20090121888Method and System of Determining Alarm Conditions - A method and system for determining alarm conditions of a slope under inspection whereby one or more dimensionless threat estimate values are calculated for one or more time periods. The maximum dimensionless threat estimate value calculated is selected and compared with a threshold alarm value. If the maximum dimensionless threat estimate value exceeds the threshold alarm value alarm conditions are set to indicate that the slope under inspection is exhibiting unsafe movement.05-14-2009
20090121921Interferometric Signal Processing - A method of error handling in a slope monitoring system that generates slope movement data from interferometric signal processing of radar images of the slope monitoring system. The error handling occurs in two steps. The movement data is corrected for changes in atmospheric conditions and disturbances are identified. It is convenient to mask the regions identified as disturbed in the display of the corrected movement data. Typical disturbances include short term disturbances, such as trucks, and long term disturbances, such as vegetation.05-14-2009
20100289693INTERFEROMETRIC SIGNAL PROCESSING - Systems and methods of error handling in interferometric signal processing for a ground based slope monitoring system are described. Uncorrected movement data is extracted from interferometric radar measurements of a relatively stable reference. The movement data is corrected for changes in atmospheric conditions as a function of changes in a refractive index of the air and an offset induced at zero range.11-18-2010

20120185425CONTENT BASED APPROACH TO EXTENDING THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF A BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM - A business intelligence (BI) system which includes the ability to extend its functionality outside of the project life cycle by means of specific content. Complex multidimensional queries are interpreted as trees of atomic sub-expressions that are combined in a parse-tree-like structure to form the overall query. Each sub tree is valid in isolation when provided with the proper context. Any sub tree can be an expression template, stored as application content, which at generation time uses simple text substitution with instance specific parameters to produce multidimensional expression syntax. The system includes a sophisticated type system and semantic layer that hides the user from the complexities inherent in working with OLAP databases. A business intelligence expert can provide type and semantic cues for each expression template, held as content. The content expression templates are then exposed in the application primarily through a context menu that is filtered for appropriateness, but also in an explorer tree, toolbars, menus and submenus. The functionality from a users perspective is integral to the application. An iterative processing capability to complement these expressions is provided by means of OLAP database stored procedures held as application content. Building on the above, workflow content allows business users to extend the application by creating expert-system-like guided analyses and processes. Of key significance to this innovation is the concept that the expression templates, stored procedures and workflows are application content, and therefore redistributable and unshackled from the classic software development lifecycle and the cost and expertise associated.07-19-2012

20120208824ROS Kinase in Lung Cancer - The invention provides the identification of the presence of polypeptides with ROS kinase activity in mammalian lung cancer. In some embodiments, the polypeptide with ROS kinase activity is the result of a fusion between a ROS-encoding polynucleotide and a polynucleotide encoding a second (non-ROS) polypeptide. Three different fusion partners of ROS are described, namely proteins encoded by the FIG gene, the SLC34A2 gene, and the CD74 gene. The invention enables new methods for determining the presence of a polypeptide with ROS kinase activity in a biological sample, methods for screening for compounds that inhibit the proteins, and methods for inhibiting the progression of a cancer (e.g., an lung cancer).08-16-2012
