  • Publication number: 20210142104
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, displaying and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel artificial intelligence (AI) framework that integrates image capture and classification functionality within SCADA systems. The disclosed AI framework involves operation of a set of network-connected cameras within SCADA systems for provided visual surveillance to periodically or substantially continuously view, detect or identify current conditions, or conditions that satisfy a criteria. The disclosed systems and methods, therefore, provide an automated mechanism for monitoring conditions within SCADA systems, and alerting end users or applications to take an action using AI.

  • Patent number: 7504554
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-human transgenic animal, particularly a knock in mouse, whose genome comprises a heterologous, chimeric CTLA4 gene. The chimeric CTLA4 gene comprises exon 2 of the human CTLA4 gene, exon 1 and exon 4 of the non-human animal, and exon 3 of the CTLA4 gene of the non-human animal, or preferably, exon 3 of the human CTLA4 gene. The invention also relates to methods by which the transgenic mice are used to screen for monoclonal antibodies or other molecules that enhance immunity to tumors and infectious agents by interacting with the human CTLA4 receptor. The transgenic mice of the present invention are also useful for screening for monoclonal antibodies or other molecules that inhibit autoimmunity and transplant rejection.
