  • Patent number: 8576224
    Abstract: A method of determining a rigid motion between a master solid model and an approximated target model (or, more generally, between any two models having different types) includes identifying, within each model, geometrical entities having a unique characteristic, and then determining the best match between the identified geometric entities. The system provides, in machine-readable form, a master model comprising a precise definition of a three-dimensional solid and a target model comprising a simplified definition of the three-dimensional solid. Then it identifies a first set of geometric entities (e.g., planar faces) within the master model that have a unique characteristic (e.g., planar area), and identifies a second set of geometric entities in the target model that have the unique characteristic. The system then determines a best match between a member of the first set of geometric entities and a member of the second set of geometric entities using, for example, a Hungarian matching algorithm.

  • Publication number: 20090148834
    Abstract: Methods for identifying patients having or at risk of developing prostate cancer (including hormone refractory or androgen independent prostate cancer) and patients having or at risk of developing a cancer arising from metastasis if a prostate cancer to another tissue, e.g., liver and lymph node, by measuring the expression or activity of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase are described. The invention also provides: methods of screening for compounds that can be used to treat prostate cancer (including hormone refractory or androgen independent prostate cancer) or metastases of prostate cancer by screening for compounds that modulate the expression or activity of the alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase polypeptides or nucleic acids; a process for modulating (i.e., reducing) alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase polypeptide or nucleic acid expression or activity, e.g.

  • Publication number: 20080025884
    Abstract: Integrated Combustion Reactors (ICRs) and methods of making ICRs are described in which combustion chambers (or channels) are in direct thermal contact to reaction chambers for an endothermic reaction. Particular reactor designs are also described. Processes of conducting reactions in integrated combustion reactors are described and results presented. Some of these processes are characterized by unexpected and superior results, and/or results that can not be achieved with any prior art devices.

  • Publication number: 20070046957
    Abstract: A method and system for determining chromatic content of a page of an electronic document. Object level color analysis is performed on a page of the electronic document to determine whether the page is chromatic, achromatic or has highlight color, based on the object level color analysis. The page is then classified as chromatic, achromatic or highlight color, based on the results of the determination.

  • Publication number: 20060019344
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions for identifying malignant tumors that overexpress the c-erbB-2 oncogene. Assays useful for diagnosis and prognosis of neoplastic disease are provided which detect the external domain of c-erbB-2, the glycoprotein gp75 and quantitate the level of gp75 in the biological fluids of mammals carrying a tumor burden. Further disclosed are recombinant, synthetically and otherwise biologically produced novel proteins and polypeptides which are encoded by the external domain DNA sequence of the c-erbB-2 oncogene (the gp75 gene) or fragments thereof. Such gp75 proteins and polypeptides are useful as vaccines, therapeutically in the treatment of cancer either alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. Also disclosed are antibodies to such gp75 proteins and polypeptides which are useful diagnostically and therapeutically. Still further disclosed are test kits embodying the assays of this invention.

  • Patent number: 5625773
    Abstract: This invention is a method of representing the text in a document in a way that enables very fast text processing on digital computers. More specifically, each word of text is represented as a number (or token) that refers to an information packet describing the word's characteristics. Operations then process each token, rather than each character, to perform text processing functions. In addition to the compact nature of this representation, the performance of virtually all functions in a WYSIWYG editor which are dependent on line-breaking speed are improved.
