Patent Application for CD Screening Test

I previously discussed the following one-step CD screening test:

http://www.coeliac.info/immunochromatographic%20assay.htm

The U.S. Patent Application Publication fully describing the CD screening
test is available online.  If you install a free TIFF image viewer, you can
read and print the entire 8-page document complete with drawings and
diagrams of how the test strip works.  The U.S. patent number is
20020006633, published Jan. 17, 2002.  The patent can be viewed at:

http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

Enter "sorell" in the "Term 1" space.  Select "Inventer Name" in "Field
1".  Then click on "Search".  When the search completes, click on the
following to view the patent:

"20020006633 Assay for anti transglutaminase antibodies detection useful in
celicac disease diagnosis"

This will give you the text-only patent description.  You must click on
the "Images" button to view the diagrams, but only if you have a TIFF
viewer installed.  Without a TIFF image viewer, you can only view the text
of the patent description.  The following describes how to view U.S. patent
images with your browser:

I have AlternaTIFF,  http://www.alternatiff.com/ , installed on my system.
Installing this and getting it to work may be tricky for those of you not
too computer-savy.  You must display and print the patent documents one
page at a time using AlternaTIFF.  If you have an interest in technology,
in general, it's great to have the U.S Patent Office website setup to view
complete patent descriptions and images.
