Title: Pestivirus replicons providing an rna-based viral vector system
Inventor: TRATSCHIN JON DURI
IPC: C07K14/18
Filed: 2009-05-30
Abstract: The present invention concerns replicons of pestiviruses, in particu-lar replicons of swine fever virus, engineered to have a defective replication there-by having lost infectivity, and further containing a foreign gene. A  replicon of the invention contains all the genetic information required for its replication, but lacks essential codons or all codons of at least one of the genes encoding the viral struc-tural proteins E1, E2, E ms or C protein, and consequently cannot generate infec-tious virus particles. Particular replicons are generated with a mutated gene encod-ing a modified N pro protein that no longer controls the cell interferon-induction pathway. Another particular replicon lacks the genes encoding all the structural proteins, the p7 protein and the NS2 protein, and has cytopathogenic properties in transduced cells. The replicons of the invention provide a new vector system that can be used for vaccination, gene delivery and gene therapy applications in mam-mals, including humans, as naked RNA or packaged into any form of delivery ve-hicle.

Title: Energy reducing retrofit method and apparatus for a constant volume hvac system
Inventor: MILLER DANNY
IPC: B01F23/10
Filed: 2010-08-17
Abstract: An energy-reducing method and apparatus for retrofitting a constant volume BVAC system, with or without an economizer, that provide heating, cooling, and ventilation to occupants within a building space. The present invention includes the introduction of a programmable logic controller and variable frequency drive (VFD) that takes control of the existing fan, heating, cooling, and optional economizer operation. The controller is programmed for the reduction of fan speed in the heating and cooling modes. The reduction of the fan speed in the ventilation mode when the 100% operation is not needed saves significant energy of the existing constant volume BVAC system where the fan motor is designed to run 100% of the time. The fan speed may be further reduced upon a reduction in sensed occupancy levels of the s ace such as with a CO2 sensor. Additionally the fan speed may be reduce energy consumption.
