Abstract: A method for preventing simultaneous issuance of two multicast flows, comprising a process of ceasing the transmission of a multicast flow upon an internet protocol set-top box (IP STB) being switched on; the ceasing of the multicast flow transmission can be initiated by the IP STB or by communication entities on the network side. The method provided by the present invention prevents simultaneous issuance of two multicast flows and thus eliminates unfavorable consequences of simultaneous issuance of two multicast flows, including picture quality loss and even abnormal restart of an IP STB, therefore the user experiences will be improved and user satisfaction will be distinctively increased.

Abstract: A sensor system having an analyte modulator, detector and a pump. The concentration of an analyte sample may be modulated at one time constant. The detector may have an output with a drift at another time constant. The one time constant may be shorter than the latter time constant. The latter time constant may be substantially removed from the detector output with a discriminator. A reservoir may receive high concentrations of analyte from the modulator, before analyte is forwarded to the detector and pump via analyte conveyance lines and valving. The modulation or pre-concentration of analyte in the sensor system may entail shorter times and smaller volumes than those needed by the detector. Such mismatches may be alleviated via accumulation of analyte in the reservoir prior to being forwarded to the detector.

Abstract: T cell responses are often diminished in humans with a compromised immune system. We have developed a method to isolate, stimulate and expand naïve cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors (CTLp) to antigen-specific effectors, capable of lysing tumor cells in vivo. This ex vivo protocol produces fully functional effectors. Artificial antigen presenting cells (AAPCs; e.g. from Drosophila melanogaster) transfected with multiple human HLA class I cancer antigens and defined accessory molecules, are used to stimulate CD8+ T cells from both normal donors and cancer patients. The class I molecules expressed to a high density on the surface of the Drosophila cells are empty, allowing for efficient loading of multiple peptides that results in the generation of polyclonal responses recognizing tumor cells endogenously expressing the specific peptides. The responses generated are robust, antigen-specific and reproducible if the peptide epitope is a defined immunogen. This artificial antigen expression system can be adapted to treat most cancers in a significant majority of the population.
