20100267051ANNEXIN FOR CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT - A method treats urogenital and/or intestinal tract cancer and includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of at least one annexion protein, annexin of A3, to a mammal.10-21-2010
20110098234BREAST CANCER PROTEINS - The present invention relates to a pooling method for performing proteomics with human samples, preferably derived from microdissected human samples, wherein the samples are grouped into two or more pools and each pool reveals at least one protein that is differentially manifest between these pools but common to a member of a given pool. Besides, the invention refers to proteins whose abundances are upregulated in cancer cells, especially in breast cancer cells, preferably in breast cancer cells that are positive or negative towards hormone binding receptors.04-28-2011

20090174899Method and Apparatus for Asynchronous Print Analysis - The disclosed print tracking software takes the process of asynchronous print analysis currently available in the prior art in which the final print tracking events, such as billing and enforcement, occur in a nonlinear, non-sequential or non-temporal fashion, and expands on this model by achieving similar non-linearity at the front-end analysis phase by re-arranging the timing in which the printing and print analysis takes place within the print software. A print stream extraction component places print stream data from a print job in a known cache location. The print job continues to a printer while independently a software monitor component checks for new cache data and if new cache data is found, invokes an analyzer component which writes print related statistics to a data store for subsequent billing and reporting purposes.07-09-2009
20100049569System and Method for Quantity and Timed Limited Asynchronous Cost Recovery - An asynchronous two-dimensional limiting cost recovery system includes an expense activity sent from a client computer to a server computer. The extracted data is sent to a central message queue, where the client computer reads the data and graphically notifies the user of unbilled expense activity. An administrator defines a quota which determines how many unbilled expense activities can exist for a given user before a mandatory billing interface is displayed regardless of how much time it took to complete those activities, or defines a maximum time duration which determines how much time a user is given before a mandatory billing interface is displayed regardless of how many expense activities were completed, or both, whichever occurs first. A “snooze” option works in conjunction with the quota and maximum time duration limitations.02-25-2010
20110022484Systems and Methods to Facilitate Retail Transactions - Systems and methods are provided to facilitate retail transactions via mobile communications. In one aspect, a retail terminal includes: a user interface to receive a phone number of a customer; a memory; a data communication interface; and a processor coupled with the memory and the data communication interface to transmit the phone number to a server computer to cause the server computer to communicate with a mobile phone at the phone number to confirm a transaction at the retail terminal and to transmit one or more premium messages to the mobile phone to collect funds for the transaction, and to receive from the server computer a message indicating that the funds are available for the transaction. The retail terminal is to perform the transaction in response to the message from the server computer.01-27-2011
20110071922Systems and Methods to Facilitate Online Transactions - Systems and methods are provided to facilitate online transactions via mobile communications. In one aspect, a system includes a communication interface to receive an input from a merchant; a plurality of converters to interface with a plurality of controllers for delivery of premium messages sent by the system to collect funds for purchases made by customers; and a common format processor coupled with the plurality of converters to send the premium messages. The common format processor determines a combination of one or more premium messages, in response to a first customer making a first purchase from the merchant at a first price. The total price of the one or more premium messages is based on the first price and a portion of service charges associated with the one or more premium messages, where the portion is specified by the input received via the interface.03-24-2011

20090080882Method And Apparatus For In-Band OSNR Monitoring - An optical signal-to-noise ratio monitor includes a demodulator comprising an input that receives at least a portion of a phase modulated optical signal. The monitor also includes a delay interferometer with a periodic phase control that sweeps a differential delay of one arm of the interferometer through a plurality of differential optical phase shifts. The demodulator converts phase modulated optical signals to intensity modulated optical signals. A tunable optical filter continuously scans a transmission wavelength over a desired wavelength range in a time that allows more than one wavelength to be transmitted through an output of the tunable filter for each of the plurality of differential optical phase shifts. An optical detector detects the filtered optical signal and generates a corresponding electrical demodulation signal at an output. A processor determines an optical signal-to-noise ratio for the more than one wavelength of the optical signal.03-26-2009
