Title: Methods for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma
Inventor: PEALE FRANKLIN V JR
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells, such as renal cell carcinoma. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, such as renal cell carcinoma, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. The present invention is directed to novel methods of diagnosing and treating tumor, such as renal cell carcinoma or Wilms tumor.

Abstract: A subscriber loop remote control apparatus that allows communication terminals to transmit VLAN packets without imposing a load on a router. A subscriber loop remote control apparatus is provided with a virtual interface table for associating a subscriber premises terminal identifier individually assigned to a subscriber premises terminal connected through a communication cable to a port assigned to every packet of each group which constitutes a VLAN with the port number of the port to store and manage them. When receiving a packet, the subscriber loop remote control apparatus determines whether or not a subscriber premises terminal identifier contained in the packet matches any of those in the virtual interface table. When the subscriber premises terminal identifier matches one of those in the virtual interface table, the subscriber loop remote control apparatus returns and transmits the packet to the destination before the router side.

Title: System and method for filtering signals in a transceiver
Inventor: LEE SEUNG-WOOK
IPC: H04B1/38
Filed: 2004-08-27
Abstract: A system and method for filtering signals in a communications system reduces hardware and chip size requirements by selectively connecting a filter along transmitter and receiver paths of a transceiver. In operation, a controller generated signals for connecting the filter along the transmitter path when the transceiver is in transmitter mode and for connecting the filter along the receiver path when the transmitter is in receiver mode. The controller then generates additional signals for setting one or more parameters of the filter based on the path connected, or put differently based on the operational mode of the transceiver. In a variation, the controller sets the parameters of additional elements coupled to the filter as a way of further controlling processing of the transmitter and receiver signals.
