Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of immunogenic compositions and vaccines, their manufacture, host cells which can be used in their manufacture and the use of such immunogenic compositions and vaccines in medicine. More particularly, it relates to Klebsiella pneumoniae O-antigens, conjugates comprising a K. pneumoniae O-antigen, host cells suitable for their production and immunogenic compositions or vaccines containing at least one Klebsiella pneumoniae O-antigen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of modified proteins, immunogenic compositions and vaccines comprising the modified proteins, their manufacture and the use of such compositions in medicine. More particularly, it relates to a modified EPA (Exotoxin A of Pseudomonas aeruginosa) protein. The modified EPA can be used as a carrier protein for other antigens, particularly saccharide antigens or other antigens lacking T cell epitopes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for multi-threaded processing that is an improvement over conventional systems. The system of the present invention comprises multiple threads of execution, multiple apartments, shared data, and a concurrency management component. The threads of execution run independently and each occupy one apartment. The apartments contain objects that have methods to perform operations. The shared data contains data that is accessible by all threads within the process. The concurrency management mechanism performs processing so that the multiple threads can execute concurrently in a reliable and robust manner. In an alternative system of the present invention, the threads are separate from the apartments and the threads execute within the apartments to perform processing. After performing the processing, the thread exits the apartment so that the apartment may be occupied by another thread.

Abstract: An object-oriented framework unifies retrieval and browsing of data locally and from remote computer networks. The framework includes a class of monikers that operate on behalf of a client program to asynchronously bind or retrieve data referenced by a name without blocking execution of the client. This allows the client to provide responsive user interaction including when remotely retrieving data.

Abstract: An improved mechanism for communicating between computer programs is provided. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a computer system has a source computer program, a destination computer program and a communication mechanism for sending a communication from the source computer program to the destination computer program. The communication mechanism contains a concurrency management mechanism for handling events when a communication is pending. The source computer program sends a communication to the destination computer program using the communication mechanism. While the remote communication is pending, the concurrency management mechanism of the preferred embodiment provides concurrency management. The source computer program then receives a reply to the communication from the destination computer program.
