  • Patent number: 11078257
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel, recombinant Gram-negative bacteria. In particular, the invention provides recombinant Gram-negative bacteria (e.g., E. coli) lacking genes involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) biosynthesis (e.g., lacking genes required for core oligosaccharide biosynthesis) and also provides recombinant Gram-negative bacteria lacking genes involved in LPS biosynthesis that contain one or more exogenous KDO transferases and/or one or more exogenous heptosyltransferases (e.g., from one or more types and/or strains of bacteria). The invention further provides methods of generating and utilizing (e.g., as or in an immunogenic composition (e.g., as or in an adjuvant and/or vaccine)) the recombinant Gram-negative bacteria therapeutic, preventative, and/or research applications.

  • Patent number: 9438959
    Abstract: A method and system for watching video and playing games in a mobile communication device are described in which video content is received from a network television channel and, based on the orientation of the mobile communication device and the device type, the video content and/or a game may be displayed. When in a portrait orientation, the operating mode may be such that the video content and/or the game may be displayed. For a tablet device in a portrait orientation, for example, both the video content and the game may be displayed. When the mobile communication device is changed to a landscape orientation, the operating mode may be different and only one of the video content and the game may be displayed based on whether the mobile communication device was rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise. A rewards program may combine the video-watching and game-playing activities of the user.
