Publication number: 20120095058Abstract: The present invention discloses compounds and pharmaceutical compositions which are highly effective at inhibiting the accumulation of spliced and unspliced viral transcripts and their utilization for viral protein synthesis at cellular ribosomes, and at inhibiting the formation of the hypusine residue in cellular eIF-5A precursor proteins, the cellular cofactors that render spliced and unspliced viral transcripts translatable at the ribosomes of infectled cells. The invention further relates to methods of using such compounds and pharmaceutical compositions therefrom for inhibiting or preventing viral protein synthesis. Such inhibition cause a dose-dependent release from the virally induced arrest of the otherwise genetically preprogrammed apoptosis of virally infected cells, and in consequence, triggers their apoptotic ablation and the eradication of the chronic infection-mediating provirus integrated into their genome.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2004Publication date: April 19, 2012Inventors: H., M. Hanauske-Abel, Paul Palumbo, B., M. Cracchiolo, Myung-Hee Park, Edith Wolff, Axel-Rainer Hanauske, Michael B. Mathews, Deepti Saxena, Mainul Hoque

Delivering high precision, high resolution positioning information using signals of opportunity, the present invention measures the Doppler shift of a moving device using a variety of signals combined with inertial accelerometers and environmental sensors to deliver an autonomous positioning and navigation capability that does not require external infrastructure or a priori knowledge of signal sources.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2011Publication date: April 12, 2012Inventors: Michael B. Mathews, Peter F. MacDoran

Publication number: 20110234454Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for providing location determination in a configured environment in which Global Navigation Satellite System Signals are not available. In this regard, local beacon systems generate spread spectrum CDMA signals that are received by spectral compression units that derive physically meaningful observations without a requirement for correlation of the intercepted energy by means of the known spreading codes. The invention can coexist with communication assets already in place, and the design allows for self calibration, which simplifies installation and usage. The invention has utility in applications in which GNSS signals are unavailable or limited, for example, in warehouse inventory management, in search and rescue operations and in asset tracking in indoor environments.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2011Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: LOCTRONIX CORPORATIONInventors: Michael B. Mathews, Kenn L. Gold, Peter F. MacDoran

Patent number: 7721144Abstract: Multiple Array Management Functions (AMFs) are connected to multiple redundancy groups over a storage area network (SAN), such as a fiber-channel based SAN. The multiple AMFs share management responsibility of the redundancy groups, each of which typically includes multiple resources spread over multiple disks. The AMFs provide concurrent access to the redundancy groups for associated host systems. When a host requests an AMF to perform an operation on a resource, the AMF synchronizes with the other AMFs sharing control of the redundancy group that includes the resource to be operated on, so as to obtain access to the resource. While performing the operation, the AMF send replication data and state information associated with the resource such that if the AMF fails, any of the other AMFs are able to complete the operation and maintain data reliability and coherency.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2007Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: William P. Brown, Michael B. Mathews, Ron Unrau, Dale Hagglund

Patent number: 7432047Abstract: Method for screening for an antiviral agent, by determining whether a potential agent interacts with a virus or cellular component which allows or prevents preferential translation of a virus RNA compared to a host RNA under virus infection conditions; and determining whether any interaction of the agent with the component reduces the level of translation of an RNA of the virus.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2006Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Vincent J.

Patent number: 7426730Abstract: The system and methods of the present invention provide a processing function that is useful for controlling any type of transaction between providers and consumers of information services. The invention provides a transaction framework that dynamically integrates a plurality of service providers and consumers based on transaction context data. Transactions between services are described using a transaction definition. A transaction definition specifies the details of the transaction using a uniform specification model, where services are classified through a standardized taxonomic structure. The processing function analyzes service classification during a transaction to determine the appropriate configuration and processing strategy.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2002Date of Patent: September 16, 2008Assignee: WRE-HOL LLCInventors: Michael B.

Patent number: 7149625Abstract: The present invention provides for distributed navigation and route guidance using networked computing devices. A computing device may host one or more navigation functional components. The location of a navigable object is sensed and communicated to associated navigation components in a communication network. The navigation components collectively provide guidance information to a navigable object controller. A navigable object controller directs the movement of an navigable object using guidance information to keep it on a specified route. The navigable object controller interacts with the distributed navigation system through an interface, which provides the appropriate presentation of guidance information and functions for the particular type of navigable object controller (e.g., human-machine interface, or system to system).Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Inventors: Michael B.
