Patent number: 12545961Abstract: A method for predicting risk of recurrence of cancer in an individual with cancer, the method comprising a step of assaying a cancer sample from the individual for positive expression of at least two genes or proteins encoded by those genes selected from the group consisting of FOXM1, UHRF1, PTTG1, E2F1, MYBL2, HMGB2, ATAD2, E2F8, ZNF367 and TCF19, wherein positive expression of the at least two genes correlates with increased risk of recurrence of cancer compared with an individual who does not exhibit positive expression of the at least two genes or proteins encoded by those genes.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2023Date of Patent: February 10, 2026Assignees: THE PROVOST, FELLOWS, SCHOLARS AND OTHER MEMBERS OF BOARD OF TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, DUBLINInventors: Adrian Bracken, Fiona Lanigan, William Gallagher

Patent number: 8934289Abstract: A mechanism is provided for storing multiple bits in a domain wall nanowire magnetic junction device. The multiple bits are encoded based on a resistance of the domain wall nanowire magnetic junction device using a single domain wall. The single domain wall is shifted to change the resistance of the domain wall nanowire magnetic junction device to encode a selected bit. The resistance is checked to ensure that it corresponds to a preselected resistance for the selected bit. Responsive to the resistance corresponding to the preselected resistance for the selected bit, he selected bit is stored. Responsive to the resistance not being the preselected resistance for the selected bit, the single domain wall is shifted until the resistance corresponds to the preselected resistance.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2012Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Anthony J. Annunziata, Michael C. Gaidis, William Gallagher, Luc Thomas

Patent number: 8839209Abstract: A method for software performance analysis and debugging in a multi-tenant database network system is provided. In at least one embodiment, sampling is achieved using configuration files of each server cluster. Knowledge of the host names of each server in the cluster enables a profiler to target a single server for each sample, thereby facilitating a round-robin sample across a clustered server environment such that a CPU's load and processing cost associated to sampling is fairly and uniformly distributed across all servers in the cluster. As a result, in at least one embodiment of the analysis and debugging tool each sample is a complete stack trace dump of each thread running on the application server at that moment in time.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: William Gallagher, Zuye Zheng, Fiaz Hossain, James Iry, Nagraj Kulkarni

Publication number: 20090093424Abstract: A method of diagnosing melanoma and/or monitoring melanoma progression, in particular for determining whether the melanoma is likely to have metastatic capabilities, in a subject includes the steps of in a test sample determining the methylation status of FABP5 wherein methylation of the gene indicates a positive diagnosis of melanoma and/or increased methylation of the gene indicates the progression of melanoma. Methods of monitoring melanoma progression may also incorporate measuring the expression levels of FABP5, with low levels of expression indicating a positive diagnosis of melanoma and/or lower levels of expression being indicative of progression of melanoma. Methods of treating melanoma in a subject comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor or a histone deacetylase inhibitor to the subject such that expression of FABP5 is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2007Publication date: April 9, 2009Inventors: William Gallagher, Mairin Rafferty, William Faller
