IPC: C12N15/861
Filed: 2016-06-23
Abstract: An adenoviral vector is disclosed comprising the genome of an adenovirus other than human adenovirus AdHu5 (Ad5, HadV-5) and chimpanzee adenovirus AdY25 (Y25) wherein the genome of the adenovirus has been modified such that the vector lacks the native early transcription E4 locus of the adenovirus and comprises heterologous E4-open reading frame 1 (E4Orf1), E4Orf2 and E4Orf3 coding regions from AdY25. Also disclosed are associated immunogenic compositions, polynucleotides, host cells, bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), packaging cell lines and kits. The adenoviral vector may further comprise heterologous E4Orf4, E4Orf6 and E4Orf6/7 coding regions from AdHu5 in the E4 locus of the adenovirus. Preferably, the adenoviral vector lacks a functional E1 and/or E3 locus and may comprise one or more capsid proteins including hexon, penton and fibre proteins. The adenoviral vector may further comprise an exogenous nucleotide sequence encoding an antigenic protein. Vaccine compositions comprising the vector may be used to treat and/or prevent diseases, such as malaria. Preferably, the vector is derived from chimpanzee adenovirus C68 (ChAd68, AdCh68, Pan6, sAd25) and is AdChOx2 (ChAdOx2).

Title: Multi-Rotor device with a polygonal structure, for harnessing sea currents
Inventor: AMABLE LÓPEZ PINEIRO
IPC: F03B17/06
Filed: 2015-02-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-rotor device with a polygonal structure, for harnessing sea currents, comprising an assembly of extractable generating units (1) and driving units or floats (2) supported by a main structure in the shape of a polygon and complemented by a stabilisation structure using lattices (20, 21) or guys (22), in the centre of which a central dome (7) can be arranged. The device is attached to the bottom by means of anchoring cables (10), the length of which can be regulated by means of winches (9). The driving units (2) have ballast tanks which change the drive and orientation of the device as they are filled or emptied. As a result of the combined action of ballasts and winches, the device rotates and orients itself autonomously when the tide changes, the rotors always operating with optimum orientation and depth according to the current.

Title: Multi-reflection mass spectrometer with deceleration stage
Inventor: STEWART HAMISH
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2016-11-04
Abstract: A multi-reflection mass spectrometer comprises: two ion mirrors 90 & 92 opposing each other in an X direction, each mirror elongated along an orthogonal drift direction Y; and an ion injector 94 for injecting ions 98 into the space between the ion mirrors. Along a first portion 90 & 92 of their length in the drift direction, the ion mirrors converge with a first degree of convergence which is greater than a second degree of convergence with which the mirrors converge along a second portion 90 & 92 of their length, the first portion being closer to the ion injector than the second portion. The mirrors may also extend parallel to one another in the second portion. An initial higher reduction of the post-injection drift velocity in the direction +Y by modifying the return pseudo-potential generated by the converging mirrors along an initial portion of length allows an increased number of oscillations in direction X through the second portion of length.

IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2015-05-29
Abstract: There is disclosed herein, by way of example, an enterprise server computing platform configured to provide stateless computing, wherein each node has no set configuration, including for example, MAC addresses, UUIDs, firmware, and BIOS by way of non-limiting example. Certain devices or peripherals may be considered "out-of-band," meaning that they are discoverable and configurable in standby power by a baseboard management controller (BMC) without need for an OS. Certain other peripherals are considered "in-band," meaning that they may need an OS for discovery and configuration. According to one or more example embodiments of this Specification, a system and method are disclosed for automatically discovering and configuring out-of-band devices on a server. Out-of-band devices may then be disabled, and the server is booted with minimal resources and a bootstrap OS to discover and configure in-band devices.
