20090194248 | METHOD OF OPERATING A DIE CASTING RECIPROCATOR - A method for operating an automated reciprocator for applying lubricant in a die casting system. As a reciprocator is moved between two die halves and a fluid is applied to the dies with the reciprocator, a safety bar is moved ahead of the reciprocator. Any objects in the path of the reciprocator are detected by contact with the safety bar. If the safety bar contacts an object as the reciprocator is moving down, a sensor signals a control system and the reciprocator is stopped. | 08-06-2009 |

20090269798 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTING CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AGENTS - Described herein is a method and corresponding system, including reagents and assays, for determining the in vivo efficacy of drugs in the course of chemotherapy. The method can include identifying a patient having a condition, such as leukemia, that is potentially susceptible to one or more candidate drugs having a particular in vivo biochemical activity, such as the generation of reactive oxygen or nitrogen species. An in vitro biochemical assay is provided that corresponds to the biochemical activity, and a tissue sample is tested to determine the responsiveness of the tissue sample to the biochemical activity, for instance, the ability of the tissue sample to degrade or inhibit the active species (in this case, hydrogen peroxide), and thereby prevent its desired effect against the cancerous cells. A course of chemotherapy can be based, at least in part, on the responsiveness of the tissue sample to the biochemical activity. | 10-29-2009 |
