Title: Vista regulatory T cell mediator protein, vista binding agents and use thereof
Inventor: NOELLE RANDOLPH J
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2011-03-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel regulatory T cell protein. This protein, designated PD-L3 OR VISTA resembles members of the PD-L1 family, identified a novel and structurally-distinct, Ig-superfamily inhibitory ligand, whose extracellular domain bears homology to the B7 family ligand PD-L1. This molecule is designated as PD-L3 OR VISTA or V-domain Immunoglobulin Suppressor of T cell Activation (VISTA). Expression of VISTA is primarily within the hematopoietic compartment and is highly regulated on myeloid APCs and T cells. Therapeutic intervention of the VISTA inhibitory pathway represents a novel approach to modulate T cell-mediated immunity for the treatment of a wide variety of cancers, e.g., ovarian, bladder cancer and melanomas. Also, VISTA proteins, especially multimeric VISTA proteins and antibodies may be used to suppress T cell immunity in autoimmune disease, allergy, infection and inflammatory conditions, e.g. multiple sclerosis and artritic conditions such as RA.

Patent AU-2011323917-A1 (AU)
Title: Physically secured authorization for utility applications
Inventor: VASWANI RAJ
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2011-10-11
Abstract: To provide overall security to a utility management system, critical command and control messages that are issued to components of the system are explicitly approved by a secure authority. The explicit approval authenticates the requested action and authorizes the performance of the specific action indicated in a message. Key components of the utility management and control system that are associated with access control are placed in a physical bunker. With this approach, it only becomes necessary to bunker those subsystems that are responsible for approving network actions. Other management modules can remain outside the bunker, thereby avoiding the need to partition them into bunkered and non-bunkered components. Access to critical components of each of the non-bunkered subsystems is controlled through the bunkered approval system.

Title: Closed-loop energy neutral air drying system
Inventor: REINDERS GEURT
IPC: A01G9/24
Filed: 2011-12-08
Abstract: Systems and methods for dehumidifying or drying air entering a greenhouse while it is being cooled are disclosed. Air to be cooled is drawn through a cooling medium (13), and the systems and methods make use of heat extracted from the hot air before entering the cooling mechanism for use in heating the cooled air exiting the cooling mechanism. This reinsertion of the extracted heat into the exiting air allows for humidity control while maintaining a lower temperature compared to the temperature of the air as it entered the cooling mechanism. Different embodiments according to the present invention comprise closed-loop, energy neutral air drying systems that do not utilize external energy or materials to dry the air. This provides an energy efficient air drying system that allows for greenhouse operation with reduced operating costs.
