20120227280 | DRYING OF WATER DAMAGED BUILDINGS - A drying apparatus for temporary location within a damp or waterlogged room is disclosed. The apparatus includes sensors to sense the level of temperature and humidity within the room, a heater to provide heat for the room, an air circulation fan for selectively circulating heated air within the room or selectively exhausting warm and humid air from the room and for allowing outside ambient air into the room. The apparatus being adapted to cyclically continue until the sensed humidity reaches a required level, the apparatus thereafter indicating, directly or indirectly, the completion of the drying process. A method of drying a room using such apparatus is also disclosed which employs a technique whereby the rate of change of the temperature increase is used to determine when humid air should be exhausted from the room. A time limit can also be use to determine when said exhausting takes place. | 09-13-2012 |

20090098107 | Method of Detecting Relative Risk for the Onset of Atopic Dermatitis by Gene Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Analysis - The present invention provides a method of discriminating a relative risk for the morbidity of atopic dermatitis of a test subject comprising: analyzing gene polymorphism of two or more of genes related to onset of atopic dermatitis using a sample isolated from a statistically significant number of normal persons and patients of atopic dermatitis to determine relative ratios (percentages (%)) related to the individual gene polymorphism of individual derived from the analysis; and calculating an odds ratio according to specified gene polymorphism from the relative ratio; and using, as a discrimination criterion, a combination of two or more of gene polymorphisms showing a synergetically higher odds ratio than odds ratios according to individual gene polymorphism. The method is useful for predicting susceptibility of an AD patient to chemicals based on genes and for selecting the diagnostic and/or therapeutic agent by eliminating harmful drug reactions from the analysis of principal factors related to onset and development of AD and interaction among these genes, and for determining a diagnostic method and therapeutic method using the detection method of morbidity risk. | 04-16-2009 |
