  • Patent number: 10575759
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products which facilitate the ability of a user to monitor and assess the location of and forces transferred to various joints, muscles, and limbs and their relative positions at each and every moment during normal daily activities, training loads of an exercise, or a competitive or high intensity athletic endeavors, in order to mitigate and reduce the risk of injury as well as to track fitness performance elements are disclosed. In an aspect, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed which utilize at least one sensor in order to capture a user's movement information during various tasks and exercises. This movement information may then be analyzed in order to determine quantifiable values for the user's likelihood of experiencing an injury and/or the user's overall fitness, generally.

  • Patent number: 7118853
    Abstract: The invention provides a variety of reagents for use in the diagnosis and management of breast cancer. The invention utilizes cDNA microarray technology to identify genes whose expression profile across a large group of tumor samples correlates with that of cytokeratin 5 and cytokeratin 17, markers for basal cells of the normal mammary lactation gland. The invention demonstrates that tumors that express cytokeratin 5/6 and/or 17 have a poor prognosis relative to tumors overall. The invention provides basal marker genes and their expression products and uses of these genes for diagnosis of breast cancer and for identification of therapies for breast cancer. In particular, the invention provides basal marker genes including cadherin3, matrix metalloproteinase 14, and cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 2. The invention provides antibodies to the polypeptides expressed by these genes and methods of use thereof.

  • Publication number: 20050132187
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for managing call reports. A call report message and information identifying a client matter are received via a wireless network, a distribution list is determined by applying a set of visibility rules, and the call report is created. Access to the call report is based on the distribution list. The visibility rules are rules that encapsulate the various legal and ethical requirements for allowing access to a client matter. The visibility rules may be created using a suitable script language, and be adjusted from time to time.
