| 20100041048 | Circulating Mutant DNA to Assess Tumor Dynamics - DNA containing somatic mutations is highly tumor specific and thus, in theory, can provide optimum markers. However, the number of circulating mutant gene fragments is small compared to the number of normal circulating DNA fragments, making it difficult to detect and quantify them with the sensitivity required for meaningful clinical use. We apply a highly sensitive approach to quantify circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in body samples of patients. Measurements of ctDNA can be used to reliably monitor tumor dynamics in subjects with cancer, especially those who are undergoing surgery or chemotherapy. This personalized genetic approach can be generally applied. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20090302834 | Resonant Linearly Polarized Body Current Sensor - A linearly polarized eddy current sensor including a source antenna and a parasitic antenna coupled to the source antenna, serves as a high sensitivity tool for the measurement of the surface impedance of sheet goods without requiring contact with the sample. Sheet goods can have an anisotropic, frequency-dependent surface impedance that is sensitive to minor changes in configuration of the sample. Because the electric field induced by the sensor is linearly polarized, measurement of directionally dependent sheet impedance can be achieved. The measurement is performed with the resonant device operating in resonance mode whereby the immediate proximity of the material to be measured causes damping and shifting of the coupled loop resonance. The resonant frequency of the sensor can be tuned by making changes to its geometry. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20080206725 | Candidate Evaluation Tool - Disclosed are a computer-implemented method and an associated system for use in evaluating candidates interviewed at events, such as job fairs, recruiting events, on-site invitational interviews, etc. Pre-event preparation includes inputting into a first computer system event specific information. During interviews, interviewers are provided with access to this information via remote computers. During post-interview processing, interviewers use this information and the remote computers to determine quantitative interview scores and upload the scores along with qualitative interview feedback to the first computer system. Post-interview processing can also include using the first computer system to systematically rank multiple candidates based on the quantitative interview scores and allowing interested users to view the ranking in real-time. Post-event processing can include allowing users to manually enter another ranking based on the qualitative interview feedback, analyzing all of the compiled data and generating reports based on the analyzed data. | 08-28-2008 |
