Abstract: Provided are techniques for the establishing device connectivity via a virtual based pictorial or graphical format. A users is presented with visual connection options to various devices so that the user can determine what devices are available and to select and customize options for selected devices. With the presentation of dynamic live streaming device connectivity visualizations via augmented reality, a user can make educated and real time decisions concerning potential connection. The provided device connectivity visualization is applicable to currently available devices such as, but not limited to, augmented reality (AR) in glasses and any portable device such as a smart telephone or tablet computing device. Device connectivity is mapped and displayed on a user's device. The use is then able to connect to a remote device using voice commands or by selecting the remote device on the portable device. The claimed subject matter supports simultaneous connectivity of multiple devices.

Abstract: In sub-Saharan Africa, the vast majority of HIV transmission occurs through heterosexual contact, therefore, the initial site of HIV infection occurs within the genital tract. In a cohort of HIV-highly exposed sex workers we have identified a select group of individuals who epidemiologically and clinically appear to be HIV-resistant. Studies of these women indicate a strong correlation of HIV-specific immune responses within the genital tract to protection from infection. We hypothesized that a characteristic immune phenotype is present within the genital tract of the HIV-resistant women when compared to susceptible controls. To test this we used SELDI-TOF mass spectrometry to profile the proteome of genital tract secretions from the HIV-resistant women and found a number of potential biomarkers (differentially expressed proteins) which correlated to HIV-resistance. Purification and tandem mass spectrometry resulted in the identification of a particular biomarker, namely trappin-2 (elafin).

Abstract: The present invention describes ways to identify HLA allele-specific epitopes that result from HLA restriction of antigen-specific cellular immune responses. The invention employs a combination of bioinformatics and functional assays to systematically identify and classify CTL mutations to determine correlates of virus-host interactions Peptides representing HLA allele-specific epitopes are provided as well as methods for validating HLA-restricted epitopes and methods for measuring T cell responses.
