will then be made freely available to the 

public on a nondiscriminatory basis. 

The venture will enable SAEC to 

identify DNA-variants useful in 

understanding and predicting the risk of 

drug induced serious adverse events 

with shared financial risk and without 

the duplication of effort that would 

result from the work of individual 

members. As the research results are 

gathered, they will be placed in the 

public domain for use by the worldwide 

medical research community in 

identifying specific genes involved in 

causing serious adverse events, thereby 

facilitating downstream research and 

development of therapeutic diagnostic 

and pharmaceutical products.

Oyamo-shi, Japan; Racor, Modesto, Ca. 

The purpose and nature of the 

Cooperative Research Group on 

Common Rail Fuel Systems is to 

determine the filtration requirements 

needed to control significant abrasive 

wear, and to determine the most 

sensitive areas in the fuel injection 

system to identify critical components. 

To attain such, a filtration assessment 

system and test protocol for testing 

future systems will be developed. The 

test protocol will include conditions, 

such as vibration, to determine 

environmental factors that may affect 

the protocol and the protocol will be 

verified by different degrees of filtration 

using various common rail systems. A 

standardized filter test method to meet 

industry standards will also be 

recommended. 

Membership in this research group 

remains open, and the participants
