Patent CA-2611704-C (CA)
Inventor: ELLEAUME PHILIPPE
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2006-06-09
Granted: 2013-04-16
Abstract: The invention relates to the general field of complex electronic and/or computerized system architectures for which the interchanges take the form of irregular data flows prompted by processing functions of variable duration in time. The object of the invention is an architecture designed for electronic systems having a plurality of processing nodes in which each node provides a function or part of a function implemented by the system. This architecture is based on: - one single synchronization link which supplies all the modules with a common synchronization message containing synchronization information and a simplified header, - a plurality of asynchronous data interchange links, each link allowing message interchange between two specific processing nodes, with the interchanged messages having data to be processed, accompanied by a generic header.   The asynchronous links' generic header contains all the information relating to the system's operating step to which the interchanged data refer.   The synchronous link's simplified header makes it possible to determine the data stream to which the associated synchronization information applies. Each processing node has means suitable for interfacing with the synchronous and asynchronous links. The invention applies particularly to the design of electromagnetic or acoustic sensors, such as radars and sonars.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of reducing proinflammatory cytokines and/or inflammation, which may be useful for treating immunoproliferative disorders, such as NK-type lymphoproliferative disease of granular lymphocytes (LDGL), and methods of producing antibodies for use in therapeutic strategies for treating such disorders.  Generally, to date, therapies for treating immune disorders do not target the cells that are the underlying cause of the disorder, but, instead, target mediators of such disorders or modulate receptor function or expression. The present invention involves use of antibodies that specifically bind to a natural killer cell receptor (NKR) selected from KIR2DL1, KIR2DS1, KIR2DL2, KIR2DL3, KIR2DS4, CD94, NKG2C, NKG2E, NKG2F, NKp30, NKp44 or NKp46 and deplete a human NK cell expressing said NKR. The anti-NKR antibodies comprise an Fc region of a human IgG1 or human IgG3 isotype that binds to a CD16 Fc receptor, such that when the antibody is bound to the NKR on the natural killer (NK) cell, it causes the NK cell to be depleted thereby reducing proinflammatory cytokines and/or reducing inflammation.
