Publication number: 20240081876Abstract: Surgical instruments for interfacing with implants can include an inserter configured to dock to a unilateral portion of an implant. The inserter can include a control shaft that is configured to lock or unlock the inserter coupling with the implant. Actuation of the control shaft can occur by way of a knob that can control movement of the control shaft. The inserter can facilitate positioning of the implant relative to a surgical site and allow for application of counter-torque when imparting torque for tightening a set screw, etc. Additional instruments can also be used to manipulate the implant. For example, auxiliary instruments can be coupled to the inserter, such as a reducer instrument, to facilitate rod reduction, etc. Alternatively or in addition, a holder instrument can be used that has a threaded distal engagement feature for coupling to the implant to facilitate positioning thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Joseph Peterson, Joseph M. DeLage, Ryan Thomas Andrade, Paul S. Maguire, Ellen Roberts, Michael Sorrenti, Roman Lomeli, Benjamin Robert Powers, Keanan Smith

Publication number: 20170228632Abstract: Systems and methods wherein one or more processing operations on an identification document occur after a radiation curable material is applied to a surface of the identification document but before the radiation curable material is fully cured. The one or more processing operations can occur before any curing of the radiation curable material takes place. Alternatively, the one or more processing operations can occur after the radiation curable material has been partially cured, and before the radiation curable material is fully or completely cured.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2017Publication date: August 10, 2017Inventors: Roman Thomas KNIPP, Pauline UKPABI, Utpal R.

Publication number: 20140287454Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of selecting (a) cell(s), (a) tissue(s) or (a) cell culture(s) with susceptibility to a selective CDK9 inhibitor. Also a method for determining the responsiveness of a mammalian tumor cell or cancer cell to treatment with a selective CDK9 inhibitor is described herein. In particular, the present invention provides for an in vitro method for the identification of a responder for or a patient sensitive to a selective CDK9 inhibitor, whereby the patient is suspected to suffer from NUT midline carcinoma (NMC). The present invention also relates to a method of monitoring or predicting the efficacy of a treatment of NUT midline carcinoma (NMC), wherein treatment with a selective CDK9 inhibitor is in particular envisaged. Also the use of a (transgenic) non-human animal or a (transgenic) cell having at least one rearrangement in the NUT gene for screening and/or validation of a medicament for the treatment NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) is described.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2012Publication date: September 25, 2014Applicants: MAX-PLANCK-GESELLSCHAFT ZUR FÖRDERUNG DER WISSENSCHAFTEN E.V., LEAD DISCOVERY CENTER GmbHInventors: Axel Choidas, Bert Klebl, Peter Habenberger, Jan Eickhoff, Roman Thomas, Johannes Heuckmann

Publication number: 20130023420Abstract: The present invention relates to a combination of cell lines as well as a method of selecting (a) cell(s), (a) tissue(s) or (a) cell culture(s) with susceptibility to an HSP90 inhibitor anti-tumor agent. Also a method for determining the responsiveness of a mammalian tumor cell or cancer cell or collection of cells or cell lines to treatment with a drug such as an HSP90 inhibitor anti-tumor agent is described herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2012Publication date: January 24, 2013Inventors: Roman Thomas, Kathrin Maring, Thomas Zander, Peter Frommolt, Kwok-kin Wong

Also a method for determining the responsiveness of a mammalian tumor cell or cancer cell to treatment with an HSP90 inhibitor is described herein. In particular, the present invention provides for an in vitro method for the identification of a responder for or a patient sensitive to an HSP90 inhibitor and uses of an oligo- or polynucleotide capable of detecting (an) activating mutation(s) in the KRAS gene are provided. The present invention also relates to a method of monitoring the efficacy of a treatment of a cancer characterized by the presence of at least one activating mutation in the KRAS gene, and. optionally, in the EGFR gene and/or the BRAF gene. In addition, a method of predicting the efficacy of a cancer treatment is described, in particular in a cancer that is characterized by the presence of at least one activating mutation in the KRAS gene. and.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2009Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicants: Universit+e,uml a+ee t zu K+e,uml o+ee ln, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur F+e,uml o+ee rderung der WissensInventors: Roman Thomas, Kathrin Maring, Thomas Zander, Peter Frommolt, Kwok-kin Wong

Patent number: 6964530Abstract: A system and method are provided for correcting a hang condition caused by an unanticipated exception during a printing process. The method may include providing a set of predetermined rules according to which the print process modules interact to control the printing process. The method further may include monitoring, from a self-correcting module, a state of each of a plurality of the print process modules. The method may also include determining that the printing device is hung during a printing process, based on at least one predetermined rule and the state of at least one print process module, and setting the state of at least one print process module to a default condition.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2004Date of Patent: November 15, 2005Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Nataraj Kumar Gobbak, Jeetendra Kumar, Roman Thomas Wachter
