| 20160066550 | Animal Model Expressing Luciferase under Control of the Myelin Basic Protein Promoter (MBP-luci) and Use of the Model for Bioluminescence In Vivo Imaging - A Myelin Basic Protein-luciferase bioimaging noninvasive model to visualize and quantify demyelination and remyelination events in the CNS at transcriptional level in vivo is provided. Luciferase-expressing transgenic animals were generated with myelin basic protein (MBP) promoter coupled to firefly luciferase reporter. The MBP-luci bioimaging model provides a means to monitor myelination status and the efficacy of a remyelination modulating test compound. An advantage of bioimaging is that a subject in a longitudinal study can serve as its own control. The same subject can be tracked over a demyelination and remyelination process continuously over a period of at least 10 weeks. This model enables normalization of individual animal imaging response and provides quality data with considerably reduced variance. In addition, because cohorts of animals need not be sacrificed at different time points, reduction in the number necessary for a compound efficacy study is possible. | 2016-03-10 |

| 20160066559 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USING UV LIGHT TO REDUCE COLLISIONS WITH ANIMALS - The ability to see in the UV spectrum sets deer and animal vision apart from humans. Because of the absence of red cones, the drop off in sensitivity at the long-wavelength end of the spectrum occurs at shorter wavelengths for deer. They are less sensitive in the spectral region that appears orange to humans and are virtually insensitive to deep reds. Deer are much more sensitive than humans to the shorter wavelengths of light. They have been found to have a blue cone with peak sensitivity at 455 nm. 440 nm light is seen as bright blue in the dichromatic eye of the deer. The present invention involves connecting UV lights with a power source associated with the moving device, such as the device's electrical system, in such a manner that the UV lights are active whenever the device is running. Because the UV light is particularly visible and bright as seen by deer and other animals, the present invention will alert such animals that are in the path of the oncoming moving device sooner than conventional lights or other warning devices. Thus, giving the animals more chance to move out of the way in reducing collisions. | 2016-03-10 |
