摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for predicting the hypoxia response in tumor cells, methods for predicting the likelihood of cancer metastasis, and methods for inhibiting tumor cell proliferation using a microRNA comprising miR-210.
摘要:
A medium is provided in which nano-crystalline semiconductors or quantum dots are stable for extended periods when subjected to exterior lighting. The colour emission of the resultant quantum dots provides a fingerprint which is still effective after one year of exposure to exterior conditions. Such encapsulation protects the quantum dots in exterior conditions, so that they may be used as pigments or coding systems based on their optical emission.
摘要:
A method for identifying a surface in which a plurality of trace material is used to establish a database in which a unique combination of trace materials is assigned to a unique source. A composition is formulated containing the unique combination together with an indicator material and a solvent system, the solvent system including a solvent which is volatile under conditions of application. This composition is applied to a surface and the solvent permitted to evaporate, after which the composition is detected on the basis of the indicator material and each of the plurality of trace materials is identified. The unique source can then be determined from the database.
摘要:
A marker system for applying to surfaces of items, articles, goods, vehicles and/or premises, said marker system comprising: a marker comprising a temperature resilient medium having a predefined carbonisation temperature capable of securing the marker system onto a surface; wherein the medium contains an inorganic matrix having a predefined fusing point lower than the predefined carbonisation temperature of the medium; such that when the marker system is subjected to temperatures above the predefined carbonisation temperature of the medium, the inorganic matrix fuses to the marker to form an adhesive protective layer thereby securing the marker onto said surface. A composition comprising the marker system. An item, an article, a good, a vehicle and/or premises comprising a surface impregnated with the marker system.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of unique markers in the identification and tracking of objects. The present invention provides large numbers of unique markings for application to items as part of a marking system. The present invention provides a new approach to laboratory analysis and a means of rapid in-field identification of goods using a hand-held scanner. It provides data that can be used as a means of product tracking, identification of counterfeit product and to prove ownership of stolen goods.
摘要:
A method of producing batches of micro particles includes affixing a substrate sheet to a support and cutting the substrate sheet with a laser device to define a plurality of micro particles. Before, after or during the cutting of the substrate sheet, the region of the substrate sheet defining each micro particle is marked with a code or other identifying marking using a laser device. The code or other identifying marking is unique to the particular batch of micro particles to uniquely identify that batch. The micro particles are removed from the support by a solvent. Preferably, a single laser device is used for cutting the substrate sheet and marking the micro particles. Alternatively, separate laser devices may be used for cutting the substrate sheet and marking the micro particles.

A method of producing batches of micro particles, comprises: e) affixing a substrate sheet to a support f) cutting the substrate sheet by means of a laser device to define a plurality of micro particles; g) either before, after or during the cutting the substrate sheet, marking the region of the substrate sheet defining each micro particle by means of a laser device with a code or other identifying marking, said code or other identifying marking being unique to that particular batch of micro particles to uniquely identify that batch; and h) removing the micro particles from the support by means of a solvent. Preferably a single laser device is used for cutting the substrate sheet and marking the micro particles. Alternatively, separate laser devices may be used for respectively cutting the substrate sheet and marking the micro particles.
摘要:
The invention comprises a method for distributing dead bank cards to customers who have not solicited a bank card or submitted an application. The dead bank card is a bank card (e.g., ATM card, debit card, check card, and the like) which contains all necessary information to be used, including a pre-assigned bank account number, and which only requires activation/approval by the prospective new bank account customer. In one embodiment, the dead bank card is distributed in connection with live credit cards issued to applicants for credit card accounts. Once operative, the bank card and the credit card may be linked together through a rebate/rewards program.
