Publication number: 20240131152Abstract: This invention describes ways of obtaining nano-particulated adjuvants formed by different synthetic variants of GM3 ganglioside. Depending on the fine structure of the fatty acid in the ceramide of the synthetic GM3, said adjuvants are able to stimulate specifically and in a specialized way the humoral or cellular immune response against accompanying antigens. Particularly, this invention provides immunogenic vaccine compositions that comprise peptides, polypeptides or proteins and the aforementioned nanoparticles, which are formed through the dispersion of hydrophobic proteins of the outer membrane complex (OMC) of Neisseria meningitidis in solutions containing fully synthetic variants of the GM3 ganglioside.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Luis Enrique Fernández Molina, Belinda Sánchez Ramírez, Audry Fernández Gómez, Gretchen Bergado Báez, Circe Mesa Pardillo, Lisset Chao García, Narjara González Suárez, Dayana Pérez Martínez, Diana Rosa Hernández Fernández, Mabel Cruz Rodríguez, Ángel Alexis Manso Vargas, Vicente Guillermo Verez Bencomo, Blanca Idelmis Tolón Murguía, Miguel Antonio López López, Jesús Arturo Junco Barranco

Patent number: 11915539Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for student accountability systems. School buses can be equipped with a bus system that executes a driver application. Students carry student identification (ID) systems that identify the students to the bus system, which in turn reports a geographic location to a student accountability system. The bus system is configured to permit rapid boarding and easy usage by drivers. The student accountability system provides a parent portal and an administrator portal to monitor the students and provide other useful functions.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Secured Mobility, LLCInventors: Michael Laranang, Brett Christian Taylor, Ricardo Sevilla Lopez, Emmanuel Enrique Lopez

Patent number: 11868844Abstract: The present description relates to a 2D visual code based on the superposition of pure flat waves framed in black, designed to be read at long distances, with different types of degradation (noise, blurring or movement) and in adverse lighting conditions. To this end, the information carrying elements are waves that are distributed over the whole image. The combination of waves with different directions, frequencies, amplitudes and phases permits generating a high number of configurations that may be decoded in a robust and efficient manner.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: UNIVERSIDAD DE MURCIAInventors: Pedro Enrique López De Teruel Alcolea, Alberto Ruiz Garcia, Felix Jesus García Clemente

Publication number: 20230279419Abstract: Vascular sheath tissue-specific expression of phytochrome B or variants thereof in C3 plants increases photosynthesis rate and/or introduces a carbon refixation mechanism. The heritable genetic material of a C3 plant cell is altered such that one copy of phytochrome B, or active variant or functional fragment thereof is expressed specifically in vascular sheath cells. Whole plants are regenerated from these genetically altered plant cells. Alternatively, a Crispr modification of a native phytochrome locus in a plant cell is used to insert a vascular sheath-specific regulatory element, e.g. promoter or enhancer element, so that phytochrome B is expressed in vascular sheath cells of a regenerated whole plant. Genetically altered whole plants have increased yield-related traits, e.g. increased seed yield, resulting from the enhancement of photosynthesis and/or introduction of a carbon refixation mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2021Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: OXFORD UNIVERSITY INNOVATION LIMITEDInventors: Ross HENDRON, Enrique LOPEZ-JUEZ, Steven KELLY

Patent number: 11730098Abstract: A hydroponic growing system is presented. The system can include multiple growing trays in a vertical arrangement, where a pump supplies the top-most tray and each lower tray is supplied by the overlying tray, and where the plumbing elements for supply and drainage are arranged to one side of the system. The system includes variations to support different crop types within the same system, including removable growing structures for root vegetable, microgreens and supports for vining crops. The system can monitor and adjust the nutrients and other features of the systems water profile to concurrently group multiple crops in differing developing stages.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Rise Gardens Inc.Inventors: Henry W.

Patent number: 11541873Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for using energy harvesting modules as a means for providing energy to power an electrical load and/or as a means for monitoring an operational state of a component or components to which the energy harvesting module is coupled. In one example, a method includes, via a controller, monitoring an actual amount of energy generated by an energy harvesting module attached to a mounting structure that is used to secure a torque-supplying machine to a frame, comparing the actual amount to an expected amount, and indicating degradation of the mounting structure and/or the torque-supplying machine based on the comparing. In this way, the energy harvesting modules may both power electrical loads and simultaneously serve as a monitor for component degradation.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Kristian Ulyses Flores Aviña, Luis Felipe Blas Martínez, Miguel Angel Leon Guerrero, Enrique Lopez Hernandez
