Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090019029METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING A SCAN OPERATION ON A TABLE OF A COLUMN-ORIENTED DATABASE - A method and system for performing a scan operation on a table of a column-oriented database is described. One embodiment receives a database query that references a particular column in a table, the particular column being horizontally partitioned into at least one extent, the at least one extent including at least one data block; consults, for each extent in the particular column for which associated metadata is available, the metadata associated with that extent to determine whether that extent is required to process the scan operation; acquires, for each extent in the particular column for which associated metadata is not available, metadata associated with that extent and uses the acquired metadata associated with that extent to determine whether that extent is required to process the scan operation; and performs the scan operation on only those extents in the particular column determined to be required to process the scan operation.01-15-2009

20090019103METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING A DATABASE QUERY - A method and system for processing a database query is described. One embodiment is a scalable, reconfigurable database query processing system comprising one or more director, user, and performance modules in a configuration that includes shared-nothing behavior of the modules and the distributed processing of primitives for resolving a database query in accordance with a column-oriented database architecture.01-15-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090186913Tetrahalogenated compounds useful as inhibitors of angiogenesis - Methods for inhibiting a neoplasm in a subject and methods of inhibiting undesired angiogenesis that include administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one novel tetrahalogenated compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.07-23-2009
20090325156MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR ABCB1 POLYMORPHIC VARIANT SCREENING, DIAGNOSIS, AND TREATMENT - The invention provides methods and materials for screening for polymorphic variants in ABCB1 and diagnosing altered susceptibilities for drug-induced heart rhythm irregularities based on the same. These methods allow better treatment regimens for using drugs that bind a protein encoded by the ABCB1 and/or induce heart rhythm irregularities such as the anti-cancer drug FK228.12-31-2009
20100247481ABCB1 GENOTYPING TO PREDICT MICROTUBULE-STABILIZING-AGENT-INDUCED TOXICITY - The present disclosure provides methods of identifying subjects having an increased likelihood of developing one or more adverse side effects resulting from administration of a microtubule-stabilizing agent. In particular examples, the method includes determining whether the subject has an ABCB1 predictive polymorphism for microtubule-stabilizing agent-induced toxicity, wherein the presence of such a polymorphism indicates that the subject has an increased risk of developing microtubule-stabilizing agent induced adverse effects. Examples of ABCB1 predictive polymorphisms include 2677G>T/A and 3435C>T. Also provided are methods of modifying microtubule-stabilizing agent therapy in a subject identified as having one or more ABCB1 predictive polymorphisms. Kits and isolated nucleic acid molecules that can be used in the disclosed methods are also provided.09-30-2010
20100280084Cyp1B1 Genotype - The invention relates to pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and toxicology, and more specifically to methods of identifying and predicting inter-patient differences in response to drugs in order to achieve superior efficacy and safety in selected patient populations. It further related to the genetic basis of inter-patient variation in response to therapy, including drug therapy, and to methods for determining and exploiting such differences to improve medical outcomes.11-04-2010
20100317726SLCO1B3 GENOTYPE - The invention relates methods of identifying and predicting inter-patient differences in prognostic prediction for survival in androgen independent prostate cancer. It further related to methods for determining and exploiting such differences to improve medical outcomes. Moreover, it provides methods for determining if a subject has prostate cancer.12-16-2010
