Publication number: 20140304699Abstract: A message processing system, such as an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) gateway, sends a first message having a specific type of data content to a wireless communications device within a wireless communications network. In response to being unable to process the specific type of data content, the wireless communications device sends an error message to the message processing system. In response to receipt of the specific error message, the message processing system automatically triggers a transmission of a firmware upgrade notification message (e.g., a Wireless Application Protocol PUSH message) to the wireless communications device, which triggers the wireless communications device to request a firmware upgrade, from an external server (e.g., a Firmware Over The Air server), that enables the wireless communications device to become capable of processing the specific type of data content.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2011Publication date: October 9, 2014Applicant: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Xiao-Mei He, Yu Zhu

Publication number: 20140200160Abstract: A gene profiling signature for diagnosis and prognosis of cancer patients is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the gene signature includes 32 or 79 cancer survival factor-associated genes. Thus, provided herein is a method of determining the prognosis of a subject with a tumor by detecting expression of five of more cancer survival factor-associated genes in a tumor sample and comparing expression of the five or more cancer survival factor-associated genes in the tumor sample to a control. In some examples, an increase in expression of ABCF1, CORO1C, DPP3, PREB, UBE3A, and PTDSS1 in a tumor sample compared to a control sample indicates poor prognosis. Further provided are arrays including probes or antibodies specific for a plurality of cancer survival factor-associated genes or proteins.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServInventors: Steven K.
