20120193354 | FLEXIBLE CONTAINER ASSEMBLY AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THE SAME - A flexible container assembly and methods for making and using such an assembly are disclosed herein. The assembly is configured to hold an amount of material, such as heavy and/or bulky material (e.g., industrial, job or work site waste material). In some embodiments, the assembly includes a support structure and a flexible container structure configured to interface with, so as to be supported at least in part by, the support structure. | 08-02-2012 |
20120207406 | System for Providing Flood Protection and Method of Implementing Same - A flood protection bag system includes a troughlike structure having longitudinally-extending sidewalls and a bottom wall connected therebetween, along with one or more internal walls, the internal walls serving to divide the troughlike structure into a plurality of bag chambers. The longitudinally-extending sidewalls are continuous and seamless between the ends of the troughlike structure, and the bag system can be made of a plastic such as polypropylene. In one embodiment, the bag system may be implemented in conjunction with other such bag system(s). Also, in one embodiment, a frame structure is employed to support the bag chamber(s) during filling thereof with sand or other filling material, in a manner whereby tension is applied to each of the corners of the given bag chamber being filled. Further, in one embodiment, the bag chambers are covered by way of a bag top that is openable or removable relative to the bag system. | 08-16-2012 |

20110248735 | Probecard System and Method - A microelectronic contactor assembly can include a probe head having microelectronic contactors for contacting terminals of semiconductor devices to test the semiconductor devices. A stiffener assembly can provide mechanical support to microelectronic contactors and for connecting a probe card assembly to a prober machine. A stiffener assembly may include first and second stiffener bodies that are connected together at their central portions with adjustment mechanisms such as three differential screw mechanisms. A probe head may be attached to a first stiffener body at locations outside its central portion, while a prober machine may be attached to a second stiffener body at locations outside its central portion. The first and second stiffener bodies may have different coefficients of thermal expansion. The stiffener assembly allows for differential thermal expansion of various components of the microelectronic contactor assembly while minimizing accompanying dimensional distortion that could interfere with contacting the terminals of semiconductor devices. The adjustment mechanisms allow for quick, sensitive adjustment of the positions of microelectronic contactors relative to semiconductor devices to be tested. | 10-13-2011 |
20130285688 | LATERALLY DRIVEN PROBES FOR SEMICONDUCTOR TESTING - A method for testing a semiconductor device. The method comprises moving a probe in a vertical direction towards an electrical structure on a semiconductor device to position the probe alongside the electrical structure. A tip of the probe is positioned lower than an elevation of an outermost periphery of the electrical structure. The method also includes moving the probe in a lateral direction towards the electrical structure to contact the electrical structure. The probe tip mechanically and electrically engages the electrical structure. | 10-31-2013 |
20140070828 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MASSIVELY PARALLEL MULTI-WAFER TEST - Disclosed herein is a cost effective, efficient, massively parallel multi-wafer test cell. Additionally, this test cell can be used for both single-touchdown and multiple-touchdown applications. The invention uses a novel “split-cartridge” design, combined with a method for aligning wafers when they are separated from the probe card assembly, to create a cost effective, efficient multi-wafer test cell. A “probe-card stops” design may be used within the cartridge to simplify the overall cartridge design and operation. | 03-13-2014 |

20110111510 | METHODS TO EVALUATE CYTOCHROME P450 2C19 ISOENZYME ACTIVITY USING A BREATH TEST - The present invention relates, generally to a method of determining and assessing cytochrome P450 2C19-related (CYP2C19) metabolic capacity in an individual mammalian subject via a breath assay, by determining the relative amount of | 05-12-2011 |
20120088247 | MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR TREATING PATIENTS WITH TAXOXIFEN - A pathway for the metabolism of tamoxifen is identified including the activity of at least 2 different isoforms of UGY2B7. This pathway includes isozymes of CYP3A which convert tamoxifen (TAM) to N-desmethyl-TAM, which is then converted to endoxifen by the action of CYP2D6. Once formed, endoxifen may be degraded by at least one isozyme of UGT2B7. Patients that have highly active isoforms of CYP2D6 and slow acting isoforms of UGT2B7 accumulate high levels of endoxifen and are good candidates for treatment with tamoxifen. Also disclosed are methods for screening patients with a high likelihood of benefiting from treatment with tamoxifen. These methods include testing patients for various alleles of genes known to be involved in tamoxifen metabolism and treating patients accordingly. | 04-12-2012 |
