| 20080248465 | Polymorphisms in the Fcgr2b Promoter and Uses Thereof - The invention relates to the FCGR2B gene and its promoter. In particular, the invention relates to FCGR2B promoters with specific nucleotides at polymorphic sites. Characterization of the nucleotides at polymorphic sites is useful for characterizing the gene and the protein and is useful for determining predisposition or susceptibility to certain diseases and infections in a subject or a population of subjects. Such characterization of the gene or protein is also useful for determining immunoresponsiveness or responsiveness to therapeutic agents in a subject or population of subjects. Thus, disclosed herein are a variety of related nucleic acids, methods and tools. | 10-09-2008 |

| 20110268753 | PROCESS FOR REGULATING IMMUNE RESPONSE - The discovery of FcγRIIc expression on B-cells allows several new methods of prediction or regulation of immune responses. A process of altering an immune response in a subject is provided by altering the expression level or activity of FcγRIIc on a cell. The relative ratio of activating FcγRIIc to inhibitory FcγRIIb levels in an immune cell allows prediction of the presence or absence of immune disease or abnormality such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. Inventive processes are provided whereby the relative levels of activating to inhibitory receptor expression in a subject is compared to an established inventive classification system to predict an immune response to a therapeutic, the presence or absence of disease, or the magnitude, duration, or timing of an immune response in the subject. | 11-03-2011 |

| 20100193507 | SPEEDCOOKING OVEN - An oven comprises a cooking cavity, a RF generation module, an upper heater module, a lower heater module and a convection heater module. The RF generation module is configured to deliver microwave energy into the cooking cavity. The upper heater module includes at least one of a halogen lamp and a ceramic heater. The lower heater module includes at least one of a halogen lamp and a ceramic heater. The convection heater module includes a sheath heater and a convection fan positioned to direct air over solely the sheath heater into the cooking cavity. The upper heater module and lower heater module are configured to deliver radiant energy into the cooking cavity. The convection heater module is configured to deliver thermal energy into the cooking cavity. A control is operatively connected to the RF generation module, upper heater module, lower heater module and convection heater module for selective control thereof. The control operates the oven in a plurality of modes, including a microwave mode, a convection/bake mode, and a speedcooking mode. In the speedcooking mode, the control is configured to selectively control the energization of the RF generation module, upper heating module and lower heating module concurrently with the selective energization of the convection heater module. | 08-05-2010 |

| 20080213804 | Parallel Processing Fluidic Method and Apparatus for Automated Rapid Immunohistochemistry - A sample processing system that may be configured to achieve parallel or coincidental sample processing such as histochemical processing may involve a plurality of samples arranged for coincidental movement perhaps by use of angular microscopic slide movements to cause processing activity that may include repeated elimination and reapplication of a fluidic substance perhaps through the action of capillary motion in order to refresh a microenvironment adjacent to a sample such as a biopsy or other such sample. Snap in antibody and other substances may be included to ease operator actions and to permit location specific substance applications perhaps by including single container multiple chamber multiple fluidic substance magazines, linearly disposed multiple substance source, and primary antibody cartridges. Through refreshing of a microenvironment, depletion of the microenvironment is avoided and the time necessary for slide processing may be dramatically shortened from a more common 60 to 120 minutes to perhaps less than 15 minutes so as to permit use of such a system in an intraoperative or surgical environment such as recommended by the College of American Pathologists intraoperative guidelines or the like. Patients may thus avoid a need to be subjected to an additional surgical procedure when lab results become available to see if tumors or the like were fully removed in a prior procedure. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080286753 | Wicking Cassette Method and Apparatus for Automated Rapid Immunohistochemistry - A sample processing system that may be configured to achieve automatic withdrawal of a substance at the end of appropriate processing sequences such as histochemical processing may involve a plurality of samples for which substances removed by moving a wicking cartridge that may have sequentially advanced absorbsant material on rolls that are advanced an appropriate amount based upon usage in sequences such as repeated elimination and reapplication of a fluidic substance perhaps through the action of capillary motion in order to refresh a microenvironment adjacent to a sample such as a biopsy or other such sample. Snap in wicking cassettes and perhaps antibody and other substances may be included to ease operator actions and to permit location specific substance applications perhaps by including single container multiple chamber multiple fluidic substance magazines, linearly disposed multiple substance source, and primary antibody cartridges. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090004691 | Enhanced Fluidic Method and Apparatus for Automated Rapid Immunohistochemistry - A sample processing system that may be configured to achieve rapid sample processing such as rapid histochemical processing may involve a wave element that can use angular microscopic slide movements to cause repeated elimination and reapplication of a fluidic substance perhaps through the action of capillary motion in order to refresh a microenvironment adjacent to a sample such as a biopsy or other such sample. Through such refreshing of a microenvironment, depletion of the microenvironment is avoided and the time necessary for slide processing may be dramatically shortened from a more common 60 to 120 minute to perhaps less than 15 minutes so as to permit use of such a system in an intraoperative or surgical environment such as recommended by the College of American Pathologists intraoperative guidelines or the like.

| 20110256583 | METHOD AND MEDIUM FOR ACCELERATING TARGET ANALYTE GROWTH IN A TEST SAMPLE - A reagent mixture and testing procedure for accelerating mixing of the formulation with a specimen sample being tested by effervescing when hydrolized, thereby causing an internal “stirring” of the reagent and the specimen sample. Examples of specimen samples that can be tested include nasal swabs and lesion swabs, environmental swabs, foodstuffs, and water, to mention a few. | 10-20-2011 |
