20090038845	PIVOTING STRAIN RELIEF BAR FOR DATA PATCH PANELS - A pivoting strain relief bar assembly that is comprised of a patch panel rotatably coupled to a strain relief bar, where the patch panel and strain relief bar are also coupled to a conventional rack capable of supporting telecommunications or other electronic equipment. Cables that are to be terminated to the patch panel are secured to and supported by the strain relief bar. The strain relief bar is capable of locking in a substantially horizontal position and thus remains fixed while supporting a large number of network cables. The strain relief bar can also be unlocked and rotated, allowing a technician to access the patch panel without having to unnecessarily disconnect cables.	02-12-2009
20090207577	Modular Stackable Angled Patch Panel for Enclosure - A modular patch panel module is mountable on an electronics enclosure and includes an angled patch face and mounting structure that enables stacking of modular patch panels without interference of patch panel cords with the top of the enclosure or another patch panel stacked thereon. The patch panel modules may each contain a plurality of RJ-45 ports and punchdown blocks. A cover plate may snap fit to the module to retain the patch panel electrical components therebetween.	08-20-2009

20090136915	Methods and compositions for determining altered susceptibility of HIV-1 to anti-HIV drugs - This invention relates, in part, to methods and compositions for determining altered susceptibility of a human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”) to the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (“NNRTIs”) efavirenz (“EFV”), nevirapine (“NVP”), and delavirdine (“DLV”), the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor AZT, and the integrase strand transfer inhibitors diketo acid 1, diketo acid 2, and L-870,810 by detecting the presence of a mutation or combinations of mutations in the gene encoding HIV reverse transcriptase that are associated with altered susceptibility to the anti-HIV drugs.	05-28-2009
20090215028	Methods and Compositions for Determining Anti-HIV Drug Susceptibility and Replication Capacity of HIV - This invention relates, in part, to methods and compositions for determining the susceptibility of an HIV to an anti-HIV drug or the replication capacity of an HIV. In certain embodiments, the methods comprise culturing a host cell in the presence of the anti-HIV drug, measuring the activity of the indicator gene in the host cell; and comparing the activity of the indicator gene as measured with a reference activity of the indicator gene. In certain embodiments, the difference between the measured activity of the indicator gene relative to the reference activity correlates with the susceptibility of the HIV to the anti-HIV drug, thereby determining the susceptibility of the HIV to the anti-HIV drug. In certain embodiments, the difference between the measured activity of the indicator gene relative to the reference activity indicates the replication capacity of the HFV, thereby determining the replication capacity of the HIV. In certain embodiments, the host cell comprises a patient-derived segment and an indicator gene. In certain embodiments, the patient-derived segment comprises a nucleic acid sequence that encodes integrase or RNAse H.	08-27-2009
