'The Tracker consisted of a handheld unit, with an antenna mounted on a plastic handgrip, and a belt-mounted box slightly smaller than a VHS cassette, built to contain “carbo-crystallized” software cards programmed, Quattlebaum said, with the specific frequency of whatever the user wished to find. No batteries were necessary. The Tracker was powered by the static electricity created by the operator’s own body; |
| 15:43 |
ascii_field |
when it found what it was looking for, the antenna automatically turned to point at its quarry. Prices for the device varied from $395 for a basic model to $8,000 for one capable of locating individual human beings, which required a Polaroid photograph of the person to be loaded into the programming box. Quadro’s golf ball-finding variant, the Gopher, was available by mail order for just $69.' |

"How about thalidamide? Thalidamide appears inactive in NCI-60 screens and appears to fail to inhibit angiogensis in in vitro screen. Thalidamide tested in vivo, however, significantly inhibits tumor growth in xenograft models that use multiple myeloma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, lung cancer, cervical cancer, and melanoma.
