20130176035 | WIRELESS MONITORING OF LABORATORY ANIMALS - Systems and methods for monitoring laboratory animals includes a tag comprising an inductive element and a capacitive element attached to a portion of a laboratory animal. The position of the portion is detected by monitoring the effect of the tag on a time-varying magnetic field having different frequencies, one near tag resonance, and one away from tag resonance. | 07-11-2013 |
20130160573 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INLINE SAMPLING - Methods and devices for inline sampling of a bulk material, such as a powder, are provided. The material's bulk density can be determined from samples drawn using methods and devices described herein. One embodiment of a method of sampling a material allows the material to flow through a sampling compartment, closes off the flow of material below the sampling compartment, builds up a column of material through the sampling compartment, shifts the sampling compartment to remove a slice of material in the column, and places the slice of material into a sample container. A device for sampling a material is provided in another embodiment. The device includes an inlet, an outlet aligned with the inlet, and a sample collector. The sample collector can include at least one through hole and be configured to move such that the at least one through hole can be moved into and out of alignment with the inlet and the outlet. | 06-27-2013 |

20130019725 | DEVICE TO COLLECT AND SEGREGATE TISSUE SAMPLES SECTIONED ON A MICROTOME - Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods handling a portion of a tissue sample when sectioned by a microtome. The apparatuses include a container, a tissue sample holder in the container, and one or more outlets configured to allow flow of a fluid from the container. the flow through the outlet causes a portion of the tissue sample sectioned by a microtome to move into the outlet. The methods include sectioning one or more portions of a tissue sample, and flowing a fluid past the tissue sample to cause the one or more portions of the tissue sample to move away from the tissue sample and toward at least one fluid outlet. | 01-24-2013 |
20120201727 | MODULAR TEST TUBE RACK - Disclosed herein is a modular test tube rack. The rack contains multiple sub-racks that can be coupled together to form the test tube rack. The sub-rack can be designed to fit into a variety of scientific instrumentation including a fixed rotor centrifuge. The assembled test tube rack can be of a format and size that allows use of standard array pipetters. Thus, a system is provided allowing use of standard array pipetters and high g centrifugation. | 08-09-2012 |
20120040935 | COMPOSITIONS USEFUL AS INHIBITORS OF VOLTAGE-GATED ION CHANNELS - The present invention relates to compounds useful as inhibitors of voltage-gated sodium channels. The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising the compounds of the invention and methods of using the compositions in the treatment of various disorders. | 02-16-2012 |
20110203392 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INLINE SAMPLING - Methods and devices for inline sampling of a bulk material, such as a powder, are provided.

20100015090 | Combinations for HCV Treatment - The present invention relates to co-administering a Hepatitis C virus NS3/4A protease inhibitor and a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase inhibitor. The combination acts by interfering with the life cycle of the hepatitis C virus and is therefore useful as an antiviral therapy. As such, the combination may be used for treating or preventing Hepatitis C infections in patients. The invention also relates to compositions comprising the combination of inhibitors. The invention also relates to kits and pharmaceutical packs comprising a Hepatitis C virus NS3/4A protease inhibitor and a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase inhibitor. The invention also relates to processes for preparing these compositions, combinations, kits, and packs. | 01-21-2010 |
