  • Patent number: 9511086
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for improving immune system function are provided. These methods find particular use in improving immune system function in individuals with a condition in which naïve lymphocytes comprise elevated amounts of DNA double strand breaks (DSB), for example, individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis, individuals that have received a bone marrow transplant, or elderly individuals, e.g. individuals that are 50 or more years old. Also provided are methods and compositions for screening for novel compounds that will improve immune system function in such individuals.

  • Patent number: 7064261
    Abstract: An electronic musical score device is disclosed. An audio unit is provided for receiving a sound signal. An audio recognition unit performs an audio frequency recognition process to the sound signal to obtain a recognized musical note. A microprocessor unit receives musical score data with a plurality of standard musical notes and at least one recognized musical note and compares the recognized musical note with the plurality of standard musical notes to find a corresponding position for the recognized musical note in the music score data, wherein the music score data is capable of segmentation into at least one page. A display unit displays at least one page of the musical score data, wherein when the recognized musical note is located at a predetermined position in at least one page of the music score data, the microprocessor unit displays another page of the musical score data.
