20160049021 | AIRCRAFT ELECTRONIC FINGERPRINT AND MONITORING PERFORMANCE OF AN AIRCRAFT COMPONENT USING THE AIRCRAFT'S ELECTRONIC FINGERPRINT - An initial electronic fingerprint for a vehicle and selected component of the vehicle, e.g. an aircraft windshield having a heatable member, is made. During operation of the aircraft, the initial electronic fingerprint of the aircraft and a real time electronic fingerprint of the aircraft are compared to determine the operating performance of the heatable member. The parameter that provides the performance of the component includes a time count within a predetermined time period. As the time count increases during the predetermined time period, the performance of the heatable member toward unacceptable performance increases. | 02-18-2016 |

20150361507 | TERT PROMOTER MUTATIONS IN GLIOMAS AND A SUBSET OF TUMORS - We surveyed 1,230 tumors of 60 different types and found that tumors could be divided into types with low (<15%) and high (≧15%) frequencies of TERT promoter mutations. The nine TERT-high tumor types almost always originated in tissues with relatively low rates of self renewal, including melanomas, liposarcomas, hepatocellular carcinomas, urothelial carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas of the tongue, medulloblastomas, and subtypes of gliomas (including 83% of primary glioblastoma, the most common brain tumor type). TERT and ATRX mutations were mutually exclusive, suggesting that these two genetic mechanisms confer equivalent selective growth advantages. In addition to their implications for understanding the relationship between telomeres and tumorigenesis, TERT mutations provide a biomarker for the early detection of urinary tract and liver tumors and aid in the classification and prognostication of brain tumors. | 12-17-2015 |

20140045881 | GENES FREQUENTLY ALTERED IN PANCREATIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS - Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PanNETs) are a rare but clinically important form of pancreatic neoplasia. To explore the genetic basis of PanNETs, we determined the exomic sequences of ten non-familial PanNETs and then screened the most commonly mutated genes in 58 additional PanNETs. Remarkably, the most frequently mutated genes specify proteins implicated in chromatin remodeling: 44% of the tumors had somatic inactivating mutations in MEN-1, which encodes menin, a component of a histone methyltransferase complex; and 43% had mutations in genes encoding either of the two subunits of a transcription/chromatin remodeling complex consisting of DAXX (death-domain associated protein) and ATRX (alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked). Clinically, mutations in the MEN1 and DAXX/ATRX genes were associated with better prognosis. We also found mutations in genes in the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway in 14% of the tumors, a finding that could potentially be used to stratify patients for treatment with mTOR inhibitors. | 02-13-2014 |
