  • Patent number: 8936708
    Abstract: Liquid droplet manipulation instrument has electrode array for inducing movement of a droplet by electrowetting, substrate supporting the array and control with electrode selector connected to a voltage control. The selector selects each electrode and provides each with a controlled voltage. The control includes central processing unit for providing the selected electrode with an individual voltage pulse which is a drive voltage or a ground voltage or a stop voltage. The control defines a path for movement of a liquid portion of a larger volume that covers more than one electrode by the simultaneous selection of a group of two or more subsequent drive electrodes and to provide each selected drive electrode with a drive voltage pulse along the path. The control simultaneously provides a group of two or more electrodes adjacent to or identical with the pulsed drive electrodes, with a ground or stop voltage pulse.

  • Publication number: 20070166704
    Abstract: The present invention describes polynucleotides and polypeptides that have been discovered to correlate to the relative intrinsic sensitivity or resistance of cells, e.g., colon cell lines, to treatment with compounds that interact with and inhibit src tyrosine kinases. These polynucleotides and polypeptides have been shown, through a weighted voting cross validation program, to have utility in predicting the intrinsic resistance and sensitivity of colon cell lines to these compounds. Such polynucleotides and polypeptides whose expression levels correlate highly with drug sensitivity or resistance comprise predictor or marker sets of polynucleotides and polypeptides that are useful in methods of predicting drug response and as prognostic or diagnostic indicators in disease management, particularly in those disease areas in which signaling through src tyrosine kinase of the src tyrosine kinase pathway is involved with the disease process.

  • Publication number: 20060238576
    Abstract: An inkjet printhead chip includes a substrate, transistors, isolation structures, a dielectric layer, a resistive layer and conductive sections. Each transistor includes a gate, a source, a drain and a gate oxide disposed between the gate and the substrate. The isolation structures are on the substrate surface and isolate the transistors. The dielectric layer covers the transistors and the isolation structures, and has openings exposed the source and the drain. Several heating regions are in the resistive layer that is on the dielectric layer. In the conductive sections, the first conductive section is on the resistive layer and exposes the heating regions for forming several heating devices. Each heating device has resistance less than 95 ohm and power density less than 2 GW/m2; the second conductive section and the third conductive section are electrically coupled to the drain and the source through the openings of the dielectric layer respectively.

  • Publication number: 20060029944
    Abstract: The present invention describes polynucleotides that have been discovered to correlate to the relative intrinsic sensitivity or resistance of cells, e.g., breast cell lines, to treatment with compounds that interact with and modulate, e.g., inhibit, protein tyrosine kinases, such as, for example, members of the Src family of tyrosine kinases, e.g., Src, Fgr, Fyn, Yes, Blk, Hck, Lck and Lyn, as well as other protein tyrosine kinases, including, Bcr-abl, Jak, PDGFR, c-kit and Eph receptors. These polynucleotides have been shown, through a weighted voting cross validation program, to have utility in predicting the resistance and sensitivity of breast cell lines to the compounds. The expression level or phosphorylation status of some polynucleotides is regulated by treatment with a particular protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor compound, thus indicating that these polynucleotides are involved in the protein tyrosine kinase signal transduction pathway, e.g., Src tyrosine kinase.
