Title: Broadly representative antigen sequences and method for selection
Inventor: SHIVER JOHN W
IPC: G16B30/10
Filed: 2008-03-26
Abstract: A novel method for generating vaccine sequences is disclosed herein that preserves contiguous epitope length stretches of amino acids or nucleotides from an input pool of sequences. The method generates continuous, stepwise epitope consensus that together provides for a single globally optimized sequence. The end sequences are designed to maximize overlap between any potential epitope length sequence extract from a natural antigen sequence. The disclosed method, thus, allows one to maximize the number of potential natural epitopes that are mimicked in a resultant vaccine sequence. Various representative HIV vaccine sequences have been generated and are disclosed herein.

Title: Start-up of high selectivity catalysts in olefin oxide plants
Inventor: CASTAGNOLA NORMA BEATRIZ
IPC: C07D301/03
Filed: 2008-05-07
Abstract: A method to achieve a controlled start-up temperature of an expoxidation process which exceeds the maximum achievable temperature of the epoxidation reactor relative to using an external heat source. The method of the present invention employs an oxidation reaction within the reactor to bring the tem perature of the reactor to a temperature that is suitable for conditioning a high selectivity catalyst. The method of the present invention includes fir st bringing a reactor including a high selectivity catalyst to a first tempe rature using the external heat source to the reactor, while staying within t he reactor design limitations and maintaining a gas flow to the reactor that is within 25 to 100 % of the design rates. Once the reactor has achieved th e first temperature, at least an olefin, e.g., ethylene, and then oxygen are introduced to the reactor feed gas. The olefin and oxygen concentrations ar e adjusted to have a heat of reaction that will allow raising the reactor ga s flow to 100% of design and then have sufficient heat of reaction to raise the reactor temperature to a second temperature which is greater than the fi rst temperature and greater than the temperature of the reactor achievable b y the external heat source.

Abstract: A sensor system for detecting a collision between first and second parts moving relative to each other. The sensor system comprises at least one sensor for detecting a collision between the first and second parts, the sensor comprising first and second elongate conductive elements and a non-conducting spacing element partially extending between the first and second elongate conductive elements to separate the conductive elements from each other and to define spaced, adjacent portions of the conductive elements. A signal transmitting wire is in communication with each elongate conductive element. A housing retains the sensor for mounting in a region between the first and second parts such that any collision between the parts will tend to deform the spaced, adjacent portions of the conductive elements into contact with each other at the point of collision to complete a circuit via the signal transmitting wires to indicate the collision has occurred. In a preferred arrangement the moving parts are part of a wood processing unit, and the signal is used to shutdown the unit to prevent damage. The sensor and sensory system described offer improved reliability as compared to previous designs.

Title: Method and apparatus for channel identification in a wireless communication system
Inventor: MEYLAN ARNAUD
IPC: H04W72/12
Filed: 2009-01-23
Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate classification and identification of a channel associated with a wireless data transmission. As described herein, a channel designated for transmission of a packet can be selected from among multiple usable channels, based on which a bit at a predefined location in the packet can be set to a logical value indicative of the selected channel. As further described herein, extraction of the logical value from the predefined location and identification of the corresponding channel can be performed by a recipient of the packet without requiring parsing of the message. In one example described herein, a Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH) can be identified by setting a Logical Channel Identifier (LCID) bit in a DCCH packet to a predefined value. In another example, a Common Control Channel (CCCH) can be identified by embedding a Boolean constant within a message structure contained in a CCCH packet.
