  • Patent number: 10367917
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for dynamically locating resources. In one aspect of the invention, a method to retrieve a resource for a digital processing system includes: receiving a request for a resource; downloading a first version of the resource from a server through a network connection to satisfy the request if the first version of the resource is retrievable through the network connection; and loading a second version of the resource from a storage device of the digital processing system if the first version of the resource is not retrievable through a network connection. In one example, downloading the first version is performed in response to a determination that the first version of the resource is different from a second version of the resource on a storage device of the digital processing system.

  • Patent number: 7706574
    Abstract: A system for authenticating messages using keystroke dynamics identifying a composer of a message using diagraphs transmitted by the use of an input device. Keystrokes are gathered by modules that determine the timing factors between each keystroke and diagraph that is created by the message composer. Once sufficient keystrokes and diagraphs are monitored that allows a generation of an identifier of a unique message composition rhythm, a unique signature of the message creator is stored within the created message. This authentication method is embedded within a message. When a user tries to access or authenticate a message, the user will be verified against the authorized signature contained within the message or authorized database of readers. If a match occurs, the user will then be allowed to access the message.

  • Publication number: 20090006860
    Abstract: The description generally provides for systems and methods for a mobile communication network. Archives of seals can be sealed to protect the integrity of the seals and facilitate validation in the event a sealing party's sealed registration document is revoked. A document can be sealed multiple times to nest seals within other seals. Specific evidentiary metadata can be included by the sealing party. A main document including or associated with other documents can be sealed as a collection of documents. The seal of the main document can include external references to the files included in the main document to verify the external files were not changed or altered.

  • Publication number: 20060165700
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of using whole glucan particles and complement activating antibodies for antitumor therapy. Whole glucan particles enhance the tumoricidal activity of the innate immune system by binding to the C3 complement protein receptor CR3. This binding enhances innate immune system cytotoxicity, as well as stimulating the release of activating cytokines.

  • Publication number: 20060009419
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of using neutral soluble glucan and monoclonal antibodies for antitumor therapy. Neutral soluble Beta (1,3; 1,6) glucan (NSG) enhances the tumoricidal activity of the innate immune system by binding to the C3 complement protein receptor CR3. The glucan does not stimulate the induction of inflammatory cytokines. Also described are methods of using whole glucan particles (WGP) as an immunomodulator by inducing a shift from a Th2 response to the Th1 response, leading to an enhanced antitumor cytotoxic T-cell response.
