Abstract: The present invention is in the fields of cell biology, immunology and oncology. The invention relates to the discovery that there is a relationship between the expression levels of the tumor suppressor gene smad4 (also known as dpc4) and integrin .alpha.v.beta.6, and the responsiveness of patient populations to .alpha.v.beta.6-active compounds and compositions (e.g., antibodies and other ligands that bind .alpha.v.beta.6), particularly in cancer cells from such patient populations, more particularly on carcinomas such as pancreatic carcinomas. The invention thus provides methods for determining the responsiveness of tumor cells (particularly those from pancreatic tumors) to such .alpha.v.beta.6-active compounds and compositions by examining the expression of .alpha.v.beta.6 and smad4 by the tumor cells, as well as methods of diagnosis and treatment/prevention of tumor progression using ligands, including antibodies and small molecule drugs, that bind to integrin .alpha.v.beta.6 on the surfaces of tumor cells and/or that block one or more components of the TGF-.beta. pathway, particularly in 5/<=.alpha.rf4-deficient tumor cells.

Abstract: A fluid delivery skid with a pre-fill system for supplying fluid has one or more stages including a first valve and a second valve, each having an open and closed position. The stages have active and inactive states to provide a desired flow rate of fluid to an apparatus for distribution of the fluid. In an active state, fluid is received in the stage and pressurized with the first valve open and the second valve closed. Further, in an active state, fluid is released with the first valve closed and the second open. In an inactive state, at least the second valve is closed. A  control unit is connected to a pump unit and controls operation of the pump to regulate the stages to supply pressure at a level determined to achieve the desired flow rate.

Title: Method and system for operating a camera flash on a mobile device
Inventor: BOOK CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G03B15/05
Filed: 2009-05-08
Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein for a method and related apparatus for safely operating a camera flash on a mobile device powered by a battery module. Upon determination that the camera flash needs to be activated the method comprises measuring several battery parameters including the voltage and temperature of the battery module. An equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the battery module is determined based on the battery temperature. The maximum flash current is then determined based on the battery voltage, and ESR along with potential current loads that may occur during operation of the camera flash, and a minimum battery voltage for safe operation of the mobile device where the battery voltage has been adjusted if needed. The device is then configured to draw a current from the battery module that is not greater than the maximum flash current.

Inventor: BEEDGEN CHRISTIAN F
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2007-12-28
Abstract: A logging system includes an event receiver and a storage manager. The receiver receives log data, processes it, and outputs a data "chunk." The manager receives data chunks and stores them so that they can be queried. The receiver includes buffers that store events and a metadata structure that stores metadata about the contents of the buffers. The metadata includes a unique identifier associated with the receiver, the number of events in the buffers, and, for each "field of interest," a minimum value and a maximum value that reflect the range of values of that field over all of the events in the buffers. A chunk includes the metadata structure and a compressed version of the contents of the buffers. The metadata structure acts as a search index when querying event data. The logging system can be used in conjunction with a security information/event management (SIEM) system.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a tip-resisting caster which is adapted to provide tip resistance for a barbecue grill when tip tested for compliance with Canadian Standards Agency standard no. 1.6, Section 2.18.4 The preferred caster of the present invention comprises a chassis, a connector such as a flange or a post, at least one wheel, and a kickstand or the like. The connector depends upwardly from the chassis, thereby defining a longitudinal axis for the caster, and is operable for attachment to an object desired to be rolled. There are preferably two wheels which are connected to the chassis about a rotational axis, whereby the rotational axis is generally transverse to the longitudinal axis and is offset from the longitudinal axis towards a rear side of the caster. Due to the offset between the rotational axis and the longitudinal axis, the wheels are biased towards a rear side of the caster. The kickstand is rigidly attached to the caster and projects from the caster towards a front side of the caster, whereby a line drawn tangent with both the wheel and the kickstand is offset from the longitudinal axis by at least 75°. In this manner, the kickstand is adapted to contact a horizontal surface when the barbecue grill is inclined to 15°.
