Publication number: 20230375552Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods useful for detecting and treating aggressive prostate cancer. In a specific embodiment, a method for identifying a patient as having aggressive prostate cancer comprises the steps of (a) measuring the concentration of total PSA, free PSA, p2PSA in a serum sample obtained from the patient and calculating phi based on the measured serum concentrations; (b) measuring the concentration of fucosylated PSA (fuc-PSA) in a serum sample obtained from the patient; (c) measuring the concentration in a serum sample obtained from the patient of one or more of the following biomarkers: B7-H3, PLA2G7, GDF-15, IL-6R alpha, SDC1, VCAM-1, s Tie-2, IL-16, CA15-3, MMP-2, and H SP27; and (d) using an algorithm to identify the patient as having aggressive prostate cancer based on a panel of biomarkers comprising phi, fuc-PSA and one or more of the serum concentrations measured in step (c).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Daniel Wan-Yui Chan, Zhen Zhang, Lori Jean Sokoll, Jin Song, Shiyong Ma, Hui Zhang

Patent number: 7946141Abstract: A self-scrambling combination includes a frame that supports at least two tumbler rings and an activating slide. The tumbler rings are marked with characters used for a combination for the lock. The lock is openable only when the tumbler rings are located in an open position related to the combination. The activating slide moves a locking bar between a locked position and an unlocked position. A scrambling mechanism is attached to the activating slide and rotates the tumbler rings from the open position to another position upon movement of the activating slide to move the locking bar from the unlocked position to the locked position. The frame can be used as the door of a lockbox and an attached key lock controls the setting of the combination for the lock. The self-scrambling combination lock can be used for a briefcase or valise lock with an additional spring closing the lock.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2008Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Inventors: Kwan Yuen Abraham Ng, Sarah Seen Yui Chan Ng

Publication number: 20110050419Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel system for signaling intrusion of a protected space to a remotely located user. The system includes a lock mechanism and a sensor module that detects an unlocked state of the lock mechanism and in response sends out a signal to a central unit. The central unit then communicates to a remote device that indicates intrusion upon receiving the signal. The central unit and the remote device can be incorporated into one unitary system. Alternatively, the central unit can be integrated within the lock mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2009Publication date: March 3, 2011Inventors: Kwanyuen Ng, Sarah Seeo Yui Chan Ng

Publication number: 20100089521Abstract: A reinforced flexible hose that has at least one layer of stainless steel threads braided about the outer surface of the inner core and a transparent flexible polymeric covering located over the braided stainless steel threads, thereby protecting them from abrasion and corrosion. The covering is not in intimate contact with the circumference of each thread thereby trapping pockets of air between the covering and the threads. A moisture sensitive compound is dispersed through the stainless steel threads under the transparent covering. When the compound becomes wet, it changes from a first color to a second color indicating that the hose has failed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2009Publication date: April 15, 2010Inventors: Kwan Yuen Abraham Ng, Sarah Seen Yui Chan Ng

Patent number: 6813912Abstract: A secure lockbox includes an interior key lock that controls access to the mechanism for setting and changing the combination for the lock controlling access to the interior storage compartment of the lockbox. A second key lock controls the attachment bail of the lockbox, preventing unauthorized removal of the lockbox. The two key locks may be identically keyed. In a variant of the invention, a second combination lock controls the attachment bail instead of a key lock. Resilient coverings are provided for the attachment bail and the sides of the lockbox body to prevent damage to buildings and fixtures. A chain is provided to secure the door of the lockbox to the body. A slide latch having non-slip features is controlled by the door's combination lock and engages an edge of the door opening to secure the door opening. The slide latch may have a protrusion for ease of use.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2004Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignees: Loyal International Inc., Link Worldwide SourcingInventors: Kwan Yuen Abraham Ng, Sarah Seen Yui Chan Ng
