Title: Vaccinia ankara modifie exprimant p53 en immunotherapie du cancer
Inventor: ELLENHORN JOSHUA D I
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2003-12-22
Abstract: Des mutations dans la protéine p53 suppresseur de tumeur ont été observées dans 40-60 % de tous les cancers humains. Ces mutations sont souvent associées à de hautes concentrations nucléaires et cytoplasmiques de p53. Etant donné que de nombreuses tumeurs présentent des niveaux très élevés de p53, la protéine constitue une cible attractive pour l'immunothérapie du cancer. Malheureusement, la p53 est un auto-antigène susceptible d'être toléré en tant qu'auto-protéine par le système immun. La présente invention est basée sur la découverte que cette auto-tolérance peut être surmontée par l'administration de vaccinia Ankara modifié (MVA) recombiné contenant un acide nucléique codant p53 (rMVAp53). L'invention présente une méthode de génération d'une réponse CTL spécifique de p53 à des cellules tumorales exprimant une p53 mutée par administration d'une composition contenant rMVAp53. L'administration de rMVAp53 diminue le développement de la tumeur, la croissance de la tumeur et la mortalité dans une variété de types de cellules malignes. Ces effets sont accrus par l'administration d'immunomodulateurs tels que le bloqueur de CTLA-4 et/ou CpG oligodéxynuclétide.

IPC: H04W40/16
Filed: 1998-11-03
Abstract: In a data communication system capable of variable rate transmission, high
rate packet data transmission improves utilization of the forward link and
decreases the transmission delay. Data transmission on the forward link is
time multiplexed and the base station transmits at the highest data rate
supported by the forward link at each time slot to one mobile station. The data
rate is determined by the largest C/I measurement of the forward link signals
as measured at the mobile station. Upon determination of a data packet
received in error, the mobile station transmits a NACK message back to the
base station. The NACK message results in retransmission of the data packet
received in error. The data packets can be transmitted out of sequence by the
use of sequence number to identify each data unit within the data packets.

Abstract: A control apparatus starts to generate an engaging torque (substantially similar
to STC) of an automatic clutch according to an engaging torque command value STC
before an engine torque TE starts to increase after an upshift of a transmission.
Meanwhile, the control apparatus increases the engine torque command value STE in
steps and increases the engine torque TE quickly. When the engine torque TE
exceeds a limit value TCG of the engaging torque, the control apparatus increases the
engaging torque command value STC in response to that engine torque TE. As a
result, a driving torque is generated from inertia of the engine before a time t 3  at which
time the engaging torque command value STC is larger than the engine torque TE,
and the driving torque is smoothly increased based on the inertia and the engine torque
TE after time t 3  at which time the engine torque TE increases.

Abstract: In a solid-oxide fuel cell assembly comprising a plurality of components having electrically-conductive mating surfaces therebetween, the surfaces are sealed by gasket elements that include first and second silver braze alloy layers and a dielectric layer, formed preferably of yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), disposed between the alloy layers. The alloy is capable of bonding to many ceramics, including YSZ, and is readily brazed to the oxide layer formed on many metals at elevated temperatures. Because the braze alloy is electrically conductive, a dielectric layer must be included to break conductivity in bonding applications where electrical insulation is required. YSZ functions as a reliable insulator and will not crystallize or fracture as do prior art glass insulators. The assembly is useful as an auxiliary power unit in a vehicle.

Abstract: A four-stroke engine (10) employs engine vibration for lubricating engine components. The
engine vibration induces a ripple in a surface portion of the oil in an oil reservoir (38), which
is located within a crankcase (26) of the engine (10). The oil ripple causes misting of the oil,
which lubricates exposed engine components. Providing a crankcase (26) wall thickness of
about 1.5 mm or less can increase the engine vibration. Alternatively, a clearance area (46)
located within the crankcase (26) can be decreased to facilitate contact of the oil surface ripple
with a counterweight, thereby splashing the oil onto exposed engine components. Vibration
of the engine (10) can be further increased by coupling a vibration plate or spring to a portion
of the crankcase (26).

Filed: 2004-06-01
Abstract: A device and method for the obtaining a tissue biopsy and the delivery of a material to provide hemostatis, therapeutic agents or marker material is described that can be used in conjunction with either an aspiration biopsy or a cutting needle biopsy device. The device has an application chamber through which the biopsy mechanism, either a cutting needle device or aspiration needle, passes through. The mechanism for an aspiration biopsy has a biopsy cannula of constant cross section over its entire length connected to an aspiration and collecting chamber and at least one application channel of constant or varying cross section connected to a dispensing chamber integrally connected with the aspiration chamber. The cutting biopsy mechanism has a mechanical or electromechanical mechanism to rapidly fire a stylet with a biopsy trough into the intended tissue and then fire a biopsy cannula over the stylet to sever and retain tissue that has protruded into the biopsy trough. At least one application channel is formed by a tube centrically slipped over the biopsy cannula wall. To enable the collection of tissue specimens, the distal segment of the application channel forms a close fitting and concentric sheath around the biopsy cannula. The biopsy cannula wall projects out of the tube with its acute-angularly designed cutting edge and the tube end encloses an obtuse angle with the biopsy cannula. The proximal end of the application channel has a larger diameter than the distal end allowing for unobstructed flow of the application material past the biopsy cannula wall upon retraction of the biopsy cannula from the distal segment of the application channel. The versatility of the invention permits its use in many applications, including, for example, liver biopsies, breast biopsies, laparoscopic surgery, and lymphadenectomy procedures.

Abstract: A pipeline microprocessor that distributes the
instruction dispatching function between a main
instruction dispatcher and dispatching logic within a
plurality of execution units is disclosed. If the main
instruction dispatcher requests load data from a data
cache that indicates the data is unavailable, the
instruction dispatcher provides to the appropriate
execution unit the load instruction (without the load
data), a tag (also known by the cache) uniquely
identifying the unavailable data, and a false data valid
indicator. The cache subsequently obtains the data and
outputs it on a bus along with the tag. The dispatching
logic in the execution unit is monitoring the bus looking
for a valid tag that matches tags of entries in its queue
with invalid data indicators. Upon a match, the
dispatching logic obtains the data from the bus and
subsequently dispatches the instruction along with the
data to a functional unit for execution.
