Title: Procede pour la creation dynamique de pages web en fonction des preferences de l'utilisateur
Inventor: KENNEDY ADRIAN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: Dans la technique actuelle, de multiples versions de sites Web, telles que des applications logicielles basées sur le Web, doivent être créées dans différentes langues, par exemple en français, en allemand et en anglais, ou avec des contenus/formats différents pour des utilisateurs ayant différentes préférences. Cette pratique est complexe, longue à réaliser et coûteuse et elle peut entraîner des erreurs, lors de la création de la version différente. Cette invention évite la nécessité de créer différentes versions de sites Web, en créant dynamiquement des pages Web écrites dans une langue ou un format requis et conformes à une préférence particulière d'un utilisateur. Les préférences culturelles de l'utilisateur sont détectées automatiquement, par exemple par analyse des valeurs locales dans les adresses URL ou dans des mouchards électroniques envoyés depuis le navigateur Web de l'utilisateur ou par analyse du nom de domaine de l'ordinateur client de l'utilisateur. Ces informations de préférences sont utilisées pour sélectionner un fichier de ressources parmi plusieurs fichiers de ressources, en utilisant un algorithme de sélection. Un fichier de ressources est produit pour chaque type de préférence dont on souhaite qu'il prenne en charge et contienne plusieurs chaînes de textes qui sont requises pour s'afficher dans le site Web. Une fois qu'un fichier de ressources a été sélectionné, il est utilisé pour créer dynamiquement une page Web qui est ensuite envoyée à l'ordinateur client. Une saisie manuelle des informations de préférences par l'utilisateur est également possible.

Title: Structure-based drug design methods for identifying d-ala-d-ala ligase inhibitors as antibacterial drugs
Inventor: ALI JANID A
IPC: C12N9/00
Filed: 2002-06-28
Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery that certain small molecules can bin d to the ATP binding site of D-Ala-D-Ala ligase, even in the absence of the enzyme's substrate, and can cause a conformational change in the enzyme structure similar to that which occurs upon binding of ATP and substrate to the enzyme. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that such a conformational change is required for either activation or inhibition of the enzyme. The information obtained from this discovery has enabled identification of key interactions in the active site of the enzyme, as well as the design and opimization of inhibitors.
