  • Patent number: 7225240
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for decoupling functional processes, such as network protocol applications and device drivers, from hardware resources through the use of logical resources. Logical resources are created to represent the hardware resources within a computer system and a map is created which associates each logical resource with each hardware resource. Functional processes are associated with the logical resources instead of with the hardware resources such that a functional process may be moved to a different hardware resource simply by changing the map to associate the logical resource associated with the functional process with a different hardware resource.

  • Publication number: 20060286094
    Abstract: Hapten-carrier conjugates capable of eliciting anti-hapten antibodies in vivo by administering, in a therapeutic composition, are disclosed. Methods of preparing said conjugates and therapeutic compositions are also disclosed. Where the hapten is a drug of abuse, a therapeutic composition containing the hapten-carrier conjugate is particularly useful in the treatment of drug addiction, more particularly, cocaine addiction. Passive immunization using antibodies raised against conjugates of the instant invention is also disclosed. The therapeutic composition is suitable for co-therapy with other conventional drugs.
