Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: A system and method for enabling implementation-transparent caching of reusable objects in an application program using a language, which may be a page description language, with defined operators is described. A default operator from the language, which supports a set of default caching operations is selected. A set of additional caching operations for use in a specific caching implementation is created. The set of additional caching operations is associated with the defined operator. A key for selecting between the set of default caching operations and the set of additional caching operations is also defined. When the application program is executed, the application program automatically selects the set of default caching operations or the set of additional caching operations based on the value of the key.

Title: Induction of antigen-specific unresponsiveness by glioblastoma culture supernatants (gcs)
Inventor: CHOUGNET CLAIRE
IPC: A61K35/28
Filed: 2000-03-23
Abstract: The present invention concerns methods of specifically inhibiting an immune response of a subject to one or more selected antigens using an immunosuppressive composition derived from a glioblastoma cell line. The method steps include obtaining a population of antigen presenting cells (APCs); loading the APC population with specific antigens (in auto-immune diseases) or using donor APCs (for transplantation); incubating the APC population with the immunosuppressive composition; and introducing the incubated cells into the subject being treated. The APCs can be monocytes, macrophages, or dendritic cells. This method causes specific inhibition of t he immune response because it induces apoptosis and/or anergy in the subject's T cells specific for antigens present on the APCs, but does not affect the immune response to antigens not present on the APC surfaces. One particular embodiment of the present method is the specific inhibition of a transplant recipient's immune reaction to antigens present on the allogenic graft. A second particular embodiment of the present method is the specific inhibitio n of the immune response to an autoantigenic protein by a subject suffering fr om an autoimmune disease.

Title: Method and system for managing forwarding tables
Inventor: JAIN SANJAY
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2000-07-26
Abstract: A system and a method for managing forwarding table lookups and updates involve maintaining a first forwarding table in a first memory and a second forwarding table in a second memory, and then utilizing the first forwarding  table to forward packets while the second forwarding table is updated with current route entries. The second forwarding table is updated in the background and therefore conventional CPU speeds do not cause performance problems. Once the second forwarding table is completely updated, a forwardi ng table pointer is switched and the second forwarding table is utilized to forward packets while the first forwarding table is updated. Because the second forwarding table has been completely updated in the background, switching the forwarding table pointer causes newly arriving packets to be forwarded according to a forwarding table that is free of inconsistencies.</ SDOAB>

Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'améliorer la diffusion de rayonnements à travers une barrière qui peut être rencontrée lors d'opérations thérapeutiques au laser, notamment lorsque l'objectif du traitement est de produire des dommages ou des modifications par voie thermique sur des constituants de tissus profonds, sans détruire ni altérer la barrière sus-jacente. Afin d'atteindre cet objectif, un fluide biocompatible est administré au tissu avant l'opération. Ce fluide biocompatible est un fluide de diffusion de lumière qui va principalement diffuser de la lumière sur le site souhaité, permettant un chauffage plus uniforme et amélioré sur une zone de traitement relativement grande. De plus, un second fluide, un fluide de dispersion, peut être ajouté au tissu, afin de permettre la distribution du fluide de diffusion de lumière à travers le site de traitement. Des rayonnements laser sont ensuite administrés, à travers des micropores créés, par exemple, par un dispositif tel qu'une pièce à micro-aiguilles, dans le site de traitement. La pièce à micro-aiguilles utilisée pour délivrer le fluide et les rayonnements peut être une pièce unique assurant les deux fonctions ou une pièce distincte pour chaque fonction.
