IPC: G07F7/12
Filed: 2000-12-01
Granted: 2004-09-02
Abstract: There are provided methods of handling stored electronic original objects that have been created by signing information objects by respective transfer agents, submitting signed information objects to a trusted custodial utility, validating the submitted signed information objects by at least testing the integrity of the contents of each signed information object and the validity of the signature of the respective transfer agent, and applying to each validated information object a date-time stamp and a digital signature and authentication certificate of the trusted custodial utility. One method includes re-validating an electronic original object by verifying the digital signature of the trusted custodial utility applied to the object and applying to the re-validated object a current date-time stamp and a digital signature and current authentication certificate of the trusted custodial utility. Other methods involve handling information objects that are transferable records according to specified business rules, which avoids problems that can arise if copies of the transferable records can be mistaken for originals.

Granted: 2002-04-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for fixation of a bone fracture. The device comprises at least one distal pin having a mounting end for insertion on a distal side of the fracture, at least one proximal pin having a mounting end for insertion on a proximal side of the fracture, a distal member attached to the distal pins, a proximal member attached to the proximal pins and slideably connected to the distal member for reducing or distracting the bone fracture, a distraction assembly for controlling the movement between the proximal and distal members, and a removable engagement element. The distraction assembly has two modes of operation: an active configuration and an inactive configuration. In the active configuration, incremental relative sliding movement between the proximal and distal members is allowed, and, in the inactive configuration, free relative sliding movement between the proximal and distal members is allowed. The engagement element operatively engages the distraction assembly in the inactive configuration. Removal of the engagement element places the distraction assembly in the active configuration.

Title: Novel serpentine transmembrane antigens expressed in human cancers and uses thereof
Inventor: AFAR DANIEL E
IPC: C07K14/705
Filed: 1999-06-01
Granted: 2003-03-06
Abstract: Described is a novel family of cell surface serpentine transmembrane antigens. Two of the proteins in this family are exclusively or predominantly expressed in the prostate, as well as in prostate cancer, and thus members of this family have been termed "STRAP" (Serpentine TRansmembrane Antigens of the Prostate). Four particular human STRAPs are described and characterized herein. The human STRAPs exhibit a high degree of structural conservation among them but show no significant structural homology to any known human proteins. The prototype member of the STRAP family, STRAP-1, appears to be a type IIIa membrane protein expressed predominantly in prostate cells in normal human tissues.; Structurally, STRAP-1 is a 339 amino acid protein characterized by a molecular topology of six transmembrane domains and intracellular N- and C-termini, suggesting that it folds in a "serpentine" manner into three extracellular and two intracellular loops. STRAP-1 protein expression is maintained at high levels across various stages of prostate cancer. Moreover, STRAP-1 is highly over-expressed in certain other human cancers.
