Patent number: 8141118Abstract: Systems and methods for data broadcasting and power management techniques for data broadcast receiving devices are disclosed. A data broadcast receiving device receives a broadcast schedule from a data broadcast server and correlates the broadcast schedule with profile information in the data broadcast receiving device to determine a schedule for activating a receiver module in the data broadcast receiving device. The receiver is activated in accordance with the schedule. The broadcast schedule may include a content identifier that identifies content associated with a specific broadcast schedule. A data broadcast may include metadata that identifies the content of the broadcast. The receiver may use the content identifier and the metadata to determine whether the broadcast data corresponds to the data scheduled for broadcast, and may implement an error routine in the event that there is not a correspondence.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2004Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Tim Regan, Pablo Rodriguez, Ken Wood

Patent number: 6544766Abstract: Described herein are methods of producing kinesins. In a preferred embodiment, the kinesins are produced from a prokaryote, most preferably, a bacterial cell. Bacterial expression offers several advantages over systems previously utilized, such as, for example, Bacculovirus. The yield of protein is higher, the cost of the expression setup is lower, and creation of alternative expression vectors is easier. The concern of copurifying a contaminating activity from the expression host is also eliminated since bacteria, in contrast to the bacculovirus expression system, do not have kinesin like proteins. Also described herein are purified kinesins, preferably unglycosylated and methods of use.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2000Date of Patent: April 8, 2003Assignee: Cytokinetics, Inc.Inventors: Christophe Beraud, Cara Ohashi, Roman Sakowicz, Eugeni Vaisberg, Ken Wood, Ming Yu
