  • Patent number: 10351912
    Abstract: Methods of using probes and probe sets for the detection of high grade dysplasia and carcinoma in cervical cells are described. Methods of the invention include hybridizing one or more chromosomal probes to a biological sample obtained from a subject and detecting the hybridization pattern of the chromosomal probes to the sample to determine whether the subject has high grade dysplasia or carcinoma. Methods of the invention also include preliminary screening the cells for a marker associated with a risk for cancer, and preferably involves screening for HPV infected cells by in situ hybridization using an HPV probe mixture.

  • Publication number: 20020160339
    Abstract: A method and system of matchmaking search based on people's combined astrological compatibility, which is calculated as a weighted average of people's compatibilities under different astrological teachings. The matchmaking is accomplished by constructing a table of combined compatibility and allowing people to search various data sources based on this combined compatibility. Each pair of combined astrological signs within the table is assigned a combined compatibility number depending on astrological compatibility of the people within this pair. The method and software program, are based on Western and Chinese combined, cross-referenced astrological compatibility charts.
