IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2005-01-19
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for controlling the flow of a dialog within a spoken dialog service dialog management module. The method uses a dialog disambiguation rooted tree, the rooted tree having a root node, nodes descending from the root nodes organized in categories and leaf nodes. The method comprises gathering input from a user to match with at least one node and node condition, wherein a first prompt from the dialog manager relates to a focus root node, lighting at least one relevant node according to the received user input, generalizing by attempting to select a new focus node further from a current focus node by: (1) assigning a node as a new focus node if it is the only lit direct descendent of a focus node after the lighting step; and (2) assigning a lowest common ancestor node as a new focus node if there are multiple descendent nodes that are lit and the step of assigning a new node a new focus if it is the only lit direct descendent does not apply. This method enables improved disambiguation of user intent in a spoken dialog service.

Title: Adenovirus serotype 34 vectors, nucleic acids and virus produced thereby
Inventor: CASIMIRO DANILO R
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2003-08-21
Abstract: Adenoviral serotypes differ in their natural tropism. The various serotypes of adenovirus have been found to differ in at least their capsid proteins (e.g., penton-base and hexon proteins), proteins responsible for cell binding (e.g, fiber proteins), and proteins involved in adenovirus replication. This difference in tropism and capsid proteins among serotypes has led to the many research efforts aimed at redirecting the adenovirus tropism by modification of the capsid proteins. The present invention bypasses such requirement for capsid protein modification as it presents a recombinant, replication-defective adenovirus of serotype 34, a rare adenoviral serotype, and methods for generating the alternative, recombinant adenovirus. Additionally, means of employing the recombinant adenovirus for the delivery and expression of exogenous genes are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an alternation disposal method for network selection information of user terminal in WLAN. The method includes the following steps:  the network or the user terminal initiates accessing authentication after WLAN  User Terminal building wireless connection with WLAN Access Network, VVLAN  Access Network sends a message of requesting user name to the user terminal.  After received the message of requesting user name, the user terminal returns a message of network selection information to WLAN Access Network. The network judges whether the network selection information of the received message belongs to the currently mobile communication operation network connected by WLAN. If so, then the network sends accessing authentication request of the said WLAN User Terminal to the mobile communication operation network identified by network selection information, otherwise the network sends notify signal to the said WLAN User Terminal, and WLAN User Terminal finishes the rear operation according to the content of notify signal. The invention enables user terminal to select appropriate mobile communication operation network to access based on need when accessing from a WLAN connected with many mobile communication operation networks.
