20100115865 | TILE ADAPTOR - The present invention relates a novel adaptor to position tiles or tile-like elements within or around a bathing apparatus, or both. The present invention further includes a method of using the tile adaptor for the installation of tiles. In a representative embodiment, the tile adaptor includes one or more flanges along at least one of its sides to allow the installation of tiles of a variety of thicknesses at a number of places. The adaptor is integrated in the final bathing apparatus. One or more adaptors may be positioned on the floor, wall and/or ceiling of the bathing apparatus, depending on the design of the bathing enclosure. Advantageously, the tile adaptor is easy to install and to use, and it may conveniently be manufactured from a lightweight material such as extruded plastic or a synthetic polymer. | 05-13-2010 |

20130225743 | BARRIER FILM FOR FOOD PACKAGING - Barrier films are prepared from a blend of two high density polyethylene blend components and a high performance organic nucleating agent. The two high density polyethylene blend components have substantially different melt indices. Large reductions in the moisture vapor transmission rate of the film are observed in the presence of the nucleating agent when the melt indices of the two blend components have a ratio of greater than 10/1. The resulting barrier films are suitable for the preparation of packaging for dry foods such as crackers and breakfast cereals. | 08-29-2013 |

20160061830 | BACTERIOPHAGE-BASED BIOSENSOR FOR MICROBIAL DETECTION - A biosensor for detecting a microorganism in a sample includes a polymer matrix and an immobilized layer of bacteriophages on the surface of the polymer matrix, wherein interaction of the bacteriophage with the microorganism causes a detectable physicochemical change in the polymer matrix. A method of detecting a microorganism in a sample using the biosensor includes the steps of contacting the sample with the biosensor; allowing the bacteriophage to bind to the microorganism in the sample; and detecting a physicochemical change in the polymer matrix, the change being indicative of the presence of the microorganism. | 03-03-2016 |

20080299095 | Nup98-Hox Fusions for Expansion of Hemopoietic Stem Cells - Nucleic acid constructs encoding homeobox-nucleoporin fusions are disclosed, compositions comprising same, and methods which provide enhanced expansion of stem cells. In particular, an isolated nucleic acid construct encoding a NUP98-HOX fusion is provided, which when introduced into hemopoietic stem cells provides enhanced expansion of these cells. Methods of expanding stem cells in vivo or ex vivo and methods of treatment using the stem cells are also described. | 12-04-2008 |
20080300187 | MUTATED HOXB4 PROTEINS WITH IMPROVED STABILITY, AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - A polypeptide, the amino acid sequence of which comprises a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, including at least one mutation within the degron domain of the polypeptide encompassed between positions 1 and 35 of the sequence, wherein said at least one mutation reduces the susceptibility of the polypeptide to ubiquitin-proteasome degradation. | 12-04-2008 |
20090215875 | METHODS AND KITS FOR EXPANDING HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS - A method of increasing the expansion and/or differentiation of a hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) comprising: (a) increasing the level and/or activity of a polypeptide encoded by at least one gene selected from trim27, xbp1, sox4, smarcc1, sfpi1, fos, hmgb1, hnrpdl, vps72, tcfec, klf10, zfp472, ap2a2, gpsm2, gpx3, erdr1, tmod1, cnbp1, prdm16, hdac1, pml and ski, or a functional variant of said polypeptide, in said cell; (b) increasing the level of a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide or functional variant of (a) in said cell; or (c) any combination of (a) and (b). | 08-27-2009 |
20100080778 | STEM CELL EXPANSION ENHANCING FACTOR AND METHOD OF USE - The present invention relates to a stem cell expansion factor, and to a method for enhancing hematopoietic stem cell expansion by direct delivery of a protein in the cell and which protein is able to cross cell membrane. The method comprises directly delivering in a HSC an amino acid sequence having the activity of a peptide encoded by a Hoxb4 nucleotide sequence. Once delivered, the amino acid sequence is functionally active in the hematopoietic stem cell and enhances expansion thereof. The amino acid sequence may is a HOXB4 or HOXA4 protein. | 04-01-2010 |
