Filed:

Jul 21, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/896287

Inventors:

Tyler Brooks - Seattle WA, US
Kevin McLaughlin - Charlestown MA, US
Helga Cecilia Dahl - Boston MA, US
Edward Kim - Seattle WA, US

Assignee:

Smart Destinations Inc. - Boston MA

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 26

Abstract:

A smart-card based system and methods to control access to a plurality of attractions within a geographical area. The system may include one or more reward terminals that are located at attractions and are configured to read smart cards presented to them and, assuming the card is valid for that location, allow the card holder to access the attraction. Each smart card may be programmed with a product code that defines the attractions at which the card may be used. Product codes may be stored in a central database along with a list of the attractions associated with the each product code. The list of attractions may be updated as desired, thereby updating and changing the attractions at which any given card may be used.

B25B 13/48
B25B 17/02

US Classification:

81 55, 81 5742

Abstract:

A torque intensifying tool for tightening and loosening threaded connectors has at least one torque intensifier unit with a torque intensifier housing portion, an input and a first output and a second output, a drive connected with the input unit for transmitting a torque from the drive through the intensifying unit to a threaded connector, so that in one mode of operation the housing portion together with the first and the second outputs turn in the same direction, and in another mode of operation the housing portion together with one of the first and second outputs receives a turning force in one direction while the other one of the first and second outputs receives an equal turning force in the opposite direction, and so that one of the first and second output means turns in the one mode and in the another mode while the other of the first and second output means turns in the one mode and reacts in the another mode.

Abstract:

Copy number gains detected in tumors and associated with drug sensitivity and resistance in vivo and in vitro can be used as biomarkers to select, predict and monitor drug treatment outcomes in cancer patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Methods to identify patients with NSCLC or other malignancies who are more likely to benefit from tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as VEGF or VEGFR inhibitors when used either as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies such as chemotherapy or EGFR inhibitors, and who are in the advanced stages of disease and/or who have undergone adjuvant therapy are also provided herein.
