Publication number: 20150224182Abstract: A set of target peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of disease cells. They are envisioned to among other things (a) stimulate an immune response to the proliferative disease, e.g., cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) facilitate antibody recognition of tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, (d) act as biomarkers for early detection and/or diagnosis of the disease, and (e) act as targets in the generation antibody-like molecules which recognize the target-peptide/MHC complex.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2013Publication date: August 13, 2015Applicant: U.Va.

Publication number: 20140172289Abstract: A commuter groups service (CGS) allows commuters to join commuter groups so that they are able to socialize while commuting. Through the commuter groups, the users may share commuting routes, traffic updates, road conditions, and other information. Group members may arrange car pools, short term riding arrangements, and may anonymously or directly contact each other. The CGS may collect group member position information, e.g. GPS information, to enable the CGS to calculate traffic conditions and to select location specific information for group members. The system may include an on-line service accessible through a computer or wireless networking device. The user may log into the CGS, create or modify a user profile, and join groups of their choosing. Groups may be associated with specific events or with getting to/from work. Commuter groups may be formed for commuters that use private vehicles and/or public transportation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2014Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: Rockstar Consortium US LPInventor: Mark Cobbold

Publication number: 20130259883Abstract: A set of phosphorylated peptides are presented by HLA A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, B*4402, B*2705, B*1402, and B*0702 on the surface of melanoma cells. They have the potential to (a) stimulate an immune response to the cancer, (b) to function as immunotherapeutics in adoptive T-cell therapy or as a vaccine, (c) to facilitate antibody recognition of the tumor boundaries in surgical pathology samples, and (d) act as biomarkers for early detection of the disease. Phosphorylated peptides are also presented for other cancers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2011Publication date: October 3, 2013Applicant: PHOSIMMUNE, INC.Inventors: Donald F.

Patent number: 6952396Abstract: A control system enables transport of payload data across a dual counter rotating ring (DCRR) network having two or more nodes, each node providing access to the DCRR network by a respective local area network (LAN) subtending the node. The control system comprises a topology learning entity operative within each node for monitoring individual, links of the DCRR, discovering the active topology of the DCRR, communicating topology changes to other nodes in the DCRR, and informing frame forwarding and learning processes of the topology to enable failover to redundant resource upon detection of a network component failure. A frame forwarding process selects a shortest path route between a source and a destination node in the DCRR, and forwards frames to the destination node via the selected shortest path route. An address learning process inspects a source medium access control (MAC) address in each received frame to learn a shortest path route for each MAC address.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1999Date of Patent: October 4, 2005Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Peter Martin Kenneth Cottreau, David MacDonald Delaney, Alan Hurren, Wang-Hsin Peng, Mark Cobbold

Patent number: 6788681Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) over a connectionless network connecting a plurality of Local Area Networks (LANs), such as an Ethernet network, is disclosed. The method and apparatus comprises associated each VPN with a unique identifier and each LAN of the VPN with a interface device connecting the LAN to the connectionless network, which may be for example, a Synchronous Optical Network (SONET). The interface device may service a plurality of LANs. Accordingly, each LAN is associated with a User-Network Interface that forms part of the interface device. Each data packet destined for a second LAN, such Ethernet frames, received by the interface device for a first LAN is encapsulated with, if known, a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the interface device connected to the second LAN, the VPN's unique identifier, and the port on the interface device connected to the second LAN.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2000Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Alan J. Hurren, Joseph M. Regan, Paul Bottorff, Mark Cobbold
