Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to the recombinant production of a mature complement system protein. Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to recombinant production of fully mature human complement Factor I protein (CFI). Included herein are details of an expression vector with which to recombinantly express fully mature human CFI from mammalian cells. Further disclosed are chromatography steps with which to purify recombinantly expressed CFI. Certain aspects of the present invention relate to the use of an expression system in gene therapy and the like. Certain embodiments of the present invention relate to use of said vector as a medicament, for example for use in the treatment of complement-mediated disorders.

Abstract: The disclosure provides, in part, compositions comprising mature recombinant mature Complement Factor I (CFI) protein and methods of making and using those compositions.

Abstract: A method for printing at a local printer using the resources of a networked remote application server in which the networked remote application server responds to a print executable request from a local client by downloading a print proxy executable that obtains printing parameters. Upon receipt of printing parameters from the print proxy executable, the networked remote application server generates a printer-dependent data stream and downloads the data stream to the print proxy executable running on the local client. The print proxy executable then uses local printer utilities to execute the print job.

Abstract: A method for calibration of touchscreen display coordinates includes displaying a calibration target; sensing a calibration touch for the calibration target; obtaining a calibration touchpoint coordinate for the calibration touch; determining if the calibration touchpoint coordinate is valid; and if so, storing the calibration touchpoint coordinate in a touchpoint history database and using calibration touchpoint coordinates to define a calibration reference point for operation, otherwise generating a computed reference calibration point as an average of using a predetermined number of the calibration touchpoint coordinates in the touchpoint history database.

Abstract: For a personalized printed product that contains graphical elements, a data template in which instructions for operating on a graphical element are encoded. The data template can include the name of an executable computer program for accessing and downloading in order to generate the personalized printed product. Alternately, the data template can include source code that can be compiled and run by a computer, or machine code that is ready for execution. In a preferred embodiment, the data template is an XML file.

Abstract: A data template for a personalized printed product, where data fields for specific graphical components of the product indicate whether or not these graphical components can be edited and specify an edit order. An application parses the data template and presents the operator with interface screens in a sequence determined by edit order fields. Each interface screen prompts the user to complete the entry of a graphical component.

Abstract: A printing apparatus adapted to access data transmitted from a portable memory device, such as a hand-held organizer or similar device. Data received from the portable memory device can be incorporated into an output print to provide a business card or other personalized print item. A data template stored in the printing apparatus provides a structure for specifying the printed format of the data transmitted from the portable memory device.
