  • Identification of anti-HIV compounds inhibiting virus assembly and binding of nucleocapsid protein to nucleic acid
    Patent number: 7572828
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting viral replication, particularly retroviral replication. The methods comprise administration of stibonic acid or diphenyl compounds that disrupt viral nucleocapsid binding to nucleic acids.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 8, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2009
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services

  • Method and apparatus for detecting surveillance devices
    Publication number: 20060144170
    Abstract: An integrated sweep kit provides for the detection and location of covert electronic eavesdropping devices of both the radiating type (ie. transmitting electromagnetic energy) and the non-radiating type (ie. not transmitting electromagnetic energy). The kit includes at least one non-radiating device sensor for actively transmitting a detection signal, which detection signal is adapted to trigger a response from a normally non-radiating device; and at least one radiating device sensor for passively receiving a signal generated by a radiating device. A synchronization means is used for consecutively activating operation of the non-radiating device sensor and the radiating device sensor during sequential time slots so that the sensors do not interfere with one another.
