    摘要: The present invention relates to the use of proteins which are differentially expressed in primary brain tumor tissues, as compared to normal brain tissues, as biomolecular targets for brain tumor treatment therapies. Specifically, the present invention relates to the use of immunotherapeutic and immunoimaging agents which specifically bind to one or more of human proteins angiopoietin related protein 2 (ARP-2,) secreted protein acidic, rich in cysteine (SPARC,) c-met proto-oncogene (C-MET,) brevican (BEHAB,) CD-44 antigen (CD-44,) tetraspanin 3 (TSPN3,) pleiotrophin (PTN,) osteopontin (OPN,) vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor-2 (VIPR-2,) and receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase zeta (PTPζ) for the treatment and visualization of brain tumors in patients. The present invention also provides compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions for administration in the methods of the invention. The present invention also provides novel splice variants of protein PTPζ, PTPζ SM1 and PTPζ SM2. Nucleic acid probes specific for the spliced mRNA encoding these variants and affinity reagents specific for the novel proteins are also provided.

    摘要: This invention relates to apparatus and methods for z-axis control and collision detection and recovery for waterjet and abrasive-jet cutting systems. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a linear rail, a slide member coupleable to a cutting head and slideably coupled to the linear rail, at least one actuator having a first end coupled to the slide member and a second end fixed with respect to the linear rail, a position sensor, and a controller. The actuator provides an adjustable support force that supports the weight of the cutting head, allowing the cutting head to be controllably positioned at a desired height above the workpiece. The actuator may include a pneumatic cylinder, or alternately, a linear motor. In another aspect, an apparatus includes a first mount member coupleable to a controllably positionable mounting surface of the waterjet cutting system, a second mount member coupleable to the cutting head and disengageably coupled to the first mount member, and a sensing circuit having a plurality of first conductive elements disposed on the first mount member and a plurality of second conductive elements disposed on the second mount member. In the event of a collision between the cutting head and an obstruction, the second mount member disengages from the first mount member to prevent breakage of the cutting head. Following the collision, the second mount member is quickly and easily re-engaged with the first mount member without time-consuming re-calibration. In one embodiment, re-engagement of the second end first mount members is automatically performed by a biasing member.
