Abstract: Methods of treating CMV (cytomegalovirus) retinitis in a human patient in need thereof comprise administering to the human patient a population of allogeneic T cells comprising CMV-specific T cells, wherein the human patient is infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or has been the recipient of a solid organ transplant.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of selecting a T cell line from among a collection of T cell lines for therapeutic administration to a human patient to treat a disease or disorder associated with a pathogen or to treat a cancer in the human patient. When the human patient has not been the recipient of any cellular transplant, the method involves excluding T cell lines restricted by only one HLA allele shared with the human patient and selecting a T cell line that is restricted to more than one HLA allele shared with the human patient and that exhibits a T cell response against an antigen of the pathogen or cancer.

Also disclosed are antigen-specific T cells generated by such methods, and methods of treating a human patient using such antigen-specific T cells.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of generating antigen-specific T cells for therapeutic administration to a human patient having or suspected of having a pathogen or cancer, utilizing soluble IL-15/IL-15R? complexes ex vivo, in cell culture during ex vivo sensitizing of T cells to the antigen or during ex vivo culturing of antigen-specific T cells. Also disclosed are antigen-specific T cells generated by such methods, and methods of treating a human patient using such antigen-specific T cells. Cell culture systems comprising human T cells, antigen-presenting cells, and soluble IL-15/IL-15R? complexes are also provided.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating a human patient, comprising administering to the human patient an inhibitory immune checkpoint inhibitor or stimulatory immune checkpoint activator and administering to the human patient a population of human cells comprising antigen-specific T cells that are derived from a T cell line restricted by a subdominant HLA allele or HLA allele combination. Also provided are methods of selecting such a T cell line and methods of selecting a T cell donor from whom to derive such a T cell line, for therapeutic administration to a human patient in combination with administration of an inhibitory immune checkpoint inhibitor or stimulatory immune checkpoint activator. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising an inhibitory immune checkpoint inhibitor or stimulatory immune checkpoint activator and a population of human cells comprising antigen-specific T cells that are derived from a T cell line restricted by a subdominant HLA allele or HLA allele combination.

Abstract: An analytics server for use in a transaction system with a terminal for performing authenticated user-initiated transactions and generating transaction data including a user identity associated with each transaction and a camera for capturing image data of a user performing an authenticated transaction at the terminal is configured to extract user characteristic features from the image data associated with authenticated transactions and iteratively update a user database of the user characteristic features over multiple authenticated transactions. The analytics server is further configured to compute a match score, based on preset rules, of the user characteristic features for a current transaction with the user characteristic features associated with a current user stored in the user database, and raise an alarm when the match score fails to meet a threshold value.

Abstract: A dispatch control system includes a data store with records of previously-attended geographical positions of a mobile unit indicating at least a duration of attendance. The dispatch control system is configured to calculate one or more stochastic characteristics for the durations of attendance representative of a variability of the durations of attendance at said past geographical positions, and generate data indicative of an order of attendance for the mobile unit based on travel and estimated durations of attendance. This data is re-ordered and volatility metrics for each set of modified data are determined. The set of volatility metrics is used to modify the data indicative of an order of attendance for the mobile unit. The dispatch control system is configured to transmit to the mobile unit data indicative of geographical positions corresponding to said modified generated data for use in generating routing instructions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in a human patient in need thereof, comprising administering to the human patient a population of allogeneic T cells comprising CMV (cytomegalovirus)-specific T cells.

Abstract: Examples are described relating to control of a geographical position of a mobile unit in time. In one example, a dispatch control system is provided. The dispatch control system has a data store with records of previously-attended geographical positions. These records indicate at least a duration of attendance. The dispatch control system is arranged to calculate one or more stochastic characteristics for the durations of attendance based on the records stored in the data store, the one or more measured stochastic characteristics being representative of a variability of the durations of attendance at said past geographical positions. It is also arranged to generate data indicative of an order of attendance for a mobile unit based on travel and estimated durations of attendance. This data is re-ordered and volatility metrics for each set of modified data are determined. The set of volatility metrics is used to modify the data indicative of an order of attendance for a mobile unit.

Abstract: A method of laser machining a fluid slot includes directing a UV laser beam towards a substrate with microelectronics to form a slot through the substrate.

Abstract: Ions for neutralizing electrostatic charge on an object are generated and delivered in a stream of gas flowing through a dielectric channel that surrounds a loop of conductive filament which forms an ionizing electrode. The loop is formed within a single plane, or within multiple planes, and is supported within the channel with a plane of the loop substantially aligned with flow of gas through the channel. A region of minimum field intensity within the bounded region of the loop electrode is oriented in alignment with substantially maximum velocity of gas flow through a cross section of the dielectric channel.

Abstract: A system tracks ownership data for data resources coupled on a network. The system includes a data extractor for extracting data resource communication activity data from a plurality of network activity data sources, a database of organizational data resource ownership data, and a communication activity report generator for correlating extracted data resource communication activity data and organizational data resource ownership data so that ownership of communication activity may be tracked. The data extractor obtains network activity data from a variety of data sources such as firewalls, routers, servers, PBXs, softswitches, media gateways, SS7 signaling points, integrated access devices, and calling card imports. Network activity data about communication activity may be obtained directly from the data resources initiating the communication activity or from data sources that handle communication activity initiated by a data resource.
