  • Publication number: 20150112585
    Abstract: A transit system including a system data processor in communication with a driver data processor of a driver electronic device and a rider data processor of a rider electronic device. The system data processor receives vehicle information of a vehicle from the driver. data processor. The vehicle information includes a vehicle route and a geolocation of the vehicle. The system data processor receives a geolocation of a rider electronic device from the rider data processor, and sends the vehicle information and advertisement information over a communication network to the rider data processor. The advertisement information is based on the vehicle information and the geolocation of the rider electronic device.

  • Patent number: 8357524
    Abstract: This invention provides novel chemically modified mutant serine hydrolases that catalyze a transamidation and/or a transpeptidation and/or a transesterification reaction. The modified serine hydrolases have one or more amino acid residues in a subsite replaced with a cysteine, wherein the cysteine is modified by replacing the thiol hydrogen in the cysteine with a substituent group providing a thiol side chain comprising a moiety selected from the group consisting of a polar aromatic substituent, an alkyl amino group with a positive charge, and a glycoside. In particularly preferred embodiments, the substitutents include an oxazolidinone, a C1 to C15 alkyl amino group with a positive charge, or a glycoside.
