20140213472 | Head and Neck Cancer Biomarkers - A method for predicting the response to treatment in a patient suffering from a head or neck cancer including: obtaining a biological sample for the patient; measuring the expression level of several gene and using the measurement to predict a patient's response to treatment. The methods may include predicting the treatment response in a patient having virally-induced head or neck cancer; and/or using the prediction to treat the patient. | 07-31-2014 |

20080296111 | Lock-up clutch control method - A torque converter lock-up clutch may be controlled by a lock-up clutch regulator control valve. The valve is utilized to selectively direct a fluid to the torque converter or to a pressure regulator valve. For example, in a hydrodynamic condition of the torque converter, the valve permits fluid to flow to the torque converter. In a lock-up condition of the torque converter, the valve directs fluid to a pressure regulator valve which selectively permits pressure to build in the torque converter. | 12-04-2008 |

20120076763 | COMBINATION ANTI-HIV VECTORS, TARGETING VECTORS, AND METHODS OF USE - Recombinant lentiviral vectors containing at least: a lentiviral backbone comprising essential lentiviral sequences for integration into a target cell genome; a nucleic acid encoding a CCR5 RNAi; and an expression control element that regulates expression of the nucleic acid encoding the CCR5 RNAi element, are provided by this invention. In an alternative aspect, the vector also contains polynucleotides encoding TRIMS alpha and HIV TAR decoy sequences along with gene expression regulation elements such as promoters operatively linked to the polynucleotides. The vectors are combined with packaging plasmid and envelope plasmids and optionally conjugated to cell-specific targeting antibodies. Diagnostic and therapeutic methods for using the compositions are further provided herein. | 03-29-2012 |
20120114618 | Mesenchymal Stem Cells Producing Inhibitory RNA for Disease Modification - Compositions and methods for delivering a siRNA, dsRNA, or miRNA polynucleotide into a target cell comprising contacting the target cell with a mesenchymal stem cell, which mesenchymal stem cell comprises an exogenous DNA sequence expressing the siRNA or dsRNA polynucleotide, thereby delivering the siRNA, dsRNA, or miRNA polynucleotide to the target cell through a cellular protrusion or a microvesicle. | 05-10-2012 |

20150372455 | Crossed Nanobeam Structure for a Low-Threshold Germanium Laser - A crossed nanobeam structure for strain engineering in semiconductor devices is provided. For example, such a structure can be used for a low-threshold germanium laser. While the photonic crystal nanobeam enables light confinement in a subwavelength volume with small optical loss, another crossing nanobeam induces high tensile strain in the small region where the optical mode is tightly confined. As maintaining a small optical loss and a high tensile strain reduces the required pumping for achieving net optical gain beyond cavity losses, this technique can be used to develop an extremely low-threshold Ge laser source. Moreover, the structure can be easily integrated into electronic and photonic circuits. | 12-24-2015 |

20100090887 | MULTI-PIXEL HIGH-RESOLUTION THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING RADAR - A three-dimensional imaging radar operating at high frequency e.g., 670 GHz radar using low phase-noise synthesizers and a fast chirper to generate a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) waveform, is disclosed that operates with a multiplexed beam to obtain range information simultaneously on multiple pixels of a target. A source transmit beam may be divided by a hybrid coupler into multiple transmit beams multiplexed together and directed to be reflected off a target and return as a single receive beam which is demultiplexed and processed to reveal range information of separate pixels of the target associated with each transmit beam simultaneously. The multiple transmit beams may be developed with appropriate optics to be temporally and spatially differentiated before being directed to the target. Temporal differentiation corresponds to a different intermediate frequencies separating the range information of the multiple pixels. Collinear transmit beams having differentiated polarizations may also be implemented. | 04-15-2010 |
