Publication number: 20150218516Abstract: Molecular adjuvants are disclosed comprising an antigen presenting cell-targeting ligand linked to an immunogen, e.g. tumor associated antigens, bacterial or viral antigens. The ligand and the immunogen are linked via a cleavable linker such as a protease-sensitive oligopeptide, to facilitate processing of the adjuvant by the antigen presenting cell. Methods are disclosed for delivery of these molecular adjuvants to patients, resulting in the transduction of activating signals to the targeted antigen presenting cell, thereby enhancing the immune response to the co-delivered immunogen.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2015Publication date: August 6, 2015Inventors: Stefano R.

Patent number: 6594538Abstract: A method for identifying and characterizing shape variations in parts. Measurements are taken of a population of parts and the shapes of the parts are expressed as a function having a plurality of coefficients. Discrete or function error maps are developed from the coefficients and a principal components analysis is performed on the error maps to identify the principal components of variation of the parts. The parts may be grouped into sub-populations representing ranges of variation along each of the principal components of variation, and downstream processes may be controlled differently for each sub-population. In one embodiment, a typical (re-generated) part shape is identified along multiple principal components of variation, and a tool path is controlled to be responsive to the typical part shape. Information regarding the principal components of variation may further be used to revise upstream manufacturing processes to advantageously affect the distribution of error in subsequently manufactured parts.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2000Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Michael E.

Patent number: 5460098Abstract: A land transportation system comprising a fully enclosed tubular guideway and a self-propelled air-cushion vehicle disposed in the guideway for providing short and long distance transportation within an enclosed environment. The tubular guideway is secured to stanchions anchored to underground concrete pilings. The air-cushion vehicle includes an internal cavity for receiving passengers and/or cargo holding containers. Air foils, air intake openings and air discharge openings are disposed throughout the cylindrical vehicle to create an air cushion between the vehicle and the guideway, that completely encircles the vehicle, thereby preventing the vehicle from engaging any surface within the tubular guideway during travel.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1994Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Assignee: Levitated Transport Systems, Inc.Inventors: John D. Jackson, L. James Miller

Patent number: 4606614Abstract: An acousto-optic isolator for a semiconductor laser diode comprises a Fabry-Perot resonator tuned to the laser optical frequency f.sub.o followed by an acousto-optic Bragg diffraction device utilizing surface acoustic waves of frequency f.sub.a launched from a transducer. Light focussed by a lens to the load has a resultant frequency f.sub.o +f.sub.a. Any light reflected from the load suffers a further change in frequency to f.sub.o +2f.sub.a in the diffraction device and hence is blocked by the resonator. Undiffracted light can be detected at a photo-detector and used in a feedback control loop to stabilize the light source to the resonator.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1982Date of Patent: August 19, 1986Assignee: International Standard Electric CorporationInventors: John S.
