20110053804 | Gene Signatures for the Prognosis of Cancer - The cytokine TGFβ, in the tumor microenvironment, primes cancer cells for metastasis to the lungs. TGFβ response status (TBRS) can be determined by comparing expression levels of a panel of genes from cancer cells to the expression levels of the same genes in epithelial cell lines before and after induction with TGFβ. A TGFβ gene response signature reveals a clinical association between TGFβ activity in primary estrogen receptor negative (ER−) tumors and risk of lung metastasis. Further, combining the gene signature of the present invention with the known lung metastasis signature (LMS) increases the predictive value of the LMS considerably. | 03-03-2011 |

20110189353 | Methods of Flavor Encapsulation and Matrix-Assisted Concentration of Aqueous Foods and Products Produced Therefrom - Flavor encapsulation is generally performed by mixing flavor with a prolamin solution and drying the mixture into powdered forms of encapsulated flavor. In one embodiment, flavor and zein are separately dispersed in an alcohol-water mixture of appropriate ratio prior to mixing. In another embodiment, an aqueous food comprising bioactive components is mixed with the prolamin solution, thereby initiating precipitation of the prolamin and concentration of the bioactive components in said aqueous food. Resulting powdered forms of encapsulated flavor comprise the bioactive components from the aqueous food. In another embodiment, a two-phase drying process may be employed comprising removal of alcohol for evaporation-induced-self-assembly of zein microstructures, followed by removal of remaining water to produce said powdered form. | 08-04-2011 |

20090070756 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESOURCE UTILIZATION-BASED THROTTLING OF SOFTWARE UPDATES - The subject application is directed to a system and method for resource utilization-based throttling of software updates. A transfer of updated software is first commenced to a document processing device so as to perform an update of operational software associated with the device. Resource utilization associated with the operation of the document processing device is then sensed. In accordance with an output of the sensed resource utilization, an update process is throttled associated with the document processing device and the updated software. | 03-12-2009 |
