  • Patent number: 6558677
    Abstract: A mucosal vaccine for Neisseria based on native outer membrane vesicles (NOMV) prepared from genetically engineered vaccine strain and unexposed to detergents is described. Methods for extending this vaccine approach to other Gram negative bacteria are also decribed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 1996
    Date of Patent: May 6, 2003

  • Patent number: 6366941
    Abstract: An implementation of a multi-dimensional galois field multiplier and a method of galois field multi-dimensional multiplication which are able to support many communication standards having various symbol sizes(16), different GFs(14), and different primitive polynomials(12), in a cost-efficient manner is disclosed. The key to allow a single implementation to perform for all different GF sizes is to shift the one of the two operands(16) and primitive polynomial(12) to the left and to shift the intermediate output ZO(28) to the right in dependence upon the relative size of the GF(14) as compared to the size of the operand, primitive polynomial or intermediate output, whichever is being shifted. The shifting of the above-mentioned signals allows the MULT-XOR arrays(26) to operate on all fields with the exact same hardware with a minimum delay of 2 gates per block or with a critical delay of 2 XOR gates.
