6939546, Sep 6, 2005

Filed:

Jan 26, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/013077

Inventors:

Jeffrey Nauss - San Diego CA, US
Robert Reid - Fairfield PA, US
Marcia Kay Wolf - Silver Spring MD, US

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army - Washington DC

International Classification:

A61K039/00
G01N033/543

US Classification:

4241841, 4241851, 514 13, 514 14

Abstract:

Assay methods for determining whether a peptide is likely to be immunogenic are based on a computer modeling of binding to a Class II MHC DR1 receptor. This is confirmed by competitive inhibition binding assays. The peptides are useful for eliciting an immune response for vaccination or the production of antibodies or T-cells.

Filed:

Feb 12, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/674015

Inventors:

Bradley James Witteman - La Jolla CA, US
Robert Reid - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

H04B 7/216

US Classification:

370342

Abstract:

This specification describes technologies relating to a phone-based system for identifying broadcast audio streams, and methods of providing such a system. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of broadcast streams, each from a corresponding broadcast source and generating a first broadcast audio identifier based on a first broadcast stream of the plurality of broadcast streams. The method also includes storing for a selected temporary period of time the first broadcast audio identifier. The method further includes receiving a user-initiated telephone connection; and generating a user audio identifier. Other implementations of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products.

US Classification:

725 34, 725 35, 725135

Abstract:

This specification describes technologies relating to a phone-based system for targeted advertisement delivery by identifying broadcast audio advertisements, and methods of providing such a system. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a user-initiated telephone connection that includes an audio sample of an advertisement from a broadcast source, and identifying the audio advertisement sample. The method also includes retrieving a metadata associated with the identified audio advertisement sample, obtaining a targeted advertisement information that most closely corresponds to the retrieved metadata. The method further includes transmitting a message including the targeted advertisement information. Other implementations of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products.

Appl. No.:

12/002238

Inventors:

Robert Jackson Reid - San Diego CA, US

International Classification:

F02B 53/00

US Classification:

123200

Abstract:

This rotary engine configuration combines the four cycles required to produce power, thrust, exhaust, intake, and compression which are merged into a single cycle per revolution. Most engine designs need two revolutions. This requires the mechanical functions to produce power simultaneously; consequently, the parts are performing several functions at the same time. So, only a few parts are needed. The rotor is the big worker. Combustion turns the rotor power cog one way, while the exhaust gases go the opposite way to escape through an opening directly behind the power producing face, into the open air. In this concept, where many power generating functions are going on at the same time, only a few moving parts are needed. Fewer parts used translate into the many benefits described in the claims. An exhaust gas fan reduces the exhaust gas exit pressure further maximizing fuel economy. A kit of energy storing rings is provided. These rings can also provide pitch and roll stabilization forces for the vehicle.

US Classification:

435 912

Abstract:

Thermophilic Strand Displacement Amplification (tSDA) for amplification of nucleic acid target sequences in situ in cells in suspension, on slides or in tissues is described. Excellent specimen morphology is preserved, and either DNA targets, RNA targets, or both may be selectively amplified. In situ amplification by tSDA is compatible with immunochemical techniques, so that both amplification of target sequences and immunological staining can be performed on the same specimen.
