Abstract:
Methods of treating a PD-1-resistant cancer are provided and comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a c-Rel inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of a PD-1 inhibitor. A pharmaceutical combination comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a c-Rel inhibitor, and a therapeutically effective amount of a PD-1 inhibitor is also provided. Finally, methods of treating a cancer such as a CTLA-4-resistant cancer, a CD137-resistant cancer, and an OX-4-resistant cancer are provided and comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a c-Rel inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of a CLTA-4, CD137 or OX-4 inhibitor, respectively.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting onset of or preventing development of a psoriatic lesion in a patient having psoriasis. The method comprises administering to a patient having psoriasis an effective amount of an agent that inhibits NF-κB activity under conditions effective to inhibit onset of or prevent development of psoriatic lesions. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of treating an early stage psoriatic lesion on a patient by contacting the early stage psoriatic lesion of a patient with an effective amount of an agent that inhibits NF-κB activity, whereby said contacting inhibits development of the early stage psoriatic lesion. Both transgenic and nontransgenic approaches are contemplated.

Abstract:
A method of reading bar code symbols using a digital-imaging based code symbol reading system employing an event-driven multi-tier modular software architecture and supporting automatic operating system login and loading of a bar code symbol reading application.
Abstract:
A hand-supportable digital imaging-based bar code symbol reading device comprises: an IR-based object presence and range detection subsystem; a area-type image formation and detection subsystem having an image capture modes of operation; a multi-mode led-based illumination subsystem for providing a narrow-band field of illumination; an automatic light exposure measurement and illumination control subsystem; an image capturing and buffering subsystem; a image-processing bar code symbol reading subsystem; an input/output subsystem; and a system control subsystem integrated with each of the above-described subsystems. The automatic light exposure measurement and illumination control subsystem has a light collecting element and a photodiode arranged within the hand-supportable housing, wherein incident illumination is collected from the predetermined portion of the FOV using the light collecting element, and then focused upon the photodiode for detection of the intensity of incident illumination and subsequent processing by the automatic light exposure measurement and illumination control subsystem.

Abstract:
A digital-imaging based code symbol reading system having a hands-on mode operation and a hands-free presentation mode of operation, and supporting automatic programming of system parameters for automatic configuration of the system in hands-on and hands-free modes of operation. The system comprises: an image formation and detection subsystem; an illumination subsystem; a digital image processing subsystem; a system control subsystem for managing system parameters, and controlling and/or coordinating operations of the system; and a configuration detection mechanism. The image formation and detection subsystem has the area-type image sensing array for detecting digital images of objects formed thereon by image formation optics providing a field of view (FOV) for the system. Within the FOV of the image formation and detection subsystem, the illumination subsystem produces a field of illumination that illuminates the object during the image capture mode of operation, and one or more digital images thereof are detected by an area-type image sensing array. When the hand-supportable housing is picked up from on a countertop surface or support stand and held in an operator's hand, the system parameters are automatically programmed so that the digital-imaging code symbol reading system is automatically configured into its hands-on mode of operation. When the hand-supportable is resting on the countertop surface or in the support stand, the system parameters are automatically programmed so that the digital-imaging code symbol reading system is automatically configured into its hands-free presentation mode of operation.
