Patent number: 10596237Abstract: Pneumonia due to the fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii is a life-threatening infection that occurs in immunocompromised patients. The inability to culture the organism as well as the lack of a sequenced genome has hindered antigen discovery that could be useful in developing effective vaccines, therapeutic antibodies and diagnostic methods. A method of surface proteomics of Pneumocystis murina that reliably detects surface proteins that are conserved in Pneumocystis jirovecii is described. In particular, eight identified P. murina surface proteins are described. Methods of eliciting immune responses against the identified proteins, generating therapeutic antibodies against the identified proteins, as well as diagnostic methods based on the identified peptides are described.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2015Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignees: University of Pittsburgh—Of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, University of New Orleans, Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical CollegeInventors: Jay Kennedy Kolls, Mingquan Michael Zheng, Yang Cai, Taylor John Eddens, David M. Ricks

Patent number: 10572247Abstract: A prototype management system to provide cross team tools, frameworks, prototype management, and prototype tracking capabilities to improve the overall timeliness and quality of application and web-based product development. In an example, the prototype management system may be configured to cause the prototype to act as a live website that may be accessed by each of the teams and causes each team member to develop operable objects opposed to simulated objects.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2016Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.Inventors: Bolivar Cesar Lora, Robbie Smith, Shannon Jay Kennedy

Publication number: 20060189908Abstract: A pelvic traction harness including a circumferential belt that is adapted to be secured around the torso of a patient and has a first end, a second end and a posterior area intermediate the first end and the second end. The harness also includes a separate cinching strap belt that is adapted to be secured around the circumferential belt and has a male end, a female end and an anterior region intermediate the male end and the female end. The harness also includes a pulling strap having an anterior end and a posterior end, said anterior end being adapted to be attached to anterior region of the cinching strap belt, said posterior end being adapted to be attached to the posterior area of the circumferential belt. The pulling strap is also adapted to extend between the legs of the patient and attach to a source for applying a pulling force. The invention also includes a method for applying a traction force to the spine of a patient through the pelvic region of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2003Publication date: August 24, 2006Inventor: Jay Kennedy

Patent number: 5928777Abstract: A high pressure laminate is made of several layers of paper, including from bottom to top core sheets, a decor sheet and an overlay sheet. The core sheets are either composed of cellulose fibers or composed of 30 to 90 weight percent cellulose acetate fibers and 70 to 10 weight percent cellulose fibers. The core sheets are respectively coated with either a lamination polymer or a plasticizer. The decor sheet is composed of a mixture and a conventional amount of paper making dye. The mixture comprises 30 to about 90 weight percent cellulose acetate fibers, 10 to 70 weight percent cellulose fibers and 0 to 20 weight percent fillers. The decor sheet is coated with a plasticizer. The overlay sheet is composed of cellulose fibers and is coated with a lamination polymer. Upon application of heat and pressure to the several layers a laminate is formed having thermoplastic properties, improved postformability and a significant reduction in the release of volatile organics during formation.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1998Date of Patent: July 27, 1999Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Stephen Todd Cox, Melvin Glenn Mitchell, Paul Jay Kennedy, Guy Fostine Massie, Jr., Freddie Wayne Williams

Patent number: 5922451Abstract: A decorative paper sheet for use in preparing a decorative laminate is made up of a matrix containing from about 15 to about 60 weight percent of cellulose and from about 40 to about 85 weight percent of cellulose acetate. The sheet also contains a plasticizer for the cellulose acetate in an amount ranging from about 40 to about 90 weight percent based on the weight of the cellulose acetate in said matrix. A filler material may be present in the sheet in an amount ranging from about 1 to about 18 weight percent based on the weight of the matrix. A low pressure laminate may be made from sheet and a structural substrate therefor by application of heat and pressure. The plasticized cellulose acetate fuses and resolidifies to bond the sheet to the structural substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1996Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Stephen Todd Cox, Robert Lee Bradley, Jr., Paul Jay Kennedy, Guy Fostine Massie, Jr., Melvin Glenn Mitchell, Freddie Wayne Williams
