  • Publication number: 20230349921
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for determining bone growth velocity comprising: (a) measuring an amount of a collagen X marker in a sample obtained from a subject in need thereof; and (b) comparing the amount of collagen X marker measured in step (a) with a collagen X marker standard curve, wherein the amount of collagen X marker is measured using at least two reagents. In an embodiment, there is at least one capture reagent and at least one detection reagent. In a preferred embodiment for measuring CXM, the capture reagent is the aptamer SOMA1 and the detection reagent is the monoclonal antibody mAb X34. The present invention further provides methods for treating diseases, disorders or conditions comprising receiving an identification of an amount of CXM in a sample, wherein the amount of CXM has been identified using a combination of SOMA1 and mAb X34 as CXM-binding reagents, and administering a treatment in light of the amount of CXM in the sample.

  • Patent number: 5979640
    Abstract: A conveyor drive having a first crank (44) rotatably mounted to a base (24) for producing a first sinusoidal harmonic and a second crank (62) rotatably mounted to a conveying trough (22) for producing a second sinusoidal harmonic. A link (66) is connected between the first and second cranks (44, 62) to impart a first sinusoidal harmonic of the first crank (44) to the second crank (62). The second crank imparts a working displacement to the conveying trough (24) as a function of a phase relationship between the first and second sinusoidal harmonics of the respective eccentrics (44, 62). A synchronizer (FIG. 5) is operatively connected to the cranks (44, 62) for selectively adjusting the angular phase relationship between the first and second sinusoidal harmonics of the respective cranks (44, 62) to correspondingly vary the working displacement imparted to the trough (22), thereby controlling the speed of material being conveyed along the trough (22).
