  • Methods of Diagnosing Rejection of a Kidney Allograft Using Genomic or Proteomic Expression Profiling
    Publication number: 20110189680
    Abstract: A method of determining the acute allograft rejection status of a subject, the method comprising the steps of: determining the nucleic acid expression profile of one or more than one nucleic acid markers, or one or more than one proteomic markers in a biological sample from the subject; comparing the expression profile of the one or more than one nucleic acid markers to a control profile; and determining whether the expression level of the one or more than one nucleic acid markers is increased relative to the control profile, wherein the increase of the one or more than one nucleic acid markers is indicative of the acute rejection status of the subject.

  • High speed cleanup of removable storage device
    Publication number: 20060198272
    Abstract: A removable data cartridge is protected from air-transported particles such as dust, excessive moisture, contaminants, and the like by filtering or otherwise conditioning the airflow at initial startup. The recording media in the data cartridge is initially spun at a rate of speed higher than the operating speed for a brief period of time. By spinning the media at the increased speed, any particles in the cartridge will be removed by the filters. After the initial cleaning period, the spin speed of the media is reduced to a normal operating level.
