20100301785 | Method and Apparatus for Electromagnetically Braking a Motor - An electromagnetic braking system and method is provided for selectively braking a motor using an electromagnetic brake having an electromagnet, a permanent magnet, a rotor assembly, and a brake pad. The brake assembly applies when the electromagnet is de-energized and releases when the electromagnet is energized. When applied the permanent magnet moves the brake pad into frictional engagement with a housing, and when released the electromagnet cancels the flux of the permanent magnet to allow a leaf spring to move the brake pad away from the housing. A controller has a DC/DC converter for converting a main bus voltage to a lower braking voltage based on certain parameters. The converter utilizes pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate the braking voltage. A calibrated gap is defined between the brake pad and permanent magnet when the brake assembly is released, and may be dynamically modified via the controller. | 12-02-2010 |

20090018900 | PARKING FACILITY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM - A parking access control system and a method of its operation in association with a parking facility. A customer operates a call box to initiate a communications session with an attendant control device operated by an attendant. In particular, the customer requests the attendant to control an exit gate so as to enable the customer to exit the parking facility with a vehicle. In response, the attendant may input into the attendant control device one of several available predetermined override conditions, which will be logged as an override transaction entry in a database in memory. After the override condition is entered, then the exit gate will operate so as to enable the customer to exit the parking facility. The override transaction entry further may also include an identification of the attendant. | 01-15-2009 |

20120214610 | OFFSET PUTTER GRIP - A grip for a golf putter, which grip restores squareness of address of a golf ball by the putter during a swing, where either or both of offset and undercut impair squareness of address. The grip may taper asymmetrically relative to the axis of the shaft of the putter golf club, or symmetrically, so as to impart offset to the right or offset to the left of the shaft. The degree and orientation of imparted offset are selected to compensate for the degree to which the original offset or undercut impair squareness of address. The grip may be circular or non-circular in cross section, and may be tapered along its length. | 08-23-2012 |

20130296408 | MEDULLOBLASTOMA GENES AS TARGETS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTICS - Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor of children. To identify the genetic alterations in this tumor type, we searched for copy number alterations using high density microarrays and sequenced all known protein-coding genes and miRNA genes using Sanger sequencing. We found that, on average, each tumor had 11 gene alterations, markedly fewer than in common adult cancers. In addition to alterations in the Hedgehog and Wnt pathways, our analysis led to the discovery of genes not previously known to be altered in MBs. Most notably, inactivating mutations of the histone H3K4 trimethylase genes MLL2 or MLL3 were identified in 16% of MB patients. These results demonstrate key differences between the genetic landscapes of adult and childhood cancers, highlight dysregulation of developmental pathways as an important mechanism underlying MBs, and identify a role for a specific type of histone methylation in human tumorigenesis. | 11-07-2013 |

20120202207 | GENETIC ALTERATIONS IN ISOCITRATE DEHYDROGENASE AND OTHER GENES IN MALIGNANT GLIOMA - We found mutations of the R132 residue of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) in the majority of grade II and III astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas as well as in glioblastomas that develop from these lower grade lesions. Those tumors without mutations in IDH1 often had mutations at the analogous R172 residue of the closely related IDH2 gene. These findings have important implications for the pathogenesis and diagnosis of malignant gliomas. | 08-09-2012 |
20130157299 | Tyrosine Kinome - Protein kinases are important signaling molecules involved in tumorigenesis. Mutational analysis of the human tyrosine kinase gene family (98 genes) identified somatic alterations in −20% of colorectal cancers, with the majority of mutations occurring in NTRK3, FES, GUCY2F and a previously uncharacterized tyrosine kinase gene called MCCK/MLK4. Most alterations were in conserved residues affecting key regions of the kinase domain. These data represent a paradigm for the unbiased analysis of signal transducing genes in cancer and provide useful targets for therapeutic intervention. | 06-20-2013 |
20140187764 | GENETIC ALTERATIONS IN ISOCITRATE DEHYDROGENASE AND OTHER GENES IN MALIGNANT GLIOMA - We found mutations of the R132 residue of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) in the majority of grade II and III astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas as well as in glioblastomas that develop from these lower grade lesions.

20140377754 | Genomic Landscapes of Human Breast and Colorectal Cancers - Human cancer is caused by the accumulation of mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. To catalogue the genetic changes that occur during tumorigenesis, we isolated DNA from 11 breast and 11 colorectal tumors and determined the sequences of the genes in the Reference Sequence database in these samples. Based on analysis of exons representing 20,857 transcripts from 18,191 genes, we conclude that the genomic landscapes of breast and colorectal cancers are composed of a handful of commonly mutated gene “mountains” and a much larger number of gene “hills” that are mutated at low frequency. We describe statistical and bioinformatic tools that may help identify mutations with a role in tumorigenesis. These results have implications for understanding the nature and heterogeneity of human cancers and for using personal genomics for tumor diagnosis and therapy. | 12-25-2014 |
