Patent number: 10489600Abstract: Many users of information handling systems use applications to create, manage, and/or save files containing information. Encryption of the files secures the data against access by unintended recipients. Information handling systems may be designed to perform encryption in the background with minimal user input. For example, applications, application plug-ins, or operating system (OS) level system services may facilitate encryption and decryption of application files with minimal user input. Such applications, plugins, and services may allow applications to interact with encryption systems, such as virtual file systems, and may direct file save and access operations through the encryption systems, automatically encrypting and decrypting files selected by the user without exposing the user to cumbersome or confusing encryption options.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: James D. Testerman, David J. Fitzgerald, Oliver C. Ryan, Vadamalar Varadarajan, Adam W. Meek, Venkata S N M Prayaga, Nitin D. Dixit

Patent number: 7824695Abstract: This invention provides bioactive conjugates. The bioactive conjugates include: (1) a cell recognition moiety that binds to ?2 macroglobulin receptor ?2-MR and (2) a bioactive moiety which: (a) has a biological activity, (b) does not function solely as an immunogen to invoke an immune response and (c) does not have ADP ribosylating activity. The bioactive conjugates of this invention are useful in methods of transporting the bioactive moiety across a polar epithelial membrane. Thus, this invention provides methods for parenteral administration of proteins without injection.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2000Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignees: The United States of America as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services, Genentech, Inc.Inventors: David J.

Patent number: 7724460Abstract: A recording system employing a magneto-resistive (MR) element senses a resistance value of the MR element and generates one or more MR resistance (MRR) signal values based on the sensed MR element resistance value. The MRR signal values might be, for example, current or voltage values proportional or inversely proportional to the MR element resistance value. The MRR signal values might be employed to control one or more of: i) a unity gain bandwidth of a bias loop for the MR element, ii) an MR read head preamplifier low corner frequency, and iii) a slew rate across the MR element.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.Inventors: David J.
