Patent number: 10988226Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for constructing an airship quickly and cost-effectively are described. In one embodiments, an airship structure may have a plurality of mainframes, each comprising interconnected pyramid structures. One of the pyramid structures may include an apex joint, four base joints, first connectors, and second connectors. The apex joint and base joints may each have slots configured for receiving connectors. The apex joint may have four apex-to-base slots and each base joint may have a base-to-apex slot and two base-to-base slots. Each of the first connectors may connect the apex joint to one of the four base joints using one of the apex-to-base slots of the apex joint and the base-to-apex slot of that base joint. Each of the second connectors may connect two of the four base joints using one of the base-to-base slots of each of the two base joints connected by that second connector.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: LTA Research and Exploration, LLCInventors: Sergey Brin, Alan Weston, Fan Yang Yang, Franklin Kyle Kepley, Jesus Ricardo Amezquita Zatarain, Tsu Han, John Morehead, Benjamin Klamm, Eric Wilms, Edward Clements, III, David Sanchez, Shalom Johnson, Tanner Yaberg

Patent number: 8198079Abstract: The present invention is directed at optimized expression vectors for the expression of native-like heterologous proteins in insect cells. Compositions of the invention are nucleotide sequences representing elements of an expression vector that when combined results in enhanced expression and secretion of heterologous proteins. The elements include sequences that define transcriptional activators, core promoters, secretion signals, and 3? untranslated regions that are functional in insect cells. The elements contained in the optimized vectors are all synthetically derived or are modified variants of naturally occurring insect sequences. The expression vectors are useful for the expression of native-like proteins when protein encoding nucleotide sequences are operatively linked to the vectors. These vectors can be used to transform insect cells, which can then be cultured to produce the desired protein product.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2008Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.Inventors: David Edward Clements, Gordon V. L. Wang, Carolyn Weeks-Levy

Patent number: 7947286Abstract: Filovirus subunit protein immunogens are produced using a recombinant expression system and combined with one or more adjuvants in immunogenic formulations. The subunit proteins include GP95, GP-FL, VP40, VP24, and NP derived from Ebola Virus and Marburg Virus. Adjuvants include saponins, emulsions, alum, and dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitors. The disclosed immunogenic formulations are effective in inducing strong antibody responses directed against individual Filovirus proteins and intact Filovirus particles as well as stimulating cell-mediated immune responses to the Filoviruses.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2006Date of Patent: May 24, 2011Assignee: PanThera Biopharma LLCInventors: Axel Thomas Lehrer, David Edward Clements, Tom Humphreys

Publication number: 20070052966Abstract: An electromagnetic energy measurement apparatus and method for measuring first, second, and third wavelength components includes first and second coated optical elements having non-parallel surfaces. Proper selection of the parameters of the optical elements reduces the level of coma and astigmatism in the apparatus. Additionally, filters pass the first, second, and third wavelength components to first, second, and third sensors. Improvement in the alignment of the field of view between sensors is realized by applying an adjustable compressive force on the filters to individually adjust the field of view.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2005Publication date: March 8, 2007Inventors: Cliff Leidecker, J. Higgins, Carlo Janssens, Edward Clement

Patent number: 5716725Abstract: An electronic device (100) coupled to a power source (130) having a positive terminal and a negative terminal includes a positive connector (150) for coupling to the positive terminal of the power source (130) and a negative connector (160) for coupling to the negative terminal of the power source (130). An alert circuit (135) coupled to the positive and negative connectors (150, 160) indicates when the power source (130) has been coupled to the electronic device (100) improperly.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1996Date of Patent: February 10, 1998Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Mario A. Riveron, Lawrence Edward Clements
