Abstract: Allogeneic stem cell transplants (SCT) can induce curative Graft
versus Tumor (GvT) reactivities in patients with hematological malignancies.
The GvT reaction is mainly mediated by allo immune donor T-cells specific for
polymorphic minor Histocompatibility antigens (mHags). Among these, the
mHag HA-1 was found to be restricted to the hematopoietic system. Here we
report the expression of HA-1 by non-hematopoietic tumor cells. While absent
in normal epithelial cells, tumor cells, tumor cell lines particularly from
epithelial origin, also express HA-1 and are recognized by HA-1 cytotoxic T
cells. The invention provides, among others, means and methods for HA-1
specific immunotherapy for HA-1 positive patients with non-hematopoietictumor
cells.

Abstract: The electrical contacts, such as ball grid array (BGA) solder balls, of an integrated circuit (IC) are coupled to printed circuit board (PCB) bonding pads that include vias. According to an embodiment of an electronic assembly, the vias are formed off-center, so as to inhibit bridging between adjacent solder balls during a solder reflow operation by minimizing the effect of solder ball ballooning resulting from outgassing of a thermally expansive substance, such as a volatile organic compound (VOC) from the via channels. The bonding pads are separated into two groups, each having vias offset in a different direction, so that asymmetric surface tension forces in the molten solder during a solder reflow operation do not cause the IC to slide to one side. A substrate, an electronic assembly, an electronic system, and fabrication methods are also described.

Abstract: A computer or computer system and method for implementing on a
computer a dynamic multi-unit auction is described in which the price paid or
received by bidders tends to be independent of their own bids, in which
participants may be provided with information concerning their competitors'
bids as the auction progresses, and in which the confidentiality of high values
is maintained. The system receives bids from a plurality of bidders for a
plurality of items in a dynamic bidding process and usually determines an
allocation of the items among bidders. This provides the advantage of
improving the economic efficiency of the auction design and usefully enables
a seller or buyer to efficiently auction multiple types of goods or services, and
to efficiently auction items with complex possibilities for substitution.

IPC: H03K5/003

Abstract: An integrated level shifter circuit converts an input signal having a first voltage
potential to an output signal having a second voltage potential. The level shifter
circuit provides circuit operation between the sections when the voltage potential of
the input logic signal is converted to the output logic signal having lower voltage
potential. For logic signals transmitted between sections of an integrated circuit
operating with different supply voltages. The level shift circuit for each input includes
two transistors and a voltage divider circuit having two resistors in series. The values
of the resistors are selected to yield a desired output voltage at a node between the two
resistors. In effect, the resistors lessen a full 0.9 volt diode drop to yield a level shift
which is a fraction of a diode drop. A capacitor in parallel with the resistor provides a
path for AC signals and increases both the speed and bandwidth of the level shifter.
