| 20100136541 | IDENTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION OF METHYLATION MARKER SEQUENCES - The present invention relates to methods for identifying among the genes that are down-regulated in cells or tissues having disease including cancer, the CpG sites within the CpG islands of said genes, wherein the identified CpG sites show great potential for diagnostic utility. In another aspect, the present invention also provides methods of using the selected CpG sites for purposes of diagnosis, prognosis, staging, assessing or monitoring the therapy of or recovery from a disease such as cancer. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20080240948 | DEVICE FOR CONTAINING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A TURBOMOLECULAR PUMP - A device for containing the catastrophic failure of a vacuum pumping system is described. The vacuum pumping system includes a turbo-molecular pump (TMP) configured to be coupled to a vacuum processing system at an inlet end. The TMP includes a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to an axis of rotation of the TMP and a first lateral axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The vacuum system also includes a containment device configured to mitigate the catastrophic failure of the TMP by impeding only one translational degree of freedom (DOF) and only one rotational DOF of the movement of the TMP. Impeding only one translational DOF includes impeding translational motion of the TMP in a first lateral direction substantially parallel to the first lateral axis. Impeding only one rotational DOF includes impeding rotation of the TMP about the longitudinal axis. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20090050825 | Sealing between vacuum chambers - A sealing system is disclosed. One such sealing system includes a first vacuum chamber and a second vacuum chamber. The sealing system includes a first sealing unit having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the first sealing unit disposed on the first vacuum chamber. The sealing system includes a second sealing unit having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of the second sealing unit disposed on the distal end of the first sealing unit and the proximal end of the second sealing unit disposed on the second vacuum chamber. One of the sealing units is concave, while the other is convex. The sealing system also includes a first o-ring, a second o-ring, and a third o-ring. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20100232372 | DISTRIBUTED ASSIGNMENT OF FREQUENCY CHANNELS TO TRANSCEIVERS OVER DYNAMIC SPECTRUM - The invention relates to systems and methods of operating a wireless network including allocating and assigning frequency channels using a dynamic and distributed process. For example, a network node in an ad hoc wireless network will assign frequency channels to one or more of its transceivers based on at least one of a list of allowed frequency channels and a neighbor-frequency channel list. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20090267825 | Method and Apparatus for Compressing SAR Signals - A method compresses synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data by sampling the SAR data into blocks and transforming each block to a corresponding block of transform coefficients. Each block of transform coefficient is quantized according to a quantization parameter to obtain a corresponding block of quantized transform coefficients, which are demultiplexed into sets of blocks of quantized transform coefficients. The quantized transform coefficients in the blocks in each set are arithmetically encoding in parallel according to a probability model to produce an intermediate bitstream for each set of blocks. The encoding of the quantized transform coefficients of one block is independent of the quantized transform coefficients of a successive block. The intermediate of bitstreams are then multiplexed to a compressed bitstream, which can be transmitted, or stored, for subsequent decoding to construct an SAR image. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20100023157 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FABRICATING A COMPONENT - A method for fabricating a component using a tool is provided. The method includes determining a model tool contact path for the component based on a component geometry, nominal tool tip path, tool geometry, the component geometry including a grid system having a plurality of elements and nodes at an intersection of the elements. The method also includes measuring a geometric property of the component relative to the model component geometry, generating a tool contact path and tool tip path corresponding to the measured geometric property, and at least partially fabricating the component using the generated tool contact path. | 01-28-2010 |
