Filed:

Jul 9, 2009

Appl. No.:

13/003332

Inventors:

Ming Zhang - Brooklyn NY, US

International Classification:

G01N 33/566

US Classification:

435 79, 436501, 435 71

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the quantitative measurement of auto-reactive antibodies in a patient sample. In particular, the present invention is directed to, inter alia, a method for predicting the degree of cardiovascular injury in a patient following an ischemic event, said method comprising: immobilizing anti-NMHC II antibody on a solid support; adding a lysate of cardiac tissue to the solid support so that antigens in the lysate are captured by the immobilized antibody; adding a biological sample from the patient to said solid support, and incubating said sample for a time sufficient for IgM autoantibodies in the biological sample to bind to antigens in the cardiac tissue lysate; contacting said solid support with an anti-IgM antibody; removing unbound labeled antibodies; and determining the level of anti NMHC II autoantibodies in the biological sample by measuring the amount of labeled anti-IgM antibody bound to the solid support, wherein elevated levels of anti-NMHC II autoantibodies compared to normal individuals at time of patient admission indicates an increased risk of injury. Such methods are useful, inter alia, in the prognosis and monitoring of cardiovascular diseases.

Appl. No.:

8/155500

Inventors:

John R. Spence - Villa Park CA

Ming M. Zhang - Irvine CA

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - Seal Beach CA

International Classification:

H03B 530

US Classification:

331158

Abstract:

An oscillator circuit provides a symmetrical signal without halving the frequency of a crystal oscillator 12. The input 14 of the crystal oscillator 12 is low pass filtered, and the output 18 of the filter 16 is differential voltage compared with the input 14 of the crystal oscillator 12. The output 22 of the differential voltage comparator 20 is symmetrical and of the same frequency as the crystal oscillator 12. The crystal oscillator 12 is preferably a Pierce oscillator.

G06N 20/00

Abstract:

An apparatus, method and computer program product for query optimization in a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), wherein an optimizer accesses a query expression repository (QER), so that the optimizer learns from previous versions of the queries to improve current and subsequent versions of the queries. The QER stores planning and execution information for QEs from the previous versions of the queries, wherein the QEs comprise table relations, intermediate results and/or final results of operations in the previous versions of the queries. The optimizer searches the QER for QEs from the query execution plans, and uses information from the QEs stored in the QER when optimizing the current and subsequent versions of the queries. The optimizer may also reuses results from the QEs stored in the QER.
