  • Publication number: 20240400649
    Abstract: A modified Ac-TMP-2 protein lacks one or a plurality of acidic C-terminal amino acids normally present in a full-length or wild-type Ac-TMP-2 protein and may also lack one or a plurality of N-terminal amino acids while retaining the amino acid sequence C-S-C at or near the N-terminus. The modified Ac-TMP-2 protein may be useful in method and composition for reducing or alleviating inflammation in a subject. Inflammation may be associated with a disease is a disease of the digestive tract such as chronic gastritis or an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, or a disease of the respiratory system, such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

  • Publication number: 20240305502
    Abstract: As a part of a networking system, a Smart Network Interface Card (NIC)/Data Processing Unit (DPU) translation agent can be implemented by a device within a Smart NIC/DPU. The Smart NIC/DPU translation agent translates operation requests associated with a vendor-neutral API method into a vendor-specific API method, e.g., to communicate with vendor-specific firmware. The agent comprises an orchestration unit for detecting an operation request from an external entity having vendor-neutral API; and translating the operation request based upon a fabric data model; a configuration service unit for generating management commands based on the modified operation request; and a proxy service unit for receiving and translating the configuration commands to communicate with vendor-specific firmware using the vendor-specific API method.

  • Patent number: 10822395
    Abstract: A modified Ac-TMP-2 protein lacks one or a plurality of acidic C-terminal amino acids normally present in a full-length or wild-type Ac-TMP-2 protein and may also lack one or a plurality of N-terminal amino acids while retaining the amino acid sequence C—S—C at or near the N-terminus. The modified Ac-TMP-2 protein may be useful in method and composition for reducing or alleviating inflammation in a subject. Inflammation may be associated with a disease is a disease of the digestive tract such as chronic gastritis or an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, or a disease of the respiratory system, such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
