Separately, Genentech is doing early-stage testing of 2C4, a drug that works by a novel mechanism to simultaneously disrupt both Her-2 and EGF in a variety of tumor types.
The Jetlev design is still in its early days, says Mr. Katz, and a friendlier, more forgiving control mechanism is certainly on the drawing boards for Jetlev 2.0.
Embedded inside it is a batteryless RF switch, and the way it works is that upon the release of the spring mechanism inside, a tiny bit of power is generated for the 2.4GHz RF transmission ( ZigBee compatible), and whatever device is connected to the RF control outlet on the other end will receive the on or off signal.
