  • Publication number: 20150198484
    Abstract: An electronic shelf label (ESL) is provided. The ESL includes a printed circuit board, PCB, a photo sensor sensitive to infra-red, IR, radiation and arranged at the PCB, an outer cover in which a window is arranged to admit light and IR radiation towards the photo sensor. The ESL further includes a filter arranged in front of the photo sensor and separate from the window, the filter being adapted to admit IR radiation and filter out light within the visible wavelength range. Further, the ESL includes index matching material transparent to IR radiation and coated on the PCB such that it covers the photo sensor and provides direct or indirect physical contact between the photo sensor and the filter. Such enables use of a photo sensor which is not pre-coated with index matching material, which reduces manufacturing costs.

  • Patent number: 8577619
    Abstract: Techniques for modeling living biological systems include receiving constant values for multiple interaction factors wij. A set of initial state values is received for state variables that indicate relevant properties of a living biological system. Also received is a set of trial values for perturbation variables that indicate factors that might affect one or more of the relevant properties of the biological system. A temporal change in a value for a particular state variable is determined based on a non-linear transformation of a sum of the trial value for the perturbation that affects the particular state added to a sum of all non-zero values for a product of wij and a state variable over all state variables. In some embodiments, measurement-based values are received for a measurable subset of the state variables. Values for the constant interaction factors wij are determined based on the measurement-based values.

  • Publication number: 20120237488
    Abstract: A method for determining prognosis in a subject having a hematological cancer comprising: a) determining an expression profile by measuring the gene expression levels of a set of genes selected from a leukemic stem cell (LSC) gene signature marker set or an hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene signature marker set, in a sample from a subject; and b) classifying the subject as having a good prognosis or a poor prognosis based on the expression profile; wherein a good prognosis predicts an increased likelihood of survival within a predetermined period after initial diagnosis and poor prognosis predicts a decreased likelihood of survival within the predetermined period after initial diagnosis.

  • Patent number: 8246784
    Abstract: This invention relates to a porous pulp mold comprising sintered particles and a plurality of drainage channels. The pulp mold of the invention can be produced in a fast and cost effective way. The molding surface of the invention comprises small pore openings, to evacuate fluid and prevent fibers from entering the pulp mold. Furthermore the pulp mold of the invention comprises drainage channels improving the drainage capabilities of the pulp mold. The molding surface can be heated to at least 200° C., due to high heat conductivity of the pulp mold and its ability to withstand high temperatures.
