20080280294 | Inherited Mitochondrial Dna Mutations in Cancer - A method is provided for identifying a subject likely to have, or at risk of developing a disease condition correlated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), including cancer, by identifying in the subject a missense mutation in a nucleic acid of Complex III, IV and/or V of the OXPHOS system. This invention also provides a method of identifying a likelihood of having a heritable predisposition to cancer by detecting a homoplasmic missense mutation in non-tumor tissue of an OXPHOS system gene. This invention also provides a method for detecting likelihood of having cancer, predisposition to cancer, and likelihood of passing a predisposition to cancer to progeny involving identifying in non-tumor tissue of the subject a missense mutation in a complex III, IV and/or V gene of the mitochondrial OXPHOS system. The mutation may be a nuclear or mitochondrial mutation. The invention has been exemplified with respect to prostate cancer. When the mutation is homoplasmic in non-tumor tissue this is an indication it is an inherited and inheritable trait, and that the subject is likely to pass on the mutation to her progeny in the case of mutations in mitochondrial DNA or his or her progeny in the case of mutations in nuclear DNA. Both homoplasmic and heteroplasmic mutations in non-tumor tissue can indicate the presence of cancer. | 11-13-2008 |

20110314451 | VALIDATING TRANSLATIONS OF EXTERNALIZED CONTENT FOR INCLUSION IN AN APPLICATION - A method and system for validating translated files for inclusion in an application being developed. Translatable files having externalized content in a single base language are sent for translation into other languages. Translated files resulting from a translation of the translatable files are received. Each translated file is statically and dynamically validated to detect error(s). The static validation is based on comparing the translatable files to the translated files. The dynamic validation is based on a simulation of how a user interface of the application presents the externalized content, without including an actual presentation of the externalized content by the user interface. Modified translated files that correct the detected error(s) are received and provided for a presentation of the externalized content by the user interface. | 12-22-2011 |

Application and configuration specific templates are provided to a user from the remote administrator for further customization by selecting or de-selecting configurations, applications and/or individual files or configuration entries. The templates may be controlled geographically by the IP address or identity associated with the user. A user's interaction with the customization is saved and the order of changes is maintained, so that when the templates are updated, the user's customizations can be re-applied. The administrator may override user settings based on rules, which may also be geographically determined. The file selection may also be altered based on media type and location, e.g., local backup vs. server backup. | 10-02-2014 |
20150046907 | VALIDATING TRANSLATIONS OF EXTERNALIZED CONTENT FOR INCLUSION IN AN APPLICATION - An approach is provided for validating translated files for inclusion in an application being developed. Content in a natural language is translated into another language and received as a first translation in a first translated file. Based on an error condition indicated by simulations of loading and presenting the first translation in a user interface of the application, a syntax error that causes the error condition is determined. The syntax error can include a lack of a match between a key and exactly one value, a missing key, or a mismatch of placeholders in the first translated file. Responsive to a receipt of a second translation of the content that includes the correction of the syntax error, and based on simulations of loading and presenting the second translation in the interface not indicating the error condition, the second translation is presented at runtime without causing the application to stop running. | 02-12-2015 |
