Publication number: 20060246081Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic and prophylactic methods for treating or preventing an infectious disease in a subject by stimulating or enhancing an immune response against an infectious agent causing the disease. The methods comprise administering to the subject a plurality of compositions, each composition being administered to a different site of the subject, wherein each site is, or substantially drains to, an anatomically distinct lymph node, a group of lymph nodes, a nonencapsulated cluster of lymphoid tissue, or the spleen. Each composition comprises at least one antigenic molecule having one or more epitopes of the same infectious agent or a strain thereof. The antigenic molecules of each composition comprise in aggregate a set of epitopes distinct from that of any other composition that is administered to the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2005Publication date: November 2, 2006Inventors: Michael Deem, Jeong-Man Park, Hao Zhou

Publication number: 20060195460Abstract: A common data model (CDM) that is a data model common to multiple application-specific data models. The CDM supports both PIM (Personal Information Manager end-user application data and line-of-business (LOB) data. Similarly, an SDM-type (system definition model) application can specify its model on top of the CDM. The CDM enables improved interoperability between applications by employing an entity component that provides a data entity having a uniform identity across a plurality of disparate applications and a relationship component that defines a relationship between two or more of the data entities. The CDM provides a type system over which any algebra will operate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2005Publication date: August 31, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anil Nori, Steven Anonsen, Michael Deem, Michael Pizzo, Steven Harter

Publication number: 20060195425Abstract: A system for constructing information search queries is provided. The system comprises a query language that has a predefined syntax and a constructor that creates a search object. The search object encapsulates a query constructed in the query language. Methods for using the system are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2005Publication date: August 31, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael Deem, Edward Sheppard, Benjamin Albahari

Publication number: 20060195459Abstract: The subject innovation provides a system and/or a method that facilitates developing schemas for a file storage system. A type definition component can provide a schema grammar, wherein a generator component can employ the schema grammar to build the schema for the file storage system. The schema grammar can describe information types stored in the file storage system that are represented as instances of complex types that are part of a type system that supports inheritance. The schema grammar can support a declaration of an association between types, versioning specifications, and/or content indexing specifications.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2005Publication date: August 31, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anil Nori, Bekim Demiroski, Gregory Friedman, Michael Taylor, Michael Deem, Michael Newman, Michael Pizzo, Nigel Ellis, Sanjay Nagamangalam

Publication number: 20060195477Abstract: An application program interface (API) for a data platform. The API includes a generic data access component that exposes at least one of stores, sessions, transactions, and query services of the data platform, which data platform is associated with a data store. A data classes component of the API provides canonical, application-independent classes that expose types and relationships of a data model of the data platform. The API includes a domain data classes component of application-specific and framework-specific classes that expose domain-specific properties and behaviors of the data platform. The data platform can be a common data platform that interfaces to the data store to provide data services accessible by a plurality of disparate application frameworks, which data services allow a corresponding application of the different frameworks to access the data store.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2005Publication date: August 31, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael Deem, Benjamin Albahari, Ramesh Nagarajan, Michael Pizzo, Arthur Whitten, Edward Sheppard

Publication number: 20060190927Abstract: The subject disclosure pertains to relationships between items. Relationships between items can be defined external to the items themselves thereby providing a modular, flexible and extensible system. For instance, relationships between items can be defined in a class that includes methods for returning particular elements or values in accordance with a specified relationship. Moreover, a compiler or like system can be extended to accept relationship expressions in a simple property format and direct such calls to specific methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2005Publication date: August 24, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Benjamin Albahari, Michael Deem, Henricus Meijer

Publication number: 20050091285Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate interoperability and compatibility between disparate data systems. In one aspect, a file transformation system is provided having at least one file associated with one or more unstructured properties. A file property handler manipulates the unstructured properties in accordance with one or more structured properties associated with a structured object store environment. If an unstructured file is to be operated in the context of a structured object store environment, a promotion operation is performed to update unstructured properties in the file with structured properties suitable for operation in the structured object store environment. If a promoted item were to be manipulated in the structured object store environment, a demotion operation or reverse transformation is performed to update properties in the file.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2003Publication date: April 28, 2005Inventors: Prasanna Krishnan, Sambavi Muthukrishnan, Sameet Agarwal, Balan Raman, Michael Deem

Publication number: 20050044089Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a storage platform comprising: a data store in which data stored therein is defined in terms of items, elements, and relationships, wherein an item is a unit of data storable in the data store and comprises one or more elements, an element is an instance of a type comprising one or more fields, and a relationship is a link between at least two items; a set of schemas that define different types of items, elements, and relationships; and an application programming interface comprising a class for each of the different items, elements, and relationships defined in the set of schemas. Data may also be stored in the data store in the form of an extension to an existing item type, and wherein the application programming interface comprises a class for each different item extension.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2003Publication date: February 24, 2005Inventors: Winnie Wu, Michael Deem, Edward Sheppard, Lijiang Fang, Jian Li, Michael Taylor

Patent number: 4961539Abstract: A shredder for reducing used solid waste material to chips is described. The shredder and a storage container for the shredded wood are a part of a single mobile unit for on-site shredding and removal of shredded waste. A single drive engine is used to propel the vehicle in typical highway travel mode and also to power the shredder and auxiliary motors. A special vehicle drive unit/shredder coupling system is used to minimize torsional stress and strain on the drive engine. A lift mechanism is used to lift the pallets into the shredder and a paddle/pressurized air system is used to convey the shredded waste to an attached trailer.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1989Date of Patent: October 9, 1990Inventor: K.
