Title: Internet video surveillance camera system and method
Inventor: BLACK DAVID
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2002-06-13
Abstract: The invention consists of a system and method for transferring video images from video sources to video receivers using a video server as an intermediary. The video server creates a list of all the requests from the video receivers for a video image from a video source. The video server requests the video image from the video source and then sends the video image to each video receiver on the list.

Title: Surfactant protein d for the prevention and diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema
Inventor: WHITSETT JEFFREY A
IPC: C07K14/47
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a 43-kDa member of the collectin family of collagenous lectin domain-containing proteins that is expressed in epithelial cells of the lung. The SP-D gene was targeted by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells that were used to produce SP-D (-/-) mice. The SP-D (-/-) deficiency caused inflammation, increased oxidant production by isolated alveolar macrophages, abnormal surfactant structure and levels, and decreased SP-A expression. Therefore, disclosed is the SP-D (-/-) mouse as an excellent model for emphysema. Also included are models for testing emphysema therapies in the mouse model, methods for using SP-D protein or DNA as a treatment for emphysema and pulmonary infections, and diagnosis.
