensor by the object is detected for generating a force information. When the sensor detects multiple successive position information, which indicate that the object is circling along the ring operation region, a rotation information may be generated additionally. The position information, the force information and the rotation information are used to perform operation in various functional modes.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2011Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Elan Microelectronics CorporationInventors: Shu-Jen Chen, Chang Ou Yang

Publication number: 20130023033Abstract: The present invention relates to gene therapy systems designed for the delivery of a therapeutic product to a subject using replication-defective virus composition(s) engineered with a built-in safety mechanism for ablating the therapeutic gene product, either permanently or temporarily, in response to a pharmacological agent—preferably an oral formulation, e.g., a pill. The invention is based, in part, on the applicants' development of an integrated approach, referred to herein as “PITA” (Pharmacologically Induced Transgene Ablation), for ablating a transgene or negatively regulating transgene expression. In this approach, replication-deficient viruses are used to deliver a transgene encoding a therapeutic product (an RNA or a protein) so that it is expressed in the subject, but can be reversibly or irreversibly turned off by administering the pharmacological agent; e.g., by administration of a small molecule that induces expression of an ablator specific for the transgene or its RNA transcript.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2011Publication date: January 24, 2013Applicant: The Trustees of the University of PennsylvaniaInventors: James M. Wilson, Shu-Jen Chen, Anna P. Tretiakova
