Hydrophilic Somatostatin Analogs
US Patent:
6465613, Oct 15, 2002
Filed:
Nov 19, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/196259
Inventors:
David H. Coy - New Orleans LA

Assignee:
Tulane University - New Orleans LA
International Classification:
A61K 3816
US Classification:
530311, 530300, 530327, 530329, 514 5, 514 14, 514 15, 424 111, 424 169
Abstract:
The invention features novel somatostatin analogs that may be readily labeled with toxic or non-toxic detectable labels. These unlabeled and labeled analogs are useful for specifically targeting somatostatin receptor bearing cells, in particular neoplastic cells. Labeled analogs are useful, for example, for tumor localization and detection. Where labeled with a toxic label (e. g. , radioactivity), the analogs are useful for the targeted delivery of toxicity to somatostatin receptor-bearing cells, in particular neoplastic cells. Also disclosed are methods for treating and detecting neoplasms, and methods for imaging somatostatin receptor-bearing cells.
Monitoring Method And Apparatus Using Asynchronous, One-Way Transmission From Sensor To Base Station
US Patent:
8618933, Dec 31, 2013
Filed:
Oct 2, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/866042
Inventors:
Scott L. Jensen - Carrier MS, US
George J. Drouant - Mandeville LA, US
George J. Drouant - Mandeville LA, US
Assignee:
The United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
G08B 1/08
US Classification:
3405393, 340442, 340447, 340683, 73146
Abstract:
A monitoring system is disclosed, which includes a base station and at least one sensor unit that is separate from the base station. The at least one sensor unit resides in a dormant state until it is awakened by the triggering of a vibration-sensitive switch. Once awakened, the sensor may take a measurement, and then transmit to the base station the measurement. Once data is transmitted from the sensor to the base station, the sensor may return to its dormant state. There may be various sensors for each base station and the various sensors may optionally measure different quantities, such as current, voltage, single-axis and/or three-axis magnetic fields.
In Situ Health Monitoring Of Piezoelectric Sensors
US Patent:
8401820, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Sep 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/566111
Inventors:
Scott L. Jensen - Carriere MS, US
George J. Drouant - Mandeville LA, US
George J. Drouant - Mandeville LA, US
Assignee:
United States of America as Represented by the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01H 11/08, G06F 15/00
US Classification:
702182, 702183, 702184, 702185, 324527
Abstract:
An in situ health monitoring apparatus may include an exciter circuit that applies a pulse to a piezoelectric transducer and a data processing system that determines the piezoelectric transducer's dynamic response to the first pulse. The dynamic response can be used to evaluate the operating range, health, and as-mounted resonance frequency of the transducer, as well as the strength of a coupling between the transducer and a structure and the health of the structure.
