Abstract: Adaptive medical data collection for medical entities may involve triggering an analysis of electronic records in response to information input into an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) of a patient. Determining a potential condition for the patient based on the analysis. Identifying additional information indicated as relevant to the potential condition of the patient, and generating a request for the identified additional information.

Abstract: A method of speed forecasting a train over a track including determining location of the train on the track, the speed of the train and brake and throttle setting of the train. Speeds and suggested throttle and brake settings for spaced points along the track are calculated based on the determinations. The calculated speeds and throttle and brake setting are displayed for the spaced points along the track.

Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic and prognostic methods for predicting the effectiveness of treatment of a cancer patient with an EGFR kinase inhibitor. Methods are provided for predicting the sensitivity of tumor cell growth to inhibition by an EGFR kinase inhibitor, comprising assessing whether the tumor cell has undergone an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), by determining the expression level of epithelial and/or mesenchymal biomarkers, wherein tumor cells that have undergone an EMT are substantially less sensitive to inhibition by EGFR kinase inhibitors. Improved methods for treating cancer patients with EGFR kinase inhibitors that incorporate the above methodology are also provided. Additionally, methods are provided for the identification of new biomarkers that are predictive of responsiveness of tumors to EGFR kinase inhibitors.

Abstract: A biomedia apparatus comprising an elongated central core and a plurality of loops positioned along the central core adapted to collect organisms from water. The biomedia apparatus may further comprise at least one reinforcing member associated with the central core. In one embodiment, the biomedia apparatus is utilized in a trickle tower to treat wastewater. In another embodiment, the biomedia apparatus is utilized outside a power plant to minimize spat that is drawn into the plant through water intake valves.

Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic and prognostic methods for predicting the effectiveness of treatment of a cancer patient with an IGF-1R kinase inhibitor. Methods are provided for predicting the sensitivity of tumor cell growth to inhibition by an IGF-1R kinase inhibitor, comprising assessing whether the tumor cell has undergone an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), by determining the expression level of epithelial and/or mesenchymal biomarkers, wherein tumor cells that have undergone an EMT are substantially less sensitive to inhibition by IGF-1R kinase inhibitors.

Abstract: A user interface system decreases the number of user interactions with a computer user interface, used to select items in multiple related menus, through a comprehensive heuristic menu arrangement control by providing several discrete, yet complementary, features. The system enables user selection of related parameters identifying an order for providing an item. A repository includes information identifying candidate items for order and associated corresponding related order parameters. An individual item for order is associated with multiple related order parameters. A user interface processor provides data representing a display image identifying an initial complete candidate order including multiple related parameters, in response to user entry of order-associated data.

Abstract: A system for dynamically configuring a user interface display, including image elements for prompting user data entry, includes an input data processor for receiving input data via a prompt element for display in the user interface. A database is readily updated and modified to include a dynamically variable condition and associates a condition with input data received via the prompt element An image element processor determines whether the received input data satisfies the condition and at least either activates or inactivates an image element in the user interface display in response to the determination.

Abstract: An intake manifold assembly includes an intake manifold having an intake passageway and a fuel injector in communication with the intake passageway. At least a portion of the fuel injector is molded into the intake manifold such that liquid fuel and hydrocarbon emissions are substantially prevented from leaking outside of the intake manifold.

Abstract: A data switching system, having a switch processor, directs requests to initiate a new operation session of an executable application. The switch processor parses received data representing a received universal resource locator (URL) to identify whether the received URL is associated with a request to initiate an operation session of an executable application. If the received URL is associated with a request to initiate an operation session, the switch processor initiates a data access request at a second URL address hosted by a particular server. In response to receiving a response indicating success of the data access request at the second URL address hosted by the particular server, the switch processor directs the request to initiate the operation session of the executable application to the particular server.

Abstract: A self configuring multiple element portable electronic device (100) and method is provided. The device comprises at least a first electronic element (104) and a second electronic element (106) and a joint (112) connecting the first electronic element and the second electronic element, with the joint allowing movement in more than one plane of the first electronic element in relation to the second electronic element, wherein the self configuring multiple element portable electronic device is capable of self configuring an operational mode based on a relative position of the first electronic element with respect to the second electronic element. The first housing has a first retaining member (1406) which is engageable to a second retaining member (1408) of the second housing. The method comprises the steps of detecting a relative position of the first electronic element relative to the second electronic element, and selecting an operational mode of the device based on the relative position.
