Abstract: A method for diagnosing an increased risk of a cancer in a subject includes the steps of obtaining a blood sample from the subject and determining, in the blood sample, a level of two or more of the polypeptides selected from the group consisting of VNN2, KCNJ15, SERPINB2, CREB5, ICAM3, NFE2, MNDA, PXN, FCAR, TSHZ3, NRG1, ALOX5AP, PAD14, PAD12, QPC, VNN1, SERPINB10, CLEC4D, TREM1, CLEC4E, CD82, MGAM, TMEM45B and VNN3, wherein an increase in the level of two or more of the polypeptides compared to a control level is indicative of an increased risk of cancer in the subject.

Abstract: A system for safely recharging and charging electrically powered vehicles, including hybrid powered vehicles, includes an electrical charging station for connecting the vehicles to a source of Ground Fault Protected electrical power, an authorization device for permitting an operator of the vehicle to utilize a secure electronic content distributor. The system also includes a metering system for recording the amount of electrical power or electricity utilized to charge or recharge the vehicle. A cover is hinged to the charging station and includes an aperture sized to secure said power cord to said electrical connection output. A locking pin assembly secures the cover in a closed position while said position indicator is engaged and maintains the cover in a closed position until an authorization to release the cover is received.

Abstract: A system for safely recharging and charging electrically powered vehicles, including hybrid powered vehicles, includes an electrical charging station for connecting the vehicles to a source of Ground Fault Protected electrical power, an authorization device for permitting an operator of the vehicle to utilize a secure electronic content distributor (SCED) such as a credit card, a debit card, a hotel/motel electronic key card, employee or student identification card, electronic membership card, retail credit card, a smart card, etc. to authorize payment for the amount of electrical power utilized to recharge or charge the vehicle. The system also includes a metering system for recording the amount of electrical power or electricity utilized to charge or recharge the vehicle. The metering system includes tracking and recording of the cost of the electrical power which is used to recharge or charge the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention enables automated form completion and comprises a combination of a graphical user interface, a database, one or more forms, a logic engine, and operational protocol. After a user's information is collected, the logic engine automatically creates an FDF file of the completed form, which may be sent electronically to predetermined recipients.

Abstract: In various embodiments, options for data striping to FLASH memory are provided. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an SATA to ATA bridge, an ATA to USB bridge coupled to the SATA to ATA bridge, and a USB interface coupled to the ATA to USB bridge. The apparatus also includes a first FLASH memory controller coupled to the USB interface. The apparatus further includes a first FLASH memory module coupled to the first FLASH memory controller. The apparatus also includes a second FLASH memory controller coupled to the USB interface and a second FLASH memory module coupled to the second FLASH memory controller.

Abstract: Methods for treating or preventing an epidermal or dermal disorder, e.g., psoriasis, using a CD2-binding agent, e.g., an inhibitor of the CD2/LFA-3 interaction (e.g., an LFA-3/IgG fusion polypeptide), in combination with an auxiliary agent, e.g., UVB irradiation, are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for treating and/or evaluating photodamage and/or photoaging of skin caused by exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The method employs a unique set of marker genes whose expression was newly found to be altered following exposure of skin to UV radiation. The invention provides an advantageous system of identifying and assessing substances that are capable of modulating, e.g., via attenuation, UV radiation induced alteration or change in the expression of at least one of the newly provided marker genes in skin relative to the gene expression level in skin not exposed to UV radiation. Also provided are compositions comprising materials that upon application to skin can modulate the gene expression of at least one gene of the marker gene set after exposure of skin to UV radiation, thereby affording protective and therapeutic effects and treatments for photodamage and photoaging. The potential benefit of, e.g.

Abstract: A high impact resistant rotationally molded door and process for molding the door is disclosed in which a hinge member is integrally molded to the door along one edge only. This hinge member forms to the hollow door edge without door warpage during curing and shrinking of rotationally molded plastic door body. Door warpage is avoided by delaying full integral attachment of the hinge member to the door until curing of the injected foam interior which both bonds to the interior of the door and the hinge member. An improved seal and hinge seal is disclosed together with a placed window construction that can include both placement and shaping to meet the special order needs. Further improvements including the expedient of venting a rotationally molded door during the rotational molding process through an integrally molded hinge edge reinforcing member. This same venting scheme is utilized for enabling improved cooling of the door once molding of the hollow door shell has occurred.
