Patent number: 8899137Abstract: A remote jettison system is provided to disconnect a mine roller from a tactical vehicle. The system enables personnel conducting mine roller operations to disengage the vehicle from the mine roller without leaving the vehicle. The remote jettison system has two assemblies: A mine roller assembly and a tactical vehicle assembly. The mine roller assembly, which is connected to the mine roller, can be remotely disconnected from the tactical vehicle assembly, which is mounted on the vehicle. The system utilizes one mechanized latch to release the mine roller assembly from the tactical vehicle assembly, allowing the force of gravity to cause them to separate.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2013Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Dustin T. Bride, Daniel P. Coats, Michael Conn, Christopher J. Doyle, John M. Gwyn

Publication number: 20100144605Abstract: Herein disclosed is a method of rescuing gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) mutants with IN3 or a mimetic thereof. IN3 significantly rescues 11 missense mutations as assessed by radioligand binding and by IP production. Such rescue occurred despite widely disparate loci along the receptor. In addition, many altered GnRH receptors (terminally truncated, internal deletions, or lacking the ability to form bridges to form tertiary structure) were rescued with IN3.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2010Publication date: June 10, 2010Inventor: P.

Publication number: 20070204345Abstract: A method of detecting computer security threats. A first step involves providing a reference database of selected parameters to be monitored relating to one of human behaviour when operating a computer or software behaviour during operation of a computer. A second step involves monitoring one of human behaviour or software behaviour originating from a selected computer over a time interval. A third step involves comparing the monitored behaviours to the selected parameters in the reference database and determining the presence or absence of a potential security threat from such comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2006Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventors: Elton Pereira, Adrian Pereira, Donald Wharton, Christopher Coldwell, Michael Conn

Publication number: 20060194234Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for screening and identifying test compounds that bind to a preselected target ribonucleic acid (“RNA”). Direct, non-competitive binding assays are advantageously used to screen bead-based libraries of compounds for those that selectively bind to a preselected target RNA. Binding of target RNA molecules to a particular test compound is detected using any physical method that measures the altered physical property of the target RNA bound to a test compound. The structure of the test compound attached to the labeled RNA is also determined. The methods used will depend, in part, on the nature of the library screened. The methods of the present invention provide a simple, sensitive assay for high-throughput screening of libraries of compounds to identify pharmaceutical leads.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2006Publication date: August 31, 2006Inventors: Michael Conn, Mathew Pelligrini, Seongwoo Hwang, Young-Choon Moon, Neil Almstead

Patent number: 4618598Abstract: A synthetic hormone complex comprising means for binding to the surface of a cell and means for altering second messenger mobilization by the cell. One form of the synthetic hormone complex functions as an antagonist with specific binding affinity for a cell receptor, said hormone in combination with a calcium ion channel inhibitor. Another synthetic hormone complex functioning as an Agonist comprising two or more molecules of a hormone having specific binding affinity for a cell receptor wherein a spacer binding the hormones is 10 to 300 angstroms in length. A method of regulating hormones or other regulatory factors comprising contacting a synthetic hormone complex with a cell surface or internal receptor thereby altering the incorporation of second messenger molecules thereby regulating the physiological function of the cell.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1982Date of Patent: October 21, 1986Assignee: Duke UniversityInventor: P.
