Patent number: 10127026Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for converting computer program source code from a first high level language to a functionally equivalent second high level language different from the first high level language. Source code in a first high level language is analyzed. In response to identifying a derived class in the source code in and determining that the derived class includes more than one base class that includes state information, new source code in the second high level language is generated that includes a class with fields for only one of the base classes that includes state information, separate interfaces in the second high level language that correspond to each base class of the more than one base class other than the one of the base classes that includes state information, and a derived class that corresponds to the derived class in the first high level language. The derived class implements the separate interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Petr Andreevich Kudriavtsev, Vladimir Viktorovich Voskresenskii

Patent number: 9921828Abstract: Techniques for merging versions of an inclusion application that is incorporated in a master application are disclosed. One version of an application may be stored as an application that is incorporated into another application. An application that is incorporated into another application may be referred to as an “inclusion application.” An application incorporating another application may be referred to as a “master application.” Additionally, a different version of the application may be stored as an application that is executed independently, without reference to other applications. A merging engine applies a set of conflict resolution rules to the two versions of the application to obtain a merged version of the application. The merging engine incorporates the merged version of the application in the master application.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Andrew Barry, Davin Fifield

Patent number: 5418135Abstract: Disclosed are polypeptides which antagonize the activity of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). These polypeptides include an amino acid sequence sufficiently duplicative of at least a portion of the amino acid sequence of an A chain of PDGF such that the polypeptides bind a cell membrane-bound receptor for native PDGF on a cell that responds biologically to the binding of PDGF. The binding of the antagonist to the receptor is effective to inhibit PDGF binding and activity. Also disclosed are methods of preparing and using these antagonists.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1993Date of Patent: May 23, 1995Assignee: Creative BioMolecules, Inc.Inventor: Roy H. L. Pang

Patent number: 5415874Abstract: Lymphocytes of NK phenotype were cultured with stimulator cell lines in the presence of growth factor containing medium. The resulting lines and clones derived from these lines expressed CD16 and/or Leu 19, but lacked detectable CD3 or T cell receptor .gamma./.delta. complexes on the cell surface. In addition to displaying potent cytolytic activity against K562 erythroleukemia cells (a classical NK target), the vast majority of these lines and clones lysed their specific stimulator cell lines to a significantly greater extent than irrelevant cell lines. These results indicate that some CD3- lymphocytes, phenotypically indistinguishable from NK cells, can recognize and lyse allogeneic targets in a specific manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1989Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Jeffrey R. Bender, Ruggero Pardi, Edgar G. Engleman
