Title: Diagnostic methods for determining treatment
Inventor: COON JOHN S
IPC: C12N9/12
Filed: 2007-05-08
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for identifying cancer patients susceptible to effective treatment with inhibitors of the tyrosine kinase activity of EGFR. The invention is based on the discovery that polysomy of chromosome 7 can be used to selectively identify cancer patients that are likely to be successfully treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors or agents that otherwise function similarly to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The invention is based on the use of nucleic acid technology where nucleic acid probes are allowed to hybridize to cell samples and the number of copies of particular genetic regions quantified. The methods for identifying cancer patients of the invention can be enhanced by determination of expression of pAKT protein in patient samples. The invention also contemplates the treatment of those patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Title: Hockey goal scoring system and target apparatus
Inventor: HENNING BRETT E
IPC: A63B71/06
Filed: 2009-11-03
Abstract: A two part hockey scoring system based on a shooters position in the offensive zone in relation to the hockey goal. It consists of a scaled overhead diagram of the offensive area on a hockey rink divided into 5 individual zones based on angles and distance to the net.  These zones are uniquely colored on the diagram. On the ice an improved hockey target apparatus with 6 holes attaches to the hockey net. The 6 distinct holes are outlined by 1-4 colors matching the overhead diagram. The colors outlining the holes match the colors of a particular zone so the player knows the best probability of scoring is to shoot at the zones corresponding targets. This allows progressive training of a hockey players scoring skills including quick release through an understanding of shooting angles based on position in the offensive zone.
