| 20110190243 | DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF BACK PAIN - The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing and/or treating lower back pain (LBP). In one embodiment, the invention relates to a system for diagnosis of a form of lower back pain in an individual, using a means to identify a type and/or a concentration of one or more inflammatory mediators in the epidural space of the individual. In another embodiment, the invention relates to a system for diagnosis of a form of lower back pain in an individual by identifying a type and/or concentration of one or more inflammatory mediators in the epidural space of the individual, and rendering a diagnosis of the form of lower back pain in the individual based on the presence, absence and/or combination of presences and/or absences of one or more inflammatory mediators in the epidural space of the individual | 08-04-2011 |

| 20090127185 | FILTER ELEMENT - The invention relates to a filter element for filtering fluid for a motor or gearing, comprising a first filter medium which is arranged in a cylindrical way, with the fluid impinging in a perpendicular way on the circumferential surface of the first medium for filtering in an associated filter apparatus, then penetrating and passing through the same. The filter element comprises a second filter medium with a filter density differing from the first filter medium, the first filter medium and the second filter medium being stacked upon each other as filter layers and being jointly wound in a spiral manner. A desired purity of the fluid can thus be achieved more quickly than in filter elements which exclusively allow a radial passage of the fluid through the filter elements. The spiral configuration also achieves a higher dirt absorption capacity. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20090276137 | METHOD TO INCLUDE FAST TORQUE ACTUATORS IN THE DRIVER PEDAL SCALING FOR CONVENTIONAL POWERTRAINS - An engine control system comprises a pedal torque determination module, a driver interpretation module, and an actuation module. The pedal torque determination module determines a zero pedal torque based on a desired engine torque at a zero accelerator pedal position and a minimum torque limit for an engine system. The driver interpretation module determines a driver pedal torque based on the zero pedal torque and an accelerator pedal position. The actuation module controls at least one of a throttle area, spark timing, and a fuel command based on the driver pedal torque. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20090157326 | Diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer patients - The present invention relates to genetic markers whose expression is correlated with breast cancer. Specifically, the invention provides sets of markers whose expression patterns can be used to differentiate clinical conditions associated with breast cancer, such as the presence or absence of the estrogen receptor ESR1, and BRCA1 and sporadic tumors, and to provide information on the likelihood of tumor distant metastases within five years of initial diagnosis. The invention relates to methods of using these markers to distinguish these conditions. The invention also relates to kits containing ready-to-use microarrays and computer software for data analysis using the statistical methods disclosed herein. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100297624 | Involvement of Lipid Kinase, and Signal Transduction Pathway Comprising Said Lipid Kinase, in Resistance to HER2-Targeting Therapy - The invention is related to a method for determining whether an individual suffering from cancer is at risk of exhibiting or acquiring a reduced response towards HER2-targeting therapy. In one aspect, the invention utilizes the activity of a signal transduction pathway modulated by a lipid kinase for determining said risk. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20100006799 | Method and Composition for Selectively Stripping Nickel from a Substrate - A method of stripping nickel from a printed wiring board comprises providing a printed wiring board with a nickel deposit on a surface and contacting the nickel deposit with phosphate ions and an oxidizer. An aqueous solution comprises ammonium ions, phosphate ions and an oxidizing agent present in amounts effective to strip nickel. An aqueous solution comprises about 1% to about 10% by weight hydrogen peroxide and about 5% to about 30% by weight of an ammonium phosphate. A method of pre-treating a copper substrate comprises providing a printed wiring board having a copper substrate and contacting the copper substrate with phosphate ions, and an oxidizer. A method of neutralizing permanganate on a printed wiring board comprises providing a printed wiring board with a permanganate residue on the printed wiring board and contacting the permanganate residue with phosphate ions, and an oxidizer. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20110039019 | Solution and Process for Improving the Solderability of a Metal Surface - The invention is directed to a solution and process for improving the solderability of a metal surface. In one embodiment, the invention is a silver deposit solution comprising an acid, a source of silver ions, and an additive selected from among pyrroles, triazoles, and tetrazoles, as well as derivatives and mixtures of those components. In another embodiment, the silver deposit solution also includes a 6-membered heterocyclic ring compound, wherein three members of the 6-membered heterocyclic ring are nitrogen atoms. Still another embodiment is a process for improving the solderability of a metal surface which involves applying a silver deposit solution as previously described to a metal surface. | 02-17-2011 |
