20090061456 | Method for predicting progression free and overall survival at each follow-up time point during therapy of metastatic breast cancer patients using circulating tumor cells - A cancer test having prognostic utility in predicting time to disease progression, overall survival, and response to therapy in patients with MBC based upon the presence and number of CTC's. The Cell Spotter® System is used to enumerate CTC's in blood. The system immunomagnetically concentrates epithelial cells, fluorescently labels the cells and identifies and quantifies CTC's. The absolute number of CTC's detected in the peripheral blood tumor load is, in part, a factor in prediction of survival, time to progression, and response to therapy. The mean time to survival of patients depended upon a threshold number of 5 CTC's per 7.5 ml of blood. Detection of CTC's in metastatic cancer represents a novel prognostic factor in patients with metastatic cancers, suggests a biological role for the presence of tumor cells in the blood, and indicates that the detection of CTC's could be considered an appropriate surrogate marker for prospective therapeutic clinical trials. | 03-05-2009 |
20090117532 | Pre-clinical method for monitoring serial changes in circulating breast cancer cells in mice - The CellTracks® System provides a system to enumerate CTC's in blood.

The absolute number of CTC's detected in the peripheral blood tumor load is, in part, a factor in prediction of survival, time to progression, and response to therapy. Pre-clinical studies of circulating tumor cells (CTC's) have been limited by the inability to repetitively monitor CTC's in animal models. The present invention provides a method to enumerate CTC's in blood samples obtained from living mice, using a protocol similar to an in vitro diagnostic system for quantifying CTC's in patients. Accordingly, this technology can be adapted for serial monitoring of CTC's in mouse xenograft tumor models of human breast cancer. | 05-07-2009 |

20100164477 | HIGH SPEED VOLTAGE REGULATOR WITH INTEGRATED LOSELESS CURRENT SENSING - In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a high-speed multi-phase voltage regulator (VR) capable of sensing load current. For each phase leg, the VR includes a current mirror to mirror current in switching elements, a current sense to sense high side current in the current mirror, and a I-V converter to convert the sensed high side current to a voltage. The high side sensed current for each phase leg is averaged and the duty cycle for the VR is extracted. The average high side sensed current and the duty cycle are converted to digital by an A-D converter.
