Abstract: A main memory includes a first plurality of input/outputs (I/Os) configured to output data stored in the main memory in response to a read access request. A first portion of the first plurality of IOs provides user read data in response to the read access request and a second portion of the first plurality of IOs provides candidate replacement IOs. Repair circuitry is configured to selectively replace one or more IOs of the first portion of IOs using one or more of the candidate replacement IOs of the second portion of IOs to provide repaired read data in response to the read access request in accordance with repair mapping information corresponding to an access address of the read access request. A static random access memory (SRAM) stores repair mapping information, and a repair cache stores cached repair mapping information from the SRAM for address locations of the main memory.

Abstract: The present invention relates to fusion constructs of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) and their use for the treatment of cancer and in regenerative medicine. By this approach, the GPI-anchored TIMP proteins are incorporated into the surface membrane of tumor cells and render tumor cells sensitive to FAS-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, the fusion constructs of the present invention are effective agents useful in wound healing applications. In one embodiment, the TIMP is linked to mucin followed by GPI in order to enhance surface presentation. The use of GPI to link TIMP renders the resulting fusion protein particularly useful as an anti-cancer agent for the treatment of cancer, and, in particular, any residual cancer following an incomplete surgical resection of primary tumors in an individual.

Abstract: The present invention relates to chemokine-mucin fusions linked to glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchors and their use as anti-cancer adjuvants and as agents in tissue regeneration and suppression of vascular damage. GPI-linked chemokines are incorporated in the surface membrane of tumour cells and effect a recruitment of cytotoxic immune cells to the tumour site following injection in vivo. Leukocytes, cytotoxic T-cells and NK cells target the chemokine-GPI-anchored tumour cells and modulate cell-mediated lysis of the tumour cells. The efficiency of GPI-anchoring and modulation of immune cells can be further enhanced by linking the chemokine to a mucin domain followed by the GPI-anchor. The GPI-anchored chemokines, with or without mucin domain, are remarkably useful for the inhibition of tumour growth, tissue regeneration, and suppression of acute vascular damage to allografts.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel system and method for connecting and interfacing a communications device, such as a modem, to a two-wire telephone line via a telephone base set (e.g., PBX or PBX-like), thereby allowing for data communications on the telephone line. The modem and the telephone base are interconnected by way of an interface adapter. Interface circuitry present within the interface adapter converts the digital interface (e.g., a wireless or cellular interface) into a PBX-compatible interface for interaction with a PBX phone base set. The interface adapter allows a modem that has a digital peripheral interface such as a cellular interface to communicate with a PBX base using the existing cellular interface. In a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a cable detector circuit that allows the modem to automatically detect when it is connected to a telephone base by way of the interface adapter.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for monitoring and controlling automation equipment. The present invention uses a modem's processing and memory resources to interpret and translate data and commands associated with automation equipment. When receiving data from the automation equipment, the modem interprets the data using its own processing power and stores the interpreted results in its own memory for subsequent retrieval. Commands for control are translated into a compatible format by the modem and then transmitted to the automation equipment. The present invention also allows for remote access through the modem for both monitoring and controlling without requiring any host interaction. A modem according to the present invention further provides for its host to operate in a mode of reduced processing and power consumption while the modem continues to monitor and control automation equipment.
