International Classification:

G01N 33574

US Classification:

435 4051, 356 36, 435 71, 435 722, 435 723, 435 724, 436 63, 436 64, 436523, 436810

Abstract:

A method for analyzing blood enables one to isolate, detect, enumerate and confirm under magnification the presence or absence of target cancer cells and/or hematologic progenitor cells, or other rare events which are known to circulate in blood. The analysis is performed in a sample of centrifuged anticoagulated whole blood. The analysis involves both morphometric and epitopic examination of the blood sample while the blood sample is disposed in a centrifuged blood sampling container. The epitopic analysis of the presence or absence of cancer cells relies on the detection of epitopes which are known to be present on cancer cells and not on normal circulating blood cells; and the epitopic analysis of the presence or absence of hematologic progenitor cells relies on the detection of epitopes which are known to be present on hematologic progenitor cells and not on normal circulating blood cells. The targeted epitopes on the target cell types are epitopes which are also known to be absent on normal circulating blood cells; and the target cancer cell epitopes are epitopes which are known to be absent on target hematologic progenitor cells. Fluorophors with distinct emissions are coupled with antibodies which are directed against the targeted epitopes.

Appl. No.:

09/900009

Inventors:

Robert A. Levine - Westport CT 06880

International Classification:

A61N 118

US Classification:

607 58, 607 40

Abstract:

A system is provided that includes a behavior detection unit for detecting behavior of the human, a reaction causing unit for causing a reaction in the human, and a control unit for controlling the reaction causing unit to cause the reaction in the human in accordance with detection of the behavior of the human by the behavior detection unit. The behavior involves intake of food into the body of the human, and the reaction causing unit uses electrical and chemical stimulation.

International Classification:

G01N 3100

US Classification:

435 2, 435 4, 436 8, 436 16, 600368

Abstract:

A non-animal based mixture of components serves as a control for complete blood count (CBC) analysis instruments and paraphernalia. The centrifugible non-animal based mixture simulates blood, and contains blood cell-simulating and other blood constituent-simulating components which are present in the mixture in controlled and known amounts. The mixture can be gravimetrically separated into its blood constituent-simulating components so as to serve as a control that simulates a centrifuged blood sample, and is thus used to check the accuracy of CBC blood analysis instruments, such as those marketed by Becton Dickinson and Company, under the trademark âQBCâ.

Robert Levine - Bedford NY, US

Assignee:

Fooddirect, Inc. - Bronx NY

International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

705 28, 705400

Abstract:

A method for pricing a product by a wholesaler. The method comprises providing a master database of product information to a distributor, receiving a selection of products from the distributor, wherein the distributor chooses the selection from the master database and provides a variable margin amount for the products to the wholesaler. The wholesaler associates a customer category with the variable margin amounts, and then assigns the customer category to one of the products. Finally, the wholesaler calculates a variable price for the products, based on provided variable margin amount and transmits the calculated variable price for the products to the distributor.
