Abstract: A clinical trial matching platform can have an inventory of clinical trials that are recruiting participants. The clinical trial matching platform can present lists of such clinical trials to medical providers, who can agree to perform pre-screening activities associated with any of the clinical trials to identify any patients of the medical providers who may be eligible to participate in the clinical trials. The medical providers can also use the clinical trial matching platform to refer any identified qualifying patients to participate in the clinical trials. The clinical trial matching platform can provide information about qualifying patients to trial sponsors of the clinical trials. The clinical trial matching platform can additionally provide navigation services to the patients, for instance to help resolve any issues that might otherwise prevent the patients from participating in the clinical trials.

Abstract: An Ethernet switch has at least one ingress/egress port which is operable in two modes, in a first mode as a GE port and in a second mode as a plurality of FE ports. The port has 8 MAC interfaces each of which is capable of receiving/transmitting FE packets, and at least one of the MAC interfaces can be configured to receive/transmit GE packets. Thus, the port has two modes of operation. The port further includes receive and transmit modules which receive GE and FE packets from, and transmit GE and FE packets to, the interfaces.

Abstract: An antenna mount is disclosed. The antenna mount includes a mast and a foot that are substantially free of electrically conductive elements. The mast has a first end having a circular cross-section configured to be received by a mounting bracket of a satellite dish having a circular interior cross-section. The foot is configured to be secured to a stationary mounting surface and to be pivotally attached to a second end of the mast.

Abstract: Cytokeratins are intermediate filaments in the epithelial cells. Human cancers are malignant counterparts of normal epithelia. Human cancer cells express various kinds of cytokeratins dependent upon the specific cancer cell type. Pathologists have been using cytokeratin immunostaining for classification of tumor origins and cancer types. We claim that the protein levels of cytokeratin 7 (CK7) in the blood and/or body fluids are proportional to the tumor burden, and these protein levels of CK7 can be used as biomarkers for cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment monitoring.

Abstract: An Ethernet switch has at least one ingress/egress port 1 which is operable in two modes, in a first mode as a GE port and in a second mode as a plurality of FE ports. The port has 8 MAC interfaces 3 each of which is capable of receiving/transmitting FE packets, and at least one of the MAC interfaces can be configured to receive/transmit GE packets. Thus, the port has two modes of operation. The port further includes receive and transmit modules 5, 7 which receive GE and FE packets from, and transmit GE and FE packets to, the interfaces. If there are 8 such ports in the Ethernet switch, then by switching different numbers of the ports between the two modes, the switch may operate in 9 different modes: as 8 GE ports, 7 GE ports and 8 FE ports, 2 GE ports and 48 FE ports, 1 GE port and 56 FE ports, or simply as 64 FE ports.
