Title: Use of anti-alpha5beta1 antibodies to inhibit cancer cell proliferation
Inventor: MURRAY RICHARD
IPC: C07K16/28
Filed: 2005-03-24
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for direct killing of cancer cells using anti-.alpha.5.beta.1 antibodies. Generally, the method comprises contacting a cancer cell that expresses .alpha.5.beta.1 on its surface with an anti-.alpha.5.beta.1 antibody, and thereby inducing the death of the cancer cell. The methods of the invention may be employed at an early stage of cancer development in a patient to prevent tumor establishment. In addition, the methods may be used to treat previously formed tumors especially in cancer that have not proven susceptible to anti-angiogenesis therapy. The methods may be employed as a combination therapy of anti-.alpha.5.beta.1 antibodies together with cancer chemotherapeutic agents or other molecular-based cancer therapeutic agents.

Title: Meat packaging system
Inventor: COUNTZ JOHN W
IPC: A23B4/16
Filed: 2005-06-28
Abstract: A system and method for rapidly binding fresh meat myoglobin with carbon monoxide. The method includes placing the fresh meat into a chamber, creating a negative pressure within the chamber, pressurizing the chamber with an atmosphere including carbon monoxide, maintaining the chamber at hyperbaric levels of pressure for a dwell time and bringing the chamber to regular atmospheric pressure. The myoglobin of the meat within the chamber is thereby rapidly converted to carboxymyoglobin and, thus, the meat appears normally oxygenated. The meat may be placed into a low oxygen atmosphere or vacuum packaging machine and packaged accordingly.

Title: Media manager for controlling autonomous media devices within a network environment and managing the flow and format of data between the devices
Inventor: SMYERS SCOTT D
IPC: H04L69/14
Filed: 1999-04-29
Abstract: A media manager provides data flow management and other services for client applications on devices coupled together within a network. Preferably, these devices are coupled together within an IEEE 1394-1995 serial bus network. A device control module is generated for each available device for providing an abstraction for all of the capabilities and requirements of the device including the appropriate control protocol, physical connections and connection capabilities for the device. The media manager also manages the flow and format of data transfers between the devices on the network. Through an interface, a user accesses the media manager and enters functions which are to be completed using the devices coupled together on the network. If the appropriate devices are available, the media manager controls and manages the completion of the requested task. If the appropriate devices are not available, but the required subdevices are available in multiple devices, the media manager forms a virtual device from subdevices in multiple devices in order to complete the requested task. Once the appropriate devices and subdevices are assigned to a task, the media manager determines if the data to be transmitted needs to be converted from one format into another format. If necessary, the media manager will also control the format conversion during the data transfer operation. The media manager also provides network enumeration and registry searching capabilities for client applications to find available services, physical devices and virtual devices.
