Title: Method for assaying protein-protein interaction
Inventor: BARNEA GILAD
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-07-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining if a test compound, or a mix of compounds, modulates the interaction between two proteins of interest. The determination is made possible via the use of two recombinant molecules, one of which contains the first protein a cleavage site for a proteolytic molecules, and an activator of a gene. The second recombinant molecule includes the second protein and the proteolytic molecule. If the test compound binds to the first protein, a reaction is initiated whereby the activator is cleaved, and activates a reporter gene.

Abstract: The invention relates to treatment of thermally modified wood. Thermal modification means controlled heating treatment of wood most appropriately under moist atmosphere so as to improve the dimensional stability and decay resistance of the wood. In accordance with the invention, the water absorpti on tendency of themally modified wood is reduced by treating the wood with a hydrophobic sizing agent reactive with cellulose, the treatment resulting in water-repellent wood. The wood can be treated with a solution containing a sizing agent, and then the solvent is evaporated by drying. Suitable sizing agents comprise alkyl ketene dimers (AKD) and alkenyl succinic acid anhydrid es (ASA) dissolved in acetone, for instance. When ASA is used, the dried wood impregnated with the sizing agent requires an additional heating treatment i n order to become hydrophobic.

Title: Treating inflammation using a biological agent that causes cells to release cytokine receptors
Inventor: TETSUYA GATANAGA
IPC: C07K14/00
Filed: 2004-09-23
Abstract: This disclosure describes inventions related to the use of biological agents that cause cytokine receptors to be released from the surface of cells. One aspect of this invention is based on the unexpected finding that extending the length of an exemplary agent at the N-terminus enhances expression and production of the product by at least 10~fold. The extended protein can be used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions for treating inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Another aspect of this invention is based on the identification of biological agents that cause release of cytokine receptors not previously known as natural enzyme targets, such as the IL-1 Type I receptor, IL-1 Type 11 receptor and the IL-6 receptor. This disclosure provides products, assays, expression systems, purification methods, and production protocols useful for developing cytokine receptor releasing proteins as therapeutic agents.

Title: Method and apparatus for serially establishing a group call session
Inventor: XU HUA
IPC: H04M3/56
Filed: 2006-05-23
Abstract: Various embodiments are described for establishing a group call session serially. After receiving a serial group call request from a remote unit (101), fixed network equipment (FNE) (201) selects a first subset of members (260) from the targeted group (250) of units and signals those members to join the group call session. Various techniques for selecting the first subset may be employed depending on what system benefits are desired. A second subset of members (270) from the targeted group of units is also selected and signaled to join the session. This second subset may be used to invite additional units in order to achieve a maximum number of group participants.    Alternatively, the second subset may be used to invite a different unit (or units) to participate. This can be triggered by a user request to invite another subset to the group session, as could occur when the user is not able to resolve the particular matter at-hand with the group members of the first subset.
