  • Publication number: 20150313927
    Abstract: Foods or meals high in available carbohydrate such as sucrose or starch increase postprandial blood glucose concentrations. Repeated high post-prandial plasma glucose “spikes” are associated with an increased risk of developing type II diabetes. Unregulated glycemic excursions are undesirable, and any reduction or “blunting” of the post-prandial glucose concentration in blood is potentially beneficial. This invention relates to an edible composition for delay of intestinal glucose uptake through synergistic inhibition of both active sodium glucose co-transporter 1 (SGLT1) and passive glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) leading to flattening or blunting of the post-prandial glucose peak.

  • Patent number: 9178154
    Abstract: Quantum processor architectures employ unit cells tiled over an area. A unit cell may include first and second sets of qubits where each qubit in the first set crosses at least one qubit in the second set. Each unit cell is positioned proximally adjacent at least one other unit cell. Within each unit cell, at least one qubit is longitudinally shifted with respect to at least one other qubit such that the longitudinally-shifted qubit crosses at least one qubit in a proximally adjacent unit cell. Communicative coupling between qubits is realized through respective intra-cell and inter-cell coupling devices. The longitudinal shifting of qubits and resultant crossing of qubits in proximally adjacent unit cells enables quantum processor architectures that can be better suited to solve certain problems.

  • Patent number: 9175073
    Abstract: The inventors discovered that the adhesion molecule CAR, known to be localized in intracellular adhesion sites, functioned as an adhesion molecule for activated lymphocytes. Further, the inventors identified CARL, a novel CAR ligand expressed in lymphocytes, and clarified that the ligand was expressed selectively in Th1 cells. In addition, they found that anti-CAR antibodies could inhibit the adhesion of activated lymphocytes to CAR molecules. Thus, the present invention provides methods for detecting Th1 cells using CAR or anti-CARL antibodies, and methods of screening for inhibitors suppressing the adhesion of Th1 cells using the binding between CAR and CARL as an index. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods of screening for inhibitors of the binding between CAR and CARL, antibodies that inhibit the binding between CAR and CARL, and therapeutic compositions comprising these antibodies.
