Publication number: 20240076703Abstract: The present disclosure provides MTR kinase polypeptides having improved properties as compared to a naturally occurring wild-type MTR kinase polypeptide including the capability of phosphorylating D-ribose and 5?-D-isobutyrylribose to give alpha-D-ribose-1-phosphate and alpha 5?-D-isobutyrylribose-1-phosphate. Also provided are polynucleotides encoding the MTR kinase polypeptides, host cells capable of expressing the MTR kinase polypeptides, and methods of using the MTR kinase polypeptides to synthesize alpha-D-ribose-1-phosphate and alpha 5?-D-isobutyrylribose-1-phosphate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLCInventors: Tamas Benkovics, Hsing-I Ho, John McIntosh, Grant S.

Patent number: 10449441Abstract: In a method of notifying a user of an option to participate in a meta game, a presence of a player of a computer-implemented game at a location is detected. An association between a computer-implemented meta-game and the location is identified. The player of the computer-implemented game is presented with an option to participate in the computer-implemented meta-game. An indication of an acceptance of the option to participate in the computer-implemented meta game is received from the player of the computer-implemented game. A performance of an action within the computer-implemented game by the player of the computer-implemented game is reflected within the computer-implemented meta game.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Zynga Inc.Inventors: Justin Rouse, Kevin Holme, Daniel Hurd, Jason Tomlinson, Grant Yang, Shawn Lohstroh, Jessica Oyhenart, David Chow

Patent number: 9440146Abstract: In a method of managing a location-based meta game, a presence of a device is detected at a location. The device is configured to execute a computer-implemented game. Based on the detecting of the presence of the device, the device is instructed to present a user of the computer-implemented game with an option to participate in a computer-implemented meta game associated with the location.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2011Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Zynga Inc.Inventors: Justin Rouse, Kevin Holme, Daniel Hurd, Jason Tomlinson, Grant Yang, Shawn Lohstroh, Jessica Oyhenart, David Chow

Patent number: 9258379Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, a set of features are described for enabling an application server platform for telecom based applications. A system for providing an application server for telecom-based applications can include an application server that includes a session initiation protocol (SIP) adapter. The SIP adapter can use a connection oriented protocol and provides interactions with application code in an actor of said application server by means of asynchronized SIP protocol events. The SIP adapter can also provide stateless node mapping to a stateful server node hosting a specific session for the actor.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2011Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Andreas Jansson, Grant Yang, Jack Li, Vicky Liu, Tao Ma, Peng Liu, Ting Lou, Zun Wu, Yun Gao

Patent number: 5995919Abstract: An automatic multi-lingual recognizing method for distinguishing multi-lingual characters among different codes is disclosed. The method includes determining the code legitimacy of characters of a whole text by comparing code blocks of the characters with predefined code ranges of code systems. Next, if the code legitimacy of the characters is not uniquely recognized, the characters of the whole text is analyzed to determine whether the characters are common phrases by comparing the characters with common-phrase data bases. Finally, if the analysis of the common phrase of the characters is not uniquely recognized, the characters of the text is then analyzed to determine whether the characters are common words by comparing the characters with common-word data bases.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1997Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: Inventec CorporationInventors: Jackson Chang, Chaucer Chiu, Grant Yang
