| 20110241153 | METHOD FOR THIN FILM THERMOELECTRIC MODULE FABRICATION - Methods of fabrication of a thermoelectric module from thin film thermoelectric material are disclosed. In general, a thin film thermoelectric module is fabricated by first forming an N-type thin film thermoelectric material layer and one or more metallization layers on a substrate. The one or more metallization layers and the N-type thin film thermoelectric material layer are etched to form a number of N-type thermoelectric material legs. A first electrode assembly is then bonded to a first portion of the N-type thermoelectric material legs, and the first electrode assembly including the first portion of the N-type thermoelectric material legs is removed from the substrate. In a similar manner, a second electrode assembly is bonded to a first portion of a number of P-type thermoelectric material legs. The first and second electrode assemblies are then bonded using a flip-chip bonding process to complete the fabrication of the thermoelectric module. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110171646 | MICRORNA EXPRESSION PROFILE ASSOCIATED WITH PANCREATIC CANCER - Methods are provided for diagnosing whether a subject has, or is at risk of developing, pancreatic cancer. The methods include measuring the level of at least one miR gene product in a biological sample derived from the subject's pancreas. An alteration in the level of the miR gene product in the biological sample as compared to the level of a corresponding miR gene product in a control sample, is indicative of the subject either having, or being at risk for developing, pancreatic cancer | 07-14-2011 |
| 20090325167 | METHOD OF USING CYTOKINE ASSAY TO DIAGNOSE, TREAT, AND EVALUATE INFLAMMATORY AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES - The invention provides methods for diagnosing, treating, or evaluating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases by sampling peripheral blood, serum, plasma, tissue, cerebrospinal fluit, or other bodily fluids from a human subject having a suspected diagnosis. The sample is analyzed for the presence and amount of certain cytokines, which provides the diagnosis, prognosis or evaluation of therapeutic response. | 12-31-2009 |
