  • Sensor stack venting
    Patent number: 9111703
    Abstract: Sensor stack venting techniques are described. In one or more implementations, one or more vent structures are formed within layers of a pressure sensitive sensor stack for a device. Vent structures including channels, holes, slots, and so forth are designed to provide pathways for gas released by feature elements to escape. The pathways may be arranged to convey outgases through the layers to designated escape points in a controlled manner that prevents deformities typically caused by trapped gases. The escape points in some layers enable at least some other layers to be edge-sealed. Pathways may then be formed to convey gas from the edge-sealed layer(s) to an edge vented layer(s) having one or more escape points, such that feature elements in the edge-sealed layer(s) remain protected from contaminants.

  • Method and Compositions for Treating Cancer and Related Methods
    Publication number: 20150224101
    Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-cancer therapeutics. In certain aspects, cancers are treated with a combination of an anti-EGFR agent and an agent that increases the activity of the KLF6 tumor suppressor gene and/or an agent that increases activity of the FOXO1 tumor suppressor gene. In a preferred aspect, the anti-EGFR agent erlotinib a tricyclic agent compound, are used in combination to treat non-small cell lung cancer in a patient with primary or acquired drug resistance to erlotinib, and wherein the tricyclic agent is administered in an amount that does not lead to a substantial central nervous system effect. In additional aspects, the invention relates to compositions and kits useful for treating cancers, methods for screening for compounds that enhance the activity of anti-EGFR agent, and methods for determining whether a patient will respond to anti-EGFR therapy.
