Publication number: 20040170216Abstract: An axillary thermometer for measuring the temperature of a patient comprising a first disk-shaped member having a circumferential edge, and an upper portion and lower portion, that is integrally connected, and angularly situated, via a connecting member joint, to a second disk-shaped member having a top side and a bottom side. The top side of the second disk-shaped member, including an actuation switch and display, being proximate the upper portion of the first disk-shaped member such that viewing of the temperature display can be simultaneously accomplished with the temperature taking process. The first disk-shaped member further having at least one temperature sensor along its circumferential edge of the upper portion with the at least one temperature sensor being connected to at least one temperature sensing circuitry.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2003Publication date: September 2, 2004Inventors: Stephen Russak, Andrew Howansky, Jim Best, Scott Henderson, Timothy Kennedy, Daniel Formosa, Wilfrido L.

Patent number: 6218526Abstract: Specific netrin proteins, nucleic acids which encode netrin proteins and hybridization reagents, probes and primers capable of hybridizing with netrin genes and methods for screening chemical libraries for lead compounds for pharmacological agents useful in the diagnosis or treatment of disease associated undesirable cell growth are provided. An exemplary screen involves forming a mixture comprising a recombinant netrin protein, a natural intracellular netrin protein binding target, and a candidate pharmacological agent; incubating the mixture under conditions whereby, but for the presence of said candidate pharmacological agent, said netrin protein selectively binds said binding target; and detecting the presence or absence of specific binding of said netrin protein to said binding target.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1998Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignees: The Regents of the University of California, Exelixis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Candace Swimmer, Anne Shyjan, David Leonardo, Yuan Zhang, Timothy Kennedy, Tito Serafini, Marc Tessier-Lavigne

Patent number: 5565331Abstract: A novel classes of neural axon outgrowth promoting and orienting proteins, nucleic acids encoding such proteins and receptors which selectively bind such proteins are disclosed. The disclosed neural axon outgrowth promoting and orienting proteins include the laminin-related p75/p78 family; a family of vertebrate proteins which promote axon outgrowth and/or orientation, and p75/p78 family-specific receptors, including receptors found on spinal nerve axons, especially growth cones. Also disclosed are agents including peptides derived from the disclosed neural axon outgrowth promoting proteins capable of effecting axon outgrowth, orientation and regeneration. These agents provide small molecular weight modulators of nerve cell growth useful in the treatment of neurological disease and injury.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1993Date of Patent: October 15, 1996Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Marc Tessier-Lavigne, Tito Serafini, Timothy Kennedy, Merysia Placzek, Thomas Jessell, Jane Dodd
