  • Recombinant constructs and their use in reducing gene expression
    Publication number: 20060247202
    Abstract: Recombinant constructs useful for reducing the expression of endogenous mRNA and any substantially similar endogenous mRNA are disclosed. In particular, a recombinant construct comprising, inter alia, a suitable nucleic acid sequence and its reverse complement can be used to alter the expression of any homologous, endogenous RNA (i.e., the target RNA) which is in proximity to this suitable nucleic acid sequence.

  • Method and apparatus for storing energy
    Patent number: 4482010
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for using phase-change compounds for insulating purposes. Selected phase-change compounds are stored in the voids of particles of suitable insulating materials that are maintained surface dry whereby temperatures of walls and ceilings containing such insulation are maintained at a much more constant temperature than can be achieved using insulating materials alone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 1982
    Date of Patent: November 13, 1984
