20100293771Process and apparatus for corner tucking a covering sheet of an upholstered article - An apparatus and process for causing excess covering material at a workpiece corner to be gathered, folded and secured to a back side of the panel. A corner tucking apparatus includes a gathering plate positioned adjacent a positioning structure, and moves inwardly across the back side of the workpiece, from the corner, to gather and fold the corner flap. The gathering plate has a generally V-shaped notch which causes excess material to be gathered together as the plate moves inwardly. The gathered material upon reaching the apex of the notch is folded downwardly into contact with the back side of the workpiece. A securing structure which is carried inwardly with the gathering plate is then activated to fixedly secure the folded flap to the pad or workpiece.11-25-2010
20100328852Modular electrical distribution system for a building - A universal power distribution system is provided for routing electrical circuits within a building structure to comprehensively provide electrical power to the building in ceiling configurations, wall-mounted configurations, raised floor configurations and in office furniture configurations.

20090104647METHODS FOR SELECTING ACTIVE AGENTS FOR CANCER TREATMENT - The present invention provides methods for individualizing chemotherapy, and particularly methods for individualizing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The present invention provides methods for predicting a cancer patient's response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, including assessing the probability of a positive response upon treatment with candidate agents prior to surgery. In various aspects, the invention involves culturing a monolayer of malignant cells from an explant of a patient's biopsy specimen, such as a transcutaneous biopsy-sized specimen, and testing the malignant cells for resistance or sensitivity to one or a plurality of candidate agents for neoadjuvant therapy. In other aspects, the invention provides methods for accurately scoring and interpreting such assays, and discloses in vitro chemoresponse results that are predictive of a patient's pathological complete response (pCR) upon receiving the corresponding treatment regimen.04-23-2009

20110129822MULTI DRUG RESPONSE MARKERS FOR BREAST CANCER CELLS - The present invention provides methods for preparing a gene expression profile of a breast cancer cell, tumor, or cell line, where the gene expression profile may be evaluated for one or more gene expression signatures indicative of multidrug resistance. The signature may be indicative of resistance to one or more chemotherapeutic agents selected from a Taxol (e.g., Docetaxel or Paclitaxel), an antibiotic (e.g., Doxorubicin or Epirubicin), an antimetabolite (e.g., Fluorouracil and/or Gemcitabine), and an alkylating agent (e.g., Cyclophosphamide). Generally, the gene expression profile contains the level of expression for a plurality of genes listed in FIGS. 06-02-2011
20110130302BIOLOGICAL PATHWAYS ASSOCIATED WITH CHEMOTHERAPY OUTCOME FOR BREAST CANCER - The present invention provides methods for preparing drug response and/or resistance profiles for breast tumor specimens, or cells derived therefrom. The drug response and/or resistance profiles are useful for determining effective chemotherapeutic agents for treatment of the tumor or cell to thereby individualize patient therapy. In other aspects, the invention provides a method for identifying a pathway or gene expression signature indicative of a breast cancer cell's sensitivity to a chemotherapeutic agent, which is useful for identifying a population response rate, or patient sub-population likely to respond to the drug candidate.06-02-2011
