Abstract: Methods for treating cancer patients with human platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha inhibiting compounds, in which the patient is identified as having a cancer that is human platelet derived growth factor receptor beta negative.

Abstract: A transfer tape dispenser comprises a housing and a supply spool and a take up spool disposed within the housing. A carrier ribbon has a first end and a second end, with the first end connected to the supply spool, and the second end connected to the take-up spool. An applicator tip is partially disposed within the housing and includes a platform with a front edge, a rear edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a top surface, a bottom surface. A first wall is adjacent to the first side edge and a second wall is adjacent to the second side edge. At least one protuberance extends from the applicator tip and is adapted to maintain outer edges of the transfer tape adjacent to the top surface of the platform.

Abstract: The improved glass container for freeze-dried products includes a casing section (1) with a bottom portion (3) and an outlet portion (2). The casing section (1) is thin-walled in comparison to the bottom portion (3) and the outlet portion (2) is formed so as to be closable by a closure device. The bottom portion (3) has a nonuniform geometry and is provided with at least one interior depression (3b), a reinforced section (3a) and an outer bottom surface (3o) that is completely planar or planar with a comparatively slight central indentation (3c) but with a sufficient contact area for a cooling plate used in freeze-drying. The structure of the bottom portion guarantees a uniform crystalline lyophilizate structure. The glass container has a very low breakage rate and can be nearly completely emptied.

Abstract: The improved container for liquid and solid medicinal preparations, especially freeze-dried products, includes a casing section (1) with a bottom portion (3) and an outlet portion (2). The casing section (1) is thin-walled in comparison to the bottom portion (3) and the outlet portion (2) is formed so as to be closable by a closure device. The bottom portion (3) has a nonuniform geometry and is provided with at least one interior depression (3b), a reinforced section (3a) and an outer bottom surface (3o) that is completely planar or planar with a comparatively slight central indentation (3c). The container is lightweight and stable which guarantees a uniform lyophilizate structure. In the case of a glass container the container of the invention has a very low breakage rate and can be nearly completely emptied.

Abstract: A miniature submergible inspection device is provided for the visual inspection and survey of the strata of dry or water-filled bore holes providing data for video display or recording at the earth's surface and controllable therefrom. Adapted for reversing azimuth scan of the bore hole surface, the raster scan generates a display presented to the operator that does not rotate with the scanning of the surface and that is always upright.
