20110058106 | SPARSE GEOMETRY FOR SUPER RESOLUTION VIDEO PROCESSING - In a method of analyzing an input video sequence, pixels of synthesized images of an output video sequence are associated with respective directions of regularity belonging to a predefined set of directions. A first subset of candidate directions is determined from the predefined set of directions for a region of a first image of the output sequence. For a corresponding region of a second synthesized image of the output sequence following the first image, a second subset of candidate directions is determined from the predefined set of directions, based on images of the input sequence and the first subset of candidate directions. The directions of regularity for pixels of this region of the second synthesized image are detected from the second subset of candidate directions.

20080213258 | Method of Predicting and Reducing Risk of Metastasis of Breast Cancer to Lung - A signature for breast cancer tissue derived from a patient is established that is indicative of the virulence and risk of lung metastasis by determining the expression levels to define a sample signature, and comparing this sample signature to a reference signature. The reference signature defines a standard expression level for each gene and a significant change direction, i.e., either overexpressed or underexpressed. A sample signature that differs from the reference signature in the significant change direction for a predetermined number of the genes tested is indicative of a significant risk of lung metastasis. This determination is used to define appropriate treatment and monitoring options for the patient. Risk of metastasis to the lung can be reduced by treatment with a therapeutic combination that either (1) contains a first agent effective to inhibit epiregulin activity and a second agent effective to inhibit activity of a protein selected from the group consisting of MMP1, MMP2 and PTGS2, or (2) contains a therapeutic agent or combination of agents effective to inhibit activity MMP1, MMP2 and PTGS2.

20110053804 | Gene Signatures for the Prognosis of Cancer - The cytokine TGFβ, in the tumor microenvironment, primes cancer cells for metastasis to the lungs. TGFβ response status (TBRS) can be determined by comparing expression levels of a panel of genes from cancer cells to the expression levels of the same genes in epithelial cell lines before and after induction with TGFβ. A TGFβ gene response signature reveals a clinical association between TGFβ activity in primary estrogen receptor negative (ER−) tumors and risk of lung metastasis. Further, combining the gene signature of the present invention with the known lung metastasis signature (LMS) increases the predictive value of the LMS considerably. | 03-03-2011 |

The relevant data being data that is determined to be relevant to the classification defined by the user. An index of the terms from the relevant data is determined. The index is useable by an analytics tool to provide results for queries of the unstructured data and structured data. The query may be used within the classification such that targeted results are provided using the index and the relevant data to the classification. Thus, queries from different classifications may be performed efficiently using data determined to be relevant to the classification. | 10-23-2008 |
20100114899 | Method and system for business intelligence analytics on unstructured data - Various embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for Business Intelligence (BI) metrics on unstructured data. Unstructured data is collected from numerous data sources that include unstructured data as ingested data. The ingested data is indexed and represents hyperlink and extracted data and metadata for each document. Thereafter, the ingested data is automatically classified into one or more relevance classes. Further, numerous analytics are performed on the classified data to generate business intelligence metrics that may be presented on an access device operated by a user. | 05-06-2010 |

More particularly the polymeric compositions disclosed herein comprise halogen-containing, tyrosine-derived diphenols, optionally in conjunction with other groups, such as dicarboxylic acids and/or poly(alkylene oxides), such that the medical devices made from these polymeric compositions are bioresorbable and inherently radiopaque, and exhibit physicomechanical properties consistent with the intended uses of such devices. | 05-27-2010 |
20110212050 | SIDE-CHAIN CRYSTALLIZABLE POLYMERS FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS - Inherently radiopaque side-chain crystallizable polymers (IRSCCP's) are useful in various medical applications. An example of a IRSCCP is a polymer that comprises a main chain, a plurality of crystallizable side chains, and a plurality of heavy atoms attached to the polymer, the heavy atoms being present in an amount that is effective to render the polymer radiopaque. A polymeric material that includes a IRSCCP may be fabricated into a medical device useful for at least partially occluding a body cavity. For example, such a medical device may be an embolotherapy product. | 09-01-2011 |

20110213456 | SIDE-CHAIN CRYSTALLIZABLE POLYMERS FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS - Side-chain crystallizable (SCC) polymers are useful in various medical applications. In certain applications, heavy atom containing side-chain crystallizable polymers (HACSCCP's) are particularly useful. An example of a HACSCCP is a polymer that comprises a main chain, a plurality of crystallizable side chains, and a plurality of heavy atoms attached to the polymer. In certain configurations, the heavy atoms are present in an amount that is effective to render the polymer radiopaque. A polymeric material that includes an HACSCCP may be fabricated into a medical device useful for at least partially occluding a body cavity. For example, such a medical device may be an embolotherapy product. A polymeric material that includes a SCC polymer may also be fabricated into other medical devices, such as stents. | 09-01-2011 |

20090123503 | Conditioned Cell Culture Medium Compositions and Methods of Use - Novel products comprising conditioned cell culture medium compositions and methods of use are described. The conditioned cell medium compositions of the invention may be comprised of any known defined or undefined medium and may be conditioned using any eukaryotic cell type. The medium may be conditioned by stromal cells, parenchymal cells, mesenchymal stem cells, liver reserve cells, neural stem cells, pancreatic stem cells and/or embryonic stem cells. Additionally, the cells may be genetically modified. A three-dimensional tissue construct is preferred. Once the cell medium of the invention is conditioned, it may be used in any state. Physical embodiments of the conditioned medium include, but are not limited to, liquid or solid, frozen, lyophilized or dried into a powder. Additionally, the medium is formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier as a vehicle for internal administration, applied directly to a food item or product, formulated with a salve or ointment for topical applications, or, for example, made into or added to surgical glue to accelerate healing of sutures following invasive procedures. Also, the medium may be further processed to concentrate or reduce one or more factors or components contained within the medium. | 05-14-2009 |
