Title: Utilisation du profilage de l'expression génique pour prédire la survie d'un patient atteint de cancer
Inventor: SHAUGHNESSY JOHN D
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2006-06-08
Abstract: Le profilage de l'expression génique chez des patients atteints de myélome multiple permet d'identifier des gènes qui permettent de distinguer entre des patients à mort  subséquente rapide et des patients à longue survie après traitement. Une faible survie est liée à une surexpression de gènes tels que ASPM, 0PN3 et CKSlB localisés dans le chromosome Iq. Vu l'amplification fréquente de Iq dans de nombreux cancers, il est possible d'utiliser ces gènes comme marqueurs de pronostic puissants et comme cibles thérapeutiques pour le myélome multiple et d'autres cancers.

Abstract: The line hydraulic pressure setting portion (160) sets the line hydraulic pressure P L , which is the base pressure for the required shift control pressure Pin and the required belt clamping pressure Pd, based on the higher of the required pressures Pin and Pd. At this time, if the continuously variable transmission (18) is to be shifted up, the required Pin calculating portion (162) calculates the required shift control pressure Pin based on one of the target speed ratio γ* and the actual speed ratio γ with which the required shift pressure Pv is calculated to be higher than with the other. As such, the required shift control pressure Pin is set to the minimum necessary level for shifting up the continuously variable transmission (18) and the line hydraulic pressure P L  is appropriately set to a level for obtaining the required shift control pressure Pin.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device (100), in which a liquid crystal layer is held between a pair of substrates (10,20), includes a plurality of pixels (100a) and a structured retardation layer (27) inside the cell on one of the substrates. Each of the plurality of pixels includes a transmissive area (100r) and a reflective area (100t). The retardation layer is arranged at a position that at least overlaps the reflective areas of adjacent pixels. The rectangularly shaped retardation layer has first and second long edges, the first of which is located in one pixel while the second edge is arranged on the adjacent pixel. The edges may be step shaped or tapered. 
The retarder scheme may be employed in Fringe Field Switching (FFS) or In-Plane Switching (IPS) active matrix LCDs. While mainly applicable to transflective devices, the arrangement can be used in reflective or transmissive LCDs. 
Wide tapered edges of an internal retarder produce variations in the LC cell gap and in the phase shift produced by the retarder at its edges. These variations lead to a drop in optical contrast. 
By arranging for a rectangular internal retarder to extend over a row or column of pixels, so that its long edges lie in different pixels and/or its short edges (ends) are located outside the viewing area, the undesirable effect of the edges on the contrast can be evened out.
