  • Patent number: 7533379
    Abstract: Incremental application deployment allows any files under development for an application to be modified directly in place, such as on a server disk. Application and module configuration information can be collected from a user as they build their application. Each time a developer modifies the configuration of the application, changes can be immediately deployed to the server in the background, including appropriate modifications to the deployment descriptors. Once modifications are completed, the application can have already been deployed to the server.

  • Patent number: 7431929
    Abstract: The present invention relates to vaccines having an increased level of safety comprising recombinant vaccinia viruses containing an inactivated E3L region. The invention also relates to methods for stimulating a protective immune response in an immunized host using the vaccines of the invention. The invention is based on the discovery that vaccinia virus mutants having deletions in the E3L region exhibit dramatically reduced pathogenesis while remaining highly immunogenic. In addition, the invention relates to modified recombinant vaccinia viruses engineered to express heterologous polypeptides and the use of such viruses in vaccines designed to stimulate a protective immune response against such polypeptides in a host. The invention further relates to an interferon-sensitive recombinant vaccinia virus with broad host range wherein a salamander eIF2? is inserted into the viral genome in place of at least a portion of the E3L gene.

  • Patent number: 6641951
    Abstract: A battery system for battery powered vehicles which utilize valve-regulated, lead-acid cells, each cell being of the type that includes multiple positive and negative plates with separators therebetween assembled in a separate casing having exterior terminals outside the casing whereby the cells may be electrically interconnected. The flexible walls of the cells bulge outwardly when initially filled with electrolyte and uncompressed. The system includes a battery housing having at least one restraint extending horizontally between and attached to the side walls of the housing for preventing the bowing thereof, the restraint dividing the housing into at least two sections.

  • Patent number: 6158586
    Abstract: There is provided a tightening arrangement in a paperboard wrap for articles such as bottles 11. In the region of the side/base junction there is provided a number of hinge panels 25 which remain hingedly connected to the wrap. The hinge panels 25 are folded out of alignment with the wrap such that a first part 26 lies in use against the adjacent base panel below a heel part 16 of one of the bottles 11. The hinge connection of the hinge panels 25 provides a firm area for engagement by the substantially straight, continuous edge provided by a series of engaging members 52 mounted on an endless chain.
