Abstract: This application relates generally to lung cancer-related biomarkers, such as aggressive lung cancer-related molecules, which can be used to predict clinical outcomes, such as patient overall survival and/or metastasis-free survival, and methods of using the same to diagnose, prognose, monitor, and treat lung cancer, such as lung adenocarcinoma, in a subject

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for preparing a hot beverage includes a housing (12) comprising a burner chamber (40) and a reservoir (20) for storing a volume of liquid. A burner (42) is disposed in the burner chamber (40). A heating coil (92) in fluid communication with the reservoir (20). The heating coil (92) has a portion (100) disposed in the burner chamber (40). A filter assembly (30) supports a filter basket (34) and a beverage flavoring substance disposed in the filter basket. The burner (42) is operable to burn a combustible fuel gas in the chamber (40) to heat the liquid in the heating coil (92). The heating coil (92) directs heated liquid toward the filter assembly (30). The heated liquid passes through the filter means (30) and combines with the beverage flavoring substance to produce the hot beverage.

Abstract: Several improvements have been made in inkjet print cartridges to realize 5 ng drop weights at ejection frequencies of 18 KHz. These improvements include small nozzle openings, improved heater resistor efficiency, and better ink supply reliability.

Abstract: A configurator tool, method, program product and service for configuring an optical network wherein an input device is used to input a proposed configuration of the optical network where the proposed configuration is different from the present configuration. A processor evaluates the proposed configuration of the optical network and determines needed components to complete the proposed configuration. An output device provides a listing of needed components determined by the processor. The output device may include automatically ordering the needed components from suppliers. In one embodiment, the processor may design several variations of the proposed configuration, and optimize the design.
