Publication number: 20080133682Abstract: Email senders may transmit emails over the internet to a mail server that handles emails for a plurality of users (clients). The mail server may use a spam filter to remove the spam and then transmit the filtered emails to the addressed clients. The spam filter may use a white list, black list, probability filter and keyword filter. The probability filter may use a user mail corpus and a user spam corpus for creating a user probability table that lists tokens and the probability that an email is a spam if the email contains the token. The probability filter may also use a general mail corpus and a general spam corpus for creating a general probability table that. Tokens of incoming emails may be searched for in the user probability table, and if not found, the general probability table to calculate the probability that the email is a spam.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2007Publication date: June 5, 2008Applicant: THE GO DADDY GROUP, INC.Inventors: Michael Christopher Chadwick, Adam Thomas Sink, Blake Schwendiman

Publication number: 20060155118Abstract: This invention pertains to the use of a novel set of tags for the immobilization and/or purification of proteins or other biological or organic molecules. The invention provides troponin C, troponin C binding peptide, and troponin I, or active fragments or analogues thereof as convenient tags and affinity ligands for immobilizing, attaching, or purifying proteins or other molecules. Methods for producing troponin-tagged molecules, such as recombinant fusion proteins, are described. Methods for preparing a troponin affinity matrix that is capable of specifically binding its cognate ligand in the presence of calcium, and methods for using such a matrix to purify troponin-tagged molecules are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2006Publication date: July 13, 2006Applicant: Aristex, Inc.Inventors: Randolph Moeckli, Christopher Chadwick

Publication number: 20060111421Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of treatment or prevention of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by diagnosing that a person is in need of treatment or prevention of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and administering a therapeutically effective amount of a ligand which modulates NF-kB transcription factor by interaction with estrogen receptor ER-?, estrogen receptor ER-?, or both ER-? and ER-? estrogen receptors with a substantial absence of creatine kinase stimulation. In certain preferred embodiments, the administration is substantially without uterotropic activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2005Publication date: May 25, 2006Applicant: WyethInventors: Christopher Chadwick, Douglas Harnish

Publication number: 20050240511Abstract: An investment system for projects seeking funding, such as pre-trading enterprises, is disclosed. The system comprises a share allocation facility for allocating shares to a project on the basis of the funding that they require, and a stock exchange for trading shares in the project. During development of the project, the project is required to meet a number of development goals, and its progress through each of the development goals is audited. The results of the audit are published and may affect the share price in the project.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2004Publication date: October 27, 2005Inventors: Christopher Chadwick, Raglan Andrew Harold Tribe

Patent number: 6917399Abstract: An optical body includes a substrate and a cholesteric liquid crystal layer disposed on the substrate. The cholesteric liquid crystal layer has a non-uniform pitch along a thickness direction of the layer and comprises a crosslinked polymer material that substantially fixes the cholesteric liquid crystal layer. The crosslinking hinders diffusion of cholesteric liquid crystal material within the cholesteric liquid crystal layer. In other methods of making an optical body, a reservoir of chiral material is provided during the process over a first cholesteric liquid crystal layer to diffuse into the layer and provide a non-uniform pitch. Alternatively, two coating compositions can be disposed on a substrate where the material of the first coating composition is not substantially soluble in the second coating composition.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2001Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Richard John Pokorny, Marc Dudley Radcliffe, Philip Edwin Watson, Christopher Chadwick Bowley, Ikuko Ebihara
