  • Publication number: 20250082542
    Abstract: A mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (“CPR”) device includes a compression mechanism, a support structure, and a light source. The compression mechanism is configured to perform successive CPR compressions to a chest of a patient and includes, in one example configuration, a translucent suction cup, a piston, and a driver coupled to the piston and configured to extend the piston toward the chest of the patient and retract the piston away from the chest of the patient. The support structure is configured to position the compression mechanism over the chest of the patient. The light source is configured to illuminate the translucent suction cup.

  • Patent number: 6211339
    Abstract: Disclosed is a Drosophila grim gene and encoded GRIM polypeptide, an activator of apoptosis. The disclosed nucleic acid sequences are useful in the production of the protein and as hybridization probes and primers. Expression of the GRIM protein causes programmed cell death. Preferred embodiments include expression of grim under the control of an inducible promoter and the use of such a construct in the control of an insect population.
