Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for dynamically reporting information stored in a repository. According to one embodiment, a method for dynamically reporting information stored in one or more data repositories can comprise retrieving report metadata from a report repository. The report metadata can define a format for the report and identify one or more queries for the report. Query metadata can be retrieved from a query repository. The query metadata can define one or more queries, for example, Structured Query Language (SQL) queries. Retrieving the query metadata can be based on the one or more queries identified in the report metadata. The one or more queries defined by the query metadata can be performed on the one or more data repositories and a results matrix can be populated with results of performing the one or more queries defined in the query metadata.

Abstract: The overexpression of certain marker genes including Wnt5a has been found useful in the identification of more aggressive forms of malignant melanoma. Therefore, the overexpression of these genes in tumor samples of malignant melanoma may be useful in the diagnosis, profiling, and treatment of patients suffering from this disease. Inhibitors of Wnt5a activity may be useful in the treatment of aggressive forms of malignant melanoma. Inhibition of Wnt5a activity may be effected by any method including anti-sense therapy, gene therapy, and pharmaceutical intervention.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a dynamic channel selector for use with a wireless local area network and a method of selecting a channel therein. In one embodiment, the dynamic channel selector includes a channel quality subsystem that monitors a signal quality of a signal traversing a first channel of the wireless local area network and a noise level of the first channel. The dynamic channel selector also includes an interference mitigation subsystem, coupled to the channel quality subsystem, that selects a second channel of the wireless local area network as a function of the signal quality of the signal traversing the first channel and the noise level of the first channel.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and system for archiving and compacting data in a data storage array. In one embodiment, a plurality of archivable files are identified, archived, and removed from a data storage array. A first configuration of the data storage array is then determined in which the free space on each of a plurality of data storage devices in the data storage array is calculated. A process is performed for moving a plurality of files from a first of the data storage devices to other data storage devices in the data storage array. The moving process is repeated to create a second configuration of the data storage array. In the second configuration, the first data storage device has a greater amount of free space than in the first configuration.

Abstract: A component stager accepts from developers one or more versions of a component of a product, and associates with each version a time that is one of a number of the periodically recurring times (also called “ticks”), e.g. an upcoming Wednesday, if the periodically recurring times happen on a weekly basis, i.e. every Wednesday. Such associations may be used to identify one or more versions that are associated with a specific tick, e.g. to identify the amount of work done between to ticks and/or to find versions that are currently available for release, which may be based on a most recent tick, or a tick associated with a milestone in the past.

Abstract: The performance of a WDM system is improved by adjusting launch powers of each channel responsive to a prediction of system performance degradation. The prediction of system performance degradation could relate to the effect of Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) in which case, given launch power, a value representative of the effect of SRS is estimated for each channel in a WDM system using a method described herein. Using this SRS effect estimate, a value is computed for the estimated output power of each channel. These estimated output power values are then used to refine the estimate of the SRS effect on each channel. Subsequently, the refined SRS effect estimates are used to refine the estimated output power values. These steps are repeated and eventually an estimate of SRS effect on each wavelength channel is settled upon that is as accurate as that which results from other, more computationally complex, methods.
