20110313010COMBINATION OF LOCAL TEMOZOLOMIDE WITH LOCAL BCNU - The additive effect of combined intracranial carmustine (“BCNU”) with intracranial temozolomide (“TMZ”), and particularly in combination with radiation (“XRT”), in the treatment of two rat intracranial glioma models, the 9L gliosarcoma and the F98 glioma, demonstrates that local delivery of both drugs, especially in combination with radiation, is far more effective than delivery of either drug alone or one systemically and one locally, either with or without radiation. The triple therapy showed a significant improvement in survival when compared to controls (p=0.0004), local BCNU (p=0.0043), oral TMZ (p=0.0026), local TMZ (p=0.0105), and the combinations of either BCNU and XRT (p=0.0378) or oral TMZ and local BCNU (p=0.0154).12-22-2011

20100093601COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS TO PROTECT CELLS BY BLOCKING ENTRY OF PATHOGEN PROTEINS - Pathogenic effector proteins which include one or more RxLR, dEER, Pexel or analogous motifs are blocked from entry into plant or animal cells by binding one or more of the motifs with a blocking compound which prevents binding of phosphoinositides or other polar lipids to the motifs which is a prerequisite for translocation of the pathogenic effector proteins into the plant or animal cell. The blocking compounds can take a variety of forms including synthetic peptides or the hydrophilic head-groups of phosphoinositides, phosphatidic acids, phospholipids, or sphingolipids. Suitable blocking compounds can be identified by assays demonstrating binding to RxLR, dEER, Pexel or analogous motifs.

20100281461AUTOMATIC CONFIGURATION OF PROJECT SYSTEM FROM PROJECT CAPABILITIES - A project system is automatically configured from project capabilities determined from an instance of a build system by a project capabilities analyzer. A flexible configuration based build system defines the consuming project system. Results of an evaluated project file are used to define the overall capabilities of the build system.

Changes in the project capabilities due to a reevaluation of a result of a build can then redefine and reassemble the project system code. Hence project system configuration is data-driven rather than user-defined and utilizes a flexible, configuration based build system to define the consuming project system.11-04-2010

The frequency location of the spike can depend upon the sizes of the patches, with size impacting manufacturability. The patches can be sized such that the spike falls within an operating frequency of the transmitting signal but is suppressed, so the cable meets return loss specifications while offering manufacturing advantage.04-29-2010

20090090430Apparatus and method for controlling the filling and emptying of a fluid container - An apparatus and method for emptying and filling a fluid container. A flow-actuated valve inside a fill tube regulates the flow through the fill tube. A cap containing the valve and a vent tube can be installed on a modified bottle used to supply water dispensers, thus enabling a user to continuously replenish the bottle from a remote supply. Alternatively, a cap containing the valve, a vent tube, and two fluid level sensors can be installed on a conventional bottle. A user is thus relieved of the burden of repetitive bottle changing, and is able to treat the water to his own specifications.04-09-2009

20080249820CONSISTENCY MODELING OF HEALTHCARE CLAIMS TO DETECT FRAUD AND ABUSE - Transaction-based behavioral profiling, whereby the entity to be profiled is represented by a stream of transactions, is required in a variety of data mining and predictive modeling applications. An approach is described for assessing inconsistency in the activity of an entity, as a way of detecting fraud and abuse, using service-code information available on each transaction. Inconsistency is based on the concept that certain service-codes naturally co-occur more than do others. An assessment is made of activity consistency looking at the overall activity of an individual entity, as well as looking at the interaction of entities. Several approaches for measuring consistency are provided, including one inspired by latent semantic analysis as used in text analysis. While the description is in the context of fraud detection in healthcare, the techniques are relevant to application in other industries and for purposes other than fraud detection.10-09-2008
