  • Patent number: 8993620
    Abstract: Cinnamic acid-based oligomers and therapeutic uses thereof are provided. The oligomers are used as anti-inflammation agents, inhibitors of elastase and anti-oxidants, and in some cases (e.g. the treatment of lung disorders such as lung cancer) all three activities are simultaneously beneficial. Subsets of the oligomers (e.g. ?-O4 and ?-5 trimers and tetramers) are used as anticoagulants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 31, 2015
    Assignee: Virginia Commonwealth University
    Inventors: Umesh R. Desai, Brian L. Henry, Aiye Liang, Jay Thakkar, John B. Mangrum, Ivo Torres Filho, Bruce D. Spiess, Masahiro Sakagami, Bhawana Saluja

  • Patent number: 7761578
    Abstract: A computer system and method for communicating in a virtual environment. The computer system may include a first partition and a virtual service client implemented at a first position in the first partition. The computer system may also include a second partition, and a virtual service provider implemented at a second position in the second partition. The first partition and the second partition may be in operative communication via the virtual service client and the virtual service provider. The first position and the second position may enable the virtual service client and the virtual service provider to reduce processing overhead associated with communicating in the virtual environment by eliminating a processing step, a buffer copy, a software interrupt, and/or a context switch.

  • Publication number: 20040046787
    Abstract: A system and method for screen connector design, configuration, and runtime access. Embodiments modify a rudimentary host application screen recording prior to runtime to better identify host screens of a host application during runtime use. Embodiments of a screen connector runtime engine allow communication and access to a host application. Embodiments screen connector recordings are designed by embodiments of a screen connector designer, which allows for customization of the rudimentary application screen recordings based upon user input. Issues are addressed related to navigation between and identification of tables. Embodiments for screen task design allow for authoring of executable tasks.
