20100159481 | DETECTION OF HYPERTENSION USING GLUCURONIDATED METABOLIC PRODUCTS - A method of assessing arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites-dependent hypertension by measuring glucuronidated dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs) and DHET metabolites in a biological sample which contains the epitopes unique to DHET (using any methods including GC/MS, LC/MS or ELISA). An example of the glucuronidated DHET metabolite is DHET-alcohols such as omega or omega-1 oxidated DHET and DHET esterified glycerol. The method further includes determining the amount of glucuronidated molecules containing a DHET-specific epitope which is immunoreactive with antibodies produced against DHETs. | 06-24-2010 |

20090017452 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS RELATING TO THE PHARMACOGENETICS OF DIFFERENT GENE VARIANTS - The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for determining the presence or absence of polymorphisms within an ABCC2, UGT1A1, and/or SLCO1B1 gene and correlating these polymorphisms with activity levels of their gene products and making evaluations regarding the effect on their substrates, particularly those substrates that are drugs. In addition, there are methods and compositions of evaluating the risk of an individual for developing toxicity or adverse event(s) to an ABCC2, UGT1A1, and/or SLCO1B1 substrate. In some embodiments, the invention concerns methods and compositions for determining the presence or absence of ABCC2 3972C>T variant and predicting or anticipating the level of activity of ABCC2 and determining dosages of an ABCC2 drug substrate, such as irinotecan, in a patient. Such methods and compositions can be used to evaluate whether irinotecan-based therapy, or therapy involving other ABCC2 substrates, may pose toxicity problems if given to a particular patient or predicting their efficacy. Alterations in suggested therapy may ensue based on genotyping results. | 01-15-2009 |

20120012469 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING BORES - In a method for producing bores, a tool connected as a cathode and a workpiece connected as an anode are connected to a voltage source. The workpiece and the tool are connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner via an electrolyte, and an electrical potential difference between the workpiece and the tool is formed at least at times for removing material from the workpiece. Furthermore, the workpiece and the tool are subjected to a relative movement in relation to one another for producing the bore. The potential difference between the workpiece and the tool is formed by a corresponding voltage level in such a way that a gas-vapor envelope which surrounds the tool is formed. | 01-19-2012 |

20150226770 | METHOD OF MONITORING AN INDUCTIVE-HEATING APPARATUS - A device for inductively heating a workpiece has an inductive load path formed by an induction coil juxtaposed with the workpiece and an AC voltage applied across the induction coil and dropping during heating. According to the method the level of the AC voltage is determined. From this determination a voltage-time area over the duration of the heating process is calculated. The determined voltage-time area is then compared to a previously established reference area. | 08-13-2015 |

20080219815 | HIGH TEMPERATURE ANTI-DROOP END EFFECTOR FOR SUBSTRATE TRANSFER - Embodiments of the present invention relates to high temperature anti-droop end effectors for transferring semiconductor substrates. One embodiment of the present invention provides an end effector for using with a substrate handler. The end effector comprises a free end having a substrate supporting plane configured to support a substrate and positioned that substrate at a first angle relative to a horizontal plane. The end effector comprises a fixed end configured to be mounted to the substrate handler, wherein the end effector is mounted to the substrate handler at a position that the substrate supporting plane is at a second angle relative to the horizontal plane when no substrate is disposed on the free end, and the first angle is different from the second angle. | 09-11-2008 |
