  • Publication number: 20150361397
    Abstract: The current invention concerns the use of PIP or S100A8 for the generation of regulatory T cells. The current invention provides a method of generating regulatory T cells by contacting immature DC with PIP or S100A8 to produce tolerogenic DC and further contacting naïve T cells to the tolerogenic DC to produce regulatory T cells. The invention also concerns PIP protein where immature DC contacted with PIP produce tolerogenic DC that induce conversion of naïve T-cells into regulatory T cells. The invention also concerns S100A8 protein where immature DC contacted with S100A8 produce tolerogenic DC that induce conversion of naïve T-cells into regulatory T cells. The invention also provides methods for identification of factors secreted by iNKT cells that induce conversion of immature DC into tolerogenic DC. The subject invention also concerns using regulatory T cells for treatment and/or management of cancer or the diseases of the immune system.

  • Patent number: 8684293
    Abstract: Apparatus, system and methods of using the apparatus and system to manipulate fiber(s) into a chopper, winder or other fiber(s) processing equipment. By using the apparatus the operator(s) are freed up for pressing duties that will increase productivity and also create a safer workplace. The apparatus supports and constrains slowly or rapidly running fiber(s) and moves through a sequence of movements that reposition the fiber(s) into a path that places the running fiber(s) in the proper location for processing in the chopper, winder or other processing equipment and also places the running fiber(s) into a desired groove or valley on a separator roll or guide.

  • Publication number: 20100052715
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a high density test probe which provides a means for testing a high density and high performance integrated circuits in wafer form or as discrete chips. The test probe is formed from a dense array of elongated electrical conductors which are embedded in an compliant or high modulus elastomeric material. A standard packaging substrate, such as a ceramic integrated circuit chip packaging substrate is used to provide a space transformer. Wires are bonded to an array of contact pads on the surface of the space transformer. The space transformer formed from a multilayer integrated circuit chip packaging substrate. The wires are as dense as the contact location array. A mold is disposed surrounding the array of outwardly projecting wires. A liquid elastomer is disposed in the mold to fill the spaces between the wires.
