Inventor: REED JOHN C
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 2002-05-07
Abstract: This invention provides methods for determining a prognosis for survival for a cancer patient. One method involves (a) measuring a level of a TUCAN in a neoplastic cell-containing sample from the cancer patient, and (b) comparing the level of TUCAN in the sample to a reference level of TUCAN, wherein a lo w level of TUCAN in the sample correlates with increased survival of the patient. Another method involves (a) measuring a level of TUCAN in a neoplastic cell-containing sample from the cancer patient, and (b) classifyi ng the patient as belonging to either a first or second group of patients, wherein the first group of patients having low levels of TUCAN is classified as having an increased likelihood of survival compared to the second group o f patients having high level of TUCAN.

comparator compares the first input to a DC reference voltage. The output of the
comparator is then sampled via a flip flop clocked by the local oscillator, with the flip
flop outputting a data bit stream representative of the envelope of the RF signal

Abstract: A fluid flow system (10) for a gas turbine engine (12)
provides combustion fuel to a main pump (48) and an actuator
pump (50) significantly reducing heat generation at low flow
demand, while regulating actuator flow temperature at high
flow demand. Fuel flow from the actuator pump (50) in excess
of the actuators (60) needs is directed through an actuator
minimum pressure valve (58) and into a thermal bypass valve
(TBV) (54). Depending upon the temperature of the fuel, the
TBV (54) determines the path of the excess actuator pump fluid
flow. The TBV (54) divides the fuel flow between being
recirculated to the actuator pump inlet (62) and the main pump
output flow path (66) to the engine fuel input conduit (68).
The engine actuators (60) are thereby assured of receiving flow
which preclude freezing of water entrained in the fuel. When
there is minimal concern with the possibility of freezing
water entrained in the fuel, the TBV (54) passes a greater
percentage of fuel through to join together in the engine
fuel input conduit (68).
