Patent DE-60029304-D1 (DE)
Inventor: TAYLOR W
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-01-21
Granted: 2006-08-24
Abstract: The invention encompasses a method of down-regulating a T cell-mediated immune response, through activation or T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation of antigen-primed T cells in the presence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), which may be optionally enhanced by adding transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGF-beta2) approximately 4-6 hours after the start of the primed T cells' exposure to alpha-MSH. Activation of the primed T cells may be mediated by presentation of the specific antigen to the primed T cells, or by an anti-TCR antibody or a T cell mitogen. As a result of the alpha-MSH treatment modulating the T cell activation, antigen-specific, regulatory, CD 4 +/CD 25 + T cells are generated that produce transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and can non-specifically down-regulate Th 1 -mediated inflammatory activities. The method may be used to down-regulate or suppress an autoimmune condition or a graft rejection in a transplant patient. The invention also encompasses a kit for generating regulatory T cell comprising a specific antigen, alpha-MSH, and optionally, TGF-beta2 and/or a T cell culture medium. Also provided are gene therapy treatments for suppressing an autoimmune or graft rejection response, or for re-establishing autotolerance, by introducing genetic material (e.g. nucleic acid) for expressing alpha-MSH or a receptor-binding portion thereof, into a localized tissue site.

Abstract: A pole, such as for a parking meter, that is reinforced by a hardening compound applied to its surface, preferably in vertical strips, to prevent theft, and a method of anchoring the pole or other upright object. The hardening compound is preferably a solder that is applied to the external surface of the pole by welding. Once it cools, this hardening compound cannot be cut with an ordinary hacksaw. For esthetic purposes, and to prevent rust to the pole, a PVC pipe with a slightly greater diameter than the pole is placed over and around the pole. In a preferred embodiment, the pole is welded to a base plate, with hollow metal cylinders welded to and extending from an opposite surface of the plate. Holes are drilled (or otherwise formed) in a concrete (or other solid) surface, epoxy is inserted into the holes, the metal cylinders are inserted into the holes, and when the epoxy hardens the cylinders and base plate are bonded to the concrete. The base plate and cylinders can also be used to anchor other upright objects to a concrete surface. In the preferred embodiment, circular transverse holes are made in the top of the pole using a plasma cutter, and expander jaws are then welded to the interior of the pole, to securely attach the head of the parking meter to the pole.

Abstract: Recovering mirrored data after the failure of a computer using write requests stored in a delta queue of an associated computer without transmitting all of the mirrored data. A write request at a primary computer is stored in a delay buffer. A copy of the write request is transmitted to a backup computer and stored in a delta queue. The backup computer executes the copy of the write request and transmits acknowledgement of the receipt of the write request to the primary computer. In response to the acknowledgement, the primary computer executes the write request stored in the delay buffer. The computers then exchange subsequent acknowledgements of the write request execution, enabling the computers to delete the write requests. If the primary computer fails, the primary computer recovers data by receiving only the copies of write requests that remain stored in the delta queue of the backup computer.

Abstract: Requests are processed to transmit data packets upstream from a cable modem to a cable headend in a manner that minimizes the use of CPU operations and/or memory capacity. Data packets to be transmitted upstream are stored at the cable modem. The data packets each have a given transmission data byte length value. Burst profiles are received successively at the cable modem. Each time a new burst profile is received, a set of physical data length values corresponding to respective transmission data byte length values is calculated from the parameters of the received burst profile. The calculated set of physical data length values is stored in memory so the individual values can be retrieved from the transmi ssion data byte length values again and again, rather than being re-calculated each time a conversion is made from transmission data byte length values to physical data length values. The same set of physical data length values is used until a new burst profile is received by the cable modem.

Abstract: The read latency caused by job start preparation of a future job is at least partly hidden within the current job by reading information for job start preparation of the future job integrated with the execution of the current job. Instructions for job start preparation are preferably instrumented (701) into the current job and executed (702), whenever possible, in parallel with the instructions of the current job. The integrated job start preparation may include table look-ups, register file updating, instruction fetching and preparation. If the scheduled job order is allowed to change during execution, it is typically necessary to test (703) whether the next job is still valid before starting the execution, it is typically necessary to test (703) whether the next job is still valid before starting the execution of the next job and take appropriate actions (704; 705, 706) depending on the outcome of the test. In addition to reduced job start preparation time, unused slots in the instruction-parallel execution of the current job may be filled up by the added read instructions, thus providing more efficient utilization of the multiple functional execution units of the processor.
