| 20110017521 | GRAVIMETRIC MEASURING INSTRUMENT WITH RELEASABLE LOAD RECEIVER - A gravimetric measuring instrument that contains a weighing cell having a load-transmitting member. A load receiver can be coupled to the load-transmitting member through a releasable connection. A mechanical stop resides on the load-transmitting member, and a mechanical counter stop resides on the load receiver. By means of an eccentric bolt engaging the load receiver and the load-transmitting member, the mechanical stop can be pressed against the mechanical counter stop, whereby the stop can be clamped tight against the counter stop. With this arrangement, the load receiver can be rigidly but releasably secured to the load-transmitting member. | 01-27-2011 |

| 20110147135 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE MOVEMENT AND/OR THE POSITION OF AN ELEVATOR CAR - A method and apparatus for determining the movement and/or the position of an elevator car include a first monitoring unit for analyzing first signals of a first sensor device for obtaining information about the movement and/or the position of the elevator car, for detecting a possible faulty behavior of the elevator system, and for initiating corresponding safety measures. A second sensor device, which does not operate on the principle of the first sensor device, registers changes of the movement state of the elevator car and emits corresponding second signals to a second monitoring unit that analyzes the second signals and detects changes of the movement state of the elevator car. A fault signal is generated if the movement signals that are obtained from the first monitoring unit are incoherent with the changes of the movement state of the elevator car that are detected by the second monitoring unit. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20100292303 | GENE EXPRESSION PROFILE FOR PREDICTING OVARIAN CANCER PATIENT SURVIVAL - A gene profiling signature for predicting ovarian cancer patient survival is disclosed herein. The gene signature can be used to diagnosis or prognosis ovarian cancer, identify agents to treat an ovarian tumor, to predict the metastatic potential of an ovarian tumor and to determine the effectiveness of ovarian tumor treatments. Thus, methods are provided for diagnosing and prognosing an ovarian tumor, such as ovarian cancer, in a subject. Methods are also provided for identifying agents that can be used to treat an ovarian tumor, for determining the effectiveness of an ovarian tumor treatment, or to predict the metastatic potential of an ovarian tumor. Methods of treatment are also disclosed which include administering a composition that includes a specific binding agent that specifically binds to one of the disclosed ovarian survival factor-associated molecules and ovarian tumor in the subject. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20100286237 | PRO-ANGIOGENIC GENES IN OVARIAN TUMOR ENDOTHELIAL CELL ISOLATES - A gene profiling signature for ovarian tumor endothelial cells is disclosed herein. The gene signature can be used to diagnosis or prognosis an ovarian tumor, identify agents to treat an ovarian tumor, to predict the metastatic potential of an ovarian tumor and to determine the effectiveness of ovarian tumor treatments. Thus, methods are provided for identifying agents that can be used to treat ovarian cancer, for determining the effectiveness of an ovarian tumor treatment, or to diagnose or prognose an ovarian tumor. Methods of treatment are also disclosed which include administering a composition that includes a specific binding agent that specifically binds to one of the disclosed ovarian endothelial cell tumor-associated molecules and inhibits ovarian tumor in the subject. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20100310814 | Operating Element and Method for the Production Thereof - A method for producing a flexible, three-dimensional coating structure with a surface curvature on the front side and an impression on the rear side for a flexible switch or a flexible user interface. The method is essentially characterized by the following steps: introducing an uncured, transparent casting compound into a compression mould with an impression that forms the shaping of a surface curvature; introducing a counterpunch that penetrates at least partially into the impression, so that the casting compound is distributed in the gap between the shaping of the surface curvature of the compression mould and the surface of the counterpunch and fills this gap; introducing energy into the casting compound, so that the casting compound cures to form a substantially self-supporting, flexible, transparent surface layer with a surface curvature on the front side and an impression on the rear side. | 12-09-2010 |

| 20090210622 | COMPRESSED CACHE IN A CONTROLLER PARTITION - A method of extending functionality of a data storage facility by adding to the primary storage system new functions using extension function subsystems is disclosed. One example of extending the functionality includes compressing and caching data in a data storage facility to improve storage and access performance of the data storage facility. A primary storage system queries a data storage extension system for availability of data tracks. If the primary storage system does not receive a response or the data tracks from the data storage extension system, it continues caching by fetching data tracks from a disk storage system. The storage extension system manages compression/decompression of data tracks in response to messages from the primary storage system. Data tracks transferred from the data storage extension system to the primary storage system are marked as stale at the data storage extension system and are made available for deletion. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20110030993 | Corona shield and composite insulator with corona shield - A composite insulator comprises a rod with an insulating jacket and ribs and at least one end fitting and at least one corona shield. The latter is integrally manufactured from plastic material. It is configured to be coaxially disposed on the composite insulator at the transition from the rod to the end fitting. The corona shield forms a cavity, which is open towards the inside and which can be filled with sealant compound through at least one filling channel and which comprises a closing cuff in axial direction on both sides for sealing the cavity. The diameter of the rod side closing cuff is adapted to the diameter of the insulating jacket, and the diameter of the fitting side closing cuff is adapted to the diameter of the end fitting. The filling channel leads to the cavity from the outside. | 02-10-2011 |
