  • Patent number: 9469879
    Abstract: A method for differentiating forms of lymphoma involves analyzing a tumor tissue sample from a subject for expression of CD28, ABCA5, CCDC3, and SMOC2. The CD28:ABCA5 expression ratio differentiates T-cell tumors from B-cell tumors. The CCDC3:SMOC2 expression ratio differentiates different T-cell tumors. The method can further include administering to the subject from whom the sample was obtained an appropriate treatment for the form lymphoma identified by performing the method.

  • Patent number: 9265428
    Abstract: A wireless sensor for indicating a physical state within an environment includes a housing defining a hermetically sealed cavity. A structure located within the cavity of the housing has elements providing capacitance, the elements being arranged such that the distance and thereby the capacitance of the structure changes when a physical state of the environment changes. The structure has a resonant frequency based at least in part on the capacitance of the structure when in the presence of a fluctuating electromagnetic field. When the sensor is positioned within an environment and is subjected to a fluctuating electromagnetic field, the resonant frequency indicates the physical state of the environment.
