20110104718	Analysis of Circulating Tumor Cells, Fragments, and Debris - The methods and reagents described in this invention are used to analyze circulating tumor cells, clusters, fragments, and debris. Analysis is performed with a number of platforms, including flow cytometry and the CellSpotter® fluorescent microscopy imaging system. Analyzing damaged cells has shown to be important.

Damage in vitro occurs during sample acquisition, handling, transport, processing, or analysis. It is therefore desirable to confine, reduce, eliminate, or at least qualify in vitro damage to prevent it from interfering in analysis. Described herein are methods to diagnose, monitor, and screen disease based on circulating rare cells, including malignancy as determined by CTC, clusters, fragments, and debris. Also provided are kits for assaying biological specimens using these methods.	05-05-2011

20080205230	Speed-Down During Linking - In the invention herein a recordable optical disc is provided with embossed windings of a spiral track or circular tracks in a recording layer of phase change material and with embossed address/timing information located between adjacent windings. User data is received for recording on the disc. The data is written by controlling a laser beam scanning the winding to form marks of different phases of the phase change material at a higher disc speed while reading an address from the disc. The writing is occasionally interrupted in order to calibrate write parameters in order to improve the write quality. After the calibration linking is performed by jumping to a position just before the writing was interrupted, and determining the current position depending on an address read from the disc, and tracking to the position that the writing was interrupted. When an error occurs in reading the address information from the disc during linking at a higher disc speed, then the disc speed is reduced to a lower disc speed and linking is performed at the slower disc speed. After successful linking, writing of the user data continues at the lower disc speed or the disc speed is increased and writing continues at the higher disc speed.	08-28-2008
